Equal Protection

After the terrorist attacks of 9-11 the Muslim community has had a hard time with law enforcers. They where targeted and see as guilty by affiliation so they where extremely singled out. This is a problem in the United States right now because they are still being singled out just because of their beliefs. This falls in to equal protection because the Muslim community is being target more by law enforcements only for their religious views. The Muslim community feel that they are the “bogie man” to divert people away from the real issues that are going on that are much more important, they fell condemned for acts of only a few people. They feel that it has become normal to fear them and drought them because of what had happened. Some Muslim people feel proud of who they are and what they believe in now matter what they say. A young male said that it is more of an opportunity to prove themselves to the world that they are not evil.

In the past and now they have been targeted as evil and wrong doers by the law enforcement; because of this there are being denied their rights to their freedom of religion because they are being targeted for it.
