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. Just like how some muslims think americans are rude and racist, but not all muslims think this way. People always assume that when there is a bombing, shooting, etc that it is a muslim. People put racist, rude and false things about muslims all the time. When people do this it is taken as a joke, then …show more content…
Army officer who died while serving in the Iraq War was a low point in a campaign full of hateful rhetoric.”Its rumors like this that give muslims a bad image. Would you want him to be your president if you were the victim. “The same people who brought us “terror babies,” “death panels,” the “Ground Zero Mosque,” “Islamo-fascism,” “the Axis of Evil” and other dime-a-dozen memes that turn viral overnight, are purposefully manufacturing fear of Muslims.” People that put these negative things are causing a hate crime on muslims. The more people that see these posts, the more people will be racist at muslims. The more people are racist the more issues muslims will have with bullying. How would we feel it their shoes. I wouldn 't like it. We need to start using empathy. They would definitely like switching shoes with us, because people are very rude to them. “Muslims are often mistranslating or misinterpreting. Many of the articles hosted at WikiIslam deal in addressing these falsehoods, and to list them all here would be an impossible task. Some notable instances of deception include, Jamal Badawi and Tariq Ramadan who both agree that wife-beating is permitted but claim Muhammad never resorted to
In today's world, the terrorist group ISIS is guessed to be located around Syria. This has started stereotypes and false statements offending people from Syria. Muslims are the main targets to these specific stereotypes of them being terrorists.

In 2003, a student in New Jersey was continuously called “Osama Bin Laden,” and was hit on the head, which resulted in contusions. A week after that, twelve-year-old Gurprit Kaur had three inches of her hair cut off from the bottom. She attended a public school in Flushing, Queens. Students have had to move schools, states, and even countries as a result of getting bullied and intimidated by their peers. Profiling of those who seem Muslim, Including Sikhs, is still frequent in the United States.
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.
“9/11 changed America fundamentally, far more so than outsiders realized at the time. For Americans it genuinely was a new Pearl Harbour, an attack on the homeland that made them feel vulnerable for the first time in 60 years,” (Powell, 2003). The terrorist attacks of 9/11 affect America today because they instigated the creation of the Department of Homeland Security and the “War on Terror,” and led to an increase in anti-Muslim hate crimes. “Often referred to as 9/11, the attacks resulted in extensive death and destruction, triggering major U.S. initiatives to combat terrorism and defining the presidency of George W. Bush,” (9/11, 2010). The most noticeable of these effects was the creation of the Department of Homeland Security.
No matter religion or race you are, everyone should be treated with the same respect and should not be stereotyped for what they belief. Eggers teaches us a lot about Muslims and wants us to take all this knowledge in an everyday situation of a Muslim being harassed or
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).
As a result, the media that cover these events dictate what and how they are shared. However, it only helps to feed our sense of fear towards terrorism as well as fuel the Muslim stereotype. In fact, according to a study on deconstructing the terrorism- news media relationship, “terrorists use media as a tool to gain increased coverage and communicate their message,” but sometimes the news does it for them (Ross). For example, in the UCLA shooting, where two men were killed in a murder-suicide, the news’ portrayal of the situation led many to believe that there were multiple attackers instead of just the one. While this may not directly convey terrorists’ message, it helps to spread unnecessary fear of terrorism in our communities.
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.
Slavery and 9/11 is the cause for the hate towards these two communities. Society being predominantly white for centuries instilled this white supremacy ideology. When society puts the white community on a pedestal, and they degrade and discriminate towards the Muslim and black community. This shouldn 't be swept under the rug. This backwards thinking shouldn’t persist to this day.

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
Isn’t that injustice towards everyone non-white? One thing I know is that the internet doesn’t seem to think that. Firstly, Islam is the religion of peace and Muslim belief is based on peace. As far as I know, terrorism is not peaceful and framing Islam is just history repeating itself, remember the Ku Klux Klan (KKK), didn’t they misrepresent Christianity?
CNN states that, “A Duke University study found more terrorism suspects and perpetrators were brought to the attention of law enforcement by members of the Muslim-American community than were discovered through U.S. government investigations. And a Pew survey found that roughly half of U.S. Muslims say their religious leaders aren 't speaking out enough against Islamic extremism” (Yan). Many Americans have the misconception that most Muslims are bad and want to harm those who don’t believe in what they believe in. These facts from the surveys and studies would ease Americans’ minds by showing that the Muslim faith is trying to speak out against these attacks. This would show the good that Muslims are doing and will continue to do in the
