Muslim Americans

      Muslim Americans have immigrated to the United States like most of the groups that came over here looking for freedom of religion and for new opportunities. Muslim Americans were also mistreated like any other group but in the present day they are mistreated even more because of what happened in 911. In the present day the Muslim American population is 7 million people that live now in the US. It is one of the mayor groups in the US right now but they are always being mistreated because people think that they are terrorist and they are in struggle right now because everyone can be a terrorist not just them.
     The Muslim American population formed when many were migrated to the United States looking for a new life. They were mistreated like everyone else because they were not white, they were kind of tan, so Americans did not like them. Some were also compared to latin americans because of their tan skin. This group has been in the US for many years now and now they are being mistreated even more because of what happened in 911. After 911 everyone that looked like the people that did what happened are being mistreated and since the muslim americans are from the same culture they look a like. For the most part the people that look like terrorist are detained and then sent to Guantanamo Bay in Cuba.
      Right now the muslim american population is 7 million and growing. That makes up 2% of the United States population is muslim american. This population will keep growing because right now in the Middle East it is not very good so more muslims will keep coming to have a better life and the ones that are here now are going to keep fighting for their rights to be treated equally everywhere they go even if the people do not like it.
