Muslim Stereotypes

Decent Essays
An Anthology that describes me is that, “I am a Muslim and I’m a kind, peaceful person.” One of the reasons that I chose this is because the stereotype that most Muslims are violent, exists around the world. However, this anthology describes me individually because I, like many individuals have my own personality and traits that are not derived by the stereotype of being a ‘muslim’.
In the past, these stereotypes have led to people convicting me wrongfully of acts of criminal activities, I would never commit. For example, as a hijabi living in America, people have had assumptions as me being a possible ‘’bomber,” just because I wore an extra cloth around my head, that others didn’t. These assumptions led to behaviors of verbal and physical

    Stereotypes are everywhere in the world. Our ridged expectations of a community are sometimes all we know about that certain group. The students had a preconceived idea about the Harvard students being snobby and the Law students thought the students would not take the task seriously. This chapter really hit on many stereotypes throughout the chapter and how powerful it can be when stereotypes are broken. I would never think to take my class on a field trip to a courthouse to participate in a mock trial.…

    Octavia Spencer's Kindred

    • 364 Words

    In Octavia Spencer’s Kindred, the prejudice that Dana, the protagonist, faces in the midst of Maryland’s era of slavery, as well as her tendency to remain in toxic relationships, are aspects of the novel that I can greatly relate to. Just as Dana’s worth as a human being is defined by the inaccurate, preconceived notions of African Americans shared by the Europeans of early Maryland, I feel that emerging Islamophobia and mainstream media’s negative focus on extremist Muslims has jeopardized my identity as a Muslim. Individuals such as Mr. Weylin consider Dana as inferior, even though she does not carry herself as the helpless, unintelligent individuals that others expect her to be. Similarly, many misguided individuals create assumptions of…

    The movie “Muslims Are Coming” is about a group of American Muslim comedians that travel around in small towns to large cities to counter Islamophobia. My thoughts on the attitudes presented in the film was that there are people who still discriminate Muslims after the incident with 9/11. There are some who truly hate Muslims, but those people are considered a racist. Throughout the film, I learned that as people get to know Muslims, the bad misconception with them will no longer be visible. Some people do not understand that not all Muslims are the same.…

    Low Self-esteem Exhibited Through Oppression Self-esteem fluctuates day to day and hour to hour. In the novel, Does My Head Look Big In This, Randa Abdel-Fattah shows how oppression divides society into two distinct groups of the dominant and the subordinate. This invisible barrier between the social classes causes the inferior individuals to question their morals and values. This results in anxiety and a decline of self-esteem. Likewise, Simone’s journey to lose weight, Leila’s arguments with her family, and Amal’s experience wearing the hijab explore how oppression lowers self-esteem.…

    “The most widely discussed issue in the U.S. Muslim community is the negative image of Islam in the American media, an issue that was cause for concern even before 9/11” (Struggling… Stereotypes 1). American Muslims experience stereotyping and harassment on a daily basis. The racial profiling towards American Muslims has almost been solely based off of the 9/11 attacks and the stereotypes are not only coming from uninformed citizens. Presidential candidate Donald Trump is known for his racist remarks and views on Middle Easterners. “Throughout this primary campaign, polls have shown over and over that many Republicans agree with Trump’s extremist rhetoric” (Jackson 2).…

    The terrorist attacks of September 11th created an entirely new style of persecution of Middle Easterners never seen before. The racial category of the attackers as well as the media’s constant associations of brown people as being terrorists led to almost 500 Muslim hate crime related incidents in 2001 (Ingraham 1). These rates, which have dropped tremendously from 2001, are still five times higher than years prior to September 11th (Ingraham 1). The film Amreeka does an important job tying race to religion.…

    Stereotype threat is not tied to the psychology of a particular group. It affects members of a group with a known negative reputation. For example, in Aronson’s article, a Muslim taxi driver feels the need to put up an American flag or a sign declaring, “Proud to be an American!” after the 911 incident because a large group of people fear that Muslims are terrorists. To experience this threat, one need not believe in it; nonetheless, it remains a life-shaping force.…

    Moreover, I was guilty of stereotyping Americans. I should not have believed the stereotype about Americans that most of them are overweight. Before I came to America, someone told me that Americans are obese, and if I wanted to keep a good figure, I’d better cook Chinese food and eat as little American food as I could. After I came here, I noticed that a large amount of girls I saw on the downtown streets and campus own a thin and healthy figure. I realized that this stereotype mislead me, since just a few people are overweight.…

    Our societies are trying to reach the equality dream, but the problem is that whenever we think that we have achieved that dream, we realize that we have not fulfilled it yet.

    Anti-Semitic Stereotypes

    • 325 Words
    • 2 Pages

    Before the survey was administered, researchers believed younger people would be less anti-Semitic than older people, because the younger generation was more open to change on most social issues. (p 625) The older generations however, was struggling with this idea of change and were more open to blame the European Jews and believed in the persecution. Another statistic shown was that women were less likely to have anti-Semitic beliefs than men, and also less likely to blame the Jews and disapproved Nazi propaganda.(p 627) I think this is something you still find today with women being more understanding then men, and are willing to look for more information rather than just going on what they know.…

    Middle-Easterners are terrorists, African-Americans are violent, “white” people have guns and Asians are all smart. These are all stereotypes that affect people's everyday lives. Every person, young and old, is labelled with either positive or negative stereotypes. The three sources, “Hum” by Naomi Shihab Nye, “Behind the Bedroom Wall” by Laura E. Williams and “Do teachers treat children differently based on their color? Study says yes” by Yolanda Young show that stereotypes can control people's lives and because of this our society needs to end it.…

    Stereotypes, prejudice, and discrimination has been a core topic in social psychological research in an attempt to understand the origins of biases and impact on groups and individuals (Dagner & Dalege, 2013). The terms prejudice, discrimination, and stereotype, are often used mutually in daily dialogue. Stereotyping, prejudice, and discrimination are biases that contribute to the creation of social inequality in the society (Fiske, 2008).

    There is no reason for the United States to return to internment camps and segregation with the progress for equality ongoing, but with the rise of terrorism and racial targeting, Muslims are scapegoats in a country that is constantly undergoing change. Islamophobia, or the fear of Islam, is not the reason to justify hate crimes against millions of people attempting to live their lives. Muslims do not have the opportunity to seek justice like the Civil Rights movement groups did as Muslims are already seen as a threat to US society and will be meet with strong resistance from all sides, even among their own people. Exploring how Islam impacts United States culture and society, demonstrating how Islamophobia is spread through social media and…

    The Effects of Prejudice, Stereotype & Discrimination Sherry H. Priester Psy 301: Social Psychology Dr. Nekita Fuller June 22, 2015 Prejudice, stereotypes and discrimination has existed in our world for a long time. These types of practices are used to prove what group is more superior among over another group or an individual (Feenstra, 2013).

Because of the different beliefs and social practices that are not considered socially acceptable, people are sometimes discriminated against (Feenstra, 2013). Stereotypes, prejudice and discrimination are similar, but yet very different (Fiske, 2010).…

    Muslim Stereotypes

    When thinking about perceptions it occurred to me how many different ideas and types of people I know very little about however have strong opinions on. It is almost disturbing that we make so many conclusions without satisfactory information. Some of the theories that explain this explain that in ways it’s a self-serving necessity in social interactions, not intentional prejudices. However I don’t believe that lets us off the hook from continuously educating ourselves in order to form accurate perceptions of others. For a long time all I heard about Muslims was how violent and lacking in empathy they were so it had become impossible for me to see Muslims as anything else but bad guys.…
