President Donald Trump on Muslim Discrimination Since President Donald Trump became a candidate for the President of the United States in January of 2017, Muslim discrimination has become more frequent in American society through his use of propaganda. Even though President Trump’s priorities as the President are to protect American citizens ' from events like the 9/11 and the San Bernardino terrorism attacks in 2015. The discrimination against Muslim citizens has made it seen as acceptable since they are labeled as terrorists and President Trump has not protected them from verbal and physical harassment from other citizens who are afraid of them. One of the first acts President Trump introduced was the executive order called the travel …show more content…
11.” There has not been a violent attack on U.S. soil since 9/11, the majority has been right-winged Americans; so, the question that should be asked is who is the real terrorist group in America. Since Trump’s presidential candidacy, the word terrorist has been loosely thrown around in the media by him and the American people are beginning to believe him since he is now the leader of the U.S. President Donald Trump’s reason for the travel ban was to prevent any terrorist from entering the country, and the majority of the places listed that are not allowed to come to America are Muslim countries. From GALE: Opposing Viewpoints in Context there is an article called ‘Denied Entry’ that gives the stories of those who have been affected by the travel ban enacted by President Trump. One person that was affected by the executive order was 33-year-old American citizen, Hamid Kargaran, who was waiting for his wife, a visa holder, to come back from visiting her family in Iran. When he found out that she would not be coming back, he was agitated with wondering if his wife would ever come back. A reaction of disappointment came to him
On January 27 Donald Trump signed an executive order on immigration. This order blocked many refugees from coming into the United States. The order also blocks citizens from Muslim countries such as Iran, Iraq, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Syria, and Yemen from entering the U.S. Donald Trump goal is to protect the U.S through the immigration ban. He saids that with the immigration ban ,the government will be able to review the refugee approval process and add more security measures.
In addition, the Muslim immigration law banned seven Muslim countries from entering the US because of the threats about terrorist attacks being received. Now, no Muslims can leave or enter the country because of this
Within the past few months the American people have witnessed violence from Isis and ultimately have fallen into a state of fear and confusion in regards to the safety of the nation. In response, Presidential candidate Donald Trump feels he has the capability to “make America great again” (Berman). In Russell Berman’s article “Donald Trump’s Call to Ban Muslim Immigrants,” he discusses Trump’s plan to address the issue: a “total and complete shutdown of Muslims entering the United States.” Because he is afraid of more attacks occurring in the United States, Trump stands up for these beliefs even though many people believe they are words of prejudice. Trump is not the only person who acts with prejudice when scared. Playwrights Arthur Miller
President Trump’s travel ban is a very strategic move by his administration towards taking larger steps in the prevention of terrorism in the United States. Although, I have some doubts about the rationale behind the ban. While the travel ban is said to not target Muslims, the
A little more up close and personal, the new draft provides details permitting grounds for travel to the seven muslim countries included in the ban. One can travel to one of the seven muslim countries but in order to be allowed back into the U.S. they must provide proof of a “bona fide
Both, feign to care for the “ordinary man” and paint the idea of equality, while at the same time oppressing certain ethnicities. For President Trump, the oppressed have been Hispanics and Muslims. On January 2017, the Trump administrations “travel ban’” went into effect. The administration used an executive order to ban foreign nationals from six major Muslim countries from entering the U.S. Whilst, spreading anti- Latino remarks, often calling Hispanics rapist and condemning violent crimes.
One of the scariest things about Trump saying all these things is that there's so many people out there that think these things and when they see someone who's running for president, they feel like their opinion is validated. This causes increased racism and xenophobia amongst the population. This is dangerous because people also feel like they can also now act upon these things; for example someone may feel like it is okay to beat up a muslim because Trump, a presidential candidate, spoke openly of his racist opinion toward
Some Americans may argue that restrictions are placed to protect them from certain religious states which contain terrorist groups. Past terrorist attacks in this country has left deep impacts, one of the many resulted in approximently 3,000 people dead. It has been shown that the largest numbers of deaths within the United States are caused by violent extremism (Bracken). Recently, Donald J. Trump a former business man who just this year became the 45th president of the United States, has raised more awareness to this issue. In his attempts to keep America safe he proposed and passed a ban on foreign terrorist entry. Trump states "I therefore direct that the entry into the United States of nationals of those six countries be suspended for 90 days from the effective date of this order, subject to the limitations, waivers, and exceptions set forth in sections 3 and 12 of this order." This dilemma raised negative concerns and thoughts about many who once lived in the Islamic States that are being banned.
