Anti-muslim sentiment is not new and unique to Trump’s administration.However, @NazitaLajevardi's book with @CambridgeUP, shows that discrimination against Muslims grew "since 2016 – in no small part due to targeted attacks by policymakers and the media." http://www.nazitalajevardi.com/books 

By interviewing Muslim journalists, political candidates, activists, and data analysis, we’ve seen that #MuslimBan is linked to anti-refugees sentiment; this further highlights the @JoeBiden administration role in repairing racist immigration policies. https://www.iftf.org/fileadmin/user_upload/downloads/ourwork/IFTF_Anti-Muslim_comp.prop_W_05.07.19.pdf

W/ @samuelwoolley & @_NickMonaco, in "Incubating Hate: Islamophobia and Gab" published by @gmfus, we show how content against Muslims moves readily between social media platforms (mainstream or fringe). We highlight the need for cross-platform analysis. https://www.gmfus.org/sites/default/files/publications/pdf/Incubating%20Hate%20-%20Islamophobia%20and%20Gab.pdf
