The Violence Of Muslim Americans

America has been dealing with external attacks, but has ignored that hate crimes have been on the rise since 2014. America’s biggest threat is seen as ISIS, a terrorist group that has been attacking many countries around the world. Many Muslims have had to deal with the effects of uneducated people, as over

Muslims are one of the most marginalized people in the U.S for their beliefs and their religion but after 9/11 discrimination and hate crimes against them had become even worse.Throughout the U.S people have been “Anti-Islam” and believed that the Muslim’s religion is absurd, want muslims to change their beliefs or, leave the country.According to “Anti-Islman Discourse in the United States in the Decade After 9/11:The Role of Social Conservatives and Cultural Politics”by David D.Belt on page 211-212, talks about how a post on Charisma News with an article title “Why I am Absolutely Islamophobic” was urging at the fact that Muslim-Americans needed to be deported as soon as possible ,or go under sterilization.Also Belt talks about one of Bush’s family friend being,Franklin Graham saying that he thinks the muslim’s religion is “very evil “and “wicked”.One last example a man named Gabriel had said Islam is the real enemy of America and that we supposedly “we will be doomed in war if we don’t realize it”. People are so brainwashed it honestly insane and very ignorant at the things people think about Muslims, its barbaric.They believe what Muslims believe in and their religion is wrong and they should switch to “Christianity” because it is the “American way “ or have them deported because the do not belong there and are “terrorist”.

Immediately affter 9/11, Muslim Americans were victims to more frequent hate crimes and bias incidents. According to the FBI (2002), hate crimes against Muslims rose 1,600 percent between the years of 2000 and 2001; going from 12 hate incidents in 2000 to 93 in 2001. A study conducted immediately after 9/11 showed that 40 percent of Americans felt that the attacks represented the “true teachings of Islam” and that between 2002 and 2003 the number of Americans that thought Islam promotes violence against non-Muslims rose by 14 percent (Panagopoulos, 2006). When Muslims themselves were surveyed, their feelings mirrored the findings in post 9/11 studies: 91 percent of Muslims surveyed believed that discrimination against Muslims in the United

"We are not talking about isolation, we're talking about security, we are not talking about religion, we're talking about security" said Donald Trump. From the newspapers to the news on television, ever since the 9/11 tragedy, America have shown great hatred towards Islam. The media always seem to put us, muslims in negative spot-light and parade islam as a religion that encourages violence. The media shows great discrimination against muslims and help to cause the increase in frequency of islamophobia the past decade. According to the FBI, 94 percent of terrorist attacks carried out inside the United States from 1980 to 2005 have been by non-Muslims. It is a tough journey as a muslim to live in an era of hate crimes against my people.

A common misconception that people from the Middle East are Muslim. Which allows the notion that Islam is synonymous to terrorism. The President of the United States has capitalized on this notion and used it as a weapon of hate. It’s clear that the president has specifically targeted this marginalized group of people due to his woeful ignorance, because of Donald Trump’s election and him directing his attention towards one specific race has been perceived as him normalizing the discrimination towards this group of people. With that being said he has initiated a certain

There are times in which a person's ethnicity could conflict with their nationality, such as when as the population of a nation racially abuses a certain ethnic group. The terrorist attacks on Paris have led to hate crimes against Muslims in America. This racism contributes to the decomposition of Muslim nationality in America and elsewhere in the world.

Today, there are close to six million Muslims living in the United States. In the video Flying While Muslim: Racial Profiling Post 9/11 (2007), it is clear to see that ever since

Throughout the years there have been several hate crimes or laws put in place to put down the muslim community, two of the most recent and most controversial examples of discrimination towards the muslim community would be president donald j. Trumps attempt to pass both a muslim registry and a ban on all muslims coming in the U.S. thankfully the bills weren't passed, this however does show the level in which some americans are willing to go to in order to remove a “threat to society” this also show the change in americans psychi making racism and discrimination socially acceptable more and more when even the government is making it seem acceptable to discriminate thus increasing the amount of hate crimes towards

Imagine walking the same streets as a “sketchy” black man on a dark night, what do you do? Do you cross the street in hopes of avoiding the bulky man’s domineering demeanor? What about when you see a Muslim man walking the street, fully clothed in a thawb? Do you think that he may be the next terrorist to wreak havoc on America? Many Americans’ perception of people unlike themselves has been distorted by the stereotypes against diverse ethnicities and by the discrimination against specific religions. Muslims, among many other groups of people, have been targeted by everyday people because of the actions of people that are of the same race or religion as them.

