On September 7, 2002 the Omaha World-Herald reported that "acts of kindness have outnumbered acts of bias in Omaha, said Tehmina Zeb and a dozen other Muslims who met with a reporter last week at the Omaha masjid (mosque). Interest in Islam has also soared, they said. But there are also lingering feelings among local Muslims that they must prove their patriotism and that their civil rights are under assault."
