There are instances were people commit terrorist attacks on citizens or people that they have personal issues with and claiming to be apart of a terrorist organization like ISIS. For example there was a shooting recently in Orlando Florida where the culprit targeted homosexual, killing 49 people and wounded 53 others. At first people who heard about it assumed that there was a connection with ISIS and later found out that it was indeed a hate crime. This happened because this specific terrorist group is relevant. The experience of these bullies is effecting the entire Islamic culture. Muslim citizens all over the world are now fearful of freely expressing their traditions, because they're worried that they will be shunned and hated for there “resemblance” the these different terrorist organizations. Back in the mid-1500s the Roman Empire persecuted any suspected Christians so throughout the world people had to his there faith in their god in fear of both their and their families death. “Long after the threat of persecution has past hidden christians in Japan are still closeted.

However, this encyclopedia focuses only on race and ethnic. Barry Troyna the provider Race Relations: As Activity.

Race relations had gotten worse than the past. People of different race have call each other names that is offensive and inappropriate. In the past it had been used repeatedly against each other race. But, in the years that follow the year 1930 the words became more frequently. This cause race being a problem for some people. There were protests and riots before about this topic and people are worried. As Krissah Thompson and Scott Clement wrote

The summary of the chapter is how Republicans used resentment and racial motives to win votes and trump us all. Republicans were literally working over-time to paint a horrible picture of Hillary Clinton to ensure Donald Trump was viewed as the better choice, and the way it was done was to have people believe Democrats were weak at budget spending that took from minorities to give to the poor or low class. and with that caused several reasons for white voters to be persuaded to chose Trump even when the reasons for not choosing him were clear. but whites felt as if they were losing their power in the world as minorities by not having republicn represent them in the united states and with that. Republicans used racism, highlighted black on white crime and cultural issues that the United statess were facing at the time of election to drive out voters.

In the late 1800s through the mid-1900s, life in America was divided: there were Jim Crow Laws, Black Codes, segregated schools, and voting restrictions. The years following the Civil War proved to be a tremendous struggle for both African Americans and Whites alike. Many reforms regarding racial inequality took place; however, majority of the White population were angered by all these changes. Tension stirred, violence occurred, and protests arose. Today, racial tension still exists, but to a lesser degree. Over the past 150 years in American history, race relations have slowly improved, but some conflicts still remain.

With the case study of the Los Angeles riots, they showcase the tensions and violence mainly between Korean Americans and African Americans, and bring into perspective why minority groups might be hostile towards each other. These antagonisms between minority groups in the U.S. have been a product of obstacles and structures placed on them. Some of the problems and structures that have led to antagonism between groups of color have first been with the way race is perceived, mainly in a black and white paradigm. There has also been an avoidance to connect class rather than race as another structure that causes tensions between groups. Tactics from the dominant groups (whites), like divide and conquer has led to tensions between groups that

As diverse as the city of Los Angeles is, it has a history of racial tension and civil unrest. From 1910, the start of the Mexican Revolution and World War I when President Theodore Roosevelt instituted the “brown scare” (Coerver, 2001), to 1913, when the California Alien Land Act prohibited Japanese immigrants and citizens of Japanese descent from owning land in California, to 1934, when 3000 Chinese immigrants were displaced to make way for Union Station, to 1942, when 110,000 Japanese Americans were forced into internment camps, Los Angeles has historically been the center of racial controversy and tension (“Year by Year,” 1999). In 1943, Los Angeles was also full of young African Americans and Mexican Americans trying to protest the racism in the American culture by expressing themselves with their own music, clothing, culture, and style (Cosgrove, 1985). By the time of the Sleepy Lagoon murder in 1942, the stage had been set for the Zoot Suit Riots that occurred in June 1943. Although the riots only lasted ten days, the ramifications ranged from cultural repression on the part of many Mexican American families, to political activism on the part of others, and the beginning of reform within the Los Angeles Police Department.

Overtime racial tension has subdued in America. However, the 9/11 attack on the World Trade Center has caused Americans to be conscious of people who are or are suspected to be of South Asian descent. This has resulted in threats, brutal beatings, and sometimes murder. In an article titled Inderjit Singh Mukker, Chicago-Area Sikh, Allegedly Attacked And Called 'Terrorist,' 'Bin Laden' it says, ”...Inderjit Singh Mukker, an American citizen and father of two, was on his way to a grocery store when a driver began taunting him. He finally pulled over to the side of the road to let him pass, but the driver instead pulled up in front of his car, reached into the car and repeatedly punched Mukker in the face. Mukker lost consciousness, lost blood

The term “The Negro Problem" was used throughout the 1950 's and 60 's as a slang description of the racial tension between black and white Americans. The two essays in "The Fire Next Time" talk about the problem that the African American community faced, but from different perspectives. The author is writing to his nephew and is trying to make him understand that the situation is intolerable and not likely to change. He suggests that instead of reacting from a place of anger and hate, that the nephew should fight and strive to change the situation rather than confronting it violently. That his nephew and even the community as a whole should try to almost outsmart the whites by being the opposite of what they think of them. To prove them wrong and hopefully change the way they are looked at. He suggests a change of attitudes on both sides, to spread love and understanding instead of hate and animosity.

The racial tension that existed in the twentieth century had a social impact on blacks and whites alike. The blacks were forced into a life of oppression and bleak poverty that strangled any efforts to rise above their social standing. The whites were forced into a lifestyle of bigotry and prejudice to maintain the status quo and to keep the black populace in their place. It was an extraordinary pressure for both races fraught with the pressure of always having to remember one’s place in society. The authors of the two historiographies demonstrate the conscious effort it took to preserve the segregation of the south. On the one hand, Richard Wright, the black child, soon learned that he had to always act as a subservient and never show that he was a human with hopes and aspirations for a different future, by always suppressing ego and machismo. Whereas on the other, Melton McLaurin showed how he always had to act the gentleman and have the upper hand in front of his black, inferior friends. The trauma experienced by both races, although different in nature, proved to be a burden for both.

In 1995, new immigration laws transfigure the American society. As a result, races group together to defend their customs. The current immigration problem also increases the racial tension facing America today. One result of racism in the United States is hate groups and gangs. Both have only one thing in common--violence! The very use of the term of color - which embraces blacks, . . . Asians, Native

The objective of this work is to examine Islam, a highly controversial sensitive issue in today's world and specifically to examine the misconceptions, beliefs, and values of those of the Islamic faith. Most people think that the majority of Muslims live in the Middle East, while in reality there are more people of the Islamic faith living in Indonesia. Islam, just as Judaism and Christianity, is practiced in various cultures, serves to shape, and is shaped by those cultures. This study examines the perceptions of those of the three faiths in various countries and how they view one another and seek to answer how a level of threat is felt by those belonging to these three religious groups in various countries. Countries examined in this study include those of the United States, Great Britain, India, Pakistan, and the Middle East. The depth of understanding or the teachings of Islam among the various religious groups in these various countries will also be examined in terms of how these understandings impact the ways that Muslims and non-Muslims interact and communicate with one another.
