1. California
California tops the list of most racist states towards Muslims, with over 20% of the hate crimes against Muslims in America occurring in the state. Things have gotten so bad that recently, the California State Assembly passed a resolution to declare August 2016 to be “Muslim Appreciation and Awareness month” in an effort to promote the contributions of Muslims and combat Islamophobia as well. Maybe this will actually make a difference, even though California is another state where mosques regularly receive threatening letters which promote Muslims genocide. It is unfortunate to learn about the depths to which the American people have fallen through, on the other hand, Muslims need to be more proactive in promoting Islam as the religion of peace as well.
