Religious Discriminatory Practice

A Little Respect for Dr. Foster by Nicholas Kristof reveals to the reader that one action can affect a whole. Groups are looked at a certain way for what an individual in that group did. One person’s actions can affect how others perceive them. However, Kristof uses Dr. Foster as a counterargument against the outlook on evangelicals. Kristof’s use of statistics, case studies, and personal opinions argue that not all evangelicals should be looked at a certain way and that they should be respected all the

The United States is one of the most culturally and religiously diverse countries in the world. The founding fathers of the United States wanted to ensure that its people would have the ability to practice their religion with no threat of persecution. In order to accomplish the goal of religious freedom and continue to ensure that all people of any religion would be free to practice their religion, the United States passed Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 that prohibits an employer from discriminating based on the religious views of its employees. As the citizens of the United States spend a large amount of time in their places of employment, religious practices that these employees feel are necessary for the true observance of their religion must be accommodated by the employers. This law contends that in cases where the accommodation of religious practices of its employees does not create undue hardships, an employer must make reasonable accommodations for employees to practices the beliefs of their religion. As the demographics of the United States continues to change with more religiously diverse people immigrating to the country, employers are coming under more pressure to ensure they are taking all possible precautions to accommodate the religious practices of its employees. These precautions are important as the once an employee has established a bona fide complaint of religious discrimination, the burden of proof then falls on the employer to prove they

way he is “a better Christian than most Christians” he knows (Villarreal 173). Richard refuses to

“What is remarkable about persecuted Christians is their resilience,” said Philpott. “They are not just victims. Understanding this is the key to being in solidarity with them.”

Pastor Caleb Kaltenbach contends that Christianity in America is not the same as Christianity in many other parts of the world, especially those places where Christians face life and death persecution. He believes that because these Christians are faced with extreme circumstances they are able to understand much better than we are what Jesus meant by "love your enemies" and "pray for those who persecute you".

There are Christians who believe that Feuerstein’s internet fame is going to his head, and that his behavior is becoming less Christian like as a result. Garret Glass, a Christian author, describes an instance in which Feuerstein called a bakery that caters to homosexuals. Glass writes that the owner of the bakery hung up on Feuerstein when he ordered a cake that specifically said “we do not support gay marriage” (1). Glass also mentions that, following this call, Feuerstein posted the bakery’s address and phone number online, causing the bakery to suffer a sudden influx of bad reviews concerning their product and staff.

Being a Muslim in America country is a struggle, and ever since 9/11, things have taken a turn for Muslims. When Trump was elected president, the discrimination against Muslims has grown stronger. People need to be educated about Muslim culture and eliminate the perception that every Muslim is a “terrorist.” The community I am looking towards on the University of Kentucky campus is the MSA. The MSA is the Muslim Student Association and their goal is to promote Islam and teach us all about the peaceful nature of the religion. Throughout my paper these 5 sources that I researched played a major role in the Muslim community. My first source was a video called Muslim leaders speak out after mosque fire. My second source was an article called Young

Throughout this book, and especially in part two, the author gives many examples. However, he assumes that most non-believer are hostile towards talking about religion, specifically the Christian faith. Yes, some non-Christians guarded, but some are open and willing to talk, even when they are of another religion. It is crucial to realize that there are some people completely against religion, but a good majority of people are okay and open to talk about what Christians

Professor Niebuhr views interfaith dialogue as a means to overpower the “absolutism” of fundamentalism in all faith traditions. And yet, these are exactly the people who are the most reluctant to participate in discussion with those of other faiths or even other Christian denominations.

Discriminating against the people that believe in the Muslim religion is a rising issue that has broke out to many across the nation. President Trump has even signed a executive order to ban the number of Muslims that enter the country each year as Trump cut the amount of refugees that enter the country in half (Zapotosky, Nakamura, and Hauslohner). In addition, this will help with acts of terror within the country, but looking from the outside it appears as racist. Although, not all Muslims are terrorist, to reduce the amount of attacks is through the ban of Muslims. Also, by doing this it will create about 50,000 more jobs for the Americans. This could help more than just the belief of terrorism; in addition, it can help opportunity for

Keeping the faith is such an all-important aspect in my school; however, the beliefs in my faith have brought an uncomfortable repercussion. Tolerant people are in my school and for them, I am grateful, but intolerant people are also in my school and for them, I am not so grateful. I have ascertained ways to cope and work with such people. Working with people who view your existence as a bane is no easy task, but yet, I have accomplished such a feat. It's hard to work with these people, but it's life, and I am certainly going to experience another occasion like

Even though they were attempting to flee from religious persecution in Europe, Some failed to find that salvation, while others went from being persecuted to being the persecutors. One of the most prominent groups to persecute others in America were the puritans. The average Puritan was described as “cold, hard, bigoted, unimaginative, humorless-terrified by human sexuality and the enemy of all fun” (Religion and American Politics citation). The Puritans were not very tolerant and often punished other religious groups that settled with them; mainly the Quakers and Baptists. Most Quakers and Baptists were shunned from the settlements however, one event resulted in the hanging of four Quakers ( Religion and American Politics citation). Before

For one to be an effective apologist, one must understand what an apologist is … and is not. An apologist defends the faith; he does not apologize for it. An apologist contends for the faith; he is not contentious. An apologist limits himself to his opinion, evidence and rationale; he is not disrespectful of the faith and belief of others. An apologist follows Stendahl’s Rules ; he does not express religious bigotry. An apologist is a champion of Jesus and the Golden Rule; he does not dishonor the admonition of Christ to “love thy neighbor as thyself.” In short, an apologist can disagree without being disagreeable, but an apologist cannot truly defend the faith with errant information, false premises, dishonesty and ignorance.

Why is religious persecution becoming so big lately? Since ISIS has come about the number of people being persecuted for their religion has skyrocketed. The extremist group ISIS is an anti-Semitic group of people. That target Christians, Jews, and other religions. The terrorist group believe that by killing they will receive life.
