50% increase in hostility against American Muslims

Data from a human rights group showed on Tuesday that discrimination and attacks against Muslims and Palestinians in the United States will reach their highest level in 2023, which is due to the rise of Islamophobia and extreme prejudices. This is while the crimes of the Zionist regime against Gaza are rampant.

According to the Reuters report, the total number of complaints reached 8061 in 2023, which is a 56% increase compared to the previous year. This is the highest figure since the Council on American-Islamic Relations, known as CAIR, which started its work nearly 30 years ago. The organization further said that about 3,600 of these incidents occurred from October to December.

This report states: The main driving force of this wave of Islamophobia was the escalation of violence in Israel and Palestine in October 2023. Kerr said the most complaints in 2023 were in the categories of immigration, asylum, employment discrimination, hate crimes and discrimination in education. The agency added that it compiled the numbers by reviewing public data and video, as well as reports from public calls, emails and an online complaint system.
