The negative trend was clearly reflected through intensive media campaigns and public discourses against Islam; through the growing intolerant attitudes against Muslims ; through a significant number of incidents occurring sporadically against individuals, mosques, Islamic centers, and attires; as well as through wide-spread insults targeting the Holy Qur’an and sacred symbols of Islam.   The United States is not anymore a very safe place to live for Muslims since more and more American non-Muslims feels anxious and fearful with Muslims’ presence .
