US anti-Muslim sentiment remains contested 25 years after 9/11
An Al Jazeera report examines persistent negative perceptions of Islam alongside growing Muslim political representation in the United States.
Twenty-five years after the 11 September 2001 attacks, negative perceptions of Islam reportedly persist in the United States, according to a report by Al Jazeera Global News.
The report asks whether the US is more anti-Muslim now than it was after 9/11. The material available does not resolve that comparison or establish whether anti-Muslim sentiment has risen or fallen.
It highlights the coexistence of continuing negative perceptions of Islam and increased Muslim political representation in the US over the same period.
The report provides no polling figures, methodology or other measures to determine the scale of changing public attitudes. It also does not specify the extent or meaning of the growth in political representation.
The comparison therefore remains an open question, with the supplied material documenting two parallel developments rather than establishing a relationship between them.
