Muslim Discrimination In The United States

Ridgeview Christian School is a non-profit, private, Christian school located in Stuarts Draft, Virginia. They are a ministry of Ridgeview Baptist Church and was established in 1976. I am very familiar with this school as my daughter has been a student there for four years and my husband is an alumnus. The reason I chose this was because I am knowledgeable in their history, values and even flaws that they have.

In the story The Cog by Charles E Fritch uses hyperboles and similes to bring the story to life. James Maxwell is sitting on a stage looking at a crowd of people that are looking at him. There is a huge metal spaceship that will be launching soon, and all that he can think about is him himself being on the spaceship heading off to space.

Among the minorities, people with an Islamic religious viewpoint are treated differently throughout America. A dark day in United States history,

There are times in which a person's ethnicity could conflict with their nationality, such as when as the population of a nation racially abuses a certain ethnic group. The terrorist attacks on Paris have led to hate crimes against Muslims in America. This racism contributes to the decomposition of Muslim nationality in America and elsewhere in the world.

Being Muslim in America comes with many challenges and hurdles, but the struggle has just begun. American Muslims have faced a great deal of discrimination from the public and the American government, as well as anti-Muslim sentiment from media outlets that depict Muslims in a negative light. Islamophobia has increased since the 9/11 attacks and Muslims have experience an array of hate crime throughout the years. Unfortunately, due to the ignorance of some and the lack of understanding of others, Muslims have become prime targets and the face of all that’s evil in the world. However, if Americans learn to put their differences aside and try to understand Islam for what it truly is, a religion founded upon peace and justice, they will see that

Many discrimination against Muslims after 9/11 attack have been rising immediately. Many people have started hating Muslims after this attack. Also, Muslims get stereotypes that they are terrorists and they are bad people. Many hatred people of American Muslims have been giving Muslims a hard time. The hatred people of Muslims have been giving Muslims a hard time by giving Muslims many threats, assaults, bombing of property. American Muslims have been facing many hate crimes in public and work, and the hate crimes against American Muslims have been rapidly increasing since the 9/11 attack.

Muslim women are continually marginalized by American society, due to their gender, religion, ethnicity and race. Between growing up in an Islamophobic country, being divided by race and religion, the social and cultural pressures of being a woman and the media/public labeling one as a terrorist, Muslim women face extremely challenging issues living in America. However, as a result of their unique intersectional axis, they fail to receive support from advocacy organizations. Thus, it is evident that the prevailing narrative concerning Muslim American women needs to change. The best approach would be an intersectional method, that addresses gender, religion, ethnicity and race. These steps should include increased funding and support for “outreach and support programs in schools, mosques and neighborhoods,” that seek to deepen the ties between Muslim American women and the broader communities at large

In the United States alone, Muslims make up at least 1% of the population; which is 3.3 million people (Pew Research,2015). Since America is noted as a free and accepting country, any individual from outside the U.S, would easily come to the conclusion that all Muslims in every corner of the United States are being treated the same as everyone else. That is, unfortunately, not true; Attacks and discriminatory actions have become common in the lives of some Muslim adolescents that are currently living in the United States. Since the 9/11 terror attacks, discrimination against Muslims (predominantly adolescents) have wildly increased, and more Americans (typically older) are becoming anti-Muslim. Anyone can simply view this as normal since

It's powerful to measure a sentiment like bias, the word for hate and concern of Muslims. but it is also challenging to escape the thought that being Muslim in America these days is becoming difficult. The anti-Muslim rallies, the vicious hate crimes, the racial discrimination, and the threats and taunts are very harsh. Scholars say bias looks to surge once attacks by Muslim extremists and through presidential campaigns, once candidates pledge to urge harshness on terrorists, typically by singling out Muslims. Simply in the week, once a Muslim man was charged with explosive bombs in the big apple and New Jersey and another was suspect of stabbing ten folks in Minnesota, political party presidential politician Donald Trump urged native cops

MUSLIMS! No not ISIS or Al Qaeda. Muslims the ones that actually practice the Islamic faith. Islam means the one who peacefully surrenders to God. Islam first originated from Mecca to Medina  and later extended into the West and East. Back in the days, there were only a small number of Muslims, however today there's about 1.6 billion Muslims  worldwide.  Muslims believe in only one God and that Muhammad, peace be upon him, is his last messenger. Muslims pray five times a day,  give to charity, fast during the holy month of Ramadan, and go to pilgrimage. Muslims believe in a set of rules and guides the inhibit drinking alcohol, drugs and premarital sex. Both Muslim men and women are required

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

There is a blatant disregard to the Muslim religion and most employers are ignorant and uninformed of the religion. Many coworkers are ill informed of the difference between Muslims and terrorists, and often categorize them as dangerous people.

I think that Muslim discrimination in America got worse, but some things have to get worse to get better. Historically and presently, when Muslims travel to the United States or live in the US they face discrimination because of a small number of Islamic extremists take their religion too far. Historically there have been attacks on America that caused the discrimination. Currently in the US there have been some attacks by extremists and radical terrorists. The “islamic terrorists” are trying to “protect their religion” from the United States of America. In the future, I think there will still be discrimination against Muslim people. Further in the future there could be a time when there is very minimal discrimination against Muslims.

According to Rothenberg, “Arabs and Muslim Americans are the new problem of American society, but there have of course been others” (p. 237). He then goes on and states, many other minority groups faced similar discrimination, often during times of war, immigration, and largely based on religion. For example, during colonization of the United States Native Americans were stereotyped to be savages. During World War 1, many schools banned the teaching of the German language. I believe Muslim Americans are facing the same type of discrimination, due to war in the middle east, and religious affiliation.
