Discrimination Against Muslim Discrimination

I believe the two most important amendments in the Bill of Rights is the first and second amendments. The reason the first amendment is important to the United States citizens is because it protects the freedom of speech, religion and the press of a citizen. Citizens are able to communicate, state their opinion without getting into any trouble. However, “There are some limits to this, though, such as libel, slander, obscenity and incitement to commit a crime.”. People are free to speak their minds as long as they do not give false information about any other citizen. Many citizens have different religions, no one can change a person's religion nor how they practice it. Everyone has a right to their own religion, citizens have the freedom of

Introduction In the UK, all the people who are using the health services are expectant that the providers of care should be able to treat most of their information with a lot of confidentiality. The relationship between most of the doctors and the patients has to be built on trust and this is enhanced by the way the doctors treat patient information and data. The doctors have to keep the patient information very confidential because this can lead to a great relationship existing between them.

In the US Constitution, the first amendment states that “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof…” However, this law is being ignored when it comes to Muslim women in the US. Muslim women in the US, just like everyone else, have the right to practice their religion and have every right to be treated respectfully and not be discriminated or harassed because of their religion or their gender. Many muslim women practice the hijab and wear loose fitting clothes because it is a sign of modesty, distinction and to not call attention upon themselves (McCloud 51). However, in the past few decades discrimination has been occurring against them due to their lifestyle and the way they

Being a Muslim in an American country is a struggle and ever since, 9/11 effects took a turn for Muslims. Ever since Trump was elected president, the discrimination against Muslims has grown stronger. People need to be educated about Muslim culture and eliminate the perception that every Muslim is a “terrorist”. The community I am looking towards on the University of Kentucky campus is the MSA. The MSA is the Muslim student association and their goal is to promote Islam and teach us all about how peaceful is their religion. After looking in depth the bigger question I will be looking at is what is life like for Muslims post 9/11 (Macroaggression)?

As stated in “The Universal Declaration of Human Rights”, no one should be discriminated and human rights belong to everyone no matter how different they are. When Donald Trump passed the ban against Muslims in the United States, this was a clear sign of discrimination. In the article, “Trump Fires Acting Attorney General Sally Yates for Refusing to Defend Immigration Order”, Trump’s order… affects immigration from seven countries that have predominantly Muslim population, temporarily bans certain travelers and places indefinite restriction on Syrian refugees.” Anyone who was from the seven targeted Muslim-majority countries were not allowed into the United

According to report conducted by the Federal Bureau Investigation (FBI), there has been an increase of violence against Muslim Americans between the year of 2000 to 2001. According to author Junaid M. Aleef of the news article, “To Fight Terrorism, we need to deal with the American Muslim Identity Crisis”, there have been numerous instance of hate crimes toward Muslim-Americans. Aleef mentioned that three Muslim students were assassinated at The University of North Carolina at Chapel. In addition, a teenage Muslim boy died from a hit-and-run motor vehicle incident. Lastly, many mosques along the east coast had possessions stolen and have been vandalized. The progression of terrorist attacks has contributed to the increase in hate crimes against Muslim-Americans. (Aleef).

The agonizing terrorist attacks of September 9th, 2001 left the country in emotional distress. The United States of America decided to prepare for tragic attacks like this and reevaluated its immigration and foreign policies, the citizens of the US also became united and stronger from these attacks. This ideology that the US has become more united after an attack that killed nearly 3,000 people has become mainstream and may be true in some cases, but many people overlook the impact it had on the millions of Muslim Americans. The Muslim generation before us had its own problems dealing with racial discrimination and hate crimes, many people believed it stop their but this contempt was passed on to my generation. The discrimination I have received has caused me to change my aspirations in order to ensure that no one else receives the treatment I had gotten.

In recent decades, various kinds of discrimination against Arab Americans, Muslim and non-Muslim, and other Muslim Americans have been linked to international issues and related racial or religious stereotypes. For example, as early as 1972, in the wake of a Palestinian terrorist attack in Germany, then-President Richard Nixon, who was influenced by his negative framing of Middle Easterners, created a clandestine department specifically aimed at Arab Americans. This occurred even though no Americans were injured or killed in that attack against Israeli athletes, as a result of the CIA and the FBI collected information on Arab Americans and harassed many of those U.S.

