The report considered the levels of discrimination experienced by Muslims in the second part. And Shows how research conducted prior to 9/11 already showed that Muslims were the most likely to report very serious problems or experiences in relation to 7 out of 9 indicators of unfair treatment (p.17), it added that things had become far worse since 9/11. And discrimination was based upon Religion rather than ‘race’ or ethnicity, echoing the EUMC report’s acknowledgement that individuals were being increasingly targeted on the visible markers of what it was perceived to be Muslim
America along with the other parts of the world have changed since the 9/11 terrorist attacks. Our whole security system has changed to become suspicious of everyone. Traveling out of the country and even within the United States can be a hassle with having proper ID, passport and searches. Passengers can not have a certain amount of liquid in their bags if they are carrying their bags onto the plane. The arrival time is now 2-3 hours before the flight time in past time it was only one hour.

How have the events of 9/11 and its aftermath shaped what it means to be an American? Consider the actions the government has taken after these events, how it changed people 's lives and how you think of yourself living in a post-9/11 America. “Consider that before September 11, 2001, there was no cohesive system in place to vet passengers in advance of flying; only limited technologies in place for uncovering a wide array of threats to passengers or aircraft; no comprehensive federal requirements to screen checked or carry-on baggage; and only minimal in-flight security on most flights” People stood frozen in front of their TVs for hours watching in disbelief as replays showed airlines fly into buildings and skyscrapers tumble before 9/11 you could stroll to the gate at the airport without a ticket and greet family and friends as they arrived or see them off as they
Do you agree with the notion that the United States Government has seriously discriminated against Muslims in post 9/11 era? In this paper I will argue whether the United States Government has seriously discriminated against Muslims in post 9/11 era or not. On this topic, I chose to agree with the notion that yes, Muslims have been discriminated against by the United States Government especially after the events of 9/11. First, I will argue that the United States Government has implemented procedures and regulations against Muslims that violate constitutional law in response to the events of 9/11.
The general argument made by Jamie Dailey in “Modern- day Witch Hunts: Broadly targeting the Muslim Community is antithetical to America’s founding ideas” is that after the terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001 the Muslim Community seems to be targeted. More specifically, Dailey is stating that the irrational fear and paranoia present in American Society causes racial and religious discrimination of the Muslims. Dailey writes about mosques, which are Islamic places of worship, and how they have been recently targeted. Dailey writes, “ In Glendale, Arizona, a bottle filled with acid was thrown at a mosque while mosque officials stood nearby. In Bridgeport, Connecticut, protestors picketed a mosque celebrating Ramadan and shouted slurs”
American Identity Our world has seen many events that have shaped our country today. From wars in Iraq, to WW1 and WW2, to ISIS bombings. People have their own opinion on what they think shaped this country, but I believe it is the attacks on our beloved country. These attacks are what has shaped our country how it is today.
Prior to 9/11 Muslim Americans faced little to zero discrimination in the US because of their race or religion. Muslim Americans are targeted and stereotyped against. In the years 2001-2003 the number of hate crimes throughout the Muslim community
The term "Islamophobia" is used to describe racism toward Muslims. It is an aversion to or bias against Islam or Muslims, particularly when used as a political tool. Muslims were abused both verbally and physically. Numerous Muslims have reported feeling disrespected by people in the West on a global scale. In this essay, I'll talk about how advertisements since 9/11 have portrayed Muslims in stereotypical
A study found that there was a 153% increase in workplace discrimination against Muslims following 9/11. In airports, TSA security has been boosted, but those with an Arabic appearance are susceptible to biased screenings, pat downs, and in some cases, being
A date that has gone down infamously in America’s history is the tragic event that occurred on September 11, 2001. This date was a turning point in the world, and many changes could be seen, such as the addition of the TSA in airports and increased security. However, one of the lesser known effects was the sense of fear that was unconsciously instilled within our communities. Today, this fear is represented through our heightened awareness towards terrorism, and the increased distance we tend to place between ourselves and our fellow community members. While 9/11 was a day most noted for its horrific display of terror and the loss of many lives, it was also the day that we, as a nation, lost our sense of security and replaced it with a sense
It is one of those days that everyone remembers what he or she was doing, who they were with and what happened afterward. Everyone heard the stories of the guy stuck in traffic and didn’t make it on time or the woman who decided to call in a sick day. It’s a memorable day that affected everyone one way or another; some people were affected more than others. However it was the birth of extreme ignorance among the American people. 9/11 was a hard day for everyone, even for a small Arab kindergartener like myself at the time.
After the incident, he leaved the mosque for one year. Parents also fear for their children practicing in the Islamic religion fearing that they will be bullied. In Irving, Texas there was an incident of a 14 year old boy, Ahmed Mohamed, who was arrested for bringing in a homemade clock to school just because of his Islamic background. The Islamic community get racially profiled the most in airports. Security will bring over middle-eastern families to questioning just because of their appearance and behavior.
This rhetoric can encourage for more terrorism to take place, especially in the Western world where this rhetoric is most prevalent. Anti-Muslim rhetoric can encourage terrorism because it causes some Muslims to feel hatred toward Westerners and be violent to Westerners as a result. Therefore, I have come to the conclusion after reviewing all of the information given, that ethnic profiling should not be used to prevent terrorism. Not only does profiling encourage terrorist acts, it has a countless amount of ethical implications as explained by the Open Society Justice Initiative. This source persuaded me that ethnic profiling is ineffective, supported by studies that have been conducted.
Final Essay: The Aftermath of September 11th, 2001 Kinza Khan American History II Dr. David Goldberg February 26th, 2023 One of the most tragic incidents in American history, September 11th, has forever left an empty hole for so many Americans. So many families broken, misplaced, and lives lost due to the series of events that took place that day. There have been many conspiracy theories that this attack was a terrorist attack of coordinated attacks on the twin towers of the World Trade Center in New York City by extremist members of Islam known as the Al-Qaeda. Other theories point fingers at President George W. Bush for the attacks and blamed the Muslims for it since they are always being targeted anyway. The list of
Before September 11, 2001, the stereotypes heaped upon the average Arab-American were evidence of Hollywood’s, and to a greater extent society’s, casual racism. According to the documentary “Reel Bad Arabs,” based on the book by Jack Shaheen, the United States’ idea of Arabs and their culture was borrowed from the Europeans. Orientalism had pervaded the dominant discourse surrounding Arabs in that continent, and the United States adopted it. Arabs were quickly scorned and mocked in media. Shaheen explained, “nearly 25% of all Hollywood movies that demeaned Arabs contain gratuitous slurs or portray Arabs as the butt of a cheap joke.”
Another important section highlighted in The Long-Durée Entanglement Between Islamophobia and Racism in the Modern/Colonial Capitalist/Patriarchal World-System is Islamophobia as epistemic racism. This view on Islamophobia argues