The travel ban restricts the travel of people from eight different nations which included six that are largely Muslim nations. There are different restrictions for each nation, however most include the restriction of immigration to America permanently; some of the nations are not even allowed to visit the country. While it is understood that precautions are being taken to protect our country, we cannot accuse a person of partaking in harmful events and beliefs just because of their
The Travel Ban marks a major turning point in the policies on immigration in the United States. Due to increased terrorist attacks and illegal immigrant numbers rising, it is believed that temporarily banning immigrants from particular countries is key to ensuring safety within the United States. Though many have expressed their concern towards the ban because of its similarity to previous discriminatory and unconstitutional acts. The ban has even been referred to as the “Muslim Ban”.
On January 27, 2017, President Trump issued an executive order that suspended entry of all refugees into the United States for one-hundred and twenty days. The order obstructed Syrian refugees for an unspecific time and blocked entry into the United States for ninety days for citizens of seven Muslim countries, such as: Sudan, Libya, Somalia, Iraq, Iran, Syria, and Yemen. This order also banned green card holder from these seven countries.
Donald Trump is running for president. He is laying down a lot of proposals. One of the biggest proposal is trying to ban Muslims from entering the United States, when he becomes president. Donald Trump addressed these issues saying that he is trying to protect the US and the people away from danger. This is important issue because it is unconstitutional.
September 11th holds many hard and upset feelings around the world today. The harsh actions of Muslim extremists unfortunately completely changed the way Muslims are treated, especially in the United States. These events, exacerbated islamophobia. Unfortunately, “the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, connect Muslims and Islam to terrorism within the geographical borders of the United States.” (Byng) Although it has been over a decade since the attack, many still feel racist and discriminatory attitudes towards Muslims. Muslims are the targeted minority in the United States, “the 9/11 terrorist attacks shifted the social and political context for Muslims in the United States. Terrorism within the geographical borders of the United States carried out by Muslims places an identity at the center of national and global politics.” (Byng) The blame of the horrible terrorist attacks, rather than be placed on terrorists or religious extremist, has been placed on Islam in America. After September 11th, hate crimes towards Muslims skyrocketed, “the most dramatic change noted by the report was a more than 1,600 percent increase in reported hate crimes against Muslims -- a jump from 28 hate incidents in 2000 to 481 last year.”
The Executive order created a ban against six different Middle Eastern countries from travelling or immigration to the United States that consisted of Iran, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Syria, and Yemen. The original term for this was the Muslim Ban which resulted in a press conference to defend our president Donald Trump for his vulgar usage of the term banning a religion instead of a country. Iraq was also a part of the list of countries but as of March sixth, 2017, it was removed. These countries were all placed on the list for various reasons that were stated in the Executive Order banning travel to
Terrorism has been a major problem for all people in the 21st century, with so much fear in our lives there have been regulations and rules set by the government to protect its citizens. The US has tried many different ways to prevent terrorism, but perhaps the most controversial are the travel bans. In the last year there have been several executive orders signed by the president banning travel into the United States from specific countries. Many of the previous presidents have placed travel bans for the protection of the country but there have been more objections to the ones of 2017 than ever before. Travel bans have been placed for multiple reasons, but for the most part, all are said to share the goal of protecting the American people. Travel bans disrupt the lives of people all over the world, and in the last year they have caused major upset due to the ban on Muslim majority countries, but even with all the controversy, some people believe that these bans are the best way to combat terrorism.
