Question

Discuss stereotypes about and ethnocentrism towards Islam and Muslims that exist in the U.S.. Then discuss how these perceptions about Muslims contribute to prejudice.

Answer 1

Answer:

In the United States of America before 9/11 attacks, Muslims were considered as immigrant minority community in united States and it has very old conflict with Jews over land of palastine.

Due to the involvement of so-called Islamic fundamentalist group Taliban and it’s mastermind evil terrorist Osma binLaden. After 9/11 Muslims are under suspicion without any cause or their involvement in terrorism and antisocial activities but is a utter nonsense and not right.

Now, if we think logically that all Muslims are terrorists but there are 1.8 billion and overall 24.1% Muslims of all population. Therefore,1/4 population of the world is terrorist but it cannot be true.

Yes, Muslims are facing severe discrimination in united states. In American media and cinema Muslims are portrayed as terrorist and fundamentalist but it is not true and misleading fact. Recent, presidents Trump’s policy over Muslim immigrants is only one example of this discrimination.
