In one of the most shocking U.S. elections in modern political history, Donald Trump has defeated Hillary Clinton."I pledge to every citizen of our land that I will be president for all Americans," Trump said in his victory speech after the Associated Press called the race for him at 2:30 am Wednesday morning. Striking a conciliatory tone, Trump continued, "For those who have chosen not to support me in the past, of which there were a few people, I’m reaching out to you for your guidance and your help so we can work together and unify our great country."
He also said Hillary Clinton had called him to concede the race. "Hillary has worked very long and very hard over a long period of time, and we owe her a major debt of gratitude for her service to our country," he said. "I mean that very sincerely." Trump’s upset was one he had been predicting for months, gleefully comparing himself to the Brexit vote in England. Yet it was one that almost no other major predictors foresaw, all giving Clinton various degrees of comfortable leads in their election day predictions. My reaction To the presidential Election Honestly, I was confused, shocked, and afraid to trump winning the election. After all the hateful words, he has said to people. Personal I hate trump because of the way he bashes Muslims and he also try to deport innocent people. Now I really do not know what to feel because he is a useless president that goes around to look for trouble. All trump do is go to other countries for example like Syria he sent American troops to go bomb there. I think over the next four year with trump as our president, we will go to war because of the way how trump acts. Also, I believe we might get bomb which is very scary to think about.

ENG 100 Assignment #3: Film-Based Argument Due: draft #2 posted to blog by 11:59 on 3/32 Hate towards Muslims after 9/11 attack In the film, Survivor, screenwriter Philip Shelby writes about Kate Abbott’s struggles with saving America from a terrorist attack. Abbott is a security service agent who learns of a plot to where a sniper will shoot a gas bomb in time square to kill innocent civilians. Also, Abbott’s was forced to go on the run when she was framed for crimes she did not commit. The reason Talbot was being blackmail, because his son an Army soldier was taken over by terrorist and terrorist were blackmailing Talbot to let terrorist into United States for his sons live. Thesis statement: The attack on 9/11 should not justify American citizens being more suspicious towards all Muslims because not all Muslims are bad or a terrorist. First America believes in freedom of religion Support I feel like it is very hypocritical that Americans have the law freedom of religion but they do not follow it because they continue to bring Muslim people down. American should not not persecute the Islamic people for their religion instead we should uphold our notions of a melting – pot culture. Also in the first amendment, it says we are allow to think, express and act upon what we deeply believe. So why judge an entire nation for one person acts, I thought America is a land of peace but I thought wrong. Also, not all Muslim are bad people because they prefer peace over terrorism. Second reason Americans need to have equal treatment and fairness towards Muslims. Because the Muslim people are human too and there is a lot of white’s people that commit crimes worse than the Muslims people but they will never be categorizing has terrorist because they are not Muslims. Third reason the Islamic religion is a peaceful religion because they do not believe in nonviolence. Also, Muslims should not have to be judge of their religion, they should be judge of their personal action. For example, a white boy went to sandy hook elementary school and shoot all dose innocent children & teachers but his actions were not characterized as a terrorist act. Fourth reason the Islamic religion is a respectful religion that expected whoever want to know more about their religion. Also, Muslims are scared to because when they are traveling they must be search by a lot of securities. For example, the Muslim females wearing a hijab they would stop her for special searches at the security gate. Therefore, Americans only believes the negative stereotypes about Muslims instead of getting to know about their religion. Also, being a Muslim in America is like a heavy burden because you never know who is watching you. According to Pew research center the article Muslim Americans: No Signs of Growth in alienation or Support for Extremism says that 28% of Muslims being looked at with suspicion and 22% being called with offensive names. Overall 52% says that the government should increase surveillance and monitoring Muslims. Also, according to Pew Research Center estimate there were about 1.6 billion Muslims in the world at the year of 2010. In fact, the media make the Islamic religion look horrible due to the type of things they show. For example, when I was in New York l I was criticizing for being a Muslim and I remember I got jumped by six girls just because they find out I was Muslim. It was hard because my family was the only Muslim family in our block and people would look at us dirty or called us nasty names. We cannot blame all Muslims or the religion for the 9/11 attack because some of have no idea about it. There is a lot of Christians that had commit terrorists acts like the Ku Klux Klan but they are not considering as a terrorist when they attack abortion clinics and other innocent people. According to FBI Database Jewish acts of terrorism within the united states are more than the Islamic religion. A lot of terrorist claim to be Muslims which is unfair because it gives the innocent Muslims bad names. The Muslims people are loving and respecting people and they do not judge a person based on their actions. For example, when president trump says he was going to banned all Muslims to come to America, I thought it was very rude and un-American to want to a group of Muslims just because of their religion. In addition to the freedom of religion, America is a culture that flourishes with the infusion of multicultural citizenry so why they start judging about the Muslim people. The thing I would never understand is, they have some Christian that do a lot of terrorist acts. For example, 27 year- old Alexandre Bissonnette who went to Laval University attack a mosque in Quebec City but they did not consider him as a terrorist just because he is not Muslim. Support According to everytownresearch.org 160 school shooting across 38 states from k-12 but it sad because Americans people did not see it has a terrorist attack. For example, my family is the only Muslims in our area and a lot of people are scared to be around us especially when trump came it to president. In addition the first attempt to kill abbott, watchmaker ended up killing Abbotts’s colleagues who were in the restaurant to celebrate bill talbot’s birthday. In conclusion, in the movie survivor the sniper that was going to shoot the gas bomb at time square was not Muslim but the reason why I chose this topic majority of Americans fear Muslim ever since the 9/11 attack.
