Muslims in America, Ten Years After 9/11American perceptions of Islam continue to put Muslims on the defense.

Before the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks occurred, American Muslims across the nation maintained

relatively low profiles, forming close-knit communities in which they lived and worshipped together. But since

that fateful day, when close to 3,000 people including many Muslims lost their lives in the terrorist

attacks that took place in New York, Pennsylvania and Virginia, they were suddenly forced into an unwanted

limelight.

Before 9/11, Muslims didnt reach out much to a lot of people outside of their communities or to other faith

groups, said Zainab Al-Suwaij, executive director of the American Islamic Congress in Washington, D.C.

But after 9/11, they were kind of forced to do that, to tell the rest of the world that we are here, we are part of

the American mosaic and we are here as American citizens.

In addition, Al-Suwaij said, they opened the doors of their mosques, community centers and organizations to

encourage more interaction and understanding between Muslims and people of other faiths. One message

theyve tried to send is that they, too, were affected by the events of 9/11.

Sept. 11 shook all of us. It was a horrible action that we will remember for as long as we live. We remember

the date, we remember the moment it happened because it was something we never expected, said Al-

Suwaij.

That unfortunately hasnt s topped some Americans from viewing them and their Islamic faith with suspic ion.

Even some lawmakers can be counted among those whove shown prejudices against Muslims, as

evidenced by Rep. Peter King (R-New York), who, as chairman of the House Committee on Homeland

Security, has hosted hearings on the threat of Islamic extremism in America. Rep. Keith Ellison (D-

Minnesota), one of two Muslims serving in the House, famously condemned Kings actions.

Targeting of the Muslim-American community for the act ions of a few is unjust, he tearfully testified at the

first hearing earlier this year. Stoking fears about an entire group for a political agenda is not new in

American history.

Rep. Allen West (R-Florida), one of two African-American House Republicans, also has harshly criticized

Islam, calling it an ideology and not a faith, at an event he hosted on Capitol Hill in the days leading up to

the 10th anniversary of 9/11.

According to a recent study from the Pew Research Center, 10 years later, 55 percent of Muslim Americans

say it has become more difficult to be a Muslim in the United States and report having experienced

mistreatment or discrimination in just the past year. Interestingly, 66 percent said that life for Muslims isbetter here than in most Muslim nations.

Al-Suwaij believes that American views of Muslims are influenced by where they get their news, whether

they are watching CNN or Fox News, for example, she said.

Stephen Zunes, a professor of politics and international studies at the University of San Francisco, said

theres always been a fair amount of stereotyping of Muslims in America, which was exacerbated in the

media aftermath of 9/11. He believes that prejudice against Islam is parallel to the anti-Semitism that once

pervaded the nation.

One thing that is quite revealing to me is that close to two-thirds of Americans say they dont even know any

Muslims. People have found that whether it be related to race or with social preference or anything else, that

when people actually know someone personally of a particular minority group that prejudice

dissipates, Zunes said, adding that the good news is that Muslims and other groups have made efforts to

engage in dialogue and discourse to develop a better understanding of each other.

And although Zunes is shocked that West and others would say that Islam is not a religion, he said,

Interpretations regarding the political, social and economic applications of Islamic thought in todays world

are as diverse as they are in Christianity or Judaism.

Interestingly, a University of Maryland report on American views on 9/11 in the past decade showed that in

response to an ABC News survey conducted in October 2001, 47 percent said they had a generally favorable

view of Islam. In subsequent years, however, in polls conducted by ABC and other organizations, that

number has declined. In an August 2011 poll, only 33 percent of respondents had a generally favorable

opinion, versus 61 percent who said they had an unfavorable opinion.
