This project uses maps to provide data in a way that empowers viewers to develop their own understanding of Islamophobia in the United States, how American Muslims seek to counter Islamophobia, and how anti-Muslim hate effects the nature of those efforts. The maps present carefully curated information about the nature of events and incidents that Islamophobia inspires, when and where they have taken place across the United States, the people who have fallen victim to them, and the ways in which American Muslims have responded to anti-Muslim hate.
This web site offers minimal analysis of the information presented. These maps as produced as tools to help you reach your own conclusions about how Islamophobia affects American Muslims, American Muslim communities, and our broader American national community. Each of the interactive maps on this site include sources so that you can explore the stories behind the data.
While the mapping its self is original, it is done poorly due to manually inserting the data resulting in selection bias. This website should be using auto inserting for their data. The information provided is presented in a clear and transparent way on how the contributors got the information used. The mapping system used on this project is CARTO.
