US: Incidents of hatred and racism increased after 9/11 attacks, MPs introduced resolution to condemn
US: The attacks were carried out by terrorists on September 11, 2001, commonly known as 9/11. More than three thousand people were killed in this attack. Since then, Arab, Muslim, South Asian, and Sikh communities have been experiencing discrimination in America for a long time.
A group of lawmakers, including Indian-American Congresswoman Pramila Jayapal, has introduced a resolution to condemn hatred, xenophobia, and racism against Arab, Muslim, South Asian, Sikh, and Middle Eastern communities following the 9/11 terrorist attacks.
The attacks were carried out by terrorists on September 11, 2001, commonly known as 9/11. More than three thousand people were killed in this attack. Ahead of the 22nd anniversary of one of the deadliest terrorist attacks in US history on September 9, recommendations have been put forward to support victims of racism that has emerged since the attack.
Arab, Muslim, Middle Eastern, South Asian, and Sikh communities have long experienced discrimination and violence in the US, which has intensified after the attacks. The situation worsened after the attack. In less than a month, community organizations have reported 945 hate incidents against Americans perceived to be of Middle Eastern or South Asian origin. The hate-filled environment led to bullying and violence in their everyday lives and in their workplaces, businesses, community centers, and houses of worship.
