This paper discusses the types of discriminatory actions that have taken place against the Arab and Muslim communities in America since the events of September 11th. The paper examines why this type of discrimination exists and provides suggestions as to what can be done to remedy the issue.
“Since the events of September 11th many Arab Americans have experienced discrimination in their mosques, on their jobs and in the communities in which they live. Many have been beaten, robbed and some have even lost their lives because of the ignorance of others. Discrimination against different ethnic group is not a new social issue it has existed for generations. However, for the Arab and Muslim community this issue has been of special concern in lieu of the terrorist attacks.”
