One of the main stereotypes that arose after 9/11 was that Muslims and Arabs were linked to radical Islam and terrorism due to the 15 out of 19 attackers were Muslims. ( New York Pakistanis) This stereotype that arose was a big distrupement of American citizens who practiced Islam. Their everyday lives were altered drastically, for example many Arab organizations were vandalized like Mosques were bombed and vandalized. ( New York Pakistanis 1) Muslims and Arabs suffered greatly from these hate crime, these such crimes have a serious effect on their lifestyles.
This form of accusing someone of something has been seen in the year 2001 as well. When the twin towers were brought down people of muslim descent were discriminated against and persecuted due to their heritage. During the time people were accusing almost any muslim person of being a terrorist. People are doomed to do the same thing when they are scared and they don't trust the very people that live amongst them. This is Historical force present as history is doomed to repeat
It is unfair to link other ‘regular’ Muslim Americans as terrorists. In “Why Trump Makes Me Scared For My Family”, Aziz Ansari effectively informs his audience that being Muslim should not be linked to terrorism. He does this through his use of data, personal stories, and his credibility. Because he is Muslim American, Ansari is a credible source for this issue.
Sometimes people blamed others, because they disliked them. In Today’s world, in the U.S., people feel a sort of discomfort being around Muslims, and Islamics. This commenced after 9/11 where groups of Muslims hijacked 3 planes and flew them into the Twin Towers in New York. This
One reason to why Arabs and Muslims are being dehumanized is because of 9/11. Nour Sami Kteily, assistant professor of management and organizations at Northwestern University says, “When people feel like their group is coming under attack from another group … it may increase the blatant levels of dehumanization. " What he is talking about is the attacks of 9/11. Muslims were to blame for this attack, so now some people think that all Muslims are bad. In reality only a tiny percentage of Muslims are extreme like Al-Qaeda.
People are so afraid of what has been done by some Muslim terrorists that their fear has caused them to make assumptions and group all Muslims into one
There are many fake assumptions that people from the US assume about muslim people. People think since one person did something bad that everyone of that religion is the same. Now muslim people can have a harder time getting onto planes because they now have to deal with stereotypes caused by events like 911. Altho some muslims can fit under those assumptions, it doesn 't mean that every muslim does. Not all americans make this assumption either.
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
After 9/11 happened things changed drastically for specifically Muslim people. Anyone who looked similar to a “terrorist” was categorized as a terrorist, which is something that should not be assumed and should not be taken lightly by anyone. Many Muslims were scared for their lives and did not want to partake in their traditional values, such as wearing a headscarf because they did not want to be confronted by anyone. People also chose to change their names because when people would hear the name “Mohammed” people were very quick to judge who you were and would treat you very different. A study shows that in 2001 after 9/11 a record high 481 hate crimes against Muslims happened, and they were ranging from Muslim’s being murdered,
Americans think they are a menace to society. Muslims in the United States perceive a lot of discrimination against their religious group, are leery of Trump, and think Americans do not see Islam as part of mainstream U.S. society (Pew Research Center, 2017). According to Brown’s 2015 article, Soumaya Khalifa of Atlanta, Georgia, knows people see her headscarf and immediately make assumptions about her. “They think that I'm not American," she says. "They assume I'm not educated -- and that I'm oppressed” (Brown, 2015).
That is when they are called terrorist. Muslim Americans were given that name because of the 9/11 attack (Ali, 2011). Later on, Americans called Muslim Americans terrorist even though lots of Muslims had nothing to do with 9/11. Also, the percentage of Americans who liked the view of Islam went down when it got closer to the present day. For instance, Dean Obeidallah on Daily Beast stated in October 2001, about 47 percent of Americans liked the view of Islam.
People assume that because someone is Islam or Muslim that they must be a terrorist, and they become weary of them to protect themselves. These situations demonstrate how permitting self-preservation to lead to hysteria causes destruction and hurt throughout the community. If not fixed, these situations will lead the destruction of the world. The theme of hysteria and self-preservation is evident throughout The Crucible and in real life.
Some people do not understand Muslim culture or beliefs. All they see is the extreme part of the culture. Some people are ignorant to all the other aspects of Muslim culture, thus they make Muslims out to be
People just see some one and they will judge them. Muslims are the most judge and dangerous according to people that do not like them or dont like what people from there did to us here in the united states. I dont get why people judge each other god made all of us to love each other not to judge each other. Why do we judge each other we all can help each other. Muslims are not enemies .
People in America have the idea that Muslims, are more likely to make terrorist attacks on American soil because of 9/11, the Boston Marathon Attack, and Los Angeles
