Présentation de l'éditeur

This source book concentrates on the impact of 9/11 on the American Muslims and how they are responding to the post-9/11 situation when their civil rights have been abridged, their faith is under contant attack and they are virtually treated as second class citizens. After the Japanese attack on the Pearl Harbor, more than 100,000 Japanese Americans on the West Coast were imprisoned in 10 relocation camps in the United States. But after 9/11, the whole country is converted into a virtual detention camp for the Muslims in America by abridging their civil rights. The book is divided into 11 chapters namely: (1) The Civil Rights (2) Islamophobia (3) Campaign against Muslim charities (4) Muslims face inquisition (5) Institutionalized profiling (6) Stereotyping - Movies, media (7) Hate crimes, discrimination & harassment (8) Attempt to silence genuine Muslim voices (9) American Muslim response to the post-9/11 challenges (10) Muslims in politics (11) Erosion of civil rights in the post-9/11 America. The book also includes an appendix: Who are American Muslims? Demographic data.
