Abstract

This article demonstrates that the effect of the post-9/l1 climate facing Muslim-Americans pervades even ordinary aspects of contemporary life. Part II of the article discusses the legal paradigm of when discrimination has legal implications and merits government action. Part III explores al-Qaeda's sophisticated use of the Internet and summarizes the government's post-9/l1 online surveillance efforts. Part IV discusses OUPOLL's survey results.
