Islamophobia

Living in the United States, we often see the flash of blue lights and hear the whir of sirens. We loudly proclaim that that person must have done something unlawful to warrant a stop by the police. We never think that the police may be wrong. They may have arrested someone for the wrong reasons or for no reason at all. When students come to school, they expect an education. They never expect to be harassed or shamed. If a student brings an experiment to school to show off to a teacher, they…

Imagine a 747 plane crashing through the side of a building causing mass chaos, injury, and death. This is exactly what happened on September 11th 2001. A 747 plane crashed into the side of the north twin tower setting fire to the biggest skyscrapers. Following this another plane crashed into the adjessent south tower. No one was prepared, people were running for their lives, jumping out of the sides of the tower, and worst of all people lost their lives. How could anyone have predicted this…

First, I will talk about the basis of Islam and what it really teaches. Due to recent events in the United Sates the image of Islam has been distorted making it look violent, intolerant and that has increase islamophobia. Islam has grown so rapidly and there are nearly 6 to 7 million Muslims nationwide and it is important for everyone to gain knowledge on what Islam truly is. Islam walks in the path of flexibility and denounces any type of violence. The Holy Quran states that “If any one killed…

With only a small percentage of muslims participating in extremist groups and attacks there is no justification for the backlash brought upon the muslim community. Islamophobia only brings about hostility and assults, both physically and verbally, towards muslims. The number of hate crimes towards muslims has increased drastically and little to nothing has been done to stop these acts. Hate crimes against muslim include accusing someone of being a terrorist because they are muslims or blaming…

Muslims must be lucky because many people become interested in Islamic faith and study it but cannot become Muslim because of their background or because of the country they live in which has a high probability to be a western country that has islamophobia that can lead to dangerous crimes like the one that happened in Birmingham 3 years ago. The Guardian claimed that a 75-year-old man stabbed to death yards from his home may have been targeted in a racially motivated attack, according to police…

the Guardian. This seemingly innocent provision takes on a different connotation when paired with the knowledge that the seven countries listed have a Muslim majority. The travel ban is nothing more than a ban on Muslims, flourishing under the Islamophobia and xenophobia ushered in with the Trump Administration. The fear mongering tactics employed throughout Trump’s political campaign have paid off in his favor. In the end, it is the children that are caught in the ban that supposedly protects…

questioned islamophobia, by saying, “For instance, the rise in discrimination against Muslim immigrants/minorities in Western Europe and the United States after 9/11 has posed a crucial theoretical question: Is islamophobia a form of racism?” (Grosfoguel, Oso, and Christou 635). This to me is another thing that the media caused, “islamophobia.” It angers me that we have to still question if islamophobia is a form a racism because there is no need to question that. The definition of islamophobia…

Muslim Australians experience discrimination and abuse on a daily basis. It is prime time that this should be put to full stop in Australia. Communities say the discrimination has been particularly noticeable since the Lindt Cafe siege last year. Research has shown that while 20 percent of Catholics face discrimination, 48 percent of Muslims are experienced with discrimination. This places them at the top when it comes to harsh pointing out of religious differences. They are not a risk to the…

conflict with himself teaches the reader that you should always be honest through hard times, after Adnan was convicted it was obvious due to his lack of remembrance and his race, why they would frame him during this certain time. The fear of Islamophobia has been around for decades. The series of events that have taken place in our country have led people to believe all Muslims must face some sort of consequences. During the Serial podcast, I mostly believe that Adnan’s beliefs and…
