摘要
摘要：本文关注两起穆斯林青年被谋杀的案件，但执法部门拒绝将其归类为仇恨犯罪。它调查了2015年在北卡罗来纳州教堂山发生的Deah Barakat、Yusor Abu Salha和Razan Abu Salha谋杀案，以及2017年在弗吉尼亚州雷斯顿发生的Nabra Hassanen谋杀案。作者认为，否认这些案件为仇恨犯罪有助于减少反穆斯林种族主义，应该被理解为一种种族煽动——系统地否认种族主义的持续性和严重性。在与那些主张通过废除监狱和恢复性司法重新思考刑事司法系统的人交谈时，它认为，鉴于国家有责任将穆斯林视为国家安全威胁，寻求国家对仇恨犯罪的承认并不能提供正义。它探讨了反穆斯林种族主义是如何通过对种族主义和仇恨犯罪的极其狭隘和有问题的定义，通过将惩罚置于公民权利之上的仇恨犯罪方法，以及通过给穆斯林社区造成困境来维护的，穆斯林社区必须从对他们实施监视和暴力的同一个州寻求对反穆斯林种族歧视的承认。
Abstract:This essay focuses on two cases in which Muslim youth were murdered yet law enforcement refused to classify the murders as hate crimes. It examines the 2015 murders of Deah Barakat, Yusor Abu-Salha, and Razan Abu-Salha in Chapel Hill, North Carolina and the 2017 murder of Nabra Hassanen in Reston, Virginia. This author argues that the denial of these cases as hate crimes contributes to the diminishment of anti-Muslim racism and should be understood as a form of racial gaslighting—a systematic denial of the persistence and severity of racism. In conversation with those advocating for rethinking the criminal justice system through prison abolition and restorative justice, it posits that seeking state recognition for hate crimes cannot provide justice given that the state is responsible for constructing Muslims as a national security threat. It explores how anti-Muslim racism is upheld through extremely narrow and problematic definitions of racism and hate crimes, through an approach to hate crimes that prioritizes punishment over civil rights, and through creating a dilemma for Muslim communities who must seek recognition of anti-Muslim racism from the same state that enacts surveillance and violence on them.
