The American Of The German Language Essay

Post 9/11 negative stereotypes and attitudes toward Muslims intensified in many Western societies. “The FBI recorded a sixteen-fold increase in hate crimes (e.g., acts of arson, aggravated assault, property crimes) against Muslim Americans from 2001 to 2002” (Rodriguez Mosquera & Khan & Selya, 2013). All of this goes to show that Non-Muslim Americans were taking out their emotions on innocent Muslims. Not only was all this going on, but the U.S. Congress’ response to the attacks was the USA Patriot Act. The USA Patriot Act gave, “the government investigative powers to fight against terrorism and subsequently targeted those in the Arab, Muslim, and South Asian communities with not just prejudices against these communities, but blatant racism toward innocent people, just because they appear to look like they “identify” with those who have made terrorist threats” (Akiyama, 2008). The discrimination post 9/11 was awful. The hijab which was seen as a prideful garment for Muslims became a target for discrimination. In the article, “9/11 Ten Years Later: Muslim Women, Organizations Work to Fight Discrimination, Patel talks about a woman, Wasan Mohamad. Mohamad talks about how she and her friends/family were discriminated against ten years after 9/11. Her daughter in class got told that her people were responsible for 9/11. Her friend changed his name from

Muslims are one of the most marginalized people in the U.S for their beliefs and their religion but after 9/11 discrimination and hate crimes against them had become even worse.Throughout the U.S people have been “Anti-Islam” and believed that the Muslim’s religion is absurd, want muslims to change their beliefs or, leave the country.According to “Anti-Islman Discourse in the United States in the Decade After 9/11:The Role of Social Conservatives and Cultural Politics”by David D.Belt on page 211-212, talks about how a post on Charisma News with an article title “Why I am Absolutely Islamophobic” was urging at the fact that Muslim-Americans needed to be deported as soon as possible ,or go under sterilization.Also Belt talks about one of Bush’s family friend being,Franklin Graham saying that he thinks the muslim’s religion is “very evil “and “wicked”.One last example a man named Gabriel had said Islam is the real enemy of America and that we supposedly “we will be doomed in war if we don’t realize it”. People are so brainwashed it honestly insane and very ignorant at the things people think about Muslims, its barbaric.They believe what Muslims believe in and their religion is wrong and they should switch to “Christianity” because it is the “American way “ or have them deported because the do not belong there and are “terrorist”.

Historically, the United States of America has a long history of shaping its ideology from a series of significant events that hold unspeakable brutality. This leads Americans to draw conclusions, which often leads to denouncing a particular body of people. For example, the enslavement of African Americans, the decimation of Native Americans, and the internment of Japanese Americans during World War II. Currently, while enduring several years in the U.S., Muslim Americans face similar difficulties as a human being would. However, these hardships differ because they include U.S. discrimination triggered by 9/11, current terrorist events, and negative reinforcement from the media and the general public. Muslim Americans experience the harmful effects of terrorism because acts of terrorism influence the way the U.S. views and thinks about Muslims.

Muslims now, suffer from discrimination in America ever since the 9-11 Era. Some people believe that muslims were the reason why 9-11 and other terrorists attacks happened. The hate for American-Muslims has increased by 78%. Even our president, Donald Trump, wanted a ban on immigration by Muslims. The anti-Muslim hate and violence have reportedly increased rapidly after Donald Trump’s comments on the Muslims. Social media and the news for months

Throughout the years there have been several hate crimes or laws put in place to put down the muslim community, two of the most recent and most controversial examples of discrimination towards the muslim community would be president donald j. Trumps attempt to pass both a muslim registry and a ban on all muslims coming in the U.S. thankfully the bills weren't passed, this however does show the level in which some americans are willing to go to in order to remove a “threat to society” this also show the change in americans psychi making racism and discrimination socially acceptable more and more when even the government is making it seem acceptable to discriminate thus increasing the amount of hate crimes towards

