Anti-Muslim provocation could deter community from US midterm elections, advocacy group says

A new report from the Muslim Public Affairs Council (Mpac) expresses concern about the escalation of far-right, anti-Muslim provocateurs in the US, whose actions often result in calls for increased law enforcement presence and could therefore end up dissuading Muslim Americans from voting in the midterm elections on 3 November. The study was carried out by the Center for Security, Technology, and Policy, which tracks Islamophobia across the US.
