Since the incident of 9/11 occurred, many people have debated over the Muslim faith and its practices. Muslim extremist groups such as Al-Qaeda and ISIS have affected the name of Islam causing majority of Muslims to be blamed. Recently, a tragic event that occurred in Paris killing over a hundred people left the people of France shaken with fear and anger. These events have lead to an increasing amount of hate and tension towards Muslims all over the world from protests at mosques, where Muslims go to pray, and anti-Muslim rally’s. Islamophobia is a massive issue that has steered European counties like France to enforce laws that ban religious garments that Muslims wear such as the niqab and burqa. Some people perceive these garments to be

The Gullah/Geechee people are a group of Black Americans from North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, and Florida. The Gullah/Geechee people are a distinctive group of African Americans that have been the most successful in preserving customs and traditions from their Africa culture. This group has maintained their native tradition and customs in America more than any other African American group. According to National Geographic ”An environmental impact statement published in 2005 estimated that 200,000 people of Gullah and Geechee heritage live along the southeast coast” (Otterbourg, 2014, p 11). They speak a creole language similar to Sierra Leone Krio, tell African folktales, make African-style handicrafts such as baskets and carved walking

After the Brussels massacre that took place on March 22nd, a question of faith rose surrounding the sanctity of the Islamic faith. In an article meant to expose answers to this very question John Kasich brings up a point that when people claim France is at war with Islam, they actually should be referring to radical Islam. This point pulled further controversy as those who were not Islamic began to wonder if the faith condoned suicide bombings in the name of expelling infidels and bringing the coming of the Caliphate. Another case mentioned in the same article details the prosecution of the Blind Sheikh, whose terrorist group attempted to bring down the World Trade Center back in 1993. While the U.S. government had attempted to paint

If a caucasian person is involved in a shooting, it is not made a big deal, but if a Muslim person is involved in a shooting, they must be a terrorist. Ever since the crusades, there has always been hard feeling between Christians and Muslims. But after various terrorist attacks in the name of Muslim religion, it seems that there are hard feeling between the whole world and Muslims. Muslims are vilified, hated, and even called terrorists. But, is it justified to profile Muslims as terrorists? No, it is not justified to profile muslims as terrorists. Those on both sides all have their own opinion and reasons, being justified or not. Those who say yes are forgetting that not all terrorists are muslims, the muslim religion is not about terrorism, and Islam is actually very similar to Christianity. Common sense tells us that a few terrorists do not define a religion, and Muslims are just as angered at terrorists as everyone else. Profiling all Muslims as terrorists, as natural as it is for some, is contrary to the very basics of the freedom of religion in this country, along with what most consider common sense.

Immigrants from Islam practicing countries are extremely unfairly stereotyped as terrorists, this stereotype is even more severe if they are a practicing Muslim. This stereotype stems from radical Islam groups such as Al Qaeda and Isis performing extreme acts of violence in the name of their religion. A religion that preaches peace and acceptance. There is an emphasis on the word radical in this context, as these groups are formed by extremely radical "followers" of Islam. Often times non-radical practicing Muslims will refrain from wearing their hijab's or other religious attire in fear that they will be terrorized for their practice. The acts of terrorizing Muslim immigrants has become common practice in the last two decades, following events

Muslim women all throughout the world are being discriminated against because of the clothing that they wear. After recent terrorist attacks, the stigma of Muslims being terrorists has become even more apparent. This has led to multiple harassments and hate crimes against Muslim women, primarily in Western countries. The discrimination has become so bad that some are suggesting that women who practice Islam shouldn’t wear hijabs or other veils while in public. It sounds like a great solution, but, in a way, would also violate their rights of religion. There’s also the fact that women in hijabs are viewed as being controlled by men. However, there are many Muslim women who are very independent and are not wearing the veils because a man told them to do so.

Conflicts within religions cause a division in society over time. In the early Islamic era, various conflicts occurred between Muslims. Early Islamic conflicts resulted in an ideological diverge after the death of the prophet, Muhammad PBUH. The most significant conflict, which occurred 1400 years ago and still reflects on Islamic society until this day, is the cleavage of Sunni and Shi'a. It's important to study the early Islamic history to understand the early Muslim division. The questions that will be researched on this subject are how and why the early division between Muslims occurred, and what the results of the division of Sunni and Shi'a were in Islamic history.

There are many challenges young Muslim’s are facing. People are in danger and more than 250,000 people have lost their lives. A lot of war crimes like murder, torture, and rape have been going on. Families move because they have to and when they move they still get treated harsh and face racism.

Drawing on the article “the politics of veiling, gender and the Muslim subject: on the limits and possibilities of anti-racist education in the

Islamophobia is the fear of Muslims, or the religion of Islam, according to BBC (2017). Some people blame all Muslims for terrorist attacks, that are caused by terrorist groups such as Al Qaeda, Isis, and Boko Haram. These organizations allegedly follow Islam, I say they allegedly follow Islam, because if they had indeed studied Islam, they would understand that Islam is a religion of peace, not terrorism. The word “Islam” means submission to God’s will and obedience to God’s law. It derives from an old Arabic word meaning “peace”. (What is Islamophobia? – CBBC News Round. (2017, June 19).

Additionally, there are a few panels where Marji explains how, one’s clothing becomes an “ideological sign”. She makes the comparison of fundamentalist clothing and the modern/ progressive. Despite all, everyone does follow the most basic rules, and for many people the changes are not merely cosmetic; many people do in fact change their beliefs and ideologies to match the Islamic Republic because this is the only way for them to protect themselves or even rise in society. Though Marjane’s family does not change their beliefs, they do have to, for their safety, pretend to be devout while in public to not be seen as the Other.

Islam is the religion that is followed through Muslims about the teachings through Muhammad by the prophet Allah. Today Islam is considered as one of the most prominent religions followed throughout the world. Though Islam is thought of has one of the most popular religion across the world, many still lack the understanding of what Islam is. Following 9/11, the perception of Muslims changed thus proposing the idea of Islamophobia. Defined by the Oxford English Dictionary Islamophobia is the unfair prejudice or discrimination towards Muslims due to race, religion, or ethnic identity. The idea changed the way that all Muslims were perceived throughout America and the world. Muslims today face discrimination throughout the society. Following 9/11 the Muslim people are being treated unfairly because of their religion by the exclusion of the Muslim culture in American society, Muslims are being targeted and harmed in public, and Muslims are perceived as a terrorist or threat to national security.

The Merriam-Webster dictionary (2015) defines hijab as the ‘traditional covering for the hair and neck that is worn by Muslim women’. According to the Qur’an (24:31), this word refers to ‘… to wrap their covering over their chests…’, which points to the modest sartorial style of Muslim women in general. It is important to note that Muslim women in hijab are constantly displayed in both everyday life and various media platforms. As such, donning a hijab becomes the most visible distinction between a Muslim woman and those of other faiths prescribing to Western ideals. The hijab, therefore, acts as the identifying symbol of the Muslim woman.

The burkini is a type of swimsuit for women. It is also suitable for Muslim women to wear for swimming because it covers the whole body except the face, hands and feet. Wearing burkini became a worldwide topic of discussion when France banned the use or wear this swimsuit, citing a possible show support for terrorists including Islamic State. However, clothing ban is a gross violation of civil rights and cultural rights.
