    In 2004, 18 year old Jason Salah Arabo from Michigan was arrested and pleaded guilty with conspiracy to order destructive computer attacks on business competitor’s websites from his home by remotely controlling them with a computer program called, “Bot”. Bots can be easily disguised as MP3 music files or pictures that unaware users download from public websites. Once they are downloaded, Bots will cause the virus to overload the website’s hosting computer server that result in crashing the entire system. Arabo wasn’t alone in this process. He and former 16 year old “Jasmine” Signh from New Jersey, creator of the Bot, had met Arabo on an instant messenger chat, and had agreed to help takedown Arabo’s competitor websites in exchange for Arabo’s merchandise, including designer sneakers. Arabo was running two business companies that sold throwback sports apparel such as team jerseys over the internet. Together, Arabo and Signh had designed the program in what they thought would help Arabo’s business by stopping customers from visiting and using other services.…

    The United States has been called many things, such as the "Melting Pot", the "Land of Opportunity", and the "Golden Mountain". The United States could also be called by some rather "choice" names of a negative nature. Nevertheless, not all Muslims have had angry words or even angry hearts against the United States or against the West in general. Many Muslims living in the United States and other western countries endured personal insults and taunts during the many years since those 9/11 attacks. Many Muslims have had their personal freedoms compromised, have been…

    Arabs are usually warm people with a lot of emotions and they can quickly explode over things they feel strongly about. Their language of communication allows for exaggerations and loaded words to emphasize meanings. It is more important how something it is expressed than what is actually being said.…

    The common stereotype of Muslims and people with a Middle Eastern background in America is that of oil exporters and/or potential terrorists. Muslim men are usually viewed as violent and their women as submissive. The media which is at the forefront of creating such negative stereotypes often uses the word Arab (an individual from the Middle East) interchangeably with the word Muslim so much so that Arabs and Muslim Americans are both victims of prejudice and racial profiling in America. An internet source (http://www.calstatela.edu/faculty/sfischo/Arabs.html) describes how such…

    Between 1450 and 1750, three great Muslim empires arose—the Ottomans, the Safavids, and the Mughals. The Ottomans arose after the Seljuk Turkic kingdom of Rum in Eastern Anatolia collapsed, which occurred because of a Mongol invasion in 1243. The area fell into a chaotic period after that because the Mongols did not directly rule it. In search of riches, Turkic peoples, including the Ottomans who dominated the rest, flooded into the area. By the 1350s, the Ottomans were advancing from their Asia Minor strongholds. Under Mehmed I, they conquered a large part of the Balkans, and, in 1453, they captured Constantinople of the Byzantine Empire under Mehmed II, “The Conqueror,” thus establishing an empire from the Balkans that included most of the Arab world. Like the Ottomans, the Safavids arose from struggles of rival Turkish tribes. In the fourteenth century, there were decades of fierce struggles, until, finally, after three successive Safavid leaders died, a Sufi commander named Ismâ’il survived. He and his followers conquered the city of Tabriz in 1501, as well as most of Persia in the next decade. They then drove the Ozbegs, neighboring nomadic Turks, back to Central Asia and advanced to Iraq. Lastly, the Mughal Dynasty was founded by Babur, who descended from Turkic warriors. He first led an invasion of India in 1526 and conquered the Indus and Ganges plains. After Babur died of an illness, his son, Humayan, succeeded him and was attacked from enemies of all sides because of Babur’s death. He was expelled from India in 1540, but eventually restored Mughal rule by 1556. Humayan’s son, Akbar, would later succeed him and become the greatest ruler in Mughal history. The Ottomans, Safavids and Mughals constructed significant empires, but each adopted different ways of treating their conquered people and developed diverse methods for managing social, political, and economic systems.…

    While that may not be true, situation has become much more complex in post-9/11 United States. “For a long time, media scholars and researchers across the world have been talking about "The three B syndrome" in which Muslims and/or Arabs are always being portrayed as one of the three B's: billionaire, bomber, and belly dancer.” (Nawar) Arabs not only deviate in their religious orientation, but also in their views on culture and their ethnicity. Most of Arabs came for education not offered in their homeland and refuge from warring countries. Many are given the line, all too familiar to Arab Americans, "Why don't you go back where you came from?" If one looked Arab or had a foreign name that sounded Arab, he or she was targeted. The terrorist attacks of September 11th not only brought Arabs to public attention, but also put them in the spotlight discrimination and…

    Although Christianity and Islam have been and are dominating the scene it is necessary to place both in their proper perspective taking into account human history of faith in the supernatural or something beyond our five senses. Side by side with this awe mixed fear of the unknown is the feeling of being cocksure and confident of one’ own power. It is the same of the caveman as of the politicians and financiers strutting around Wall Street and Washington. When this feeling of being sure is coupled with a belief, then ‘ism’ is born. This ism can be anything from belief in money-power to mass-power or god-power. Then is another side to our psychology. We try to foist our beliefs on others. It is in our very psyche. For the purpose of understanding two interviews were carried out. The first person interviewed is Albert Lamb and the second person is Azad Rauf.…

    Muslim Americans have faced a variety of different discrimination in their history with the main form of discrimination lying within the connection between Islam and terrorism. Due to the fact that there are many different cultures who fall into the Muslim group, there are some cultures who experience more discrimination than others. For example, “Arab South Asian Muslims have experienced bigotry because they are Muslim but also because of their perceived connection with whichever country the United States has been either at war or has had less than amicable relations” (Lum, 2011, p. 371). The historical discrimination of Muslim Americans can be found in three different phases: 1) the founding of World War II; 2) post-World War II; 3) post- September 11, 2001.…
