220 Anti-Muslim Incidents Reported in Maryland since October 9

IQNA – Some 220 complaints of anti-Muslim bias incidents have been received by a Muslim advocacy group in the US state of Maryland since October 9.

The Maryland office of the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) received the reports.

The office released its Islamophobia report on Friday, December 15.

It said 32 percent of the anti-Muslim incidents happened in schools and 13 percent of them were workplace related.

This incident comes as Muslims, Arabs, and Palestinians across the United States report a surge in anti-Muslim and anti-Arab hate since the escalation of violence in Palestine and the Israeli launch of its attacks on the Gaza Strip.

Recently, CAIR released new data indicating a 216% surge in complaints, including incidents of bias, reported to its offices since the start of the Gaza war on October 7.
