Late last year, after ISIS terrorists killed 130 people in Paris, the Detroit suburb of Dearborn was on high alert. The incident and then the subsequent attack in San Bernardino, California contributed to the rise of Islamophobia across the United States, and residents of the city with the largest concentration of Muslim and Arab Americans in the country knew they would be a target.
It’s been five months since the Paris attacks, but the situation has not improved. The rise of Donald Trump has meant that Muslim Americans in Dearborn continue to live on edge, afraid of what the continued extremist rhetoric may mean for them.
