Muslim immigrants in the United States face negative views from the public, but they continue to believe in the American Dream and are proud to be both American and Muslim
. The Muslim population in the U.S. is growing and highly diverse, made up largely of immigrants and the children of immigrants from all across the world, and as a group, Muslims are younger and more racially diverse than the general population
. Despite efforts by some groups to quell this population, Muslims have continued to grow and thrive in the U.S. and have slowly gained representation in the government, in U.S. television, and a presence in the public sphere across the country
. However, Muslims in the U.S. face discrimination and Islamophobia, which can negatively affect their physical and mental health
. Therefore, it is important to combat discrimination and Islamophobia and to work towards creating a more inclusive society that values diversity and promotes equality.
