ENG 100 Assignment #3: Film-Based Argument Due: draft #1 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 in an attempts to kill innocent civilians. Also, Abbott’s was forced to go on the run when she was framed for crimes she did not commit. 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 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. 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 worst 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 increased 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 state 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. In conclusion, the 9/11 attack should not make American citizens to be suspicious towards Muslims because in the movie survivor the sniper that was going to shoot the gas bomb in time square was not Muslim. Support Support In addition to freedom of religion, America is a culture that flourishes with the infusion of multicultural citizenry. 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.
