The development of religious fundamentalism caused many conflicts, some minor and others major. The Taliban which is one of the Mujahedeen groups that formed during the war are a religious dictatorship that believes they have the only right in interpreting the Holy book of Muslims. The Taliban believed in getting rid of anyone who had a different religious view including more scientific beliefs. Severe punishment including death was enforced upon those who did not follow the Taliban’s rules. The Taliban was also the cause for why women weren’t allowed to be educated thus leading to the Malala Yousafzai incident.
This is acceptable for objects, but not for human beings. Today if we saw a group of Muslims on the street, would we stare? Would we judge them on the way they look and feel threatened? These recent tragic terrorist attacks were not committed by the entire Muslim population, however, we tend to paint them all with the one brush. “This is racism, a definition for racism would be treating a person on, the basis of his or her race first, rather than as a person.” (Martin, 1990) The refugee crisis is a prime example of people’s social identity being influenced by racial status.
I would not trust this document though, for it is one sided. He is favoring the Qur’an (doc 5). As I stated above, they spread through conquest which is one of the hardest way to receive but easiest to believe (doc 5, 6, 7, 8). The Muslims simply fought their enemies, or their disbelievers. This is a form of conquest because non-Islamic members don’t want to battle them so they convert.
The French firmly believe in the separation of church and state, which has led to fear of organized religion influencing the actions of its people. When you combine this with the recent terrorist attacks blamed on fundamental Islamism the French have a distrust of their own Islamic citizens and immigrants. Many government officials who are also elitist within France fuel this distrust. What Giry is suggesting is that Islam has very little
In Koran, while the woman was trying to seduce Joseph, he mentioned about God. He said “God forbid!” He used God to reject her and then used her husband. However, in Bible, Joseph used her husband as an excuse first and then God. God in Koran is more powerful in Islam’s mind and God has power over all things that what God said is undoubtedly correct and have to abide by. Furthermore, Islam should fear of God so that Joseph in Koran would mention God at first to warn master’s wife.
For example; making pilgrimages to tombs or special mosques, venerating caves, trees, stones, using votive and sacrificial offerings and praying to saints were all to be banned[ii]. All of these practices were accepted at that time and these were associated with the Islamic religion but the Wahhabs considered these to be unacceptable. The current Western societies and their secular behaviors are even more anathema to the current Wahhabs. They are against secularism, modernity, and the enlightenment. In order to fight the anti-modernism, anti-secularism, they have become extremists and do not fear the use of
That’s why Allah tells us not to expose our body. That’s why we need to wear loose clothes, and long headscarf to cover the breast. Is that wrong? If you think we are terrorist, I got some questions for you. Who started world war 1, and 2?
Student Professor English 305 6 November 2009 I Say No To Hate Crime Laws Hate crimes are an irrational, ignorant and cowardly expression of desperation. A person who commits a hate crime is desperate to feel better, superior and in control. That being said, there should not be special laws and mandatory sentences for people who commit these heinous acts of violence because they do not accomplish the goals of eradicating or deterring bigotry. If we, as a society, put special laws and punishments into our legal system, we are unequivocally saying that the motive of these acts is more important than the intent or outcome of these crimes. I do not believe this is true nor do I feel that this is the position of the majority of people in
Many New York City residents and fellow Americans feel that this is a direct “Slap in the face”, and a mockery of the countless lives lost on that tragic day. Within this paper I hope to persuade the Islamic Community of the dangers that the Muslim Community center poses for the occupants, everyone, and everything around it. This paper will accurately identify the risks and detriments of building a Muslim Community Center within the WTC vicinity and thoroughly explain why it should not be built there. Thesis Statement A Muslim community center should not be built near the World Trade Center site because it poses a clear danger to Muslims everywhere. Working Outline- WTC Muslim Community Center I.
Also do not forget the fact that Saudi Arabia is a religious country . Many people in Saudi Arabia agree that women shouldn’t drive a car because it is so suspicious . They believe this , because in my thinking , Saudi Arabia didn’t developed early like the other countries . If we look to the fact that Saudi Arabia is a Muslim country or an Arabic country as reason to prevent women from driving that’s certainly wrong , because all the other Muslims countries in the Arabic world allow women to drive . But some people with the entrenched mindsets make religion an excuse to prevent driving .It does not say any thing in Qur’an about that .
