ISIS And Hate Crimes

Decent Essays
News nowadays is all about ISIS: “ISIS killed more than fifty innocent civilians people in Iraq”, “ISIS is planning to bomb Beirut”, “ISIS suspicious car found in turkey” … with all this media coverage, no wonder why westerners blame Islam. The hate has increased toward Muslims, a small example that shows this hate is a teacher that called a 12 years old student a terrorist in Fort Bend county, Texas just because he is a Muslim, despite the hate crimes against Muslims in Europe and the US. In fact, ISIS has nothing to do with Islam and those terrorists are contradicting the previous mentioned Islam principles. Moreover, ISIS is killing civilians, children, women and journalists and according to the United Nations (UN) at least 18,800 people

    Western media’s depiction of Islamic terrorism makes all Muslims appear as villains and fanatics. The audience starts believing that all Muslims are threatening and an enemy of the West, this results in generalizations and discriminatory behaviour against those Muslims who are harmless. The media is biased while showing Islamic terrorism and fundamentalist Christian actions. They give more coverage and emphasis when showing terror attacks committed by a non-white Muslim and less coverage to attacks committed by white Christians. When the audience is more exposed to the news of the attacks made by Muslims, they start believing that Muslims are the problem and label all Muslims as terrorists rather than thinking that it is the person who is the problem, not the religious or cultural background of that person.…

    The world in crISIS Graeme Wood, a contributing editor of The Atlantic, describes in detail the underlying ideological and religious thinking behind Islamic State of Iraq and Syria, also known as ISIS. He searches and discovers they are a formidable force, drawn together by a coherent faith and ideology. By talking to experts around the world, including many Islamic State supporters, Mr. Wood has produced a compelling article named “What ISIS Really Wants” in which mainly he exposes that unless the West understands the religious and cultural background of the IS, there is no way to defeat it.

    The Neo-Assyrian Empire and Present Day ISIS: History Appears to Repeat Itself The Neo-Assyrian Empire lasted from 911 to 612 B.C.E., while ISIS is still in power today. Though these two Semitic governments are far apart in regards to time, they are eerily similar in their actions, strategies, and the makeup of their civilization. Northern Iraq and southeastern Turkey was where the Assyrian Empire encompassed, and ISIS is based in the Islamic state of Iraq and Greater Syria, with the largest city under their control being Mosul.…

    Essay About Going To War

    It is evident that Islamic parties are not keen toward the United States and other western countries. They do not accept our political and ideological beliefs pertaining to faith, liberalism, and other social contexts. Another logical explanation to why ISIS keeps us on their radar for prospective attacks is because we’ve cost them an enormous amount of damage on a national level as well. When the United States went to war in Iraq, we killed tens of thousands of their soldiers and most notably, are responsible for the death of Osama Bin Laden. It is unfortunate that our dialogue and other social experiences with those in the Middle East is highly inadequate because this concept is undoubtedly prolonging the War on…

    All over the word hate crimes are a problem, people need to become more educated on how hate crimes negatively impact people's lives. If society becomes further educated on the negative emotional and criminal effects of hate crimes, then the overall percentage of hate crimes will decrease. A hate crime is defined as an offense motivated by hatred, bias, or prejudice, based on the race, color, religion, national origin, ethnicity, gender, or sexual orientation of another individual or a group of individuals (Schmalleger, 2015).

    Hate Crimes Introduction to Hate Crimes ¾ - 1 Originally the FBI’s investigations of hate crimes were limited to crimes that were committed based on the victim’s race, color, religion, or national origin (“Hate Crimes”, 2017). Although after the passage of the Matthew Shepard and James Byrd, Jr., Hate Crimes Prevention Act of 2009 the definition was expanded to included crimes committed based on the bias of perceived or actual gender identify, sexual orientation, disability, or gender (“Hate Crimes”, 2017). Hate crimes can vary from murder, arson, or vandalism; however, with the added element of bias.
