After the September 11 attacks in 2001 , the Counterjihad movement , supported by groups such as Stop Islamization of America and individuals such as Frank Gaffney and Pamela Geller , began to gain traction among the American right . They were widely dubbed Islamophobic for their vocal condemnation of the Islamic faith and their belief that there was a significant threat posed by Muslims living in America . They believed the United States was under threat from ' Islamic supremacism ' , accusing the Council on American-Islamic Relations and even prominent conservatives like Suhail A. Khan and Grover Norquist of supporting radical Islamists such as the Muslim Brotherhood
