Nowadays when one sees a Muslim or someone who looks like a Muslim, that person is automatically deemed as either being dangerous or a terrorist. This fact comes to tell how far the world has come to. The 9/11 attacks changed the people’s perspective upon Muslims and now the stereotype is that all Muslims are bad and that they are all terrorists looking to kill innocent Americans. The next reason as to why the attacks were a success was due to the support that al-Qaeda got from different organizations and countries. They got financial support from countries like Afghanistan, Pakistan, and Syria.
The Crusades were informed by new ideals that came about by the change from monastic ideals to ideals of chivalry and of a knightly class. The West wanted to protect Jerusalem and protect fellow Christians living in the Islamic world. There was also a growing threat by Seljuk Turks who were moving close to Byzantium. Both objectives lead the Pope, abbots, kings and every day people to desire warfare for what the west saw as a holy war. Yet the church would have to find a way to advocate for the crusade as violence was a crime.
These terms appeared frequently and with high intensity, shaping a negative image of Malcolm X in the media. After Malcolm returned from Mecca, he announced that he no longer indicted the entire white race as racists and devils, and yet he was still connected with black supremacy. Other terms that cluster around extremist and appear in relation to Black Muslims and Malcolm X are enemy, confrontation, and bitter. These labels have implications of violence. Violence from a minority group against the white society is extremely disturbing to that population.
The Czars were afraid of losing power so they created laws to persecute the Jews as well. In the middle of all these years was the fact that the nobility and the peasants were on both sides of the hatred of the Jews. When Paul saw the complete rejection of Christianity by the Jews, he was livid and that anger turned to hatred (Schloss, p. 89). This is really just an egotistical person unable to deal with rejection. The first crusade is another case where a power hungry pope decided to wage war in order to unite all to obey him.
This was very controversial because he had many supporters including Fox news themselves. Of course this was all over the media and that added many more negative views about the religion of Islam. Muslims are ordinary people but the media portrays them as terrorists. They have negative images of Islam and Muslims everywhere. These negative images are based on erroneous ignorance.
The first immigrants didn’t like the new comers. The new comers had cultural and economic threats against them and brought in a variety of different religion. Due to immigration, this created the Klu Klux Klan, also known as the KKK. The KKK practiced systematic terror against blacks, Jews, Catholics, and foreigners. Their goal was to create segregation and stop immigration
His involvement with the notorious organization that preached race separation as opposed to integration ruined his reputation, and as a result, many American citizens soon turned against him. Nevertheless, Ali was ready to face the consequences; he embraced the role of a villain, and fought fire with fire. He defended his belief zealously, and would reply to those who attacked him verbally with even more offensive terms. Like how Floyd Patterson, the beloved champion and boxing gentleman, who announced to cleanse Black Muslim’s influence from boxing and refused to call Ali by his Muslim name was dubbed as an
Because of the way Muslims are viewed by other religions and the negative publicity the culture has gained, the media does not think twice to blame the Islam religion for everything and anything that is related to it. "You receive constant messages about how your community is full of terrorists, ignorant people, oppressive people." (Esposito, J. L. (n.d). Unholy War: Terror in the Name of Islam. )—How is one supposed to feel when the media has pigeonholed their culture/religion?
They believe this was a right that they were given by our Four Fathers, which is clearly not true. Yes, they have the freedom of speech but when should the freedom be taken away? What about the rights of the innocent victims and their families? Hate crimes, because of their nature will always lead to violence and this is not a freedom that people should have. In my opinion, the penalties for hate crimes should continue to be more severe than that of a regular crime because so many innocent people are injured and even killed simply because they are different.
However, more recently there has been a lot of tension between patriotic Britons and Muslims which has led to a lot of anti-Islamic propaganda among the British public. One might ask what the reasons are for this media and campaign portrayal. And are they justifiable? This topic was chosen in light of the tensions building from 9/11, the London Underground Bombings and the Iraq war as well as the more recent murder of British soldier, Lee Rigby, by two Muslim extremists which led to a wave of anti-Muslim propaganda across not only Britain but around the world. Due to the controversy that could be caused by this topic sources from patriotic Britons, Muslims and the media will be used to avoid bias and create balanced and well formulated argument.
