Hello everyone and welcome to my blog where I will be discussing anti- Muslim feelings expressed within the past year, especially as tensions of Muslims in the United States is on the rise. Being a Muslim myself, this topic interests me because there has been an increase in discriminatory acts towards Muslims throughout the last year. The significant increase in Muslim hatred is extremely noticeable especially with movements such as the burning of the Quran, denial to build a Mosque near ground zero, vandalism of Muslim property, and much more. The increase of anti-Muslim feeling has been unjustly supported with false accusations against the teaching of Islam. As a result of September 11 the United States has been at war with Muslim extremist who are terrorists, but somehow people have been associating all Muslims with terrorism even thought this is highly inaccurate. My goals are to correct these accusations made against Islam and to justify Muslim rights as citizen in the United States. I will be discussing some of the most recent expressions of hatred towards Muslims and how these acts can be classified as religious discrimination. Personally I believe that the problem to anti-Muslim feelings originates from ignorance and a lack of knowledge about Islam and Muslims. By simply bringing awareness of basic principles and ideal behaviors taught by Islam to individuals, I hope that Islam’s inaccurate affiliation with being “evil” and the devils religion will diminish.
