The Causes Of Blasphemy In Pakistan

The university group of students wanted to add to the volatile situation, by calling for a demonstration that would take place at the mosque. A local lawyer had come into place to file a statement to light Section 295 of the Criminal Code. The lawyer was of Bangladesh decent and also an Islamist sought to accuse four people within Footwear Shoe Company, all of which were non-Bangladesh born. The statement was filed on the same exact day as the article was written, was written to accuse them of deliberately wanting to outrage the religion of Muslims by engraving the calligraphy of “Allah”. This was said to offend the religious feelings of the millions of Muslims, and were supposed to do whatever it takes to protect the sanctity of “Allah.

Following the terrorist attacks of 9/11, Muslims everywhere began to be wrongfully persecuted and attacked. They have also since been denied equality in the workplace as “Americans with Muslim names have a harder time finding a job” and “American Muslims have experienced increased job discrimination since 2001” (Epstein 53). Without the ability to find a job, not only are Muslims effected in their daily lives, they are also unable to find a source of income, hindering them from supporting their families. Muslim religion can also cause further disturbances because there are several “law-abiding Muslims who are unfairly targeted and punished simply because they are Muslim” (qtd. in Epstein 52). This exemplifies the idea

Islam, meaning peace in Arabic, is one of the most misunderstood religions in the world. Many people view it as a religion of hatred and crime, while others view it as peace. Islam is the world’s second largest religion and the youngest. There are approximately 1.57 billion Muslims in the world today. The origin of Islam, Prophet Muhammad, and beliefs of Islam affect how Islam is being taught and viewed today.

The Quran, Islam’s foundation, also preaches many of the values familiar to democracy. Bhutto references the Quran, stating “(Allah)... created people of different views and perspectives… and that diversity is good” (178). She goes on to offer her interpretation of the holy book, saying “the message of the Quran empowers people with rights (democracy)” (178). By using multiple references, Bhutto establishes her knowledge of the governing body of Pakistan and the Islamic religion. It is difficult for the reader to doubt her authority on the subject.

Legendary boxer and famous figure for the Muslim community, Muhammad Ali once said: “The word 'Islam ' means 'peace. ' The word 'Muslim ' means 'one who surrenders to God. ' But the press makes us seem like haters.” As Ali points out the United States public today has criminalized the religion of Islam and this has caused discrimination on the structural level. Citizens in the United States expect that they are not subject to marginalization and be treated equally. Instead what Muslim constituents are finding is that they are being treated unfairly by law enforcement. Undermining the laws of the United States sets a dangerous precedent for the future. Thus it is absolutely crucial that the United States federal

During Adnan’s bail hearing, his entire mosque had arrived at the courthouse to give him support and donations for bail. The prosecutor, Vicki Wash used this against Adnan stating, “he can use resources from Pakistan as well. It’s our position, your honor, that if you issue bail, then you are issuing him a passport under these circumstances to feel the country. We do not want another Steinbein situation, your honor” (10). She used this argument to show how Adnan’s religious background would help him escape after receiving bail, comparing him to another incident where a bailed Pakistani man fled to Pakistan and could not be convicted.

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.

Throughout the depths of recorded history Muslims have constantly committed mass murders upon innocent people in the name of Islam. According to long established conventional Islamic views, Muhammad’s revelations start the Qur’an off in 610. Dating back to as early as 627, the Prophet Muhammad’s followers have been recorded of murdering large numbers of “non-believers” and even believers for that matter (Ye 'or, 1985). While researching wars declared in the name of Islam, the words “convert” or “die” (more often than not they surfaced together making the claim “convert or die”) surfaced exceedingly often. Despite the common belief imprinted into the minds of nearly every United States citizen/civilian whom attended or is attending public school with the U.S., oppressing a people based off of their religious beliefs has the ability to be beneficial to the world on a global scale. Muslims should not be allowed to act as political advocates considering Islam gives approval of segregation, provides obligations of the religions followers to commit senseless acts of violence, and because of the fact that Islam allows systematic lying as a religious policy. Throughout this research essay we will discuss facts in regards to traditional and modern Islamic ideology while deciding whether someone of such beliefs has a place in a position

On February 21, “According to a complaint filed by Singh and the Sikh Coalition, a female passenger heard Singh speaking Punjabi to another man on the bus and falsely accused him of making a terroristic threat. As a result, he and the other man, Mohammed Chotri an immigrant from Pakistan, where Punjabi is also spoken were arrested in Amarillo, Texas,

The United States, where the grass is greener and dreams are made comes a horror story. Racism breaks free and justice cannot be judged because of the unlimited bias towards. Our fathers who created this great nation have established a constitution which states the freedom of speech and religion. However, recently it has been shown that freedom of religion is a term used freely until the opportunity to practice that right approaches. Some believe that all muslims are radical and cannot be reasoned with; however, this is not true and the majority of muslims cause no more threat at all.

One of the biggest issues in our world today is the issue and conflict that the West is having with Islam. For almost the past two decades, it seems that the West And Islam have been in constant conflicts with each other. This papers will discuss and compare the opinions of Bernard Lewis in The Roots of Muslim rage and Nicolaas van der Zee in The Roots of Muslim rage Revisited, and their respective opinions on this issues. Both authors in many ways fundamentally disagree with each other, when searching for a cause and solution to this problem. This essay will discuss the valid points made by both authors, and will attempt to show how both authors have valid and sensible arguments on the issue on hand.

In 1900, the world was made up of 12.3 % Muslims. In 2010, The number rose to 22.5% making Islam the fastest growing religion in the entire world, exceeding even the growth rate of Christianity. The American Muslim Council has estimated that there are 2,000 mosques and Islamic community centers in the United States. More than 80% percent have been built in the past 12 years.

Ever since September 11, 2001 Americans along with the majority of the world’s population have been skeptical of Muslims. It’s a sad reality but it’s hard for people to think of a Muslim without linking them directly to terrorism. But these assumptions aren’t totally out of the blue—the Muslim’s religion, Islam, teaches a low tolerance for other religions and the Islamic government has no separation of church and state, so it’s only normal to assume that their government shall have a low tolerance as well—some however, immediately translate this into terrorism. Through the Islamic government and religion, relations with foreign countries, and separation amongst themselves it can be concluded that Islamic Fundamentalism is clearly a threat

As a result of Islamophobia; there were a lot of reports of assaults, attacks on mosques and other hate crimes against Muslims last years, . Muslims have been shot and killed, execution-style, in their living room, and outside of their mosques. They have

The blasphemy laws under the Pakistan penal code were introduced around 1985 Zia ul Haq, a military dictator, to protect the rights of the Muslim majority of Pakistan. Since then, these laws have been used to terrorize the minorities of Pakistan, particularly
