Honoring the victims resulting from hate crimes, Islamophobia and anti-immigrant sentiment, in the aftermath of September 11, 2001, where individuals were targeted by violence and hatred because they were Muslim or perceived to be Muslim.

House Resolution 662 is a commemorative measure that formally recognizes and honors the individuals who have been victims of hate crimes, Islamophobia, and anti-immigrant sentiment in the years following the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks. The resolution officially condemns all forms of religious and ethnic intolerance, specifically highlighting violence directed at those who are Muslim or perceived to be Muslim.

As a simple resolution, this legislation does not create new laws, allocate federal funding, or change existing regulations; rather, it serves as a formal statement of the House of Representatives' position against discrimination. For citizens, its primary impact is to provide official government acknowledgement of the challenges faced by these communities and to reaffirm a national commitment to protecting the civil rights of all individuals regardless of their faith or background.
