“…(2013), prejudicial perceptions of Muslims are based on cues of foreignness (name and dress) rather than phenotype (complexion). Numerous incidents with practicing Muslims being suspended from flights, apprehended at airports or harassed in workplaces have been reported in the media and taken to courts (Freeland, 2001). Given that mere perceptions of Muslim identity might result in prejudice toward Muslims (Brown et al.…”

PurposeThe study examines the effects of religious identity, practices and beliefs on Muslim Americans' perceptions of discrimination and the extent to which religion might shape the perception of discrimination differently within Muslim race/ethnic groups.Design/methodology/approachStudy data were obtained from the 2011 Pew Survey (N = 1,033), a nationally representative sample of Muslim adults 18 years old and older living in the United States. The sample weights with the exclusion of non-response cases were used for bivariate analyses. For multivariate analyses, multiple imputation procedures were employed to impute missing values on all variables.FindingsMuslim Americans with high levels of religious practices are more likely and Muslim Americans with strong belief in religious tenets are less likely to report experiencing different forms of discrimination. Black, Asian and other/mixed race Muslims with high levels of religious practices report higher rates of discrimination than their white coreligionists. Within group comparison shows that the pure extrinsic group reports higher rates of perceived discrimination than the pro-religious, pure intrinsic and non-religious groups.Originality/valueThe study emphasizes varying effects of religious factors on different Muslim American groups in perceived discrimination and suggests researchers challenge a common perception of viewing religion as a “master status” for the Muslim identity.

“…The widespread discrimination in governmental entities against Muslims (i.e., Islamophobia) [5,48,63] and, in return, their lack of trust in the system was echoed by our advocates, survivors, and imams alike. Islamophobia is described as a fear, prejudice, or intolerance towards Islam or Muslims, "characterised by suspicion, deep-rooted prejudice, ignorance, and, in some cases, physical and verbal harassment" [11].…”

While domestic violence (DV) is prevalent in all socioeconomic settings, identity highly impacts how one experiences and recovers from abuse. This work examines US-based Muslim women's challenges when seeking help and healing from domestic violence. Through participatory interviews with 23 participants within the DV ecosystem, we find that victim-survivors' autonomy is compromised throughout the abuse, within their immediate communities, and when involving the criminal justice system. To address such harms, we adapt a survivor-centered transformative justice (SCTJ) approach, a framework to discern individual and systemic harm, to understand how to design alongside victim-survivors, and to focus on victim-survivors' autonomy. We explain under what conditions an SCTJ approach may be productive for designers. We use insights from our interviews to highlight intervention areas for reducing harm, repairing harm, and promoting healing for victim-survivors. Lastly, we offer guidelines to design for harm reduction, accountability, and systemic change.CCS Concepts: • Human-centered computing → Empirical studies in HCI .

“…Like African–Americans (Massey and Denton 1988a), certain Canadian minority groups also experience discrimination in the housing market (Fong and Gulia 1996; Fong and Wilkes 1999; Henry 1994; Hou 2006). Such discrimination against Muslims, for example, has been documented even before the terrorist attack in 2001 (Bozorgmehr 2000; Freeland 2001). Furthermore, for some Muslims, distinctive clothing makes them an easy target for discrimination.…”

This study, based on 2001 Canadian census data for 16 census metropolitan areas, explores residential segregation among eight religious groups. We include nonChristian religious groups to reflect the emerging religious diversity of Canadian society. Our study provides the first comprehensive comparison of the residential patterns of people affiliated with major religious groups in Canada. We argue that each religion is associated with unique sets of religious institutional behaviors, which in turn shape each religious group's relationships with other religious groups. In this study, we identify four religious institutional behaviors that can affect the residential segregation of various religious groups: institutional orientation of religious community services, subcultural identity, religious identity, and discrimination. The findings indicate that these religious institutional behaviors are related to the residential segregation patterns of different religious groups.
