4. My Question: In what ways has the surge in anti-Islam sentiment following the New Orleans attack impacted the social experiences and integration of Muslim communities in the United States?

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
The New Year's Day attack in New Orleans, which claimed the lives of 15 people and left dozens more injured, has given rise to a new wave of anti-Islamic sentiment in the U.S.

On Wednesday, the Federal Bureau of Investigation ( FBI) identified the perpetrator as Shamsud-Din Jabbar, a 42-year-old Army veteran born in Texas. The bureau said that an ISIS flag was located inside the vehicle used and that Jabbar posted videos declaring his support for the organization only moments before driving into a crowd of revelers on Bourbon Street in the city's French Quarter.

Exemplifying a trend that followed other instances of Islamic extremism-from 9/11 to Hamas' October 7, 2023, attack on Israel-prominent voices have jumped on the incident, using the attacker's reported radical religious affiliations to criticize not only Islam, but also decry the presence of Muslims in the U.S.

"Cruel, merciless, bottom-feeding extremist groups want us all to turn on one another and be afraid," Corey Saylor, research and advocacy director at the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), told Newsweek. "The best response is to stand together and rally around New Orleans, showing all such extremists that their vision of the world is garbage."

What Have Trump and MAGA Said About the Attack?

President-elect Donald Trump took to Truth Social on Thursday to blame the attack on "the Biden 'Open Border's Policy.'"

"I said, many times during Rallies, and elsewhere, that Radical Islamic Terrorism, and other forms of violent crime, will become so bad in America that it will become hard to even imagine or believe," Trump wrote. "That time has come, only worse than ever imagined."

Florida state senator and 2025 Congressional hopeful Randy Fine described the attack on X as an example of "Muslim terror," before stating: "It is high time to deal with this fundamentally broken and dangerous culture."

Richard Grenell, an ally of Trump tapped for a key foreign policy role in the next administration, rebuffed Fine's comments on X, writing: "They are Radicals. The Radicals must be defeated. Muslims call them Radicals, too. You aren't helping. There's this thing called the First Amendment which guarantees religious freedoms."

The Social Media Backlash

Islam is currently a trending topic on X, with nearly 400,000 posts, many of these expressing negative sentiments.

"Islam has no place in America. That's a plain fact," one account with over a million followers posted on January 1.

"Islamic extremist...... You mean people who actually follow the Qurans teaching?" Wrote UFC fighter Sean Strickland. "Islam contributes nothing to the world besides violence and oppression. It is not compatible with America and freedom." The post, which has received over 116,000 likes, was followed by a call for Islam to "stay in Islamic countries."

Beyond the general anti-Muslim expressions on social media, Islamic organizations have been subjected to unsolicited anonymous insults and threatening messages following the New Year's Day attack.

An official at CAIR shared with Newsweek the sort of messages the organization has received.

"Be a real shame if a bunch of terrorist pieces of s*** got deported as soon as Trump comes back," one read, sent from a seemingly bespoke email address with the name kill_yourself_lol.

Anti-Islamic Feeling in the United States

The flurry of anti-Islamic rhetoric is a common refrain following attacks involving Muslim perpetrators.

The events of September 11 led to a nationwide surge in violence and hate crimes targeting individuals of Middle Eastern, South Asian, and Arab descent, as well as those mistakenly perceived as Muslim.

Following the Hamas attacks on October 7, similarly, CAIR said that reported incidents of anti-Muslim discrimination had risen 69 percent in the first six months of 2024 compared to the same period the year before. This coincided with antisemitic incidents in the U.S. reaching record highs, according to a report from the Anti-Defamation League.

"Our priority remains standing with New Orleans in its incomprehensible tragedy," Saylor, of CAIR, told Newsweek when asked if the organization feared this latest surge of anti-Islamic rhetoric could turn into actual violence. "May God comfort the families of the victims, heal the injured and protect humanity from those who dare to commit such cowardly acts of mass violence."

However, Saylor said that the anticipates the "unprecedented wave of Islamophobia" already witnessed this year in the U.S. to continue.

In response to such fears, the Biden administration unveiled the National Strategy to Counter Islamophobia and Anti-Arab Hate in December, which lays out plans to partner with "all levels of government, civil society, and the private sector" to increase awareness of the risks and improve safety and security for these members of society.

The president-elect's link between the incumbent administration's border policies and the New Orleans attack raises the possibility that Trump could once again implement a travel ban targeting immigration from Muslim-majority countries, similar to the one enacted in 2017.

Croatian pupils returned to school on Tuesday after the winter break with tightened security measures in place after a seven-year-old was killed by an intruder last month.

On December 20, the last day of school before the holidays, a 19-year-old man entered a primary school in the capital, Zagreb, and stabbed four students and a female teacher.

One of the victims of the unprecedented attack, aged seven, died on the spot.

The man, who authorities said had a record of mental disorders and was a former pupil at the school, wounded himself before being arrested.

