Muslim Discrimination In The United States

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

This discrimination has lead to 10 percent wage reduction since 9/11 . This also makes it very hard to get hired for a job. According to Sound Vision if a Muslim American is hired “...they are the last hired and the first fired.” Many who own business have noticed a decline in their customers. According to Sound Vision, “Muslim establishments have lost about 40 percent of their business post-9/11.” Muslims are frequently being discriminated against. “Nearly 75 percent of Muslim Americans either know someone who has or have themselves experienced an act of anti-Muslim discrimination, harassment, verbal abuse or physical attack since September 11.” They are being discriminated against because of a few extremists in their religion they can't control .(according to recent study found on Sound

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

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

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

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

The agonizing terrorist attacks of September 9th, 2001 left the country in emotional distress. The United States of America decided to prepare for tragic attacks like this and reevaluated its immigration and foreign policies, the citizens of the US also became united and stronger from these attacks. This ideology that the US has become more united after an attack that killed nearly 3,000 people has become mainstream and may be true in some cases, but many people overlook the impact it had on the millions of Muslim Americans. The Muslim generation before us had its own problems dealing with racial discrimination and hate crimes, many people believed it stop their but this contempt was passed on to my generation. The discrimination I have received has caused me to change my aspirations in order to ensure that no one else receives the treatment I had gotten.

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.

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.

This can be compared to the anti-communist movements during the cold war, where communists were depicted as enemies of the United States and very openly discriminated against, even if those being oppressed were of no relation to the communist party. As Said puts it, “Framing, in other words, paints over a complex reality and, more importantly, shapes our reactions and beliefs to the new reality that it creates, which in turn, perpetuates negative stereotypes and discrimination.” Due to this mentality Muslims from everywhere and of every group are being discriminated against. Many Muslim Americans have been heard saying that after 911, it has become a lot more difficult to live in the United States. Many have said that they had been singled out by airport security officers and been placed under extra scrutiny because of their

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.

In this world there are many uncertainties, but one sure thing is that all men were created equal. Genesis 1:27 says, “So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them.” In God’s eyes every human being is one, regardless of racial, ethnic, physical, or social differences (Galatians 3:28). This is the very mission of Social work. America today is opportunity, and yet a majority of its population is underprivileged and discriminated. One of the populations that experience a brunt of this racial discrimination is the Muslims, and the biggest reason for this is a lack of understanding. People tend to be so blinded by their fear, anger and discomfort that they fail to study who the Muslim people really are. If I was honest, I fail in much the same area. As a social worker, if the Lord called me to work with the Muslim people there would be several things I would need to do as preparation. For example, I would want to study their culture, religion and traditions. I would definitely need to confront my personal bias against the Muslim population, and study the various approaches and methods of intervention that might be effective when working with the Muslim people.

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.

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.
