Islam In America
Living in America, I came to understand the difficulties of practicing Islam in urban life. There is not enough time to pray five times a day because most of the time I spend is in school. For example, waking up at 7 a.m. to get ready and go to school until 3 pm. Also, there are no facilities in high school where you can pray during lunch time or breaks to pray unlike in rural areas of Bangladesh. There are other challenges such as types of food that are served in the school cafeteria. I remember in my high school I could not eat lunch because I was not aware of the different types of food and I had to be careful to stick to my Islamic custom when consuming food. As a muslim there are many laws and regulations that I have to follow when consuming

    Islam Post 9/11 Research Paper

    When dealing with racial tensions between Americans and Muslims after such a catastrophic event such as September 11th, the outlook on Muslims from an American’s standpoint may forever be tarnished. Much like the way Americans viewed Japanese following the attack on Pearl Harbor, although the Japanese people who we may come in contact with in the U.S. had nothing to do with the attack because they are Japanese, after the attack was not the best of times for them. All over the world following September 11th you would hear reports of violence towards Muslims by American citizens who in their own mind thought they were standing up for their country and in a way “getting back” at the Muslim…

    The Presence And Contributions Of Muslims In America By Edward Curtis

    Historically, the presence and contributions of Muslims in the United States have been unrecognized. In his book, Muslims in America: A Short History, Edward Curtis provides countless examples that prove that Muslims are neither new nor foreign to the United States. Essentially, the book depicts how the lives of Muslim Americans have been negatively impacted by significant historical events in the United States. As noted by Curtis (2009), the transatlantic slave trade in eighteenth century marked the beginning of Muslims in America. The transatlantic slave produced the first largest migration wave of African Muslims into the United States. Job Ben Salomon’s story, the first slave to be traded to North America, perfectly illustrates the past…

    30 Days Muslim in America

    First off, I want to say that this was a very interesting video. For people who think of Muslims as bad, hate filled people this would be an extremely good video to have them watch. I have friends who are Muslims so I have never seen them the way that Dave did or the way that some of the random people who were interviewed do. I had my mother watch it and she seemed to think afterwards that maybe they were ok people, whereas before, she used to complain about the Mosques in Iowa City and she blamed all Muslims for 9/11.…

    Religous Views In America

    Religion played a huge role in the American colonies. The religious rulers in Europe wanted to create an empire in North America, but the settlers sought religious freedom. The pilgrims started by being the first people to stand up for what they believed in. After years of struggle, the colonists finally achieved religious freedom. That freedom continued to be important to the Americans through the Old Light Clergy era, the New Light Clergy era, the half-way covenant era, the witch era, the Great Awakening era.…

    Shifting Schools In The United States

    Imagine relocating to a neighborhood in order to live in an area next to a good school, only to have that school moved to a location that is forty or more minutes away; this also means waking up way earlier to make it to school on time. Almost all schools in the UAE are moving out of the city, and sooner or later, all schools will be released to rural areas. Shifting schools from the heart of the city to rural areas has negative impacts.…

    Freedom Of Religion In America

    The most important amendment is the freedom of religion. The freedom of religion lets you be who you are. The government can’t punish Americans for any religion you practice. There are not really any limits to this freedom. The first reason the freedom of religion is the most important amendment is because it lets Americans be their true self. You are being your true self if you are practicing a religion that you truly believe in. Nobody should take advantage for who you are or what you practice. Take World War II for an example, innocent jews had horrible stuff done to them for just practicing a religion. Nobody should ever have to go through something like that for just being who they are. Without the freedom of religion in America, innocent…

    Freedom Of Religion In America

    Religion in the USA is very diverse because of the country is multicultural. A number of early immigrants to the American colonies were missionaries and they had desire to worship their own religions freely. Besides of those missionaries, many religious refugees came from Europe including Jews. In my point of view, those large number of immigrants influenced Americans to be a very religious nation. According to a 2002 study, majority of American people said religion is very important in their lives. It shows that the US is one of the most religious nations in the world. Many people believe that the USA is not that religious country (I used to think the same before), here is one example of justification: The phrase “In God We Trust” which is…
