The Role Of Muslim Immigrants In France

America is largely made up of immigrants, and thus it is referred to by many as an immigrant’s nation. The rise in immigrants of the first generation and those of second or third generation is changing the demographics of the United States each day. Duncan and Stephen observe that about “a quarter of U.S. residents are either first-generation immigrants or the second-generation children of immigrants” (109). Most of these immigrants move to the country with the aim of achieving the American dream through career success. We would like to believe that the nation follows through with its American ideology that immigrants are welcomed with open arms, and they will have economic opportunities. However, the process of integration and assimilation of these immigrants has for long been a common debate question. The immigration waves into the United States have occurred in several waves over the past years. In the earlier years, most of the immigrants were from Europe and their assimilation was rather smooth. But, the recent wave of immigrants groups prevalently from Asia and Latin America do not face similar acceptance and open arms as their predecessors.

One of the greatest difficulties in intercultural relations is the acceptance of others due to the perceived threats and anxiety produced. The threat being that one will lose their culture, language, and ‘race’. These feelings give rise to the issue of racism, prejudice, and in some cases violence. With this in mind, we can begin to see why it is hard for some members of a host country to be accepting of immigrants. In Canada, 16% of Canadians believe immigrants take away jobs from locals (Ward & Masgoret, 2006). The increasing migration of immigrants has a strong impact on the host countries; one such impact is an incident in which a Sikh truck driver was physically assaulted in Canada despite Canada being portrayed as a cultural mosaic.

Religion was a major part of New France. Religion had brought several job opportunities for young people and had provided health care, education and help for the less fortunate. According to the missionaries, religion had also “cured” many people of different faith and belief. Overall, religion was responsible for taking care of the Europeans and the First Nations who converted. Before the collapse of Quendake, Jesuits had taken over the Recollets’ work and had designed a mission where they would convert several Ouendats. According to page number 31 of the textbook, “The main purpose of the mission was to convert First Nations people to Catholicism.” These missionaries believed that God had sent them here for a purpose. They wanted to

It is a sacrifice to move to a foreign country and have to change the principles and traditions that have been instilled in an individual since birth. For this reason, in order to adjust to a new culture immigrants not only have to be disposed to discard their original values to adapt to their new nation, but they have to deal with certain barrier in order to assimilate to their new lifestyle. Whether an immigrant is considered first or second generation, the obstacle of learning a new language or struggling with finding balance between the two distinct cultural worlds still remain a challenge.

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

In chapter 8 of the McCloud reading, the book discusses the issues that Muslim immigrants deal with when they move to the western world. The first problem they state is the assimilation and how to integrate their cultural traditions in the western society. Since Muslims are a minority in the western society, we see Muslims are unable to embrace their full culture. Also, there are people who do not accept the different traditions of minorities. Unfortunately, these issues can lead to discrimination and abuse which is also known as Islamophobia. Muslims are treated as second-class citizens in the western society which causes daily challenges to Muslim individuals.

After World Wwar 1, France was desperately in need of laborers and workers due to the 1.5 million soldiers that either died or were injured in combat. (leidenuniv) The low natural population growth as well as the stable peasantry being reluctant to leave their land caused labor shortages throughout france.

This immigration throughout the years greatly impacted France. In the beginning, it reaped all of its benefits, however in the 1950’s it started to receive some of its negative consequences and finally, today France deals with many of the problems/situations that other countries face today on the topic of immigration.
