Islamophobia Upsurge in US Following Paris Attacks

Alwaght | News & Analysis Website

Alwaght- A leading Muslim civil rights and advocacy organization in the US has urged the country’s political and religious leaders to repudiate Islamophobia in the wake of a spike in anti-Muslim incidents following the Paris terror attacks.
The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) Communications Director Ibrahim Hooper issued a statement on Tuesday noting that, “The mainstreaming of Islamophobia by a number of our nation’s political and religious leaders has encouraged the latest hate-filled actions of anti-Muslim bigots.”
“Now is the time for those leaders who are concerned about traditional American values of religious inclusion and tolerance to speak out against Islamophobia and anti-Muslim hate crime,” he added.
In that alert, CAIR cited anti-Muslim incidents reported since the Paris attacks, including terror threats to Florida mosques, vandalism at a Nebraska mosque, shots fired at a Florida Muslim family’s home, hate graffiti targeting a Connecticut Muslim student, an arson attack on a Canadian mosque, a tweet threatening Michigan Muslims, and innumerable hate messages sent online and by phone.
Since that alert was issued, CAIR received reports about shots fired at a Connecticut mosque, the police shooting of an Oklahoma man after he threatened to kill Muslims, an assault on a North Carolina Uber driver after he was asked whether he is Muslim, an assault on a Canadian Muslim mother, and the removal of ‘Middle Eastern’ passengers from flight because the crew felt “uncomfortable.”

ISIS attacks aimed at spiking Islamophobia

Meanwhile Iranian President Hassan Rouhani says that the latest terrorist attacks carried out by ISIS terrorist group are aimed at creating a wave of Islamophobia around the world.
Rouhani made the remarks while attending a meeting of Iran’s Supreme Council of the Cultural Revolution in Tehran on Tuesday.
“Islam is the religion of mercy and peace," Rouhani said, adding that it should not be permitted that such terrorist attacks, "especially in Europe and the United States where many Muslims live," promote Islamophobia.
He noted that Iran condemns terrorist activities in all its forms, and called for global unity and determination to counter such terrorist acts, which claim the lives of innocent women, children, and civilians.
The Iranian president also stressed the importance of identifying the sources from which ISIS terrorists receive funding and resources to carry out their attacks.
During the deadly Paris attacks on Friday night, over 132 people were killed and 350 others injured.
