Imagine traveling through the Sahara Desert with 60,000 other people for four months. This is what it was like on Mansa Musa’s hajj. Mansa Musa was the king of Mali; he was a powerful and generous leader. Mansa Musa went on hajj because he was a Muslim. He wanted to show his commitment to Islam. Mansa Musa’s hajj influenced the world’s perception of West Africa because it showed how many people were Muslim and the amount of resources West Africa had.

On December 17,2013, Karim Meskine was found brutally attacked in british Columbia. The 19 year old was found unconscious a few blocks away from the 22nd street skytrain in Westminster. Meskine was later found unconscious by a passerby and he was taken to the hospital right away. He spend days in a coma and was unable to survive because his injuries were severe. The police looked over all the evidence of the assault and found out that a 16 year old boy attacked the young adult with a baseball bat.
One particularly striking observation made by Abu-Laban & Nath (2007) is that the selective attribution of citizenship status generally worked to deny the systematic racialized nature of the government’s actions in Arar’s case (pp.86, 88 & 91). While this removal of racialized rhetoric certainly in itself is problematic, I wonder if it is even more costly in depriving society of an opportunity to discuss the issues surrounding broader securitization policies. This article also raised the difficulties in resolving the conflicting mandates of multiculturalism and a culture of suspicion that permeates more than the mentalities of law-enforcement (Abu-Laban & Nation, 2007, pp.74 & 78). This reminds me of Gilbert’s (2007) assertion that “while multiculturalism has been perceived as a security risk, the new security agenda is also a risk for multiculturalism” (p.28). Yet, the question remains as to how to navigate the proper balance between the two, or whether these two concepts can simply not

People assume all Muslims have terrorist affiliations, alienating and outcasting them. Many followers of Islam cannot walk in the streets without being subjected to the burning glare of their fellow citizens. Mosques become targets of vandalism and violent anti-Islamic acts. “Muslims in America say they are more likely to be the victims of crime than the perpetrators” (Blank). In an interview with CBS, nursing student Sameya Omarkheil recalls the treatment she received after the tragedy in Paris.
Even a decade after 9/11 Muslims still received hate threats, such as, burning the holy Koran on the anniversary of 9/11 and vandalizing Mosques. According to “Gendered Islamophobia: Hate Crime Against Muslim Women” “In Ann Arbor, Michigan, on August 7, 2011, a motorist pulled up to a 21-year-old Palestinian woman while she was stopped at a red light and screamed racial epithets, yelling, ‘You’re a terrorist,’ and, ‘Your people need to be killed,’ before pointing a handgun at her” (Perry 84). These types of scenarios are happening all throughout the US today. Disha et al. , states, while racially and ethically motivated hate crimes declined after 9/11, the number of Arab/Muslim hate crimes dramatically increased (40).

Kania Rimu is a goal-setter but more importantly, a go-getter. I met Kania in 2012 while she was in the 9th grade and, she was a very shy and unassuming young lady, very much someone who would blend into the background. In 2015, she is not that girl. As quickly as 2013 rolled in, Kania made a name for herself, by pushing for the chance to take two advanced math classes at the same time. Although this may seem like an easy feat, it is an abnormality at Forest Hills High School. She pitched her goals and expectations to the administration and opted to take 8 classes in her sophomore year and she still achieved significantly strong grades. She has kept moving educationally forward each year, taking various advanced placement and honors courses
