Text of Note

This thesis will use focus group discussions to explore Muslim Americans' perceptions of Islamophobia, anti-Muslim prejudice and discrimination, and the prevalence of hate crimes against Muslims in the U.S. Whereas prior data has predominantly focused on how non-Muslim Americans feel about Muslims, the focus group data is expected to reveal how Muslim Americans feel about their treatment and the often negative public narrative in the United States. This thesis will also give respondents an opportunity to describe the impact of anti-Islamic rhetoric and behavior on their core identity, identity as Americans, and sense of community. This subject is worthy of investigation because of the intensity of anti-Islamic rhetoric, especially during the 2016 election, and widespread fear caused by the rise of terrorist groups. This study is both timely and necessary in order to explore perceptions held by Muslims regarding their safety, their sense of belonging, and their thoughts on terrorism carried out in the name of Islam.
