A 2009 report from the Pew Research showed that eight years after the terrorist attacks of 9/11, Americans saw Muslims as facing more discrimination inside the U.S. than other major religious groups. Nearly six-in-ten adults (58 percent) said Muslims are subject to a lot of discrimination, far more than said the same about Jews, evangelical Christians, atheists or Mormons. In fact, of all the groups asked about, only gays and lesbians were seen as facing more discrimination than Muslims, with nearly two-thirds (64 percent) of the public saying there is a lot of discrimination against homosexuals.
