The universalizing and stereotype constructions of Islam contribute to the ongoing marginalization and vulnerability of Muslims in the United States by placing a travel ban on their families in other countries. The travel ban makes it impossible for their families to visit them especially if a loved one is sick like in the article. It’s not right that his aunt can’t come into the country to comfort her sister during her husbands cancer just because President Trump has implied that people from those countries may be terrorist out to do Americans harm. Even when people of other countries successfully pass the background check they are still denied their visas in order to enter our country. Where is the fairness in stereotyping those people and not allowing them to enter into our great country. I think that as long as they pass the background check they should be allowed to receive their visas to enter America. Making them pay for what others have previously done is unethical and wrong. People should not be permanently barred based on the negative actions of others. Protecting national security from terrorist is a top priority in this country but not at the expense of alienating innocent Muslims from coming here. Majority of Muslims are not terrorist extremist so to treat them as such is unjust. While working as a counterterrorism prosecutor Javad Mohammed Khazaeli, used data and facts to prove a person was a terrorist or had terrorist ties. But President Trump realized on
On the surface, Islam and Christianity appear to have very little in common, however, as you get deeper into areas such as rituals, beliefs, ethics, founders, and sacred objects, the two show strong mutual similarities, particularly in the fundamental areas, while being totally different. In this essay I will compare and contrast many of the facets that make up the worlds largest and most recognized religions, Christianity and Islam.
In Wikipedia religion is defined“A religion is an organized collection of beliefs, cultural systems, and worldviews that relate humanity to an order of existence.” There are approximately more than four thousand religion in the world. Christianity and Islam are part of the major significant religion.
Buddhism is a religous and philosophy belief propagated by the Buddha, a teacher from India who lived between the 4th and 6th century before the common era. The teachings of the Buddha whose real name was Siddharwa spread through Asia and to the West after his death as it was practised by the followers.
Ever since the birth of America we have been a country built by immigrants. Many immigrants today come from the war torn middle east and latin America. Unfortunately many associate these immigrants with problems the country is facing leading the Trump administration to take drastic measures to secure our borders. Since the first time Trump mentioned a Muslim ban in December of 2015 many have called into question the legality of his plan to keep the country and our borders secure. On January 27 Trump signed an executive order entry into the U.S from citizens from seven predominantly muslim countries which include Iraq, Syria, Iran, Sudan, Libya, Somalia and Yemen. Ever since many problems have arisen regarding the legality of Trumps ban. In California Judge Dolly M. Gee ordered that Ali Khoshbakhti Vayeghan who had been deported to Iran be allowed to return to the U.S arguing that the order violated 14th Amendment and that it also violated one
Compare and Contrast Christianity and Islam Nature of the Afterlife and Nature of the Divine
A recent, and dramatic turn of event that has taken place in the United States has been the shoot-out at the nightclub in Orlando, Florida. Nearly one day after the massacre, Donald Trump had once again forced the issue of Muslims immigrating to the United States. The shooter of that night had pleaded allegiance toward ISIS (Islamic State of Iraq and Syria). However, the gunman was not an outsider who immigrated to the country, he was instead a local citizen, born in New York. Donald Trump has also called out against President Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton for not addressing the issue as “radical Islamic terrorism.” Clinton shot back calling his behavior “undignified” for a running candidate for president. Sam Frizell of Time added that “she (Clinton) lambasted Trump for doubling down on his call to ban Muslims from immigrating to the United States.” Clinton strongly views the issue as a dangerous move against Muslims because it sends a negative message around the world. Her perspective of the argument is also strongly concerned about the nation’s safety. Clinton’s words toward Trump dictating "he’s strengthening the terrorists’ argument,” shows that her conscience believes that banning Muslims from entering the United States would spark an outrage in the Muslim countries, moreover, its injustice toward the situation gives the United States a detrimental
Similarities and Differences in Islam and Christianity With Respect To Beliefs in Afterlife and Nature of God
Christianity and Islam are wide spread religions which impact the lives of believers spiritually. Both religions have had substantial impact on the course of history and have formed the basis of many countries laws and are highly recognized by governments. Though Christianity is more widely known, they both pose the same challenges to each other. Considering the similarities and differences of Christianity and Islam, it can be said they are both very different.
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
The commonality among each of these religions is that they all require a set of rules to reach a particular end goal. These quotes differ regarding the manner in which they are presented. By manner, I mean the nature of the quote. Judaism and Islam provide very similar passages. They both share distinctive qualities which require one to follow a set of rules or as a result, be punished for not doing so. Their moral law is dependent on how you love, and obey the Lord. The Quran threatens that if one is to not obey to the standard that is expected one shall not be guided and, in a sense, be left just as one has has left or abandoned the Lord.
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.
Many religions have impacted the thoughts and beliefs of millions around the world. Two of these religions are Islam and Christianity, both of which are similar, yet, incredibly different. Christianity, which had come long before Islam, is known to be the root of Islam which makes sense since the two religions share much in common. They are both Abrahamic and monotheistic religions which means they share the belief in only one true existing God and are rooted to have many similarities. Their differences, however, are what make them two distinctive religions, which is why they are recognized and classified for being so. Similarities and differences arise in many topics and situations, but differences take over and divide them into
Nowadays , citizens often hear about the troubles Islamic radicals brings to countries, especially in the U.S. and Europe. It is known that people have several opinions on this particular religion, but the real question to be asked is whether Islam is really a religion of violence or peace. There are many Islamist groups- Isis and al-Quaida for example- that are responsible for acts of terrorism. For instance, the bombing of the twin towers in 2001 in New York, the London terrorist bombings that killed 52 innocent lives, the many bombings and attacks in Paris, etc. Personally, I think Islam is neither a religion of peace nor violence. Islam is not revolving around the idea of violence, but they don’t necessarily act in a peaceful manner. Moreover, Islam is not just a religion to its followers, it is more an ideology where its followers live for their religion, I think this is why they go to such extreme measures.
In the city of Mecca, in what is today Saudi Arabia, was born the Prophet Muhammad. For Prophet Muhammad, the founder of a monotheistic religion that has over billion and a half believers, a religion that would employ a great influence on civilization and the history of humanity in general. What religion is that has over a billion followers and has an influence on a civilization? That religion is Islam. Muhammad not only was the founder of this monotheistic religion. Muhammad also had an influence on what will be the two main branches of Islam: Sunni and Shi’a. Who are the Sunni and Shi’a? What led to these two main branches? What are some of their similarities and differences? The Muslims have been battling to see who is the rightful caliph
Be it resolved that the United States fully repeals the travel ban due to the discriminatory effects it has on some people. The travel ban is a terrible executive order that was put into place by President Trump on january 27th of 2017. The travel ban was put into place to protect the United States by not allowing any citizen from seven muslim countries to enter. These seven countries are; Iran, Iraq, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Syria, and Yemen. These countries were targeted due to supposed risks of these countries harboring extremists groups such as Isis or Al-qaeda. According to the article “Trump's executive order: Who does travel ban affect?,” by BBC News, “ The travel ban suspensions the US refugee program for 120 days, places and indefinite ban on Syrian refugees and suspends all visas of incoming immigrants of the seven banned countries” (BBC News). The seven countries are heavily muslim, however most of the people in these countries are no threat to the United States in any way. Why is the United States completely discriminating the islamic religion when we are founded on the basis of religious freedom. Not everyone who is muslim is a terrorists so why are we punishing a lot of good people for the actions of very few. Most of the terrorist attacks that have happened since 9/11 have been carried out by a U.S citizen, so are we going to start deporting all muslim U.S citizens? The islamic religion is not the problem it's the radicalistic idea that some people
