This explains the effect of 9/11 on the muslim-american community nearly 17 years after the
event. They are all still affected by the event and will probably continue to be treated poorly.
After 9/11 there was a national fear of the muslim community.

This article goes over the events of 9/11, and gives us a little bit more perspective on why
people reacted the way they did. It is easy to forget that Muslims were not treated any better
before 9/11.

This article discusses the treatment of Muslims before and after 9/11. It is easy to see that most
people did not like Muslims in America after the terrible events. The poor treatment of Muslims
can be seen through their interpretation from the public. The public eye hated the muslims and
this caused muslims to question their own beliefs.

While ideas about religious liberty and tolerance are central to America’s founding and
national story, different religious groups – including Catholics, Jews and Mormons –
have suffered discrimination​ in the United States at various points in history. Today,
Americans say some religious groups continue to be discriminated against and
disadvantaged, according to an analysis of recent Pew Research Center surveys.

Muslims are hard to trust because they have a philosophy rooted in religion, which
makes it nearly impossible to convince them of the flaws in their religion.

Democrats are more likely to discriminate against muslims.

Whether or not Muslims should be treated negatively or positively can be based off of
how they react towards the discrimination they face.
