Shouting Across The Divide The article Shouting Across The Divide contains verity of meanings toward discriminations especially for Muslim religion. After listening and reading the radio conversation, it was clear to understand how discriminations has impacted critically to Muslims after 9.11 terror. The interview tells us the story about the Muslim family Serry and Chloe. Serry and her daughter Chloe were born, and have been grown up in the United States of America. Serry was married with a man from West Bank where has been suffering many conflicts of religions among near countries; Israel and Palestinian, and is territory of Palestinian now. Serry and her husband spent precious years together, and foamed a family with four daughters in a small town. There local business was successful as well. The family had pretty good relationships with neighbors and school friends. However, everything changed after 9.11 tragedy. Because of ethnicity, the all member of the whole family had to endure very hard time. Someone broke Serry’s car window, and left terrible memo: “leave the U.S.A.”. On the other hands, Chloe who used to be very popular in her class lost all of her friends because of the terror. Even a textbook in her class contained the crucial phrase that all of Muslims hate Christians and Americans who are considered as an evil by Muslims so all Muslims kill them. Serry’s husband who watched all the pains to his family, began to show deep depression, and wanted to go back to his country. However, Serry refused his offer, and he left alone one day. Eventually, the 9.11 terror, and vandalism has destroyed all the happiness of the family. Shalom Auslander who worked for an advertising company in New York also confessed that there were a lot of discriminative advertisements, and that made him to hate his job. As we see the experiences above, there has been lots of discriminations about religions and ethnicities in the United States of America. People just do not

    After 9/11 the perceptions of Muslims in America were forever changed. Seeing the violent images of the Twin Towers on the news deeply frightened people in Western society. As result, fear and anger were directed towards innocent Muslims. In a growing society where many are no longer afraid to speak their beliefs, prejudice occurs in almost every aspect of life. Prejudice is defined as “an unjustified or incorrect attitude towards an individual based solely on the individual’s membership of a social group” (McLeod). In the United States, people of the Muslim faith frequently experience prejudice and racial inequality. Vincent Parrillo outlines negative sociological understanding and how the effects of our culture influence the way we perceive…

    Scenario 1: America is a country where people of different nationalities stand together and proudly announce themselves by the title of “ I am an American.” There in America is not one person who can be found with the same blood origin running through the veins. My neighbor across from me is Chinese and my next door neighbors are Russian with a tint of Japanese dating back from the beginning of the 20th century when Russia was found to be at war with Japan. They are Americans who came to America in hopes of living a better and more peaceful life. The same can be found with others who came to America. Many came to America in hopes of escaping the religious revivals happening at home in order to escape persecution. These immigrants were aware that America wasn’t a judge for the many different religions that existed and the many different groups of people who exist. So when Europeans were being persecuted because of the way they practiced their religion in the 1800s many of these “New Immigrants” came to America hoping to practice religion the ways they wanted to. America held nothing against those who had differing outlooks on life and held nothing against those who were of different ethnicities because unlike many European countries, America has had its civil war which led to an outright acceptance of people who looked different and were oftentimes considered inferior. Scenario 2 : There were a few cases of people who had difficulty adapting to America because America had different traditions along with customs that were celebrated back at home. America, for one, had a…

    Christians, Catholics, and Lutherans generally get treated the same way and receive the same wages in the United States. But as for Muslims and people of the Jewish faith, they often times will receive lower pay based on previous events in history that their religions are linked to. For example, Somalis struggle to get a job in central Minnesota because they are frowned upon big time. Without even seeing each person, and manager is most likely to choose a white person over a Somali anyday.…

    Nowadays the hate is no longer on Jews but instead attention is now on Muslims. The anger is not just in the Middle East but it is in front of society’s own eyes. Since the terrorist attacks that occurred September 11th, more Americans have become associated with Islamophobia and racism towards those who are apart of the culture. In a “Huffington Post Blog” eighteen year-old, Ayesha Durrani, spoke about her first time she was verbally abused simply because of what she looked like. As Durrani recalled in her text, the group of men behind her shouted the words “Isis!” repeatedly. It is much more than verbal attacks; some have even gone as far as to personally targeting innocent Muslims. In February of 2015, the “Quba Islamic Institute” was set into flames by a 56 year old man. According to the Council on American-Islamic Relations, the man stated that he “hated Muslims, they got what they deserved, and things happen for a reason.” How will society learn from its past if people are still living in fear of things they don’t…

    In this day and age, racism and hate crimes are still huge throughout the world, especially in America. One of the groups discriminated against in America and Europe are Muslims and other Arab groups. Many Muslims were targeted, murdered, discriminated against, and have been considered “terrorists” since the 9/11 attack in 2001; many of these people were thought to be linked with Arab extremist groups and have lost their lives because of this. An example of discrimination closer to 2016 is the refusal of many people to help Syrian refugees hide and have protection from their own government. In World History, these people refusing to help would’ve learned that there are few countries in the Middle East and Asia that have been linked to any extreme groups in this area. There is a multitude of Arabs who do not agree with their governments and wish to escape in all of their willpower. People need to realize that not everyone…

    There are many examples of this they have occurred in the United States over the past 150 years. There have been many groups of people they have been discriminated against because at the time people either feared them perhaps thinking that their ways or tendencies were toxic to our culture. Other specific groups were used as scapegoats and blamed for attacks on the US or cultural changes that everyone may have not agreed with. And others were simply discriminated against simply because they were thought to be inferior because of the way they looked. All of these acts of discrimination were a result of social construction and the way people began to look at these groups. Some groups that come to mind are Irish immigrants in the late 1800s. They were discriminated because it was thought…

    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.…
