US Muslims worried over Islamophobia after California shooting

Muslim communities in the US have expressed concern over a new wave of Islamophobia following the recent mass shooting in California.

 

 
 
On Wednesday, a couple armed with rifles and handguns attacked a center for people with developmental disabilities in San Bernardino, California, killing at least 14 people and wounding 21 others in the deadliest mass shooting in the United States in three years.
 
Syed Rizwan Farook, 28, and his wife, Tashfeen Malik, 27, were killed in a shootout with police after Wednesday's mass shooting.
 
Farook has been described as a second-generation American born in Illinois and raised by Pakistani parents while Malik was born in Pakistan and lived in Saudi Arabia until she met Farook, according to Reuters.
 
Muslims all across the US are now worried that the allegations about the shooters’ past bring more discrimination upon them.
