Research Notes: Use the following pages to help you organize your research notes for our #PassionateScholars Project.  Your goal over the next few days is to complete research for your topic.  You will need to visit several websites, view videos, etc. Part of your research will entail you interviewing an expert in your chosen field. I hope to check in with you all to see how I can help with that.

  • Over the past 10 years, American Muslims have fought not just the hate and stereotypes and the profiling from those outside the community, we've also had major fights within the Muslim community. As a friend described it, 9/11 pushed many Muslims to "come out" as liberals or progressives. For too long, huge, conservative national organisations claimed to speak for all of us but there is a much greater diversity of American Muslim voices now and that benefits everyone. Conservative does not equal authentic.”

  • “Before 9/11, some Muslims lived quiet, uneventful suburban lives; the dentists and the accountants and the attorneys. 9/11 robbed them of that boring existence. But in struggling to become boring again, American Muslims have over the past 10 years made our community here the most vibrant of any Muslim community in the world, Tea Party and Bush legacy be damned!”

  • “Let's draw the curtain on 9/11 anniversaries after this 10th one. Every year on 11 September you can taste the grief in NYC. The wound will never heal if every year we scratch the scar off and open the way to hate and prejudice.”

  •  “9/11 changed everything and 9/11 changed nothing at all. America – I'm not going anywhere.”

A decade after Sept. 11, 2001, the survey, conducted by the Pew Research Center for the People and the Press, shows that a majority of Muslims say the terrorist attacks made it more difficult to be a Muslim in the United States. Many said that they had been singled out by airport security officers and that people had acted suspicious of them or called them offensive names.But half also said Americans had been friendly toward them, and three-quarters expressed faith that with hard work, they could get ahead.”

B

And today, alarmingly, only 27 percent of Americans have a favorable view of Muslim Americans”
