New York, December 10 (RHC)-- Muslim Americans continue to report risings acts of Islamophobia in the aftermath of the Paris and San Bernardino attacks and increased anti-Muslim sentiment on the campaign trail.

A Muslim store owner in Queens, New York, said he was beaten by an attacker who reportedly said: "I kill Muslims." Other incidents include racist hate speech directed at two Muslim women in an Austin, Texas café, and a group of boys punching a Muslim girl in New York and pulling on her hijab.

At a rally on Wednesday against Donald Trump’s call to ban Muslims from entering the United States, Khalid Latif of the Islamic Center at New York University said anti-Muslim racism today could be even worse than after 9/11.
