Anti-Muslim Hate Groups
The hate group that I chose to research was the Anti-Muslim hate groups in the United States. After the attacks on September 11, 2001 there has been a rise in the number of Muslim hate groups. The people in these groups see Muslims as “irrational, intolerant and violent.”(SPLC) They also believe that The Muslim community is a danger to America and its people. The Muslim hate groups suspect that Muslims are trying to convert American Democracy into their own law, which in most cases is Shariah law. Their hate for Muslims may spark major conflicts in the future but could also die off in the next few years.
1. Anti-Muslim hate groups have been intact for many years but after the attacks on September 11, 2001 the number of anti-Muslim groups has

    Furthermore to why Americans should not assume all Muslims are terrorists is because Muslims hate terrorism. According to Dean Obeidallah, a writer for The Daily Beast, there are two biggest Muslim- American groups, ISNA and CAIR, who denounced ISIS. CAIR stated, “American Muslims view the actions of ISIS as un-Islamic and morally repugnant. No religion condones the murder of innocent civilians, beheadings of religious scholars or the desecration of houses of worship.” Obeidallah provides us with favorability ratings for Muslims in the U.S. that had fallen from 36 percent to 27 percent in 2010. When people are exposed to seeing only the negative activities caused by Muslims, they naturally believe the worst of it. Obeidallah states there are…

    Informative Essay On 9/11

    Evidence: When RJ Khalaf was in highschool he ran for student body president, people said he wouldn’t get elected because who he was, or what he believed in. When he was running for president one of RJ’s fellow classmates publicly shared online a hurtful comment, tweeting “If you vote for RJ, you obviously enjoyed 9/11.” Explain: People all over America were scared of Muslims after 9/11. Which resulted to those people pointing out everyone who looked, seemed, or acted like a Muslim. Rj for instance, knew that the terrorist didn’t share the same beliefs, and were not like him. But he also knew that a lot of people weren’t going to understand that. Link: RJ may have received racist comments, but he achieved his goal and became the first Muslim student body president at his high school. He also created a Muslim student association at his school to cover any hateful categorized things about…

    Post 9/11 Argumentative Essay

    “All men are created equal and are endowed by their creator the unalienable rights of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness”. In these United States of America, men and women should not be judged by the religion they practice but by the content of their character. Unfortunately, in the post 9/11 era, American Muslims have been denied access to this “promised land”-- subjected to derision in these “Glorious” United States of America. Since the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, perspectives on Islam have undergone dramatic changes, with 43% of all Americans harboring prejudiced feelings toward Islam. From this, the general perception on Islam has turned to unfounded validation of stereotyping and racial profiling (Gallup,1).…

    Explain Why Hate Groups Should Be Banned In America

    Three people died after Charlottesville. Heather Heyers, Lt. H. Jay Cullen, and Trooper Berke M. M. , died just to stop a fight between protesters. There had to be many outside forces to stop the violence happening in Charlottesville. There are many hate groups all over the U.S. that hurt other people, just because they’re different. If an incident like Charlottesville happens again, there would be even more political tension between politicians. Hate groups should banned in America because they can cause violence, political conflicts and many other conflicts between the American People.…

    African Americans In The 1920s

    Those who are afraid of ISIS, Muslims, blacks, and immigrants overall are joining in to the resurgence of prejudice groups. The 2010s have been filled with white cops murdering innocent black men, as well as a growing fear of immigrants since 9/11. Much like the fear of communists during the Red Scare of the 1920s, modern day citizens have a growing concern for Islam/Muslim people; this even prompted Donald Trump’s executive order to ban immigration just this past weekend. Immigrants, of whom founded this country and its original principal, being restricted of their rights by a new leader of the United States, of whose beliefs and proposals border on racism. So, a few bombings in America during the early 1920s from communists instilled a hatred and underlying angst toward them and their government visions that was strong enough to fight back with more than protests, but governmental and military action. Violent, unfair actions have been seen by organized groups and leaders throughout history; time may change one’s opinion, but it never changes the actions enforced on…

