Jihad is a term associated with terrorists who believe in war against nonbelievers. However, the misinterpretation of this concept has created a prejudice toward the Muslim people. A majority of the American population, like Donald Trump, are fearful of this approach against believers of other faiths. In result, he proposes the U.S should ban all Muslims from entering the country. Over two million Muslim families live in the United States currently. Many have been here for years, and came to seek a better life. Unfortunately, Muslims are getting a bad reputation because of ongoing terrorism. Furthermore, the U. S. should not take these steps towards disallowing Muslims to enter the states. Not only would it create a hostile relationship with other Islamic countries, but it would be considered discrimination against the faith and go against basic human principles.
If we isolate the Muslim population, the U. S will most likely cease intercontinental relations with foreign Islamic nations. The

When muslims enter the country they deserve the same right that is given to other immigrants ; freedom of religion. Banning muslims from entering the country because of their religious beliefs is as preposterous as not allowing a new person into a church. The United States is a boiling pot of ethnicities, nationalities and religions. The U.S should not ban muslims from migrating into the country, because it will create tension among Islamic countries, separate families and be a threat against religious freedom. People often fear things they do not understand, it seems that many Americans are associating muslims with the ideals of terrorist groups simply because they are unfamiliar to their religion. If the government does not look past their fear of allowing muslims into the country, it will be alone in their struggle against real
Schools are meant to be a safe environment full of books and learning opportunities. If this is impaired by books that should be banned, students may feel displaced or uncomfortable. Even a high schooler is prone to this, if action is not taken. There are hundreds of books full of violence, explicit language, and drug references. Annenberg Classroom says it is “unsuitable for students” (AnnenbergClassroom.org). Students of all ages are strongly suggested to not partake of those things, and reading all about them can cause them to think it is acceptable. It is up to administrators and parents to decide what should be allowed in school libraries. Everybody has different beliefs, but most people would not want their
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
Much like many white people in the South believed black protestors had no right to infiltrate their cities in the 1960s, a large number of Americans are against the idea of letting refugees or anyone that follows a strongly stereotyped religion into their country. However, like King says, “injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere” (78). Over the course of history, the United States have established themselves as a major power with the intentions of helping others. Whether the tactics for this have actually been successful in the past is a different discussion, but if the motives are pure, then this country has a moral and ethical obligation to help those in need. In this case, that would mean allowing these refugees into the country and not continuing to stigmatize an entire group of people any further. This country turned away refugees during World War II, and a portion of them were killed in the Holocaust. The exact same thing could potentially happen if these refugees and muslims are banned from traveling into the United States.
"As a result of these differing opinions, many individuals fear they may be denied entry to the country in the future. This is especially true during times of war, as the goverment did prohibit Chinese laborers from entering the country in the 1800s and also allow Japanese-Americans to be put into internment camps during World War II. As many are now saying America is in a war against Islamic extremists, this could lead to certain groups, such as Muslims, from being banned legally," Munsey
Since 9-11 the talk has been to deport Muslims due to the immediate threat of ISIS today. There are different way of going at this. We can use a tracking system to make sure that non-citizens do not overstay their Visa. Deport all non-citizens and ban Muslims from entering the country until ISIS is defeated, or ban and deport them all.
