In the Article "Trump's Muslim Immigration Ban Should Touch off a Badly Needed Discussion," published in The National Review, Andrew McCarthy's thesis is that if the United States continues to treat Islam as just a religion, and doesn't acknowledge the difference between sharia and constitutional rule; then they will not simply coincide with each other and the immigration policy will never work. McCarthy's brings up three main points in his article that explain the problems of the immigration ban. First, McCarthy states that Islam is not just a religion. It is a system that demands its followers to live their lives under sharia rule and has no separation between church and state. Second, McCarthy says the US has no reason to not enforce a Muslim

Introduction: In the text by Eboo Patel “Acts of Faith: The Story of an American Muslim, the Struggle for the Soul of a Generation,” Patel focuses on living in a diverse faction full of religious prejudice in a world full of materialistic outlooks. At the same time he intertwines his personal experiences and provides a remarkable account in which he says that growing up in America as a Muslim led him to discover the importance of cultural pluralism, the acceptance of all religions, and his huge account that all Muslims aren’t extremists. He believes in ethnocentrism; religions should be able to coexist without feeling that one religion is superior than the other. In a world where the forces that seek to divide us are strong, Patel thinks the meaning of pluralism is that the differences

The article "Trump's Muslim Immigration Ban Should Touch Off a Badly Needed Discussion", written by Andrew McCarthy, published by The National Review focuses on the Muslim immigration topics. McCarthy's thesis is that treating Islam as "merely a religion" is unwise and the Muslim lifestyle does not match well with the United States Constitution. McCarthy has three main points. His first point is that Islam is a lifestyle, and it governs over church and state. Islam has "fundamental incompatibility" with the United States because of our separation between church and state and because of the Sharia.

He also commented on how technology has widened people’s views and Tyler Duffer 5 opinions in regarding different subjects and situations. This has resulted in a variety of beliefs throughout the whole of America and it would not be right for any one of these to be singled out by banning. I hate to say it but I would have had to agree with the decision that the Supreme Court made. It would be unjust and not fair to outlaw the burning of the American flag.

In the article “Our Fear of Immigrants” written by Jeremy Smith the article focuses on justice, education, economics, and what’s going on around us. Smith’ purpose in the article is to inform Americans about prejudice, discrimination, and the fear of immigrants that Americans have of foreigners coming to the United States. Smith used pathos, logos, and ethos by trying to get the readers to understand that “when shaping immigration policy, we should be holding in the front of our minds that we’re talking about real families, real kids, who have dreams hopes and incredible stories.” Smith wanted to the reader’s attention to show how the immigration policy can affect the people around us as well as children. I agree with immigration policy only to a certain extent however, I don’t agree with them deporting children and families away from the U.S. for no reason at all I feel like it should be only certain boundary’s that they must cross before being deported.

This ban also goes against the Declaration of Independance.   Within the first few lines, it is written that all men are created equal to one another and that these rights are given without a thought and cannot be taken away no matter what.  Donald Trump is trying to bypass the constitution, and is clumping all muslims under the umbrella of terrorist, and they are not all like that. This generalization is dehumanizing.

The recent argument about the compatibility of Sharia and the U.S constitution has sparked a debate that will not be ending any time soon. While both sources of Law are meant for maintenance of law and order in the society, they possess some inherent characteristics that make them different from each on several fronts. From a critical analysis of the two sources, one realizes there are features of the Sharia law that are essentially conflicting with aspects of the U.S constitution. Fundamentally, all the amendments that are contained in the US Constitution demonstrate the differences that exist between the two sources of law especially on the issues regarding freedom of expression, the right to dissent and the right to a fair trial among other

The beliefs about allowing immigration in the Unites States are not present. The president's beliefs about the foreign policy and allowing immigrants to have the same opportunities which include jobs, and education are not equal. Chinese immigrants were looked upon by White Americans, as American Indians separated themselves from African Americans. I think this article should explain that everyone is equal and has their own rights to individualism. I think that individualism is important to every citizen and is not shown very much in the

Over the past few years, anyone can tell you that religious importance in our country has become less, and less vital. Recent events like the terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center in New York City, New York, and the attacks on Paris, France, have made the freedom of religion harder and harder to come by. Having the free practice of religion has proved difficult. Christianity has suffered from these issues as the general acceptance of the religion has declined substantially in the few decades. A recent poll there was a sense of discrimination for the Islamic religion, as they have been responsible for the attacks, 8/10 Americans believe Christianity should be practiced freely, while only a mere 6/10 Americans think the Muslims should practice freely (Source #3).