In line with a decision from the education ministry, as of Tuesday Croatia's more than 1,300 primary and secondary schools will be locked during school hours except for 30 minutes before the classes start and 15 minutes after they end.

Pupils are not allowed to leave the school premises during breaks.

Parents and other visitors are allowed to enter school only with prior notice.

Staff will be on duty at entrances during school hours.

Education Minister Radovan Fuchs pledged at the weekend to ensure that "in all Croatia's schools children can feel safe".

The December 20 attack was not a "terrorist act, neither an act of a religious fanatic", he told RTL television.

"It was a tragic act committed by a mentally ill person."

Some critics say locking schools will not solve the safety problem.

"We should work on preventive measures within society. Next time such an attack could happen in a health facility or elsewhere and we cannot lock everything," Sanja, the mother of a 12-year-old pupil who declined to give her family name, told AFP.

The attack sparked a protest by several thousand people in Zagreb in late December, with demonstrators calling for better safety at schools.

Winter Storm in North America

1.) I found it very interesting that Kansas City is seeing the most snowfall in 32 years, having more than a foot coming down already.

2.) I also thought it was interesting that over 60 million Americans have already been hit with severe weather alerts.

3.) AI Question: How do extreme weather events like Storm Blair, driven by the polar vortex, impact transportation, infrastructure, and emergency preparedness in the United States and Canada?

4.) My Question: How is this upcoming winter storm going to impact the schools in the area? Will they close? Will they stay open?

A huge winter storm has brought snow, ice and and freezing temperatures to a broad swathe of the US, with more than 60 million Americans under weather alerts.

Much of the US is waking up to below freezing temperatures on Monday morning, with some of the coldest conditions expected in Kansas, while the Washington DC area is awaiting unusually heavy snowfall.

Forecasters say the extreme weather - named Storm Blair - is being caused by the polar vortex, an area of cold air that circulates around the Arctic.

As of early Monday morning, 1,400 US flights had been cancelled for the day and 800 delayed, according to FlightAware.com.

A state of emergency has been declared in of Kansas, Missouri, Kentucky, Virginia, West Virginia, Arkansas and parts of New Jersey.

And much of Canada is also under weather alerts, as the blizzard conditions have dumped about a foot of snow (30cm) in places.

Thirty US states, spanning from the middle of the country to the east coast - including major cities such as Washington DC and Philadelphia - are under weather alerts, the National Weather Service (NWS) said.

On Sunday - which was forecast to be the most intense day of the storm - people in affected states saw roads cut off. Schools were shut down on Monday in Virginia, Maryland, Indiana and Kentucky.

Hundreds of car accidents and stranded drivers were reported over the weekend in several midwestern states - including Kansas as well as Indiana, Kentucky and Virginia.

Blizzard warnings have been issued in Kansas, Missouri and Nebraska.

Kansas City is seeing its heaviest snow in 32 years, with more than a foot (30 to 40cm) having come down so far, according to Matthew Cappucci, a senior meteorologist at the weather app MyRadar.

Parts of northern Missouri have already experienced 14in (36cm) of sleet and snow.

The storm began moving toward the US's east coast on Sunday, with parts of Virginia, Maryland, Washington DC and Delaware due to take the brunt.

Washington DC is bracing for heavy snow and bitter cold on Monday, the same day the US Congress is set to meet and formally certify Republican Donald Trump's election as president.

But Republican House Speaker Mike Johnson said the weather would not prevent lawmakers from carrying out their duties. But officials have announced that federal offices in the nation's capital will be closed.

The NWS said the winter storm could bring "the heaviest snowfall in at least a decade", while AccuWeather forecaster Dan DePodwin said: "This could lead to the coldest January for the US since 2011."

He added that "temperatures that are well below historical average" could linger for a week. Temperatures 12-25F (7-14C) below normal are forecast.

Further north, Canadians are also feeling the effects of the polar vortex.

Much of Canada has been under extreme weather alerts, with freezing temperatures spanning the country.

Some areas are also seeing snow squalls - a sudden heavy snowfall accompanied by strong winds.

In the central province of Manitoba, the wind chill could see temperatures plummet to as low as -40C.

Meanwhile, as much as 15in (38cm) of snow was expected in parts of Ontario on Sunday.

Amtrak has also cancelled numerous rail services.

American, Delta, Southwest and United airlines are waiving change fees for passengers because of the potential flight disruptions.

Conditions on roads have deteriorated, with crashes involving lorries and cars, as well as a fire engine rolling over near Salina, Kansas.

"Whiteout conditions will make travel extremely hazardous, with impassable roads and a high risk of motorists becoming stranded," the NWS warned.

Meanwhile, severe thunderstorms capable of producing tornadoes were set to move east from Arkansas and Louisiana into Mississippi and Alabama on Sunday evening, the NWS said.

Private meteorologist Ryan Maue said: "It's going to be a mess, a potential disaster. This is something we haven't seen in quite a while."
