Myanmar Rohingya Persecution — Genocide Emergency
The Rohingya, a Muslim minority in Myanmar's Rakhine State, have faced decades of persecution culminating in what the UN, ICJ, and Genocide Watch have classified as genocide. In August 2017, Myanmar's military launched a massive crackdown that drove over 740,000 Rohingya to Bangladesh, with at least 6,700 killed in the first month. Since 2023, the Arakan Army has launched its own offensive in Rakhine, subjecting Rohingya to forced recruitment, village burning, and massacres — including the August 2024 Naf River Massacre that killed over 200 civilians. Over 2,500 Rohingya have been killed and 150,000+ displaced since the AA seized control. The ICJ opened landmark merits hearings in the genocide case in January 2026.
India Anti-Muslim Mob Lynchings and Cow Vigilantism
Since 2014, India has experienced a systematic pattern of mob lynchings and cow vigilante violence targeting Muslims. According to Reuters, 97% of all cow-related attacks occurred after the BJP/Modi government took power. Human Rights Watch documented at least 44 killed (36 Muslim) and 280 injured in over 100 incidents by 2019 alone. Victims include dairy farmers, cattle traders, ragpickers, teenagers, and a 7-year-old child. Despite a 2018 Supreme Court order mandating anti-lynching measures, the violence has continued with impunity — perpetrators are acquitted, garlanded by ministers, and granted bail. In 2025, the SAJC documented at least 50 extrajudicial killings of Muslims.
Minnesota Mosque Attack Wave
Minnesota leads the nation in incidents targeting mosques, with 44 documented attacks over three years causing over $3 million in damages. The pattern began with the 2017 bombing of Dar Al-Farooq Islamic Center by the 'White Rabbits' militia (ringleader sentenced to 53 years). Since then, mosques across the Twin Cities and greater Minnesota have faced repeated arsons, break-ins, vehicular attacks, and vandalism — including fires set while children were inside, an imam assaulted walking to prayers, and a CAIR director deliberately hit by a car. In 2025 alone, four mosques were targeted including a devastating fire that destroyed a mosque and Islamic school in Prior Lake.
Sharia-Free America Congressional Caucus
The Sharia-Free America Congressional Caucus, co-founded by Reps. Chip Roy and Keith Self in December 2025, grew from 2 to 55 members in just three months — nearly a quarter of the House Republican conference. Members have posted openly anti-Muslim statements including 'Muslims don't belong in American society' (Rep. Andy Ogles), 'We need more Islamophobia, not less' (Rep. Randy Fine), and 'No more Muslims immigrating to America' (Rep. Brandon Gill). Fine also posted 'the choice between dogs and Muslims is not a difficult one.' CAIR designated the caucus an anti-Muslim hate group — the first time in its 32-year history it designated a congressional caucus as extremist. House Republican leadership has taken no disciplinary action.
China Uyghur Genocide — Ongoing Persecution
Since 2017, China has detained over one million Uyghur Muslims in a network of internment camps across Xinjiang in what the US, multiple parliaments, and Genocide Watch have declared a genocide. Documented abuses include mass arbitrary detention, forced sterilization, torture, forced labor, cultural erasure, and the systematic destruction of mosques and religious sites. The UN OHCHR found the abuses 'may constitute crimes against humanity.' Despite international condemnation, China continues to deny all allegations. In 2025, Thailand forcibly deported 40 Uyghurs back to China, and Genocide Watch declared a Genocide Emergency for Xinjiang.
Gracie Mansion Anti-Muslim Protest & Bombing
In March 2026, a 'Stop the Islamic Takeover of New York City' protest organized by far-right activist Jake Lang outside Gracie Mansion — the residence of NYC's first Muslim mayor, Zohran Mamdani — escalated into an ISIS-inspired bombing attempt. Two Pennsylvania men, Emir Balat (18) and Ibrahim Kayumi (19), deployed TATP-filled IEDs packed with nuts and bolts as shrapnel. Neither device detonated. The FBI investigated the attack as ISIS-inspired terrorism. Balat reportedly pledged allegiance to ISIS in writing and told investigators he wanted an attack 'bigger than the Boston Marathon bombing.' Both were charged with five federal counts including material support for ISIS and use of a weapon of mass destruction.
EPIC City Dallas Anti-Muslim Campaign
A coordinated campaign by Texas state officials against EPIC City, a proposed 402-acre master-planned residential community initiated by the East Plano Islamic Center (EPIC) near Josephine in Collin County, Texas. Governor Greg Abbott directed Texas Rangers to open a criminal investigation and signed HB 4211 targeting the project. Attorney General Ken Paxton filed lawsuits alleging securities fraud, despite the Texas State Securities Board finding no violations. The DOJ opened and closed an investigation within one month, finding no basis to continue. Civil rights organizations have condemned the actions as religious discrimination against Muslim Americans.