    9/11: Islamophobia In The United States

    victim’s race, ethnicity, national origin, religion, sexual orientation, and/or disability. Before September 11th Muslims were the least common religious group targeted for hate crimes: 28 in 2000 jumped to 481 in 2001 an increase of 1600%. Within 6 days of the 9/11 attacks the FBI already had 40 hate crime investigations going including 3 murders and 35 cases of arson. Crimes against all other races fell as hate crimes against Muslims and other Middle Eastern immigrants “skyrocketed” subsequent to September 11th. Murder, beatings, arson, attacks on mosques, shootings, and verbal threats are all included in these hate crimes (Ghazali, April 2008). Before September 11th , usually reported hate crimes typically included young male offenders and male victims. But after the events both perpetrators and victims included women, children, senior citizens, and business owners (Coryn, Chris L.S, and Catherine Borshuk, Sept. 2006). Within hours of the attacks physical assaults on American citizens of Arab, Muslim, Sikh, South Asian, even Hispanic descent were targeted for perceived physical similarity to those responsible for the attacks (Coryn, Chris L.S, and Catherine Borshuk, Sept.…

    Racial Hate Crimes Research Paper

    Religious hate groups have been increasing by quite a bit ever since the attacks of September 11, 2001. Especially anti-Muslim groups. A religious hate crime is a crime committed because of somebody’s religion. According to the Southern Poverty Law Center, ¨Anti-Muslim hate groups are a relatively new phenomenon in the United States, most of them appearing in the aftermath of the World Trade Center terrorist attacks on Sept. 11, 2001. Earlier anti-Muslim groups tended to be religious in orientation and disputed Islam’s status as a respectable…

    Eight Hate Groups

    There are eight hate groups that are active in Tennessee. These groups are: the Ku Klux Klan, White Nationalist, Black Separatist, Racist Skinheads, General Hate, Neo Confederate, Anti Muslim, and Neo Nazi. These hate groups are broken up to roughly thirty for groups across the state of Tennessee. I had to do an assignment on hate groups in Tennessee over a year ago and thought that there was a lot, but since then it has increased by around ten more hate groups locations. I am shocked that these hate groups are increasing so quickly. According to our textbook prejudice exist because of competition, ignorance, boosting self-esteem, stereotypes, and rationalizations for oppression. I think that each of these describe the existence and activity…

    Muslim Americans: Discrimination In The United States

    Muslim Americans have faced a variety of different discrimination in their history with the main form of discrimination lying within the connection between Islam and terrorism. Due to the fact that there are many different cultures who fall into the Muslim group, there are some cultures who experience more discrimination than others. For example, “Arab South Asian Muslims have experienced bigotry because they are Muslim but also because of their perceived connection with whichever country the United States has been either at war or has had less than amicable relations” (Lum, 2011, p. 371). The historical discrimination of Muslim Americans can be found in three different phases: 1) the founding of World War II; 2) post-World War II; 3) post- September 11, 2001.…

    Race In The Criminal Justice System

    “America experienced a rude awakening of its multi-religious landscape in the form of religious prejudice, stereotypical mentalities, hate crimes, and outright ignorance; all of which created an atmosphere of two extremes: those who were feared, and those who were fearful,” (Unequal Protection: The Status of Muslim Civil Rights in the United States 2005). After the attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon national security became a very large issue. Airport security was one major concern. Luggage searches were instituted at “random,” mostly targeting minorities. Minorities in the US had a very difficult time; stereotypes caused the majority of people in America to deem these minorities as a threat and often linked these people to the terrorist groups. Following the attacks the number of anti-Muslim hate crimes in the US increased exponentially from 42 cases (2002), to 93 cases in 2003, to 141 cases in 2004. Often times these hate crimes are the result of stereotyping. Minorities were often mistaken to be Muslims simply because of their…

    White Supremacy in the United States

    In the United States, there is approximately 25,000 hard-core Americans believing in the ideology behind white supremacy, which when considering this number, is a small fraction of the white population. These white supremacist activists are organized into approximately 300 different organizations to further their belief in white supremacy. In breaking these groups down, no two groups are the same, and range from religious sects, tax protesters, militant style, and the extreme violent groups such as the Neo-Nazi skinheads. Today’s society produces approximately 150,000 to 200,000 believers in white supremacy that subscribe to a variety of racist publications, attend white supremacy rallies and marches, and further donate money for their belief.…
