Shias Beliefs About Khums

Among the minorities, people with an Islamic religious viewpoint are treated differently throughout America. A dark day in United States history,

In conclusion, the rapid regions of Islam kept its original foundation while refreshing its political and economic design. The administrative phases of Islam connect to the experimental reign of classical Rome, as they also experimented with multiple political leaders- using more than 26 leaders! Islam’s continuity of Sharia’s policy also connects to the American loyalty to early documents, as the United States’ government continues to reference the Declaration of

Following the terror attacks in The Unites States in 2001, there has been an increase in Islamophobia in the Western World. Following 9/11, respondents indicate that levels of implicit or indirect discrimination in The United States rose by 82,6% and experiences of over discrimination by 76,3% (http://jiv.sagepub.com/content/21/3/317.short). A combination of how Arabs and Muslims are portrayed in the media, with the increase of organized terrorist groups and refugees since the Arabic Spring, makes this a big political challenge today. This bibliography is written to get an overview of why Islamophobia has increased and the challenges that comes with the rise of Islamophobia.

The prominent effect Islam had on Muslims everyday thoughts and actions, portrays how essential the impact of God was in social and governmental relations. Muslim religion was influenced by both the Christians and Jews. Under the guidance of Muhammad the Prophet, Islam became both a meaningful faith and way of life. Unlike just simply “adding” a church like the Christian religion, Islam society was expected to be governed. Their political and religious views and decisions had to be intertwined as one, proving the effect Islam had on everyday lives. For example, the history book The Making of The West, had written, “Arabs had long been used to

It grew from a local, oppressed faith that was pioneered by Muhammad and his close family and friends, to a force that united nations under one of the largest empires that the world had ever seen. It would have never become what it was without the incorporation of whole populations into the faith, the unified network of trade it provided, and the scholarly developments it pioneered and renewed. Without the deliberate conquests of different nations, Islam would not have grown so rapidly. If Islam had not grown so large, so quickly, the entirety of Afro-Eurasian trade would not have been so standard and unified. Likewise, if there was no such established network of trade, the ideas and innovations of Muslim education would not have become so widespread. Therefore, it is evident that each of these effects of the Islamic faith and its empire needed the others. Without all of them, Islam would not have been so influential to the history of Afro-Eurasia and would have produced a very different outcome that would have affected the history of Islam up until

Historically, the United States of America has a long history of shaping its ideology from a series of significant events that hold unspeakable brutality. This leads Americans to draw conclusions, which often leads to denouncing a particular body of people. For example, the enslavement of African Americans, the decimation of Native Americans, and the internment of Japanese Americans during World War II. Currently, while enduring several years in the U.S., Muslim Americans face similar difficulties as a human being would. However, these hardships differ because they include U.S. discrimination triggered by 9/11, current terrorist events, and negative reinforcement from the media and the general public. Muslim Americans experience the harmful effects of terrorism because acts of terrorism influence the way the U.S. views and thinks about Muslims.

In addition, the post 9/11 stigma has disturbed the American-Muslim mentally. In a brief report conducted by an American Psychologist,"Post 9/11: The Impact of Stigma for Muslim Americans," Saera Khan examines the communities experience. Khan conducted 12 studies on different populations and collected the data through her personal contacts outside the mosques, community centers and organizations. The survey involved 11 questions regarding how Americans view Muslims and Arabs. The data was collected between 2003 and 2006 after the two years of 9/11 incident. At that time there was a high wave of hatred towards Muslims in the American society. The type of questions which were asked were about how people were looking them after 9/11? Many of

This paper discusses the impact 9/11 has had on the lives of American Muslims in the last ten years. It talks about discrimination against Muslims in the workforce, employment opportunities, the legal system, and through public perception. It also discusses how American Muslims responded to these societal changes and how Islamic organizations have been trying to address the problem of discrimination through conducting public awareness campaigns as well as supporting civil rights of American Muslims in courts and in the media.

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

Freire (2006) writes, “Almost always the oppressed, instead of striving for liberation tend to become oppressors” (p.45). This quote embodies the significant rise in Islamophobia after the events of 9/11. As a response to attack by a select group of radical Islamic terrorists, Americans reacted with aggression towards all Muslims. The increase in monitoring of immigrants on a governmental and policy level affected, and continues to affect, a large number of immigrants from the Middle East. However, some of the most demoralizing changes that impacted the lives of these immigrants occurred in civil society where there was an increase in harassment, physical abuse, and discrimination from landlords, employers and educators (Bozorgmehr, 2012).

Since the 9/11 attacks in America, Muslims have become familiar and tolerant to normal practices of racial profiling and workplace discrimination (Khan, 2012). Such prejudice have also extended to hesitations in giving charity to mosques or Muslim organizations on the basis that they may be linked to an extremist faction or violent activity. American Muslims have experienced a difficult time

Islamic studies has become a subject of strategic importance in our multicultural society. With all of the political upheaval and ever present fear of extremism and terrorism in the world today, it is essential to promote the understanding of Islam and the role Muslims have in the contemporary world. To do this, one must first have an understanding of the culture and religious tenets surrounding Islam, compare and contrast these beliefs with Christianity and Judaism, and discuss how the perceptions or

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

This paper takes a closer look at Islamophobia in the United States. Islamophobia is defined as irrational fear of Islam and Muslims. Is Islamophobia real or are Muslims, as some suggest, simply taking advantage of the religious freedoms guaranteed in our Constitution and the tradition of pluralism and acceptance. Others say Islamophobia exists because Muslims refuse to integrate into American society. Yet others will say Muslims refuse to integrate because of Islamophobia. “American Islam” and “mainstream Muslim” are both terms that have become highly politicized and must be understood specific to time and place. The media also plays a role in catering to the fear of Islam and Muslims by Americans. In this paper I will go into beliefs, as

Across our country today, discrimination is evident in hate crimes and protests, even more so after the 2016 Presidential election. The events of Charlottesville, VA. represent one of the many examples of religious hatred and divisions. When white supremacists shouted “the Jewish oligarchs and the capitalists and the bankers want to enslave the entire world” they were referring to old, ugly stereotypes (Times). These white supremacists are still cling to the view that Jews are collectively greedy and evil. The hatred doesn’t end with Judaism. There have been “35 attacks on mosques — including vandalism, break-ins and death threats” that have occurred in just the first few months of Trump’s presidency (Goldberg). People are verbally and physically attacking Muslims based on misunderstanding their religious beliefs. The most prominent issue today is demonstrated by President Trump’s travel ban. The ban attempts to block access to America from Muslim-dominated countries despite the fact that “no citizen from the barred countries has carried out a fatal terrorist attack in the USA” (Board). Many Americans wish to deny Muslims access to America based on the stereotype that all Muslims are radical terrorists. When people today have negative perceptions of religious groups other than their own, these perceptions create a divided America.
