Anti-Muslim Sentiment in the United States: My Two Cents

But while there have been around 3,000 Americans killed in various attacks by extremists over the last fifteen years, as well as almost 7,000 additional casualties, not many Muslims in the U.S. have experienced violence from bigoted Americans.
In the United States, there have been four Muslims that have been killed over the last fifteen years as a clear result of anti-Muslim bigotry or “Islamophobia.” Four deaths is a tragedy, of course, but the number seems low if as many Americans were as dead-set on causing harm to Muslims as some have suggested. Certainly there are some Americans that have wanted to do harm to U.S. Muslims, as beyond the four deaths there have also been many reports and prosecutions of threats, physical assaults, and even some additional attempted murders, but very few actual killings. | Andrew Holt, Ph.D.
