Make America Great Again Summary

On September 11, 2001, 19 men simultaneously hijacked four commercial airliners in what is, to this day, the single largest successful act of terror perpetrated against the United States of America. The attack, which was orchestrated by al-Qaeda leader Osama Bin Laden, ignited a perpetual “War on Terror” and thrust Western tensions with the Islamic world into the social and political spotlight. Since then, overarching American attitudes towards Muslim countries have grown increasingly more hostile, with President Donald Trump perpetuating this unfortunate rhetoric to an even greater degree than his predecessors. In his article “Why do So Many Americans Fear Muslims? Decades of Denial about America’s Role in the World,” Jon Schwarz explores Americans’ attitudes towards the Islamic world, raising valid points regarding the United States’ role in provoking

The United States, which is the most culturally diverse nation on the planet, suffers from stereotyping people. After 9/11 and to this day, people continue to stereotype middle easterners as terrorists, even though the people who cause terror-inducing events in the United States are usually

The recent election of Trump in particular has increased the violence and conflict agianst Muslims and Muslim Americans. Even before the Election of Trump, Muslims were looke at in suspicion because of the attacks on American soil on September 11, 2001. The easy identifications of followers of Islam is their head dresses and clothing, this makes them a easy target for violence. One example of the increasing tensions is attacks of Muslims and anything affiliated with Islam. On March 27, 2002 in Florida, a man drove his truck into Mosque attempting to kill anyone in his way. This is just one example of how Muslim American are de-humanized and targeted for their religous beliefs. This is a very apparent way that they are targetted but another way is politically. Some political catidatees are trying to seclude and edge Muslims out of inherent rights. Because of one event, the attacks on Setember11, 2001 a whole culture and people group have recieved immence seclution and agression. Though some Muslims are involved in terrosist groups not all are and it is actually a statistic that there is only a small amount of Muslim Terrorist compared to the whole people

With our newly elected president in the White House and trying to make big changes and show America he meant what he was campaigning Trump seems to be make huge budget cuts to many areas of our country. While on the other hand he is giving additional funding to some areas too. Of the many areas that the budget is being cut education, the Environmental Protection Agency, the State department, health and human services, transportation, and the list goes on and on. Of those the two major ones that stand out are the Environmental Protection Agency, which is being slashed by almost thirty-two percent and the State department being cut by nearly twenty-nine percent (Kopan). “Virtually every agency will see some sort of cut, with only

There have been many theories of President Obama and his administration that had backed up the global Islamist militant group known the Muslim Brotherhood, but there is no actual proof or evidence to suggest any support, yet people continue to find some way to degrade Muslims . In 2015, Donald Trump announced his running for the White House, and ever since has been in the middle of controversy over his racist comments. At first, Trump made headlines by calling mexican immigrants murders and rapists, then he attacked the muslim communities. “Donald J. Trump is calling for a total and complete shutdown of Muslims entering the United States until our country 's representatives can figure out what is going on,” (Diamond). Trump is encouraging the people of the United States to have more of a negative outlook on Islam. “I think Islam hates us, the billionaire told CNN 's Anderson Cooper when asked whether the religion was at war with the West,” (Bruton). That comment made by Trump, was related to the shooting in San Bernardino, where a Muslim couple went on a killing spree. Even though the killers were from a Muslim background, anyone could have started a mass murder, but the media kept the focus on their religion. The shooting event of Planned Parenthood in Colorado, Springs, where Robert Lewis Dear Jr. murdered people over religious views. Since Robert Lewis Dear Jr. wasn’t muslim, the media didn’t go into a state of panic.

“Go! Run! Run faster!” yelled Rip Van Winkle as he jumped around his living room cheering on Reggie White and the Green Bay Packers as they faced off with the New England Patriots in Superbowl XXI. “How many times do I have to tell you to be quiet?” exclaimed Dame Van Winkle, Rip’s unadoring and nagging wife. “Fine,” snapped Rip as turned off the TV and marched towards the door, almost tripping over his daughter’s Rapunzel Barbie, “I will just go to David’s house and watch the game.”

President Donald Trump has a tendency to treat the Islamic religion more like a political ideology rather than a religion. Trump's former national security adviser felt the same way, calling the Islamic belief a political ideology. Chief strategist Steve Bannon happens to believe that the United States is in a war against any form of Islamic fascism. The Muslim community has been targeted on various occasions, by both media and Donald Trump. Examples being calling Muslims ‘homophobic,’ by stating that the Muslim community, as a whole, is against the LGBT community. Trump continues to attack the Muslim community through means of labeling too. The U.S. government operates a program aimed at “countering violent extremism,” while this will be present,

Due to recent events in relation to ISIS and extremism, there has been a significant backlash against Muslims and Arabs living in the United States. Extremism has induced fear into the heads of many Americans, inspiring them to protest Islam, equate all Muslims and Arabs with terrorism, and perform hate crimes against them.

