Violent opposition to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints emerged shortly after the coalescence of the group in the early 1830s. Mormons were subjected to intolerance everywhere they settled. Local, state, and territorial governments were opposed to them in varying degree. After founder Joseph Smith was murdered in Illinois many Mormons migrated westward. Their practice of polygamy brought them continued criticism during the nineteenth century. Intolerance of Mormons was punctuated by numerous instances of organized violence against them.

This chapter examines the emergence of Islamophobia after September 11, 2001, and its continued rise in the early twenty-first century with conspiracy theories about Sharia, Christian fears about the future of America as a “Christian nation,” and the presidential campaign and election of Donald Trump. The primary sources in this chapter focus on the birther controversy surrounding President Barack Obama, the racialization of Islam and attacks on Sikhs, media and popular culture stereotypes of Islam as un-American, violent, and oppressive toward women, and the expansion of Islamophobia during the Trump presidency. Various sources, ranging from tweets and radio transcripts to T-shirts and internet art to news interviews and executive orders, demonstrate the growth and pervasiveness of Islamophobia in the twenty-first century United States.

Intolerance of a wide range of religious groups in the nineteenth century often was marked by violence. Targets included Shakers, African American religious communities, Methodists, Millerites/Adventists, and the Church of Christ, Scientist. Such groups typically were outside of a middle-class, historically well-established white Protestant denominational family in America. Mob violence against such groups occurred repeatedly. State constitutions prohibited non-believers from holding public office.

Europeans who settled North America brought with them deep-seated religious prejudices and a history of violence between rival religious groups. They enacted law that enforced religious orthodoxy and punished those who strayed from it. They excluded religious competitors from their localities. Those actions were ideologically bolstered by claims to special religious status in a Christian ordering of the world, and by interpretation of Christian scripture that legitimated violence against their opponents.

Settler colonialism was imbued with intolerance towards Indigenous peoples. In colonial North America brutal military force was applied to the subjection and conversion of Native Americans to Christianity. In the United States, that offense continued, joined with condemnations of Indian religious practice as savagery, or as no religion at all. The violence was legitimated by appeals to Christian scripture in which genocide was commanded by God. Forced conversion to Christianity and the outlawing of Native religious practices were central aspects of white intolerance.
