Rabia Chaudry kept her 7-year-old daughter home from her private Islamic school in Maryland on Thursday, fearing anti-Muslim backlash from Wednesday’s massacre nearly 3,000 miles away in San Bernardino, Calif.
“I think we are all feeling exhausted and very vulnerable,†said Chaudry, a lawyer and national security fellow at the New America Foundation. “I’m angry at those people who did this attack. And I’m angry at how this is being politicized. Everything boils down to, ‘We should fear Muslims. And they shouldn’t be here.’ â€
American Muslims say they are living through an intensely painful moment and feel growing anti-Muslim sentiment after the recent Islamic State attacks in Paris and this week’s San Bernardino shootings, carried out by a Muslim husband and wife.
The motivations of the California killers are still unclear, although authorities are investigating it as a potential act of terrorism. Muslims said they are bracing for an even more toxic climate in which Americans are increasingly suspicious of Muslims.

Perhaps they'd like a pre-paid ticket home?
BACKLASH.
It’s about a day or two after, but they ALWAYS run these stories.
Forget about the murdered people, what about how bad America is!
Boo F**king Hoo.
Well since they won’t take out their trash we’ll have to do it.
Islam is evil and needs to be eradicated.
Oh No! Nasty looks!
That’s so much worse than being gunned down at a party!
Whatever shall we do?
TS-Leave Islam...because you’re supporting everyone of these rotten bas***** and bi***** and you share in their guilt.
Well it was bound to happen.
Not as much “backlash” as the people in the Paris nightclub or San Bernadino Christmas party felt.
I’d be happy to pitch in.
Murder us, but they’re SCARED:
Perps, but VICTIMS at the same time.
Nice majic, there, eh?
Ditto.
One day. Not even one f’n day and they’re pulling this crap.
A majority of Muslims, now living here, are all for Sharia law and never come out to condemn the TERRORIST. If they don't like it, that we don't like it, then they should leave!
intense backlash would be getting your head cut off
Is it anything like the backlash that Dingy Hairy Reid and Barack Obama just gave the GOP, the anti-abortion video makers, and Rush Limbaugh???
Oh poor loafs..well here’s an idea..GET THE HECK OUT AND STOP KILLING OUR PEOPLE..I bet these people who were interviewed were passing out candy after 9/11
so how many were denouncing this latest attack?
