American and Muslim

With anti-Islamic sentiment on the rise in America, Assignment asks what it is like to be a young American muslim in America and explores what is being done to stop them becoming alienated.

America's Muslim minority is coming under considerable pressure these days.

They are experiencing attacks, verbal and at times physical, on their mosques and on the Koran, and from politicians using anti-Islamic sentiment in their election campaigns.

For Assignment, Claire Bolderson asks what's it like to be a young American Muslim in the midst of all of this? And what kind of influence do Muslim community leaders and government officials have with this generation.
