More than half of Muslim-Americans in a new poll say government antiterrorism policies single them out for increased surveillance and monitoring, and many report increased cases of name-calling, threats, and harassment by airport security, law enforcement officers and others.
Still, most Muslim-Americans say they are satisfied with life in the United States and rate their communities highly.
The survey by the Pew Research Center, one of the most exhaustive of the country’s Muslims, finds no signs of rising alienation or anger among Muslim-Americans despite recent US government concerns about homegrown Islamic terrorism and controversy over the building of mosques.
