[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This past year has been tough.  My step kids and my son, ages ranging from 8 up to 22, have all been harrassed pretty frequently.  The worst was my step daughter's getting called ISIS[b] bridge [/b]at a Fairfax County high school.  My son is told he's a terrorist and he better not bomb up the whole place.

It seems as if not a week goes by that I don't hear about a violent attack on a Muslim, or someone perceived to be a Muslim.  The woman set on fire, the Imam shot and killed walking down the street, the 82 year old Sikh man beaten because they thought he was a Muslim, a little six year old  Muslim boy beaten severely on the bus.    So many.

Anti-Muslim violence and harassment has tripled in the past year.   No, it doesn't match crimes against LGBT folks, which I think just overtook hate crimes against Jews,  but the significant increase in such a short amount of time is scary.

I have several Latina Muslim friends, too.   From Texas.    They feel the double whammy.  [/quote]
