The attacks are part of a long history of Islamophobia in American politics, which has become especially acute since 2001, when the Sept. 11 attacks took place, said Corey Saylor, the research and advocacy director at the Council on American-Islamic Relations.
He pointed to past controversies like the proposed Park 51 community center and mosque in Lower Manhattan, which opponents rebranded “The Ground Zero Mosque.”
The project became a staple of conservative news media and a lightning rod in the 2010 midterm elections, when “the same kind of vile anti-Muslim commentary become part of a mainstream conversation,” said Mr. Saylor. It was eventually abandoned.
“What we are seeing now exactly parallels episodes we have seen over the last two decades,” said Mr. Saylor. “There is extremely normalized hatred of a minority, in this case Muslims.”
