ABSTRACT
In 21th century, Europe reshaped politically, culturally and economically. With the 9/11 attack and the chaos in Middle East that associated with Arab Spring, xehophobia and racism arose in that century. This racism showed itself in political and social areas in Europe as cultural and religious discrimination, intolerance of foreigners. With leading Syria crisis, fleeing people to Europe are exposed to violance and racial discrimination. Xenophobic and racist language became popular in Europeans’ daily life.

Europeans see those people that are occupants into society and cultural environment. Xenophobic groups in Europe demand to preserve their culture from foreigners to be a member of European Union On the other hand, with the rising of terrorist attacks across the Europe appear Islamophobia. The mainstream discourse is that Islam is a violant religion and Muslims are violant people. Therefore, many Europeans saw the Muslims as potential terrorists and they refuse the sharing the same place with them. Traditional fascist parties and extremist parties on Europe use this xenophobic and racist language in order to rise its votes and to exclude them from political areas. The fascist parties have a general windows embraced a huge church membership against Islam, a broad ideological frame which are fascist, racist, xenophobes. They used the language of tradition and nation sovereignty rather than brotherhood, fatherland. These groups act regardless democracy and human
Q7. The Fascist nations were extremely powerful during their time, along with the strong leadership they provided. Fascism is a political movement which promotes extreme forms of militarism and nationalism. It includes the denial of individual rights and dictatorial one-party rule. Fascism has several characteristics; for example, social, chief examples, basic principles, political, economic, and cultural characteristics.
RACISM AND STEREOTYPES AGAINST MUSLIMS SINCE 9/11 Racism towards Muslims existed before the 9/11 terrorist attacks. The 9/11 attacks encouraged those who stereotyped them to keep doing so. The horrible 9/11 incident took place on September 11, 2001. The USA was the target of a terrorist strike carried out by militant Islamist extremist networks.
It will take a long time for communities to start mixing in more… Tony Blair addressed Muslims in particular, telling them that they need to sort out the problem within. That was a huge stereotype of the Islamic community.” As Hammasa states, when Muslims feel alienated by western culture, they may turn to extremism. “I feel after everything that 's happened Muslims are being stereotyped negatively. The whole community has been labelled and, whether they are guilty of crime or not, they are getting penalised for it.”
- “In Europe there are mixed opinions , some people are scared specifically of young men like you, who are travelling alone. There are a lot of people who say … you are coming to do problems in Europe, they are generally afraid of you,” Al Jazeera Journalist, Hoda Abdel-Hamid, asked a 27-year-old Iraqi refugee to response. - “I don’t think someone who travels all this way here, risking his own life, comes to cause problems. [He] is going to a country that recognizes his identity, humanity, his life and makes him feel he is a human being with rights.
Xenophobia in the 1920s In the 1920s, as immigration increased, the fear of war became an issue. This caused fighting and dehumanization of human beings because of their difference in race or skin color. The 1920s was a time of change, with the increase of inventions came more time for the individual. A change in lifestyle began when the television was invented, before the commonwealth of men often spent time working and if time off from their job was given, it was mainly spent with hard labor on the house such as painting the shutters.
Throughout history, many international migrants have journeyed to the United States to establish a new life with their family to ultimately achieve the American Dream. Along with them, they brought their cultural practices and religious beliefs which uniquely made them different. However, no one would expect the United States’ population to increase by millions during the nineteenth and twentieth centuries due to immigrants. As supported on page 361, “In the last half of the 19th century, the U.S. population more than tripled, from about 23.2 million in 1850 to 76.2 million in 1900.” (“United States History”).
In the nineteenth century, the United States was regarded for being the land of opportunity and shelter for immigrants. For many immigrants, the promise of not having to withstand the pressures of political, economic, and religious persecution in Europe helped boost thousands of people to come to the coast of Staten Island. Despite what the Americans conceived their roles towards immigrants to be, the perception of the immigrants to the real story of how they survived in America does not support the claim that America is a land of opportunity and shelter. The Russian Jews that emigrated had a different approach to the fulfillment of liberties promised by promotional books, such as Where to Emigrate and Why.
According to the FBI, 28 hate crimes committed in 2000 were found to be anti-Islamic”(Villemez). The outlook on the entire race is very bleak in comparison to what it was previous to 9/11. The measures taken by the government to try to improve national security will only continue to rise as more and more threats
This exhibits how xenophobic acts can greatly affect the mental state of mind of the person whom the act is against. The xenophobic acts can cause people to feel depressed and
Discrimination and are problematic parts of our culture tangled within the American history. For the majority of U.S. citizens these parts of our culture die out after the civil rights movement, but for the ethnic minorities this is far from the truth. These ugly aspects of our culture that once thrived in the shadows praying poor and minorities, has recently had light shed on it with event of the few years. The racial tension being made worst with statements being made by republican presidential front Donald Trump, saying we should ban Muslims from the country. These open discriminatory statements can have devastating effect the Muslim communities and our country as a whole.
Fascism is ideology which often uses totalitarianism and nationalism methods. The fascist leaders made people are the subject to the government, and limit the independency of the people, in order to gain the better for the nation. This is somehow similar to absolutism of western Europe during 17th and 18th century. Absolutism had given the monarch absolute power to rule over people, while fascism had given the leader and the nation the power to rule over the people of the state. Moreover, fascism had denied the democratic parliament system, and had only allowed the “elite” to rule over the country.
Have you ever heard the saying that Fascism and Communism are two sides of the same coin? These ideologies flourished during the first half of the 20th century and influenced several European states which followed the two ideologies. Fascism was imposed in order to promote powerful and permanent nationalism within a totalitarian state led by a dictator which is ready to engage in conflict internally and with its neighbors. The doctrine of Fascism was drafted in 1919 by Giovanni Gentile and adopted by Mussolini (Mussolini is considered the founder of fascism). Gentile stated, “Everything for the state; nothing against the state” (Heywood, Politics 48).
Islamophobia. A serious, distressing issue in our world. It is supposedly prejudiced against Islam or Muslims, but is it really? Every terrorist attack caused by any bearded man of colour is known as “Islamic terrorism” but if the attack is caused by a white man, he suddenly becomes “mentally unstable”.
The nineteenth century isolationism was a movement of the United States to become an independent nation. They did not want allies and they wanted to be their own country. Meaning they did not want to be part of the UN. A lot of countries at the tim were becoming independent at the time because they felt compelled as a nation to come together in union. A lot of countries did not realize at the time that because their was a strong sense of nationalism.
Thesis statement Hundreds of thousands of refugees and migrants fleeing war or seeking new lives have flooded into Europe. Many countries are struggling to cope with the crisis. According the news from CNN:”Austria, Germany near tipping point”
