What Is Donald Trump's Arguments About Muslims?

After immediately reading the article I became a hateful person toward everyone that I believed who could possibly share the view of that article. Yet, I did not stay in such a hateful state. I decided if I continue to feed this rage inside of me I could never be happy. I learned to forgive and not to take the views of others to heart. I forgave and moved on after reading this text that was hateful toward me by realizing people are so unhappy that they will find any excuse to be hateful toward each other. When society decides to generalize people not only Muslims, but also any form of generalization still angers me to an extent. Yet, after that anger passes I learn to forgive those hateful people and to still stand up for those who are discriminated against. If someone were to rebuttal discrimination with discrimination no conflict would be resolved. However, if you chose to forgive their ignorance and try to reason at first or to forgive you can reach a state of peace and

This article uses a sarcastic tone in order to appeal to pathos. I honestly really like how the author, Alexandra Petri, states her case. She is basically showing the hypocrisy that exist within the trump administrations ideas of what is important to protect and what is not. They respect object more than the lives of people. This article really does a good job of putting this issue into a visual perspective. Her perspective shows that if you are not on trumps side anything you do is wrong and you are seen as the enemy. I think the article is effective in that it really appeals to emotions of the audience. There isn’t a lot of statistical facts but there are a lot of straightforward examples of recent events that have been in media. Petri does

One of the scariest things about Trump saying all these things is that there's so many people out there that think these things and when they see someone who's running for president, they feel like their opinion is validated. This causes increased racism and xenophobia amongst the population. This is dangerous because people also feel like they can also now act upon these things; for example someone may feel like it is okay to beat up a muslim because Trump, a presidential candidate, spoke openly of his racist opinion toward

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”.

Within the past few months the American people have witnessed violence from Isis and ultimately have fallen into a state of fear and confusion in regards to the safety of the nation. In response, Presidential candidate Donald Trump feels he has the capability to “make America great again” (Berman). In Russell Berman’s article “Donald Trump’s Call to Ban Muslim Immigrants,” he discusses Trump’s plan to address the issue: a “total and complete shutdown of Muslims entering the United States.” Because he is afraid of more attacks occurring in the United States, Trump stands up for these beliefs even though many people believe they are words of prejudice. Trump is not the only person who acts with prejudice when scared. Playwrights Arthur Miller

On December 14, 2015, Ali Swenson wrote an article on why Donald Trump and Roosevelt encounter a similar fear, a fear of ethnicity. After Pearl Harbor, Roosevelt ordered that all Japanese people in America be sent to an internment camp. Similarly, after the terrorist attack in San Bernardino, Trump wanted all Muslims banned from the United States. Overall I think the author was biased for pointing out flaws in Trump’s argument, but did a decent job of providing more fact over emotion.

Muslims now, suffer from discrimination in America ever since the 9-11 Era. Some people believe that muslims were the reason why 9-11 and other terrorists attacks happened. The hate for American-Muslims has increased by 78%. Even our president, Donald Trump, wanted a ban on immigration by Muslims. The anti-Muslim hate and violence have reportedly increased rapidly after Donald Trump’s comments on the Muslims. Social media and the news for months

Bernie Sanders, who is a Vermont senator and democratic presidential candidate, recently criticized Donald Trump. Donald Trump is a republican presidential candidate. Sanders says that he disagrees with Trump's views on immigration. He also stated that Trump is an embarrassment to our country.

Every day in my middle school eighth grade social-studies classroom, I often found myself asking the questions, “Why study history; shouldn’t we let go of the past; why is studying the past important?” Oddly enough, I found my answer to these very questions in a quotation in my social studies textbook. The quote profoundly stated, “Those who do not remember the past are condemned to repeat it.” After reading the article, “Then Came War”, the story of unjust racial prejudice against Japanese-Americans in WWII, the answer to my question finally clicked. The story of Japanese Americans in WWII has brought forth many lessons, can be applicable to prejudicial events of our time, and has explanations and the impact of racial prejudice and stereotypes.

With the explosion technology and social media, not only do Americans have to read multiple sources to fully understand topics like politics, you have to scan and skim those articles to make sure they can rely on them. In Jonathan Capehart’s article, “Donald Trump’s rhetoric will keep the Republican Party out of the White House,” for The Washington Post, describes why Trump’s blatant racism and ludicrous comments will keep not only him, but all Republican candidates out of the White House. Capehart argues that the countless offensive remarks against Hispanics will make the Republican Party less credible and then even if Trump is not the main GOP candidate, his xenophobic comments will keep any Republican out of the Oval Office. From a glance, this article may seem reasonable and level-headed, however, the information provided is flawed and does not paint an accurate picture of the whole situation. Capehart also presents his article as partially biased, even though any opinion should almost be nonexistent. Comparably, another article by Charlie Savage, describes a similar account of Donald Trump saying something offensive about minorities, but this time it is about Muslims. In his article for The New York Times, Savage talks about a revision made to Trump’s “I plan to ban all Muslims from the United States” speech that could potentially keep Trump out of the courts and keep him in the race for President. By Trump stating he was only going to ban Muslims who were out

The column I choose was, “Trump’s inner circle knows he has lost” by Jennifer Rubin. The argument presented in the column is that everyone that supports Donald Trump, or has supported him in the past, knows he is going to lose the election. I completely agree with Rubin but her evidence simply does not make sense to me. She writes, “Donald Trump Jr. is already making excuses,” and does not present a single piece of evidence to prove it. She also writes, “Running for president, the Trump scion proclaimed, is a ‘step down’ for his father,” and doesn't give a name to the person saying this, let alone, provide the quote in its entirety. The entire column is unclear and bounces from example to example without much elaboration. This column is part

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.

This scares me immensely, Trump is not fit to be president. A president is the face of a country, and is responsible for all citizens. The fact of the matter is that a lot of people in America are muslim. The fact is that he's alienating a huge portion of not only the United States but the world. The fact is that this kind of speech makes the US a primary target for those trying to get rid of those against muslims in the eyes of ISIS. The fact is that ISIS recruits people because they are isolated and are not tolerated, and this definitely is not the right step to take to accept muslims and stop the cycle of ISIS using those that are vulnerable because of hate speeches.

Today there is a dominant narrative of fear surrounding immigrants, especially those from Mexico, and Central/South America. This narrative stems from xenophobia, and racism, which as we all know is rooted deeply in the History of the United States. This fear is rationalised by the thought that the 11.3 million undocumented immigrants in the U.S are taking the jobs normally held by “true” Americans. Right now there is a man named Donald Trump, a multi billionaire businessman running in the 2016 presidential elections, who is taking advantage and intensifying this narrative. This rhetoric is scapegoating undocumented immigrants and blaming them for all the unemployment and crime in the United States. His influence, along with many others, on

In San Jose California letters were written to two mosques expressing what the individuals think Donald Trump will do to Muslims when he is in office. The letters included items such as “He will do to you what Hitler did to the Jews”, “You Muslims would be wise to pack your backs”, “There is a new sheriff in town- President Donald Trump, He is going to cleanse America and make it shine again. And he is going to start with you Muslims.”, All the messages were signed “Americans for a Better Way”, and The letters were addressed to “Children of Satan” and “Vile and Filthy People.” An investigation has been going on but they have not found a culprit behind the letters.
