Many people consider Jihad to be a movement which causes a problem in the Muslim community because of the misinterpretation of the religious beliefs. Some read it as a Holy war on unbelievers and others read it as a war within
Fundamentalists are using religion to defend their culture in a negative way and have thus created a stigma for ethnic minorities. This stigma then makes them want to defend their culture
Sikh males usually wear turbans, which are stereotypically associated with Muslims by many Westerners. Being an American myself I could level and understand why other Americans were outraged and upset in result of the 9/11 attacks but I find it disgusting and ignorant that innocent people with mid eastern decent were being targeted and discriminated because of there ethnicity. I feel as though this proves that we are no better than Al-Qaeda and other terrorist groups who fight fire with fire. Instead of actually making a difference and being a positive influence for your country and the new

When artists portray images revolving around religious icons the image may turn into something highly controversial. It is true that the constitution does give Americans freedom of speech as well as expression but there is always a fine line between pushing the envelope and burning it and sometimes these artists burn it completely. The artist who constructed the image for the Blake Prize for religious art constructed an image of the portrait of Jesus with the face of Osama Bin Laden. The image’s controversy is one that deserves analyzing because of the context of the image as well as the reaction to the image. Throughout the analysis one must keep in mind that this image was meant for a contest of religious art.
When kids play soccer they learn discipline and how to get along with others which also promotes self-esteem. Soccer is a game that is equally fun for boys and girls. Kids who play soccer in small towns or begin playing when they are young are often part of coed teams. When boys and girls learn to work together as equals, lessons are being learned that will serve both sexes well in their future to come. Players develop a team attitude and become protective of each other both on and off the field.
Ethnocentrism can be detrimental to a society, because it can lead to false accusitions about a certain group of people, like the Muslims today. When people think of Muslims, the automatically think they are a terriost. All muslims aren’t terrorist and have a lot to offer this world, but we tend to label them as a terrorist because of the media and society. 3. Define emigration and immigration.
This conflicts with the general explanation of where we stem from as human beings. Many staunch believers blame advances in society for the weakening faith in some religions. For example, with the internet and other such advances, there is more skepticism with
Many people believe that racial profiling should be prohibited because it is offensive to American values. Malkin disputes this and insists that, “…the ethnic activists and civil-liberties groups who object most strenuously to the use of racial, ethnic, religious, and nationality classifications during war support the use of similar classifications to ensure ‘diversity’ or ‘parity’ in peacetime.” (493). However, Iftikhar strongly disagrees and believes that, “the most disturbing legal trend in America has been the growing disparity in how American Muslims are treated under the law.” She explains how the reports of civil rights cases, a majority of which were Muslim hate crimes, have increased tremendously since the 9/11 attacks due to racial profiling. Many Muslims were accused of crimes they didn’t do and were treated awful. While Iftikhar understands that America is focused on keeping everyone happy and winning over people abroad, she strongly states in her piece that, “it is high time that the Bush administration try spreading a little American democracy here---while winning the hearts and minds of Americans by treating all people equally under the law.” (497).
The ensuing events were also volatile and unpredictable as American troops were sent to Afghanistan and other related developments unfolded between Pakistan and India, and between Israel and the Arab world. Media usage increased as people sought to find out about the events, understand the causes and monitor new developments. Unfortunately, higher media usage does not necessarily translate to better understanding, given that the President's explanations consisted of naive statements such as "Why do they hate us so much? They hate our freedoms – our freedom of religion, our freedom of speech, our freedom to vote..." and then "I'm amazed that there's such misunderstanding of what our country is about that people would hate us ... I just can't believe it because I know how good we are."
