Fears Rise Over Growing Anti-Muslim Feeling in U.S.

NEW YORK (Reuters) - Amid threats of Koran burning and a heated dispute over a planned Muslim cultural center in New York, Muslim leaders and rights activists warn of growing anti-Muslim feeling in America partly provoked for political reasons.

"Many people now treat Muslims as 'the other' -- as something to vilify and to discriminate against," said Daniel Mach of the American Civil Liberties Union.


And, he said, some people have exploited that fear in the media, "for political gain or cheap notoriety."


The imam leading the project to build the cultural center, including a prayer room, near the site of the September 11, 2001 attacks said there was a rise of what he called "Islamophobia" and the debate had been radicalized by extremists.


"The radicals in the United States and the radicals in the Muslim world, feed off each other. And to a certain extent, the attention that they've been able to get by the media has even aggravated the problem," Imam Feisal Abdul Rauf in an interview with ABC news aired on Sunday.


Rauf said he wanted to correct a misperception that Muslimsin the United States were under pressure and could not practice their religion freely.


"It is not the truth at all. The fact is, we are practicing. We fast, we pray, we do our prayers. ... The laws protect us. Our political systems protect us. And we enjoy those freedoms in this country. And the Muslim world needs to recognize that" he said.
