How ISIS Increased Islamophobia

The spread of ISIS's popularity caused an increase of islamophobia to drastically occur. As more terrorist attacks were claimed by ISIS, people began to assume any Muslim is associated or connected to ISIS's beliefs.


People started to become bias and cruel towards innocent Muslims. The New York Times reported, "The F.B.I. cataloged a total of 5,818 hate crimes in 2015." Innocent people are paying the price for actions they didn't do.


The majority of ISIS's attacks are against the Muslim population not other cultural groups. Yet according to the website The Guardian  "In the US, a recent survey discovered that 38% of Americans would refuse to vote for a “well qualified” Muslim candidate for US president." 


The more ISIS tries to spread their cruel message, the more innocent people get hurt along the way.
