Today the ground is shaking beneath my feet.
The Diyanet Mosque burns Sunday in New Haven, Conn. Police said the mosque was purposefully set on fire. By Elisabeth Becker Topkara May 14 at 4:34 PM When we moved from New Haven last year, we struggled to leave our family home, attached not only to the relationships we had built but also to the leafy green streets, the exceptional Yale University libraries and the Diyanet Mosque where our son spent much of his early life.
For my husband, a Turkish German academic, this mosque brought his ancestry into the everyday life of the American city, a place where he not only prayed but spoke in the language of his parents, and where he befriended men like Yacob and Osman . The Diyanet Mosque allowed him, and therefore our family, to feel rooted in New Haven, fostering the feeling that we were home.
While it feels as if a fault line is spreading across the American imagination, these attacks know no geographical bounds, spanning states and institutions alike. A shared characteristic of recent attacks on mosques, synagogues and black churches includes the motivation of violence, an emboldened white supremacy that casts both religious and racial minorities as outsiders, seen as in but not of America.
Such attacks have taken place in a broader atmosphere in which hate crimes against Muslims, Jews and racial minorities have risen over the past three years, according to the FBI.
