- 2000: 48 Hate crimes Anti-Islamic
- 2001: 481+ Hate crimes anti-Islamic
- Every year after 2001 the hate crimes increased by 100 annually
- Clinical psychologist Hisham Abu-Raiya of Tel Aviv University conducted extensive research on the aftereffects of 9/11 on American Muslims. Of those he surveyed, he found that a majority experienced negative events, such as verbal harassment and increased airport security checks.
- There has been a terrible wave of racist violence and job firings directed against Arabs.
Due to how strict and insecure the government was the racial profiling increased tremendously over the years after 9/11 due to paranoia and fright. The government wanted to make sure there was no chance terrorism ever again which lead to violating innocent Arab- Americans, Muslims, and Immigrants privacy.
