Rise Of Islam In America
Islam manifested itself in the West, significantly in the case of America, due to the initial presence of twenty percent of Muslims African slaves forcibly brought over in the sixteenth to nineteenth centuries. On the other hand, it was until the late nineteenth and mid-twentieth century that a considerable quantity of Muslims immigrant labors made up of well-educated individuals that subsequently became part of the ranks of American professionals, white-collar, and blue-collar workers. Palestinian refugees and latter groups from Middle East to South Asia even escaped or departed from their households after the creation of Israel in 1948 or for economic or political reasons to America. This also includes two—thirds Americans that are immigrants

    The British extremely put pressure on the Jewish to settle in Palestine under the British Mandate. Bunton stated “At the beginning of the mandate there were approximately 70,000 Jews out of a total settled population over 700,000 inhabitants” (26). This shows that there was a lot of reasons why Jews were not moving to Palestine very quick such as; the Jews were hesitant at first because the British really wanted them to move there. The “western wall” is where the Jews and Arabs worship and it is still a major piece in history. Bunton noted, “By the end of the mandate in 1947 another 175,000 acres were purchases, resulting in approximately 7 percent of Palestine being acquired by Jewish land purchasing agencies” (26). This shows that since more Jews were moving to Palestine under the British mandate then it became a pattern of Jews moving with there families and friends to stay together. The patterns informed the UN resolution to partition Palestine into two separate states. This resolution was created in a sequence to promise contentment between the Jewish and the Arabs because, both wanted to own land and have positions in the…

    Military conquest was one of the primary reasons why Islam spread so quickly. The Document C “Spread of Islam” map shows that between 622 and 750, the Islamic world expanded to Saragossa in the north and as far as Kabul to the east. On the map, there are arrows traveling in many directions. These arrows represent military campaigns. It seems that wherever these arrows go, the land is almost always converted into Islamic territory, therefore, the army’s operations prove to be successful. The significant amount of land claimed shows that the Islamic troops are a force to be reckoned with. According to the Document F al-Baladhuri excerpt, “Hereclius gathered [a] large Byzantine army … numbering about 200,000...By Allah’s help, some 70,000 of them…

    In the video”What’s it like to be Muslim in America” by Dalia Mogahed “Muslims are inventors, teachers, first responders and olympic athletes, but some make the muslims look bad on the negative things they do” (Mogahed) what I mean is that no matter how much nice successful Muslims there are, there is always Muslims that make themselves look bad. For example, on the 9/11 attack, some muslims were disappointed because it’s just making the rest of the muslim people look bad. Also, some muslims were afraid to go outside because of how other people will think of them. I personally think bad about the Muslim people because of what occurred and I know I’m no one to judge others by their appearances or looks. It just scares me on what they did…

    The population of the country increased by about 27 million people, from about 49 million in 1880 to 76 million in 1900 (White). Immigrants migrated to America from different parts of Europe: Italy, Greece, Poland, Hungary, Russia, Turkey, Lithuania, Romania and Asia: China and Japan. They believed in many various religions, such as Catholicism and Judaism, and introduced several unique, cultural ideas to other immigrants and American inhabitants. The United States welcomed immigrants because they were essential to its growing economy, but nativists opposed immigrants as antithetical to American culture and society (White). They felt threatened that the immigrants would compete with them for jobs and housing. Some of these immigrants faced discrimination and unjust acts and laws. Even though there was rising rates of political tension, overcrowding, high unemployment rates, and unsanitary living conditions, new opportunities, jobs, housing, and transportation systems, benefited the immigrants. The growing number of immigrants had a significant impact on American society. The immigrants helped to transform America into a multicultural, diverse society, one full of various religions, languages, practices, ideas, and beliefs. Would America still be known as a melting pot without the immigration and urbanization effects of…

    From the 5th C.E. century to the year 1325, the spread of Islam occurred in the trans- Saharan area in Africa.

    Recently, it has been approved by a community board that a mosque will be constructed by the American Society for Muslim Advancement two blocks from the site of the once prominent World Trade Towers in New York. All over the country, there has been exceptional protest against the building of the mosque. Andrea Peyser writes, “There are many questions about the mosque. But just one answer: move it away,” (Peyser). Ever since the tragedy of 9/11, nearly all Americans have gained the understanding that Muslims are harmful to the United States; however, Americans have failed to draw the distinction between Islamic extremists that caused this terrorist attack and simple followers of Islam.…
