Banning the headscarves can soften these problems because there is no headscarve to differentiate whether she/he is Muslim or not. According to the report released by the Paris-based Islamophobic Crime Monitoring Group, pointed out that the number of Islamophobic attacks in France increased by 34 per cent in 2011 in comparison with the previous year. In democratic country, including France, majority always outweighs
This is because they are not of the norm and because they have a different belief system than others. Muslims have been stereotyped from all aspects of their life since 9/11. Muslims who had been in the United States longer than some Christians were suddenly being verbally and physically attacked by those Christians. More and more, they were being accused of misdemeanors that they had never done. They were citizens like everyone else; the difference was that they were the only ones being questioned.
Due to the September 11 attacks, America has changed for the worse. The everyday, average American life is now plagued by fear, animosity, segregation, increased dependency of social assimilation, and increased Governmental manipulation. Ever heard of the expression: “Too much of a good thing can prove just as bad”? Well, sadly enough, this saying couldn’t be anymore true! After the great tragedy of 9/11¾as I already tried to explain¾an
It is impossible to know what the implications of WWII namely the atomic bomb and Holocaust were on the subconscious of the American public but it is evident through the conformity and lack of voice of the post-war era that there was a malaise spreading across American infecting almost every level of society or as Norman Mailer describes it in his article “The White Negro”, “a stench of fear [that] came out of every pore of American life” causing us to suffer “a collective failure of nerve.” Post-war American’s were scared and rightfully so, these two events had an effect of epic proportion on humanity, however, the fear does not justify the reaction or more explicitly the over reaction, to individualism. Mailer in his article explores this “slow death of conformity” and the phenomenon of those who dared to reject it: African Americans and the hipster (also know as the white negro). The actual phenomenon lies more with the hipster because African Americans had been living in this existential existence long before WWII. Mailer explains the Negro “has been living on the margin between totalitarianism and democracy for two centuries” and this philosophy by which they’re living by is due in large part to being pushed to the
How 9/11 and The Patriot Act affected America What happened on September 11, 2001, will never be forgotten and is now considered one of the worst terrorism tragedies in American history. Consequently, it had made Americans grow closer together in the wake of the tragedy. Ever since the beginning, America has faced many significant changes, but ever since the atrocity of 9/11, America has made many changes that made an impact to most Americans. For instance, the events of 9/11 may have had a greater impact on our economy, but it also affected the lives of ordinary Americans. In this paper we will examine the impact of 9/11 on Americans and the U.S. economy and why the U.S. responded to the terrorism by enacting the USA Patriot act to “protect” America, which had become a big controversial issue to Americans.
September 11, 2001 was one of the most horrific and historic events of all time. It has made the American citizens stereotype Muslims and those Arabs who appear to be Muslims in America. Those innocent Arabs are being “punished” because of the terrorist groups that are against America and what we stand for. In America, they are no longer looked at the same way; they are all looked at like terrorists and horrible people. The events of 9/11 have created hatred, fear, discrimination and Americans have begun racial profiling because of the Arabs who participated in the attacks.
In this article Prothero blames America’s religious ignorance on our schools. He says, “most of the fault lies in our elementary and secondary schools” (Prothero). Prothero uses statistics, quotation and comparison to effectively create a convincing, persuasive essay. Prothero begins his essay by talking about how America is such a religious country, but the citizens of America are lacking education about religion. He goes on to say that European countries, although far less religious, are considerably more educated when it comes to the subject.
Islamophobia and 9/11 The September 11 attacks were a sequence of synchronized attacks by the radical group of Al-Qaeda upon the US on the 11th of September 2001. The 19 Islamist terrorists allied to Al-Qaeda hijacked commercial passenger jets and crashed two of the airliners deliberately on the Twin Towers and killing everyone on board. These events led to nearly 3,000 deaths and about 400,000 people were open to the elements of dust, smoke and a lot other chemicals. The fact that the attack was perpetrated by Muslims, there was a generalized view that Muslims were terrorists (Fiorenza, 2001). This brought about Islamophobia.
Islam vs. The West Anatomy of Jihad It seems that not a day goes by in which the Western world is not bombarded by pictures and video from the Muslim world showing anti-American and anti-Western protests. All too often, these scenes depict gun wielding men and boys, denouncing the West for one form of violation of Islamic Laws or another. Add to those scenes, scenes from the 9/11 attacks on the US, along with a multitude of terrorist attacks, and the world’s view of Islam is one of a bunch of violent religious zealots, bent upon bringing about the downfall of Western civilization at all costs. But is this violence really the nature of Islam, or has the world misjudged the nature of the conflict, and jumped to a conclusion that serves only to incite violence.
And will fight or help anyone together. So by us rejecting immigrants we are going against our constitution. We the people means all the people in the United States no matter where we are or where we come from if they are in the United States they are a part of us.“We the people” its not stating a specific race or ethnicity it is saying “all” so why discriminate against immigrants. We are only hurting ourselves saying we are not a country of our word and we are not united because we don't accept certain races. When other countries look at us and see how we treat illegal immigrants they say and that's what people call the world super power.
