Nicole was walking through an affluent part of Alexandria, Virginia, with a friend last month, when a man approached her and began screaming.Video above: Antisemitism, Islamophobia probe: Universities under fireHe railed about the hijab she wore, saying she looked Muslim, and made comments about Hamas raping Israeli women, she said. Her friend corroborated the account.It was just days after the start of the Israel-Hamas war and the encounter left Nicole feeling rattled, worried and frightened. So much so, that she asked CNN to use only her first name, out of fear for her family바카라 게임 웹사이트�s safety.바카라 게임 웹사이트�I haven바카라 게임 웹사이트�t stopped wearing hijab. I didn바카라 게임 웹사이트�t after 9/11 either,바카라 게임 웹사이트� she told CNN. 바카라 게임 웹사이트�If I have one more person scream at me in public and certainly if someone were to threaten me, I think all bets are off.바카라 게임 웹사이트�Nicole, who is in her 40s, said she바카라 게임 웹사이트�s been wearing a hijab for more than half of her life. And while she바카라 게임 웹사이트�s grown used to stares and occasional comments about her headscarf, Nicole said she fears the growing anti-Muslim sentiment in the U.S. could escalate into violence.The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) said the U.S. is experiencing an 바카라 게임 웹사이트�unprecedented바카라 게임 웹사이트� increase in reported anti-Arab and anti-Muslim bias incidents in the weeks since the Oct. 7 Hamas attack on Israel.A week after the Hamas attack, a 6-year-old Palestinian American boy was stabbed to death outside of Chicago. His family바카라 게임 웹사이트�s landlord was charged in what police are calling a hate crime. He바카라 게임 웹사이트�s pleaded not guilty to charges including murder.A Muslim postal worker was attacked while wearing a hijab, and many Muslim, Arab, and Palestinian Americans leaders have told CNN they are experiencing post-9/11 levels Islamophobia 바카라 게임 웹사이트� or worse. They바카라 게임 웹사이트�ve called on the Biden administration to do more to combat anti-Muslim and anti-Arab bias.CNN recently asked Arabs, Muslims and Jews in America how they are facing the new reality of hate-motivated attacks against their communities. Nearly 800 people responded from across the country.Some, citing safety concerns, are changing how they go about their daily lives. Others have become defiant and more vocal about their identity. These are their stories.He바카라 게임 웹사이트�s tired of hiding to stay safeAlthough Abdallah Jwayyed has been a registered gun owner for years, he said his gun remained locked away in a safe 바카라 게임 웹사이트� until now.As reports of anti-Muslim and anti-Arab attacks rose across the country, Jwayyed said he began carrying his concealed weapon when he goes out around his Cleveland, Ohio, home and when he바카라 게임 웹사이트�s shopping with his wife.He바카라 게임 웹사이트�s also removed the Palestinian flag hanging from his rear-view mirror and peeled the Allah bumper stickers off his car. He doesn바카라 게임 웹사이트�t want anyone to slash his tires or break his windows, he said.The Palestinian American is proud of his heritage, but he said he is doing everything he can to protect his wife and three children.바카라 게임 웹사이트�We바카라 게임 웹사이트�re tired of having to hide the fact that we바카라 게임 웹사이트�re Muslim or to hide the fact that we바카라 게임 웹사이트�re Palestinian,바카라 게임 웹사이트� Jwayyed said. 바카라 게임 웹사이트�We have to hide who we are to live safely in America.바카라 게임 웹사이트�As a father, Jwayyed said he was crushed by the news that a 6-year-old boy was stabbed to death near Chicago. Officials have said Wadea Al-Fayoume was killed because he was Muslim.바카라 게임 웹사이트�I have a 7-year-old son, I have a 5-year-old and a 3-year-old daughter. Of course, that affects me,바카라 게임 웹사이트� Jwayyed said. 바카라 게임 웹사이트�As a parent, it scares me.바카라 게임 웹사이트�Since the war, the 34-year-old said he has stopped taking his children on weekly excursions to the movies and local parks. Now, Jwayyed said they only go to school or to a relative바카라 게임 웹사이트�s house.바카라 게임 웹사이트�Baba, why don바카라 게임 웹사이트�t you take us out this week?바카라 게임 웹사이트� he said his children have asked.바카라 게임 웹사이트�I don바카라 게임 웹사이트�t want to tell them, 바카라 게임 웹사이트�I fear for your life. It바카라 게임 웹사이트�s dangerous outside,바카라 게임 웹사이트�바카라 게임 웹사이트� Jwayyed said. 바카라 게임 웹사이트�They don바카라 게임 웹사이트�t need to know that.