Islamophobia There are about 1.6 billion Muslim people living around the world as of 2004. Islam is becoming one of the largest and fastest growing religions in the world, and even though Islam is one of the most peaceful religions in the world, it faces the most hate. Islamophobia is the dislike or prejudice towards Muslims, and it's increasing every day in society. Even our own president calls it, “Common sense”. Islamophobia is real and it needs to be recognized because of the increase in hate crimes, increase in racial profiling, and an increase in bullying towards American-Muslim children. A recent study has shown that 50% of American-Muslim children have been bullied for their religion and only 53% have reported it to their parent or teacher. The children who said they did not report it to their parent or teacher said, “It will keep happening anyways”, or, “We already told the school and they did nothing.” These statistics show that Islamophobia is real and parents are not only talking about it to friends, they are talking about it to their own children. There are children now going around make comments against Islam, which is spreading Islamophobia even more. Islamophobia needs to be recognized because it is ruining the childhood of many American-Muslim children. …show more content…

Also our new president, Donald Trump, recently said during an interview with John Dickerson from CBS that profiling muslims is “common sense”. A president should be open to all ethnic groups and not discriminate one. Society is making it harder and harder for Muslim people to be happy and feel

As a result of this fear, Muslims received negative portrayals in the media and a great deal of discrimination. “While some deliberately frame Islamic coverage positively in an attempt to counter Islamophobia, many of the portrayals of Muslims contributed to the formation of harmful Islamic media stereotypes,” (Media). The most used stereotype is that Muslims are radical insurgents, but there are also many others, including that Muslim women are either victims of male power, or that they are feminists revolting from a disadvantaged position. Many Muslims also face discrimination from those directly around them. Small businesses have collaborated to create “Muslim-free zones.”

The issue of racial bias against Middle Eastern Americans in the United States has only worsened as time has gone on. Racial profiling, harassment, and unfair treatment are only a few types of abuse that Middle Easterners have had to face on a day to day basis which has stirred up anger and irritation in American society. This is a serious problem because if people are treated unequally then we are no longer the “land of the free” and society cannot move forward if we have racism holding us back. There is also a global and political aspect to this in the sense that Middle Eastern countries would choose against being allies with us due to the amount of hatred they receive in the United States. This discrimination was at first believed to stem

Muslims have been oppressed ever since the tragic incident of September 11th, 2001, all of the Islamic people were blamed for this incident even though only a small group was responsible. The social movement towards Muslim equality was only started because of the racism and discrimination Muslims were receiving from the public and the Press. Muslims face discrimination even from the U.S. Government, mainly because the current U.S. President does not support Islam or Muslims of any kind.
