Anti-Americanism meaning opposite or hostile over the American people, government or policy. In the Middle East counties, anti-Americanism is a common thing. It already been there since several years ago, since the establishment of Israel state in the middle of Palestine. Even before that phase, US-Arab countries was a ‘friend’. The last time the United States was unequivocally loved was in 1919 when Woodrow Wilson spoke about the right to national self-determination. The Arabs saw in that very American principle the prospects of their freedom from colonial rule. As the century wore on, it became clear that the United States supported—albeit very ambivalently at first—the Jews' as well as the Arabs' right to national self-determination in Palestine …show more content…
The film is about 14 minutes trailer titled Innocence of Muslims, the movie depicts the Prophet Muhammad in what Muslims say is a derogatory manner. Lots of Muslim countries in Middle East and others protested to some diplomatic mission and caused US Ambassador, Chris Stevens and three embassy officials are killed in US Consulate in Libya . These kind of thing lead the anti-Americanism into deeply hatred over US.
Overall, the main cause of anti-Americanism arise in Arab world is because the US policy that assessed much harm Arab surrounding and Muslims, only for its own interest. The other factor that based on religion appears are not solely about religion or kin relationship, yet it truly affected by the US policy.
In response to the emergence of anti-Americanism by the Arab Worlds, the US tried to fix it. Due to the high important of public perception toward its country. Some Muslim counties in Middle East, anti-Americanism remains pervasive. If there is an aid from US, the majority of Muslim countries doubt the sincerity. Instead, most say it is an effort to control Middle East oil and to try to have hegemony power over Arabs world. According to US, those hatred can lead to terrorism and US government need some
In 520 AD, the prophet and messenger Muhammad came to spread Allah's word, and his followers became the first Muslims. Islam spread rapidly and this was was due to the choices that the leaders made through cultural diffusion, strategy for the wage of war, and esteemed morals. When Muslim merchants would trade, they would also spread the culture of Islam. The strategic wage of war helped Islam uphold a strong empire. The desirable morals of the faith led people into becoming Muslim.
I will be writing about how the Early Islamic Empire expanded. Islam expanded by Muslims invading other territories. This helps them expand Islam because once they invade; they take charge, and expand. This information is from Document A. Another way they expanded Islam was that they joined forces.
As Foster (2006) analyzed, on account that the transitional government were not entitled to sign any long term oil contracts, the US government had to strengthen its geopolitical influence in the region. Expectedly, the US’ privatization of the Iraqi oil enterprises after a year denotes the promulgation of neoliberal economic model in Iraq, which guarantees the US’ economic benefit acquired from the oil trade (Foster, 2006). Seeing that the war in Iraq and the privatization of Iraqi oil corporates occurred chronologically, one cannot help but wonder if the US plotted to disguise its bona fide, yet unscrupulous, conspiracy by waging its war on terrorism in the Middle East. As priorly mentioned, detailing the military to maneuver the other country for economic benefits is one of the perquisites to imperialist regime.
When America, as we know it today, was created, it had just freed itself from an unwanted, suffocating European power. The people wanted nothing to do with foreign affairs and their presidents’ policies reflected that. As America moved forward and established themselves as a world power, they began to want more. At the turn of the twentieth century, this want for more hit its peak and because of other circumstances, more was just within reach. America had always prided themselves in staying out of foreign problems and focusing inward, but now a new age was dawning.
PARAGRAPH #1: INTRO: The Crusades impacted many people and major religious groups negatively and positively from Europe to the Middle East. MAIN POINT A: Trade in science, ideas, and goods (positively/to West)
Imperialism was a controversial idea that a nation can extend its power outward through means of diplomatic or military force. This often results in a shift of power from one major force currently in control to another. The people of that nation under control conflict may also experience wars, rebellions, or cultural destruction. Looking at some of these events, we see some positives and negatives of imperialistic action taken by the United States, and how it affected the nations imperialized by the United States. For starters, let’s look at Hawaii’s annexation.
Samira Ahmed’s realistic fiction novel, Love, Hate, and Other Filters, takes place in modern-day Chicago where a suicide bombing has engrossed the attention of America. Maya Aziz, a Muslim teenager, is targeted for her heritage while attempting to lead a life free of high school drama, controlling parents, and difficult relationships. As Maya copes with Islamophobia, prejudice against Muslims, she begins to understand the horrors and shortcomings of violence. One lesson the story suggests is that hatred is an infectious and blinding motive. From the very beginning of the story, readers are familiarized with the source of terrorism through thorough description and sentence structure.
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
Osama Bin Laden was an anti-American for a long time. When Muslims were attacked in Somalia, Westerners gave support, enraging Bin Laden. Many members of Al-Qaeda found the United State’s support of Israel infuriating. Osama Bin Laden believed that Islam is the superior religion.
As America became a great power, it has continued its legacy of territorial expansionism through neo-imperialist policies. Aside from acquiring land and expanding American territory, the United States has established policies that have allowed direct and often indirect military and political control, economic exploitation, and the introduction of American ideals. The U.S. has justified this form of colonialism by claiming that it is for mutual economic pursuits, the spreading of democracy, and the establishment of stable governments in developing countries. Despite America’s noble causes, American imperialism has caused many repercussions. The United States should cease to be an imperialist power as it is economically damaging to countries under its rule, costly to America, violates the fundamental American principle of self-governance, and exacerbates social and political situations in countries America has tampered with.
Other countries and groups point of view of America is the total opposite of ours. Some of the countries are Palestinian Territories, Pakistan, Lebanon,Yemen, Iraq, Egypt, Slovenia, Iran, and Tunisia. People who live in America wonder why all the other countries hate us; moreover, it’s the way we handle our leadership. "They 've had enough of the New World Order. And an alliance of 133 countries, two-thirds of the nations on Earth, signed an agreement this weekend to end the New World Order.”
Because of this, Americans began to live in a state of paranoia. They worried that their homeland might become victim to another terrorist attack. Americans questioned everyone and everything, specifically Muslims. Many people assumed that just because the terrorists in the 9/11 attacks were Muslim, that every Muslim must be a terrorist. Muslims, or anyone slightly perceived to be Muslim, were hated and feared.
Lights, camera, action! No, this isn’t about a movie. It’s about the public being behind screens recording and having the ability to say whatever they want, to muslims and other minority races. These races are being discriminated on media. Civilians who might go over on these news articles, blogs, posts, tweets, might have different emotions on how to feel.
America’s path from George Washington’s Farewell Address to FDR’s Four Freedoms Speech has been one of increasing involvement on the world stage. In 1796, America had only been an independent nation separated from mother England for twenty years. Naturally, the dangers of being made subservient to another nation were more real, having so recently been a reality. Washington’s remarks that “attachments [to foreign nations] are particularly alarming to the truly enlightened and independent patriot” (Source A), then, make perfect sense given the fresh memories of British rule that Americans still had.
“In the light of the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks upon the United States and the subsequent outbursts from Muslim groups in response to Western aggression in the Middle East, most Americans consider Islamic radicals to be fundamentalists who have married religion to violence. In truth, Islamic fundamentalists enjoy popular support in Arab countries because of their reformist agendas and their opposition to Western-supported dictators.” This piece of evidence shows that Colonialism in the Middle East did not agree with what the United States was deciding, therefore they decided to attack
