Abstract

While the migration of the Muslim in the U.S. dates back to the late 1800s and they have been active members of society for decades, the presence of Muslims in the U.S. has recently come under focus and discussion. The U.S. is a nation that has historically struggled with treating all its citizens equally and has been in the frontlines of eliminating these inequalities. As a result of 9/11 terrorist attacks on the U.S., there has been a systematic and troubling trend of violations of citizenship rights of American Muslims in general. This paper examines these violations before and after 9/11 from a historical perspective. For this purpose, Chicago, as the home of one of the largest Muslim communities in the country, is used to document and conduct this analysis. The paper also discusses the implications of these issues in terms of citizenship, race, and ethnicity.

公民身份问题:911事件前后的芝加哥穆斯林

虽然穆斯林在美国的移民可以追溯到19世纪晚期，并且几十年来一直是社会的活跃成员，但穆斯林在美国的存在最近才成为关注和讨论的焦点。美国是一个历史上一直努力平等对待所有公民的国家，并一直走在消除这些不平等的前沿。由于9/11恐怖袭击对美国的影响，美国穆斯林的公民权总体上出现了系统性和令人不安的侵犯趋势。本文从历史的角度考察了9/11事件前后的这些违法行为。为此，芝加哥作为美国最大的穆斯林社区之一，被用来记录和进行这项分析。本文还讨论了这些问题在公民身份、种族和民族方面的影响。

期刊介绍： Muslim World Journal of Human Rights promises to serve as a forum in which barriers are bridged (or at least, addressed), and human rights are finally discussed with an eye on the Muslim world, in an open and creative manner. The choice to name the journal, Muslim World Journal of Human Rights reflects a desire to examine human rights issues related not only to Islam and Islamic law, but equally those human rights issues found in Muslim societies that stem from various other sources such as socio-economic and political factors, as well the interaction and intersections of the two areas. MWJHR welcomes submissions that apply the traditional human right framework in their analysis as well as those that transcend the boundaries of contemporary scholarship in this regard. Further, the journal also welcomes inter-disciplinary and/or comparative approaches to the study of human rights in the Muslim world in an effort to encourage the emergence of new methodologies in the field. Muslim World Journal of Human Rights recognizes that several highly contested debates in the field of human rights have been reflected in the Muslim world but have frequently taken on their own particular manifestation in accordance with the varying contexts of contemporary Muslim societies.
