Learning About Muslim Americans

In much the same way Japanese Americans suffered through prejudice after Pearl Harbor, several Muslims have experienced harassment due to incidents like the Fort Hood shootings and the recent mosque controversy.  I decided to do some research and learn more about the Muslim American community.

Ever since the Fort Hood shootings, I've been reading a lot about the rise hostile incidents that Muslim Americans have gone through. In much the same way Japanese Americans suffered through prejudice after Pearl Harbor, several Muslims have experienced harassment or dirty stares from people around them. I've heard conversations where people suggest that the military place special restrictions on Muslims serving in the military.
