Along with the rise of islamophobia and xenophobia, has been a corresponding rise of fear in Muslim communities. After a bomb threat was detected at a mosque in Bergen County, New Jersey, and after the traumatic event of the New Zealand shooting, Muslims all over the U.S. have been experienced a heightened emotion of fear in what is supposed to be their most peaceful area of worship. I would like to capture a series of photos that capture the everyday lives of Muslims in this community, and provide shots of what goes on in the mosque, and how the community has been dealing with these threats by volunteering as security and organizing therapy sessions for the youth in the community.
