The differences between Arabs and Muslims are Muslims are followers of the Islamic religion and Arabs are an ethnic group. Basically, it's the exact same as the difference between being 'White' and being 'Christian'. Although many Muslims are Arab and a large number of Arabs are Muslim, there are many non-Arab Muslims. There are also many Arabs who are Christian, Hindu, Buddhist, Agnostic, Atheist, etc. Unfortunately, due to the many Islamic terrorist organizations in the world and their many threats or attacks on the different populations, many people have discriminated against persons who are, or who are believed to be, Arab or Muslim, regardless of what those persons actually believe or practice.
Americans know “racial profiling is both morally wrong and ineffective”, but they rather be safe than sorry (Chavez 563). Americans only get the idea that all middle easterners are terrorists because media has taken the role of portraying them in such a way to plants terror in Americans (Spurlock). People have gotten to the point of people being “singled out” because of looking certain way or because people around them feel uncomfortable (Chavez 569).
Characteristics of Orientalism, Prejudice and Discrimination Jessica Axia College of University of Phoenix Characteristics of Orientalism, Prejudice and Discrimination There has been a lot of confusion regarding the real differences between Arabs and Muslims. Most of the time, these differences are even unrecognized by many people. Looking at it closely, the differences are actually obvious and simple. Arabs are settlers in the Middles East, with Arabic as their native language. Muslims, on the other hand, are found all over the world, and are followers of the religion called Islam.
The hatred and racism that Americans displayed throughout this documentary was astonishing. Anyone that wore a turban were labeled a terrorist no matter what their beliefs. It's amazing how we're the “Freedom County” but showed some much racism and verbal abuse toward these
I’d be doing the same thing for which I am arguing by classifying everyone as racists or ignorant. Not the case at all and never will be. Over the years it has calmed down slowly but surely. I see people defending each other now who aren’t even the same religion or race, and it’s so beautiful. There are more cases of religious hate crimes related to Islam in Europe than in America, which is surprising considering America was the one most affected by 9/11.
some people would say the the reiligion is offensive and opressive towards women. some would say that the religion is even slave like towards women. however the women and men that particepate in the islamic religion would say that islam for women has been viewed wrong and that actually egalitaran, specially on its veiws about the sexs. some of the islamic followers would say more than Judaism and or Christianity. conventional veiws suggest that the west sees women of islam as a opressive object instead of a counterpart , in the islamic movement.
But in the west this statement is misinterpreted which shows specific issues and differences. These differences is where the stereotype of Islam being assessed of teaching the oppression of woman. * This stereotyping does come from these laws of the west from the misinterpreted understanding of the Qur’an, the rights they enforce are a woman’s testimony is only half or a man’s, that woman are cheated out of half of their inheritance, that the Qur’an allows wide beating, that men can divorce on a whim and have four wives, and that Islam promotes unfair isolation. * Women are unfairly assessed with these misinterpreted rights from the west. It is very rare but it some households wife beating does occur, but that is due to the same misinterpretations from out west.
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. People should have the right to live in America free of fear that something will happen to them simply because they were not born a certain color, they practice a different religion or that they happen to be
Racism and Anti-Semitism: A Problem in America PHI 103 Kevin Lines November 28, 2011 Racism and Anti-Semitism: A Problem in America Racism in America is an ongoing problem in America which appears to have no end in sight. Since the beginning of time, which is evident even in the holy bible, racism and discrimination occurs quite frequently. Will it ever be an end to this ongoing problem? Sad to say, as long as inadequate information, ill-advised people and untrue rumors are in circulation in society, people will continue to dislike and hate other people for the color of their skin, nationality or the religion that they practice. We should look at the root of the problem in opposed to the surface.
What are the reasons for anti-Islamic propaganda in Britain? Introduction. Since Britain’s involvement in the Iraq conflict, it is evident that racial hatred has increased between, predominantly, the white and Islamic communities of the nation. Britain is a multi-cultural society which in general welcomes people of all races, religions, creeds and cultures. 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.