Being a Muslim in America country is a struggle, and ever since 9/11, things have taken a turn for Muslims. When Trump was elected president, the discrimination against Muslims has grown stronger. People need to be educated about Muslim culture and eliminate the perception that every Muslim is a “terrorist.” The community I am looking towards on the University of Kentucky campus is the MSA. The MSA is the Muslim Student Association and their goal is to promote Islam and teach us all about the peaceful nature of the religion. Throughout my paper these 5 sources that I researched played a major role in the Muslim community. My first source was a video called Muslim leaders speak out after mosque fire. My second source was an article called Young

This can be compared to the anti-communist movements during the cold war, where communists were depicted as enemies of the United States and very openly discriminated against, even if those being oppressed were of no relation to the communist party. As Said puts it, “Framing, in other words, paints over a complex reality and, more importantly, shapes our reactions and beliefs to the new reality that it creates, which in turn, perpetuates negative stereotypes and discrimination.” Due to this mentality Muslims from everywhere and of every group are being discriminated against. Many Muslim Americans have been heard saying that after 911, it has become a lot more difficult to live in the United States. Many have said that they had been singled out by airport security officers and been placed under extra scrutiny because of their

Islam is the fourth largest and fastest growing religion in the United States (U.S.), which means there is a great amount of Muslim population (Ali, Yamada, and Mahmood 2015). However, after the attacks of September 11, religious discrimination against Muslims has been increasing in the workplace, especially, against Muslim women due to their religious attire (Ali et al. 2015). Since workplace discrimination toward Muslim women has been extended, many researches focus on the issue. My research problem is impacts of wearing hijab in the workplace and relationships between the practice of hijab, discrimination, job stress, and job satisfaction among Muslim women in the U.S. Research questions are differences and relationships between two groups

Thinking as a sociologist, you might ask yourself, why does this happen? What causes people to categorize a whole group of people solely based on their faith? What exactly causes someone to not want to sit with someone, because the other person may be wearing a hijab? When did Islamophobia spread and became an issue? What are some possible solutions?

Standing against religious discrimination will decrease harassment on different religion of different classes. Muslim women experienced racism in workplaces. People determine others by their appearance. Muslim women often follow rules of their own religion, but people will start isolate Muslim women due to their religion and their habits. “By permitting a ban on the hijab, Europe is essentially permitting a ban on Muslim women in the workplace.‘I have friends who have taken to wearing the hijab in recent years because they feel their Muslim identity has been threatened, and they have decided to take a stand for their faith’.” (Amrani). In the column, a muslim women feels her identity has been threatened, harassed by people. But still, she chose to stand for her faith. If we stand against religious discrimination, there will be less people threatening muslim women because of their beliefs and identity. In

are not as defensive as they should be. That leaves room for American Muslims to question if

Anti-Muslim discrimination and prejudice has been a big problem in America since the September 11 attack. I chose this article to express my experience and feelings as being a Muslim American. I personally faced discrimination such as name calling, and everyone looking at me as a suspect. Even though I never experience physical assault, or physical harm, I experienced employment discrimination. Few years ago, I applied a job after I was waiting for weeks. Unfraternally, I did not get the job because I was not fit their dress coat description. Another thing that I always encounter is extra security searches than other people at airport. Not only I face screening, but I also have to answer a lot of questions that TSA agent asks me which I did not know why they asked me. Other discrimination I have experience is when I went public place such as malls, parks, and beeches people were afraid of me because of my Hijab. I always asked myself questions, such as why people always stereotype. As social workers, my goal is to empower my clients and community to make sure, they have voice. Social workers have a long history of helping workers fight discrimination. I want to tell the clients that they have to find ways to embrace and celebrate their identity the strength and beauty of them. One problem with discrimination is that people can affect others discouraging beliefs, even when they are false they may begin to feel that they are not good enough. As a social worker, I can advise
