Arab and Muslim Americans Americanization

Prior to th events of 9/11, the Arab and Muslim American population were well-assimilated into American culture with many of these ethnic members high statuses in income, education, and occupation---thus given characterized as the silent or invisible minority.  However, post-9/11 experiences have redefined this group as one of the more visibly politicized ethnic-American groups. 

Can Muslim and Arab Americans overcome the weight of Islamophobia and regain their status of the silent minority?