Many Muslims, and Arab citizens in general, are treated unfairly for the idiotic notion that all Muslims are terrorists. In 2011 a survey was taken determining how certain countries view Muslims. 57% of Italy’s population respect Muslims, while 28% don’t. In contrast to that, only 40% of the United States of America population respect them and 52% do not(Islamophobia: Understanding Anti-Muslim Sentiment in the West). “In 2001, a 1600% increase in hate crimes toward muslim people was seen as 481 hate crimes were reported in a single year, compared to only 28 the year before,” (Social Change: 9/11). Since the attacks on September 11, hate crimes and racial profiling have gone up in the United States.

In the article, the new president of the United States Donald Trump has made plans to temporarily ban Muslims from entering this country. According to Huffington post, “The reason behind Trump’s decision for the total shut down of Muslims entering the United States is until our country’s representatives can figure out what is going on (Goldberg, 2016).” President Donald Trump discussing his plan through the media has created a great opportunity for the radicalization of the American Islamic population to become easier, which leads to the recruitment for Jihadist terror. The appearance of Trump during his public speech on banning the Muslim culture has been used for recruitment. In addition, a video of Al-Shabaab Terror group

Imagine being hated for your skin color or the way you worship God. Imagine that you live in a world where people persecute you for a crime that you did not commit. For many people, a life that we cannot even begin to fathom is their reality. Millions of believers of Islam and people of Middle Eastern origin are unjustly stereotyped, harassed, and killed over the belief that they are evil. Innocent men, women, and children are held to this type of prejudice in the United States for their faith being wrongly used by extremists. In America, we pride ourselves on being the “Land of Opportunity”, yet many Muslim-Americans are denied that very thing. The subliminal racism that we have towards Muslims because of these radicals prevents us from moving forward as a nation and as human beings. America’s embrace of Islamophobia is more prominent than ever and we need to stop it now.

To Bakar 's point, public figures, such as President-elect Donald Trump, through fear inciting speech, has created a social "us" versus "them" social binary. His call to ban all Muslims is not only distasteful, but he makes an ignorant, un-presidential blanket statement that harms the global perception of Muslim Americans. Last year, it was recorded that 78 mosques had been attacked and 2016 is on track to reach these number of attacks. As a direct result of the recent election, there has inevitably been an increase in anti-Muslim rhetoric and one can only assume that the projection of hate crimes committed against Muslim Americans will continue to rise. People of color are regularly targeted victims of Islamophobic rhetoric—not by these "terrorists"—but instead by those who perpetuate and act on white supremacist misconceptions. These racist groups dehumanize Muslim-Americans for "looking like terrorist" (as if terrorism can be personified) and are wrongly scrutinized based on mere appearance. Even as participants of western democracy, Muslim-Americans often question their role as citizens in a society that has cast them as the "feared other."

Current discrimination toward Arabs or Islamic groups based on the unfounded view of them as terrorists, directly isolate them from the rest of society as Professor Talip Kucukcan says, “Muslims are not able to—or not encouraged to report some of the assaults and threats against imams or physical attacks on Muslim women wearing head scarf and desecration of mosques and other Islamic sites simply because they believe that their complaints will not be taken on board by the authorities” (Kucukcan). Therefore, as a multicultural nation, the U.S. should strive to inform its people about the nonthreatening image of Muslim people to further integrate them into American

Growing up in the 00’s era right after 9/11 in the United States many people feared the Muslim race as a whole. Whenever I saw somebody, of the Muslim race I felt uneasy and scared but this seemed to be socially acceptable and even taught by parents after a tragic event like that; it instilled fear in many. Looking back now, I know I had a big misconception when it came to this. It was not the Muslim race as a whole; it was a small group of extremist known as the Al Qaeda, because of this attack, it created a lot of controversy about the Muslim people. It is now 2017 and we have just elected a new president, President Trump who seems to hold a grudge on the Muslim community. With January coming to a close President Trump has

“President-elect Donald Trump is reportedly preparing to jumpstart a bill in Congress that would ban the Muslim Brotherhood by declaring it a terrorist organization.” During Donald Trump 's campaign to run for President of the United Stated, he stated that he would ban Muslims. The terrorist attacks our country has endured in the past by a few who were represented as an Islamic terrorist group, began a stereotype that all Muslims are terrorist. Trump openly contributes to this stereotype and blankets all Muslims into the same category of a terrorist, and he uses that scapegoat to get support behind his attempt to ban them. The problem with this is that it is putting a lot of the people who are not involved in terrorism but identifies as Muslim in fear for their lives. Muslims should not have to live in fear of being banned for what religion they are apart of, Trump also needs to not be ignorant when it comes to the problems he is causing by scapegoating the Islamic religion and all Muslims. Now that Trump is the President-Elect he needs to reassure everyone that he has the best interest for all people and will not blindly ban Muslims simply because of their religion and the stereotypes placed on them.
