It’s 9/11 again, fourteen years since the attacks on the Twin Towers, for which Muslims are still blamed. Many people who suffer from Islamophobia, don’t know what kind of effect blaming random Muslims for something they didn’t do has. On Twitter, Muslims started the hashtag #afterseptember11, they talk about the consequences they had to deal with after this day. So we made a list of tweets from Muslims who had to deal with this kind of situations.

#afterseptember11 Islamophobia caused every Muslim in the US to be identified w/ terrorism, brutally targeted in hate crimes, and alienated.
