“That does not solve our internal challenges with ISIS and our need to stop radicalization, to work with American Muslim communities who are on the front lines to identify and prevent attacks,” Hillary Clinton said during the final debate.
During Wednesday’s presidential debate, Hillary Clinton again brought up the importance of working with “American Muslim communities who are on the front lines to identify and prevent” terror attacks.
In October, Clinton also evoked Muslim Americans being on the “front line” of combating terror attacks, saying, “We need American Muslims to be part of our eyes and ears on our front lines.” ..Muslim Americans in a line at the Muslim Day Parade in September 2016, in New York.

And she wasn’t alone. Donald Trump falsely said that “many people saw the bombs all over the apartment of the two people that killed 14” in the San Bernardino attacks, adding that “Muslims have to report the problems when they see them.”

On that day, the hashtag #MuslimsReportStuff was born, resulting in Muslims reporting everything from long lines at Costco to quinoa being overrated.
However, Muslim-Americans have, and do, report suspicious activity within their communities. In fact, acomprehensive 2013 study by the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill, found that Muslim-Americans have put more terror suspects on the radar of law enforcement than government operations, such as the FBI.

“Since 9/11, 54 Muslim-American terrorism suspects and perpetrators were brought to the attention of law enforcement by members of the Muslim-American community,” the study found, compared to 52 people who “were discovered through U.S. government investigations.”
Regardless of this fact, many Muslim Americans are tired of being viewed solely through this paradigm in the political arena. Here is what some Muslim Americans and their fellow citizens had to say about being on the “front lines.”
Brb I'm just on the front line waiting for some secret info to give Hillary and her administration #debatenight
I am on no front line. And I don't see that as a compliment. I find it insulting and presuming suspicion against me is warranted
Once again, Clinton references Muslim-Americans, but only in the context of them actively fighting terrorism "on the front line."#debate twitter.com/nwarikoo/statu…