바카라 게임 웹사이트�Jwayyed lives in the Little Arabia neighborhood, which is full of Middle Eastern stores and restaurants, but he said he is no longer shopping at stores that carry Israeli products, like his wife바카라 게임 웹사이트�s favorite brand of chips. Instead, he said, the family agreed to stop buying the snacks after the war started and now they only shop at an Arab grocery store.바카라 게임 웹사이트�Anything Israeli made, I will boycott it,바카라 게임 웹사이트� Jwayyed said. 바카라 게임 웹사이트�And not just any Israeli company, any company that바카라 게임 웹사이트�s sympathizing with Israel will not get my money.바카라 게임 웹사이트�She바카라 게임 웹사이트�s second guessing every moveSince Oct. 7, Mona said daily activities she used to enjoy have become anxiety-inducing. She바카라 게임 웹사이트�s now limiting her trips to the grocery store, taking her kids to the park and driving alone out of fear of being targeted for being a Muslim woman who wears a hijab and dresses modestly.바카라 게임 웹사이트�As a visibly Muslim woman, I바카라 게임 웹사이트�m fearful that I will be targeted,바카라 게임 웹사이트� she said. 바카라 게임 웹사이트�Every move I make, I second guess it.바카라 게임 웹사이트�Mona, who is in her 30s, asked CNN not to use her last name out of fear for her family바카라 게임 웹사이트�s safety.She said she traces her fear and anxiety to the outset of the war and the spike in hate crimes against the Muslim community. As a health care worker near Houston, Texas, she said she was especially heartbroken over the Oct. 28 fatal stabbing of Houston-area Muslim pediatrician Dr. Talat Jehan Khan.While local police have said they have not yet found evidence linking Khan바카라 게임 웹사이트�s death to a hate crime, Mona said the attack on Khan has left her shaken.바카라 게임 웹사이트�That also makes you think, 바카라 게임 웹사이트�What, am I going to be next?바카라 게임 웹사이트�바카라 게임 웹사이트�She is avoiding social gatherings and meeting in public with her friends who are also visibly Muslim, so they are 바카라 게임 웹사이트�not a target collectively.바카라 게임 웹사이트� She바카라 게임 웹사이트�s also not publicly showing empathy and solidarity toward Gaza, out of concern, she said, of being targeted or attacked.Instead, Mona now wears a necklace in the shape of the Palestinian territory underneath her clothing 바카라 게임 웹사이트� close to her heart 바카라 게임 웹사이트� in quiet solidarity.She vows to be more vigilantYasmeen Abou-Sayed said she refuses to change the way she lives.Instead, since the war began, she said she바카라 게임 웹사이트�s become more civically engaged and has been calling out anti-Muslim and anti-Arab sentiment when she sees it.When her children바카라 게임 웹사이트�s school district posted a statement condemning antisemitism but neglected to mention Islamophobia, the 41-year-old from suburban Washington, D.C., and other parents reached out to the superintendent and the board of education.She asked us not to name the school district out of fear for the safety of her children, who have a different last name.바카라 게임 웹사이트�Being an afterthought 바카라 게임 웹사이트� we had to, as parents, mobilize, reach out to the superintendent and the board of education and point out that their statement completely excluded the experiences of our Muslim and Arab students in the schools,바카라 게임 웹사이트� Abou-Sayed said.The next day, the superintendent posted an updated statement acknowledging that Islamophobia should also have been included, according to two statements reviewed by CNN.바카라 게임 웹사이트�I will always advocate for myself. I will always advocate for my kids,바카라 게임 웹사이트� Abou-Sayed said. 바카라 게임 웹사이트�But it바카라 게임 웹사이트�s just kind of tiring that you always have to take those extra steps to be seen.바카라 게임 웹사이트�While anti-Muslim sentiment is nothing new in America, Abou-Sayed said her perspective has shifted since the war began. She said she will now talk to her sons about how some people might view them as they become Muslim men.바카라 게임 웹사이트�I never thought about preparing them a little bit more for how the world is going to treat them until now,바카라 게임 웹사이트� she said.바카라 게임 웹사이트�I do wear hijab,바카라 게임 웹사이트� she said. 바카라 게임 웹사이트�I won바카라 게임 웹사이트�t change the way I live my life because the second you compromise your own values and principles, what are you living for?바카라 게임 웹사이트�Abou-Sayed said she remains proud and unwavering about her identity.바카라 게임 웹사이트�I will continue in my day-to-day activities, taking my kids to soccer and their clubs at school and doing the things that we do,바카라 게임 웹사이트� Abou-Sayed said. 바카라 게임 웹사이트�We바카라 게임 웹사이트�re not going to change our lives because of this, but I will be more vigilant.바카라 게임 웹사이트�
