Muslim
The word I chose to write my argumentative essay is “Muslim.” It means a person who follows the religion of Islam. Islam began in Mecca and Media at the start of seventh century. According to history of Islam-Wikipedia, The Prophet Muhammad introduced Islam in 610 A.D. after receiving what he maintained to be “divine revelations.” Muhammad imposed the Quran, which is the holy book of Islam. However, Muslim is used differently in different communities. People in the United States, especially most of the white people are thinking that Muslim people are terrorists. Nevertheless, Muslim people are not the people who kill others. They are just a people who follow their religion’s

As a young experienced man who was living in East Africa surrounded by Muslim people, I don’t think Muslim people are extremist. They were very kind people because I have seen them helping others, who are sick and giving food to the poor people, who didn’t have enough money to buy food. Thus, from what I’ve seen in the past four years in Ethiopia, most Muslim people are not what many white people, who are living in the United States of America think. According to CNN News, Barack Obama says, “ISIS is not Islamic, no religion condones the killing of innocents.” This even shows that our former president doesn’t believe that Muslim people are terrorists. Likewise, what Barack Obama mentioned in his speech to convey his argument is what most of us could have agreed 100% because I believe that there is no religion who accepts the killing of innocent people. In addition, according to ABC News, Abdullah of Saudi Arabia used pathos to convey his argument when he said, “Muslims are not bloodthirsty people. Islam is a religion of peace that forbids the killing of the innocent. Islam also accepts the Prophets, whether those prophets are Mohammed, God's peace and blessing be upon Him, or Moses or the other prophets of the Books.” This shows that most Muslim people are just following their religion’s regulations, which refuses to allow killing people. When Donald Trump said Muslims are terrorists …show more content…
According to the media, Donald Trump also called for “Travel Ban” for Muslims because he believes that ISIS is considered Muslim, so those terrorist groups which are called ISIS will come to the United States of America if we allowed Muslims to infiltrate to the United States of America. However, ISIS is not Islamic. ISIS has nothing to do with Muslim because ISIS is a group who’s killed many innocent people. Furthermore, since there is no religion who disregards the killing of many innocent people, then Muslim people are not terrorists. In addition, I believe that Muslim people are not terrorists because I have many Muslim friends who are very unlike what the media or about half of the white people are talking about. To sum up, I will use one of Muhammad Ali’s quote which is, “Terrorists are not following Islam. Killing people and blowing up people and dropping bombs in places and all this is not the way to spread the word of Islam. So, people realize now that all Muslims are not terrorist.” All in all, most Muslim people are not killing innocent people. Thus, if they are not terrorists, then they shouldn’t be considered ISIS because we all know that ISIS is a coordinated group who killed many innocent

    Is the U.S.A justified in sending Japanese residents to Manzanar and other camps like it? Yes, the U.S. was at war with Japan and they had to take precautions because they were worried that the Japanese would interfere with the war. The treatment the Japanese had at the camps is not justified though, they lived in humiliation and poor living conditions. Also it was wrong for the U.S. to hold the loyal Japanese citizens against their will. Of course the U.S. would be justified to hold Japanese residents in concentration camps.…

    Following the events that occurred on September 11, 2001, Muslims have been subjected to the vile stereotype that projects all Muslims as terrorists. In Brent Staples’ essay “Just Walk on by: Black Men and Public Space,” he argues that black men are victimized because of society's perception of them. This can be compared to the victimization of Muslims due to society’s image of them as well; however, this stereotype is incorrect based on statistics, evidence, and my personal experience. In this society, the argument is that the actions of Muslim terrorists come from their religion.…

    Ever since the 9-11 attack, we have discriminated against people that look Muslim, or practice Muslim traditions. In today's world when I see a Muslim person I immediately think about terrorism since I know that some of these terrorist groups are muslim, but we only hear about the horrible events they do. America as a whole only wants to see Muslims as a disgraceful group because of the 9-11 attacks, and the terrible events that a few people of Muslim culture committed. Randy Halstrom, my grandfather, who was 56 years old at the time of the attack said, “My view did change on Muslims until I realized that not all Muslims think the same as those terrorists who were behind the 9-11 attacks.” Randy, like most people at the time, thought all Muslims were horrible after these attacks, but later realized that these terrorists were a select few of the Muslim population that committed these crimes.…

Although, another supposed writer by the name of Scott Russell Sanders has perceived a different view on mass migrations, much like to what Rushdie was a part of. Russell states, "The creation of radically new types of human being: people who root themselves in ideas rather than places.", as he talks about migrations. America is always seen as a "Promised Land" or land of benefit towards those who come. This is one of the many strategies that Russell uses to connect more with his audience, and Rushdie.…
