Talk:Rise of Islamophobia in the USA
Hey! I really found your topic interesting. I was curious about whether you were going to discuss the perception immediately after 9/11 or if you were going to discuss Islamophobia in the USA today. I think a perspective that you can bring up is the U.S. Presidential Election, I believe there were many talks of Islamophobia (especially by Donald Trump) which would be an interesting take on the topic as well! Good luck!

Hey, I really enjoyed reading your wiki page as I felt that this is such an important topic to be highlighted and it still fits in well with the course. Your use of graphics was very beneficial and helpful to analyzing the topic as a whole. Although the whole wiki was very informative, I think the strongest most impacting section would be the final one titled "Implication of Islamophobia." I would definitely elaborate on this section because I believe it would be the most successful way to show the emphasis of your whole topic.
Obviously the page is not completed with information yet, however by the loos of the headers that you have in place it looks like you have a good idea of the direction you want the page to go. I think that in a page related to Islamophobia in the USA it would be interesting to look at how much money was spent by the government during the War on Terror, and some of the economic effects there. Excited to see the completion of this page!
I found your topic to be very interesting. The stereotypes and racism experienced by Muslims after 9/11 is sickening. When white people commit acts of terror, they're labeled as unstable, troubled, or mentally ill. If it were a Muslim who committed the identical act, many are labelled as a terrorist just because of their religion and skin colour. Nobody takes into account that they're born and raised in the USA. Once Trump was elected, his negative stereotypes and racist comments empowered people to become even more outgoing with their hate. You're analysis is solid and dives into many of the ongoing issues experienced today.
