Over Two-Thirds Of Muslim Americans Have Faced Islamophobia, New Survey Finds
HuffPost
An overwhelming 94% of respondents said Islamophobia affects their emotional and mental well-being.
More than two-thirds of Muslim Americans have personally encountered Islamophobia at least once in their life, according to a new survey.
The study — which surveyed 1,123 American Muslims across the country last fall — aimed to assess the impact of Islamophobia on behaviors and attitudes, as well as to provide insight into how state and federal policies that disproportionately target Muslims have impacted their social, psychological and emotional well-being. The Othering & Belonging Institute at the University of California, Berkeley, released the report, “Islamophobia through the Eyes of Muslims,” on Wednesday.
“One thing that is particularly interesting about the survey, or the findings, is that we’re actually able to quantify the prevalence of Islamophobia, and that is just heartbreaking,” said Basima Sisemore, a researcher at the institute’s Global Justice Program and one of the authors of the report.
