Muslims in U.S. still living under Islamophobia decades after 9/11: U.S. experts

CAIRO, Sept. 14 (Xinhua) -- As 21 years have passed after the 9/11 terrorist attacks, the Muslim community in the United States is still suffering from continuous hate, bullying, discrimination and violence against them, U.S. experts said.

The 9/11 attacks ushered in a new era of hate crimes, racism, and xenophobia against Muslims, reported the Al-Jazeera English-language news channel on the 21st anniversary of the attacks, adding that hate crimes against Muslims in the United States skyrocketed immediately after September 11, 2001, and are still on an upward trend.
