HUMA 1745 J- Final PowerPoint presentation by Sunia Khansuniakhan
Write a statement on whom your intended audience is and why you think your presentation would be impactful and meaningful to them.
My PowerPoint presentation is on “Discrimination Against Muslim Minorities in North America and Europe” and the intended audiences are people who are either oblivion to the fact that this topic is a grave setback of our society and those who engage in discrimination.
I have come across many news channels that have something negative to portray about Islam at least in my perspective. I see and come across people who deeply hate the religion Islam and anyone who tries to help create a positive image about Islam in our society.
I have connected my topic, discrimination of Muslims in our society towards Contemporary Canada by highlighting the fact that Aboriginal community in Canada was and still is being discriminated, which is quite similar to Muslims. During the fall semester Professor Mansour gave us an assignment on “Burqas and Bans: Freedom or Oppression?” I have therefore connected the Response Paper assignment that was given by Professor Mansour to this current presentation topic. I focused my presentation not only on Canada but also on discriminatory issues taking place on Muslims in North America and Europe only to really show this issue is not just in Canada but taking place almost all over the globe.
I believe my presentation would be impactful and meaningful towards my intended audience because people who care about justice and who seek an open and welcoming society must defend the right of Muslims who want to live free of discrimination in Canada. The biggest reason for all this confusion and lack or real knowledge on Islam, which truly means ‘Peace’, is because some Canadian media contribute to dangerous stereotyping towards this religion. They serve a diet of distorted images, which promote the false notion that Islam as a religion condones violence, and associate Muslims with terrorism. When the media prominently identify individuals who are suspected of wrong- doing as being Muslim, they unfairly imply that all Muslims are collectively responsible for the actions of certain individuals.
This presentation was also created to increase awareness on this issue; if you are a Muslim stand up for your rights and partner up with other Canadians who are committed in changing this negative image of Islam in our society. Or if you are not a Muslim, inform yourself about Islamic history and culture, and about the experiences of your Muslim neighbors and colleagues. Speak out when you come across stereotypical information of Islam in our media, at school, in the workplace or anywhere else. And last but definitely not the least; intervene when you suspect a Muslim is being unfairly treated.
How the Islamization has changed the globe by its rapid impact and what are it's impacts on global village. It's development and concerns from West is rising in its nature and elements. Iranian revolution under Khomaini and spread of Islam in modern contemporary world.
This ppt tends to describe what happened in Paris, and what can be its outcomes. it further goes on to discuss a topic that people shy out while in public, though it is a heated topic with varied opinions in private- the connection of terrorism with muslim youth.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.
The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

Islamism On the Rise
Review: Islamic State – Unspeakable Evil
• Fundamentalist Islamists
– Dedicated to the most severe and “perfect” interpretation of
Islam, grounded entirely in the Qur’an and Islamic jurisprudence
• Apocalyptic-focused fighting force
– No fear of death, waging war for the specific purpose of bringing
about the end of the world and the global expansion of a formal
Islamic State
• Well-funded, technologically-savvy fighting force
– Drawing fighters from all over the world, with untapped reserves
of funding from inside and outside the Islamic State
• Satanically-inspired fighting force
– Pushing into every continent on the globe. A force that we will
fight for decades to come

The Three Forces of Islamism
• Military forces
– Jihadists fighting in the Middle East, and expanding their battle
grounds to Europe, Asia, and the Americas
– Formal fighting forces and ad hoc terrorist forces
• Demographic forces
– The powerful and dangerous combination of the declining
birthrate of western nations, extraordinary Islamic migration
through refugee resettlement, and high Islamic birthrates due to
cultural norms and polygamy
• Political forces
– The Muslim Brotherhood’s focus on “ballots,” combined with
pressures to be “politically-correct,” to treat Islam as a peaceful
religion, and to pretend that Islamism does not pose a danger

Eurabia?
• The Economist
– Described the concept of Eurabia as scaremongering.
– Matt Carr wrote that "What began as an outlandish conspiracy theory
has become a dangerous Islamophobic fantasy"
• The Muslim population is not growing as fast as some scenarios claim, since
the fertility rate of immigrants declines. This ignores recent refugee influx
• Muslims are not a monolithic or cohesive group. Muslims do seek to integrate
politically and socially. Muslims have little influence on policy (Israeli policy).
• Eurabia, a portmanteau of "Europe" and "Arabia”
– Political neologism referring to Europe becoming subsumed by the Arab
World, because of European leaders betrayal or
continued immigration and high birth rates of Muslims in Europe
– Not all supporters of the theory see 'Eurabia' as inevitable.