The recent election of Trump in particular has increased the violence and conflict agianst Muslims and Muslim Americans. Even before the Election of Trump, Muslims were looke at in suspicion because of the attacks on American soil on September 11, 2001. The easy identifications of followers of Islam is their head dresses and clothing, this makes them a easy target for violence. One example of the increasing tensions is attacks of Muslims and anything affiliated with Islam. On March 27, 2002 in Florida, a man drove his truck into Mosque attempting to kill anyone in his way. This is just one example of how Muslim American are de-humanized and targeted for their religous beliefs. This is a very apparent way that they are targetted but another way is politically. Some political catidatees are trying to seclude and edge Muslims out of inherent rights. Because of one event, the attacks on Setember11, 2001 a whole culture and people group have recieved immence seclution and agression. Though some Muslims are involved in terrosist groups not all are and it is actually a statistic that there is only a small amount of Muslim Terrorist compared to the whole people

Two of the planes made a course toward the World Trade Center, flying through the Twin Towers. One plane flew into the Pentagon, while the fourth plane’s passengers fought off the hijackers and crash landed in an empty field in Pennsylvania, killing everyone on board. “The carefully planned attacks killed nearly 3,000 people, making it the worst attack on the United States in history”(Pressler Par.1). Prior to this day, Muslims were treated very similarly to other minorities in America, but once the towers came crashing down, the Muslim population as a whole was treated in a completely different manner. Large amounts of “media coverage immediately after the attacks presented vast amounts of negative images related to Muslims and Arabs in general, thus leading to greater but temporary prejudices toward this group” (Khan and Ecklund Par.33). Al-Qaeda’s attack on 9/11 is how Islamophobia rose in the

Within 8th grade at Lovett, misinformation and stereotypes about Muslims are rife. This can be attributed to the fact that the issue is commonplace in the news, with more than one right-wing politician spreading dangerous stereotypes, wanting to treat Muslims differently, and pushing to deny them access to several things. The main problem lately is the ignorant people who use Muslims as a scapegoat, spread misinformation, and pin unrelated and/or problems that only stem from extremists on all Muslims. Donald Trump, an infamous example, has proposed banning Muslims from all travel to the U.S. He has also called for surveillance of mosques and having all Muslims register themselves to be put in a database. He claims that this is to protect the United States from terrorists, but the number of extremist Muslims who would commit those crimes is very small, much smaller than the number of peaceful Muslims living in the United States. While Ted Cruz doesn’t want to outright ban them from travelling here forever, he does support restrictions on immigration from majority Muslim countries and even a 3 year ban for all of them. He has once even wanted to force all people immigrating to the U.S.

The presence of Donald Trump as he runs for president in the United States and proposes a ban on the entrance of Muslims into the country presents a palpable threat to peace and security, not just of the Unites States but the whole world. His discriminatory stance has caused a spike against Muslims and threaten to drown any anti-racist rhetoric and destroy the multiculturalism that we have strived so long to establish. The anti-Islam protests do one thing and one thing only, and that’s to provide an over whelming reason for young Muslims to turn to another hope. To turn to some place that will accept you for who you. A place that fights to resist the evil and to resist the hate that so many young Muslims feel every single

In the United States, Muslims have become the target of a discernible rise in hate crimes and verbal abuse. As the country continues to reel in the aftermath of the horrific acts conducted by ISIL, Hezbollah, and Hamas; Anti-Muslim sentiment is becoming more widespread and accepted. With Muslim-Americans experiencing an increase in verbal and physical abuse, reports of women wearing hijab being spit at and having their veils torn off, and the burning of mosques occurring more frequently, it becomes impossible to not wonder how it has become possible for attacks on Islam and Muslims to be accepted as a natural response in America. Public opinion directly affects the treatment of Muslim-Americans. Some argue that Islamophobic rhetoric churned

The connection between Islam and terrorism was not intensified until the 9/11 attack on the World Trade Center that pushed the Islamic faith into the national and international spotlight (Smith, 2013). As Smith (2013) articulated, “Many Americans who had never given Islam a second thought before 9/11 now had to figure out how to make sense of these events and relate to the faith tradition that ostensibly inspired them” (p. 1). One way in which people made sense of these events was through the media channels that influenced their overall opinions by shaping a framework of censored ideas (Yusof, Hassan, Hassan & Osman, 2013). In a survey conducted by Pew Forum (2012), 32% of people reported that their opinions of Muslims were greatly influenced by the media’s portrayal of Islam that depicted violent pictorials and fundamentalist Muslims. Such constant negative depiction is likely to lead to the inevitable—prejudice and hate crime. For instance, in 2002 alone there were approximately 481 hate crimes that were carried out against Muslims (Smith, 2013). Ever since the 9/11 attacks Muslim people have been the target of “suspicion, harassment and discrimination” (Talal, n.d., p. 9).
