Two sources show the Houston Chronicle headline with the claimed wording: a Reddit post by the houston_chronicle author and a Rothko Chapel archive entry dated September 11, 2026.

Our two reads of who says this, and how, disagree, so it counts as the post's own claim.
What was said
… Never go full Houston Chronicle. On the 25th anniversary of 9-11, they are very, very heavy hearted over Muslims. Yep, they are very worried about the perpetually aggrieved Muslims, so they can whine about Islamophobia. Headline from The Houston Chronicle: "Muslim leaders call today's Islamophobia worse than 9-11 aftermath." What changed?

The Michael Berry Show · · from the transcriptPost →What we found
Supports. A Reddit post attributed to the houston_chronicle author reproduces the headline 'Houston Muslim leaders call today's Islamophobia worse than 9/11 aftermath. What changed?' with a September 11, 2026 date.[1]
Supports. A Rothko Chapel news archive lists a Houston Chronicle item dated September 11, 2026 with the headline 'Muslim leaders call today's Islamophobia worse than 9/11 aftermath. What changed?'[2]
Context. The Chronicle article itself (dated September 11, 2026) is headlined 'Houston Muslims say Islamophobia is worse today than after 9/11. What changed?', so the headline wording differs between versions, though its body says Muslim leaders in Houston call today's climate far worse than the post-9/11 aftermath.[3]
Context. The sources with the claimed headline are unrated and low-credibility aggregators or listings, so the headline is only lightly corroborated. The claim's wording matches the extraction from the passage.[1][2]
