“...earlier this year the Irving city council voted to support an anti-Islamic bill that would forbid Texas judges from applying Shariah Law in their decision.” With this being said, Burke seems to have applied some research to support her argument. These logical examples are well combined for the reader to see the reason why Ahmed received the kind of treatment that he
The United States of America was founded by people who were mainly trying to escape from some religious laws, to gain religious freedom or religion equality. Most of America 's first immigrants were Christians, therefore is no surprise the country is built on and with Christian morals. During 1980 a large population of immigrants came into U.S, this group of immigrants came from 5 different continents, with different religious backgrounds. However, the largest religious group among this large population of immigrants were Christians. About one-third of this immigrant who are not Christians find it difficult and unsafe to stay in a country where Christians seem to have an upper hand, very few of this people have stepped out from their comfort
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.
In addition, Brigitte claims that Islam incarnates violence and accuses it to “supersede” any man-made law via the Sharia law. To respond to her claims, the author
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.
My argumentative essay is on why trumps immigration rules are unconstitutional. The author's name is Corey Brettschneider, this article called Politico was published on February 1, 2017. “Total and complete shutdown”. Words from president Donald trump. President trump wants a complete shutdown on Muslims entering the United States.
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.
Kyrstin LaRue Ms. Huttinger ELA 3/1/23 Stopping the Book Bans “Banning books give us silence when we need speech. It closes our ears when we need to listen. It makes us blind when we need sight.” In the words of Stephen Chbosky, author of Perks of Being A Wallflower.
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.
America says that everyone is welcomed and that no matter the race, color, or ethnicity they will not be “judged” or “persecuted”. America has welcomed mostly every race but Islam's because
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).
Why is it a Sin to Kill a Mockingbird The mockingbird sings to entertain the listener, it is also a symbol of peace. It is a sin to kill a mockingbird because it doesn't hurt anyone and is innocent. In the novel To Kill a Mockingbird, Miss Maudie said, “Mockingbirds don’t do one thing but make music for us to enjoy. They don’t eat up people’s gardens, don’t nest in corncribs, they don’t do one thing but sing their hearts out for us.