Founded in 1814, Spalding University is one of the oldest colleges formed west of the Alleghenies. Established by the Sisters of Charity of Nazareth, the college was named after it's foundress, Mother Catherine Spalding. The schools academic traditions stem back to when the Sisters first established Nazareth Academy in Nazareth, near Bardstown, Kentucky. In 1825 the Spalding's earliest entrance examination was held with Henry Clay handing out awards. Like with academies for young women in the 19th century, Nazareth Academy conducted not only standard secondary school curriculum but college subjects as well. It also served as a training center for sisters who wanted to teach in other schools. Before the turn of the century, 84 new schools and academies were
However, it is not only Muslim terrorists who are trying to enter the United States, but refuges as well. Devastating events mainly happening in Muslim countries lead to direct arrival of Muslim ethnic communities in the United States. It is unjust to believe each and every human traveling from Islamic States are terrorists since each state is disproportionately dictated meaning some have less violence and civil rights than
Although not always recognizable, biblical allusions enhance the writing of novels, and connect specific themes to the Bible. Throughout Cry, The Beloved Country, Alan Paton has placed numerous biblical allusions, corresponding to the common theme of Man’s relationship with God. Some of these allusions pertain to actual verses from the Bible placed into the story. Others are abstract and are representations of themes from the Bible. Generally, Alan Paton has ingeniously placed biblical allusions to emphasize the relationship between man and God.
Donald Trump has suggested a “total and complete shutdown” of Muslims entering the U.S. While ISIS
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”.
There is a large burden of guilt carried by Lady Macbeth and Macbeth in Shakespeare's tragedy Macbeth. Let's look at this situation closely in the following essay.
Books are a way for people to get away from reality and also learn new information they should not be banned. Books shouldn’t be banned from society; however some do have suggestive content or profanity. These types of books should be supervised and have an age limit. By banning books it can eliminate teachings of life lessons for students. Also, going through life without knowing anything besides rainbows and lollipops can set up students for a rude awakening when they really start to learn about life. Yes you should try to protect your kids as much as possible; however other kid’s parents might not be doing the same. Your children could be getting mislead information from these children that know about the bad things in this world. It’s best that children are just informed from the beginning and given facts on the topics
Many experts fear the heated debate over immigration may cause the world's most talented young people to avoid studying at American universities or moving to the United States. (CQ researcher, 27, 169-172.) There are students who travel with visa or temporary pass and being educated here is an advantage for most of them. Trump is trying to stop terrorism but he also holds back those who could have been something. Trump is concerned about his safety which is why the ban took place but on other hand Muslims are not the only terrorist to do treating, killing or bombing because the United States is full of those people. Why are our jails so packed and not enough space? Yes, Muslims have also caused much trouble, but is it really the Muslims we should be afraid of? Omar Aloha tour from Huffington Post said, "Furthermore, many Muslims have served and currently serve in the military to help protect this nation from terrorists." Trump is isolating people and creating a different image in others mind which all this ends up causing hatred, discrimination and bullying towards individuals. America will only be great again if there's peace, love, and people accept each other the way they
The travel ban is an executive order which was put into place by President Donald Trump’s administration on January 27th, 2017. The order was put into place for our national security to “protect the nation from foreign terrorist entry into the United States.” This measure banned travel into the U.S. for 90 days from Iran, Iraq, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Syria, and Yemen. This obviously sparked an outcry from social media, which caused a divide among Americans. With a show of hands, how many of you think that the travel ban is actually a ban on Muslim refugees and that it is racist. Recent polls show that 57% of Americans favor the temporary ban while 33% are opposed to it, and 10% are still undecided. Racism, fascism, and Islamophobia; these words have all taunted supporters of President Trump and the travel ban. The one thing people don’t realize is that the travel ban isn’t banning Muslims from America. Who in the room can name the top 5 countries with the most Muslims. They are Indonesia, India, Pakistan, Bangladesh and Nigeria. Not one of these countries are listed in the ban. This ban is only for only ninety days, and is aimed at countries who have sent a large contingency of terrorists to the U.S. The countries selected have active terrorist training camps, and Trump is not the individual who selected the countries on the list. These countries are unstable, with no reliable vetting procedures. We shouldn’t admit people until they can meet our security screening standards.
I do agree with your ideology that guns have had astounding advance, however I personally feel as though the issue is the assailants not the inanimate object. A farmer's usage of a firearm and gun being occupied by a thief, are two completely different uses of the same object. Banning guns from civilians of use it out of necessity will create anti-American views since it will affect them drastically.