After 9/11, Americans had immediately started to stereotype Muslims to being terrorists. Ever since the planes hit, the media had portrayed the Islamic culture as if they were all terrorists. This makes it to where all Americans become fueled to become a stereotype culture towards the Islamic religion (Jolls). There was a guy by the name of Aziz Ahsan he is a Muslim that was in the event of 9/11. He says that “Muslims died and Muslims survived 9/11”. He also said that “People just automatically assume that Muslims were not the survivors."(Frumin). With this the Muslims will not be able to ever come out and live a normal American life without the antagonism of

since September 11th? How have they stayed the same? Because of the media’s portrayal of Arabs as “evil” and “a threat”, most Americans perceived them as such. The Muslim and Middle Eastern community did not have such attention before the incident. Most Americans had already seen Middle Easterners has a strange and dubious group for the customs and common, religious practices; but it only got worse following the attack. Since 9/11, people began to perpetuate the stereotype that “all Middle Easterners/Muslim Americans were terrorists” as well as “all Middle Easterners are Muslim” and the people were consistently scrutinized. These harmful assumptions has instilled a sense of apprehension in the Muslim community due to their fear of being publicly discriminated. In contrast, the attack was not widely approved by Middle Easterners and Muslim community; the community responded by saying that it had been orchestrated by extremists whose action did not represent the entirety of their

Muslims Americans became the enemy in their own country overnight, not just because of a shortage of information, but also misinformation, and media reports sharing only the negative stories about Muslim-Americans. Just because a particular group of Islamic people act a certain way doesn 't mean that everyone who follows Islam acts in the same manor. People who believe that this is true judge all Muslims based on misconceptions, what they see in the media and lack of education on the religion.

Arab Americans have been targets of discrimination long before the 9/11 event happened. If they are immigrants in America, they are seen as bombers or terrorists. And if they are American citizens, they are seen as spies. The way Arabs are portrayed in Hollywood movies have been reflected in the way the government and society as a whole view them. And the way Americans show their discrimination is by rejecting or denying Arabs in all aspects of society which makes it harder for them to succeed. Overall, Arab Americans are seen as dangerous and threatening to Americans. Because they were being harassed all the time, they have a harder time adapting and participating in the American society. All young Americans have a hard time finding

My Grandma was just eleven years old at the beginning of WW2. Life in Germany was already harsh because of the repercussions of WW1. During WW2, she was able to remain in her home located in Darmstadt Germany, but after catastrophic bombings, the city was left in ruins. By the end of the war, her home was destroyed and Germany was in shambles. The only thing she could do was come to America and hope for a better life.

Muslim stereotypes lead to discrimination of Arabs and Muslim-Americans. Many people believe false stereotypes about Muslims and middle easterners. Common stereotypes are that the mid east and the people from there are cave-dwelling, uncivilized people. Many movies depict the middle east as a desert fill with shacks and people plotting to take over America. The movie Iron Man literally shows the main character getting stuck in a small middle eastern town that is filled with nothing but explosives, ammunition, and caves. The end result to these stereotypes is discrimination against Muslims and middle easterners. According to FBI statistic, anti-Muslim prejudice accounted for 21.9% of religious hate crimes (Hossain 82). Muslims only account for about one percent of Americas population so the huge difference in the statistics show the discrimination and overall poor treatment of an entire religion

I do think that it is human nature for us to be discriminating them the way we do. I feel as humans we are judgmental. We don't wait until we meet someone to judge them. The first thing we see is appearance and that it is where our initial judgement is made. Muslims dress much like the people in terrorist groups, like ISIS, dress. I also feel like ignorance is another contribution to the discrimination of Muslims. We as Americans are not well educated on the Muslim religion. We hear Muslim and immediately think of terrorist because of social media and the news. With the lack of intelligence on Muslim faith and the human nature of judging by appearance, Muslims are very prone to be discriminated as terrorist. It is the same thing as all black people are athletic. I do not think it is fair to people of Muslim faith to be discriminated as terrorist. They are just as nice and hard working as any other U.S citizens. White Americans go and kill a group of people for no reason but we don't discriminate all white Americans for murderers. We should be enlightened on Muslim faith so we understand the Muslim Americans who live among us. I feel this would bring us, as American citizens, closer together and bring down another racial

To what degree do the words you use define the person you are? This is a central question in the hotly debated issue of making English the official language of the United States. If English did become the official language, the rights of people who do not speak English would be violated and the nation would be further segregated. Just as schools were segregated in our past, this again would show that segregation equals discrimination. People must understand that every citizen deserves the right to celebrate their diversity. The government need not interfere with the words that come out of people's mouths. In a country torn by prejudice and segregation, the official language should serve as a reminder

There are many misconceptions that are assumed about the Arab and Muslims American culture. Many of these misconceptions derive from experiences as a country, as well as personal experiences as a culture. Because of the on-going stereotypical remarks, the Arab culture suffer

Germany has been remarkably called Das Land der Dichter und Denker (the land of poets and thinkers).
