Argumentative Essay On Islam Religion

Superior Essays
Following the barbaric invasion of the terrorist group, Islamic State, in Iraq further speculation has been circulated around the conception of Islam being the religion of terror and the motive behind the massacre of innocence around the world. As a result of this, and other events the serene religion of Islam have develop into the most embroiled religion to subsist in our society. Although there have been numerous predicaments that challenge the fundamental concept of peace in Islam, it should be insisted that educated people should not be hypnotised by segments of the media. Islam is the world 's second largest religion with 1.6 billion, this correlates to 23% of the world 's population. Is it civilised to paint a pernicious picture of 1.6 …show more content…
Too often I hear those who argue against Islam plea "Not all Muslims are terrorists but all terrorists are Muslims. The stupidity, inaccuracy, foolishness and idiocy of this seems rather surprising to me. Organisations like the 'KKK ' are never referred to as terrorists, you never see Irish People 's Liberation being referred to as terrorists, you never see Anders Behring Breivik being associated with terrorism or Army of God or Adam Lanza. It is rather saddening while researching this topic an article caught my attention. Adam Lanza was involved in an article of the Dailymail and headline was 'Adam Lanza hated his mother he shot dead because he thought 'she loved the students at Sandy Hook more than him '. This particular headline does not condemn Adam Lanza 's horrifying carnage against the angelic students but rather endeavours to draw sympathetic readers by giving justification for his horrid actions. Once again in the article mentions Lanza 's medical illness but fails to declare that he was a Satan worshipper. The point intended here is that many are seduced into thinking that all terrorists are Muslims because they are repeatedly bombarded(mind the irony) with the word terrorist more than any other …show more content…
There are some Muslim extremists that interpret the Quran in such a disgusting manner but that does not mean all Muslims interpret it in a way which preaches terrorism. As the Muslim community rapidly grows, hate and rage against such a peaceful religion is becoming worrisome. Those who are ambivalent towards the matter should acknowledge it is extremely dangerous to paint a population of 1.6 billion with the same brush. Islam derives from peace, it means peace, it is full of peace. One must judge the religion by the true interpretation of the Quran not the actions of those who supposedly follow it. Fortunately the religion is perfect but Muslims are not, blame the Muslims who commit such evil, not

    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.…

    Dariy Tereshchenko AP World Lamb Period 6 Christianity and Islam were two growing and developing religions. These two religions had very different opinions on merchants and their roles in society. The Bible and qurans beliefs both did not seem to match with their ideas on trade. It seem as if Christians believed in that merchants and traders were sinful and warned them with the consequences of participating in trading. Muslims believed that the merchants were a benefit to their society and actually endorsed this way of life.…

    The least convincing between the two arguments was the article written by famous ex-basketball player, Kareem Abdul Jabbar. Although his argument was well stated, it only offered a limited view on the Charlie Hebdo terrorist attacks by Muslim Radicals. Jabbar spoke out as a Muslim-American and condemned the actions taken by “Muslims” in Paris, France. Jabbar later went into depth about how the American people lived through a similar phase, back when the Ku Klux Klan roamed American soil. He used that information to support his claim that Muslim terrorists are not Muslims, in fact, they are simply people trying to make money and pinning it on the Islamic religion.…

    Putting Islam terrorism in the worst end of the spectrum, and keeping it in a whole separate place seriously worsens daily lives of billions of innocent Muslims. According to The Student View, of the 1.57 billion Muslims, approximately 31,000 is involved in ISIS, 36,000 in Taliban, and 10,000 in Al Qaeda, which proves that there are at least about 1.56 billion Muslims who aren’t involved in any sort of terror act (Source B). Feeling culpable for something they didn’t commit, these Muslims are being implicitly or explicitly insulted in public which unavoidably…

    With the use of context clues the reader can come to the conclusion that Goldberg finds the rise in anti-Islamic incidents justifiable (because of the 9/11 attacks). Goldberg’s argument becomes definitional. Goldberg states, “Sure, even one hate crime is too many. But does that sound like an anti-Muslim backlash to you?” An analysis of the article reveals a bias which affects the readers’ view of Goldberg.…

    Terrorist, a word that means many different things to many different people, is painted by the media as an easily identifiable, one-dimensional, criminal in modern society. Google “terrorist”, and the only thing portrayed is turban wearing, automatic rifle carrying, Islamic extremist. Based on what has been learned through movies and mass media, the ability to identify a “terrorist” even when fully covered can be done based on the clothing and the surroundings in the images. American stereotypes also imply the conclusion that the location is in the Middle East, therefore, they have to be terrorists which also identifies them as Muslim. After 9/11 the media inundated the American public with feelings of fear and outrage perpetuating islamophobia.…

    Terrorism is an extremely prevalent problem in the world today. Every month there is news of a bombing in some city, or a shooting in some neighborhood, and Western media has made Islam the face of terrorism. While Jihadists only make up a fraction of the proponents of terrorism, the media has caused “terrorism” to be synonymous with “Muslim.” Even understandable acts of rebellion, like the liberation movement of Palestine against Israel, are seen as Islamic radicalism because misguided individuals perpetrate acts of terrorism. The movie Paradise Now, by director Hany Abu-Assad, shows the ordeals of two friends, Khaled and Said, who enlist in a Palestinian resistance group to coordinate suicide attacks on Tel Aviv, Israel.…

    Christianity, based on the teaching and life of Jesus Christ, and Islam, based on the Quran and Allah, were two large, expanding religions in history. Throughout Christianity history, attitudes towards merchants have been negative while Islamic attitudes were on the good side; however, over time, views on trade have been reversed. The attitudes of Christianity and Islam toward merchants and trade from the religion's origins until about 1500 changed. There are several indications for both cases with a negative view. To start off, fair trade was a commonality between the two religions.…

    Even the reassuring words of Muslim leaders and mosques have had scarce effect on convincing the general public. The simple truth is, most people don’t actually know much about the Muslim faith, and what it really states. Rather they justify their hatred through stereotypical understandings; after all, if one’s a terrorist, they’re all terrorists aren’t they (Abu-Nimer, 2015)? This is why education is vital.…
