The document discusses stereotypes of Arab and Arab-Americans in media and the negative impacts those stereotypes have. It provides examples from shows like "24" and "Aladdin" that portray Arabs negatively and could influence young viewers to form unfavorable opinions. These stereotypes in media have real world consequences, as the document describes an 18-year-old Arab American being beaten by a mob and a man being murdered four days after 9/11, with over 200 incidents targeting Arab-Americans post-9/11.

After the September 11th terrorist attacks, there were reports of hate crimes targeting Muslims, Arabs, and South Asians in the United States. These included death threats to a Palestinian American student, rocks and eggs being thrown at an Islamic center, and bottles being thrown at a Sikh taxi driver. In response, President Bush visited an Islamic center to condemn the acts of violence and reaffirm that Islam teaches peace. However, some Americans still supported increased surveillance of Arab and Muslim Americans in the period after 9/11.
Black history
The document summarizes the history and practice of lynching in the United States from the post-Civil War era through the mid-20th century. It describes lynching as the illegal killing of a person by a mob or group outside of legal authority, often involving hanging, burning, or shooting. Lynching targeted African Americans and was most common in the Southern states during times of social and economic tension. Nearly 3,500 black Americans were lynched between 1882 and 1920, though lynching was declared illegal in the US in the 1960s. A key example discussed is the 1955 lynching of 14-year old Emmett Till in Mississippi, which helped spark the Civil Rights Movement.

There is no definitive evidence that Bill Clinton was directly responsible for any of these deaths. However, the circumstances around several of the deaths are suspicious and warrant further investigation. Ultimately, without clear evidence, we cannot make a conclusive statement either way about Clinton's involvement. This is a complex situation with reasonable arguments on both sides.
Barack obama
Barack Obama was elected President in 2008, becoming the first African American to hold the office. The election took place on November 4th, 2008, with Obama winning 365 electoral votes to John McCain's 173. This event marked a major change in American history, as the country moved from segregating blacks to having a black President elected, signifying a new beginning for all Americans.
The Movement Takes a New Turn
The civil rights movement split in the mid-1960s due to the rise of black nationalism and calls for black power led by Malcolm X and Stokely Carmichael which advocated for racial separation and black self-sufficiency rather than integration. This split the movement from groups like the NAACP and SCLC that pursued non-violent protest and integration. The tragic assassinations of MLK Jr. and RFK in 1968 further eroded hope in non-violent change and sparked riots across the country. However, the civil rights movement achieved its goal of ending legal segregation and saw more African Americans able to vote and get elected to political office, demonstrating its lasting legacy of progress toward racial equality.

Muslim stereotypes portfolio 3
This document seeks to counter stereotypes about Muslims and Islam by providing facts and statistics. It notes that there are approximately 3.3 million Muslims in the US, accounting for 1% of the population. However, anti-Muslim attitudes and prejudices have intensified in recent years. The Quran preaches diversity, equality, and condemns terrorism and persecution. However, media portrayals of Muslims often promote stereotypes. Common myths include that all Muslims are Arab, that Islam is a violent religion, and that the religion oppresses women. Educators can help by incorporating Muslim voices and perspectives into curriculum and teaching about religious discrimination.
Confronting bigotry
This slide program explains meaning of bigotry, prejudice and extremism. It explains the history of bigotry, reasons for bigotry. It also tells the Islamic teachings about it. Finally, it guides us how to confront bigotry in the light of Quran and Sunnah of our beloved Prophet Mohammad (SAW). We hope this program will provide beneficial guidelines to face the bigotry.

Ronald S Lauder
Ronald Lauder, a former Republican, expresses deep concern with President Obama's performance over the past four years. He argues that Obama has failed on the economy by adding greatly to the national debt. On national security, Lauder claims the U.S. is less secure under Obama and cites anti-American riots on the 9/11 anniversary and the killing of the U.S. ambassador in Libya. Lauder also criticizes Obama's treatment of Israel and asserts that Obama does not understand that a strong America benefits the entire world.
Civil rights powerpoint
The Civil Rights Movement in the United States saw the use of various non-violent and activist methods to fight racial segregation and discrimination over the course of several decades in the 20th century. Key events and figures included Jackie Robinson breaking the color barrier in baseball in the 1940s, the Montgomery Bus Boycott sparked by Rosa Parks' arrest in 1955, and Martin Luther King Jr.'s iconic "I Have a Dream" speech at the 1963 March on Washington. Major pieces of civil rights legislation like the 1964 Civil Rights Act and 1965 Voting Rights Act were passed amid ongoing protests and demonstrations across the South.
Ronald Reagan
Ronald Reagan utilized both his formal presidential powers as Commander-in-Chief by ordering troops to invade Grenada and appointing the first female Supreme Court Justice, as well as his informal power as an actor and communicator to promote his ideas directly to the American public through televised speeches and interviews. He also fulfilled ceremonial duties as Head of State such as throwing out the first pitch at a Cubs game while working with Congress in his role as Chief Executive to pass major tax reform legislation.
Civil rights movement
The Civil Rights Movement in the United States from 1955-1968 aimed to outlaw racial discrimination against African Americans and restore voting rights in Southern states. Led by figures like Martin Luther King Jr., the movement used nonviolent protests like bus boycotts, sit-ins, and marches to advocate for civil rights and racial equality. King's iconic "I Have a Dream" speech at the 1963 March on Washington helped raise awareness of ongoing issues of racism and injustice. The movement achieved several important victories, including the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and Voting Rights Act of 1965, but also continued to face resistance from segregationists.
Dr. King
Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. delivered a speech about the existence of "two Americas" - a white America portrayed as a paradise of equal opportunity, and a black America described as a dystopia of horror and racism. King pointed out the persistence of racism in both the North and South, giving the example of segregation laws that denied black Americans their basic rights. He asserted that racism is evil because it ultimately leads to genocide, as demonstrated by Hitler's actions against Jews. King's goal was to advance the united vision of one America with equality and justice for all.
21.5--The Movement Takes a New Turn
Malcolm X rose to prominence in the Nation of Islam by preaching black separatism and self-reliance. He disagreed with the tactics of the civil rights movement and believed white society was oppressive. After leaving the Nation of Islam and making a pilgrimage to Mecca, Malcolm X wanted to work with civil rights leaders to advance racial issues. He was assassinated in 1965. The Black Power movement emerged advocating racial pride and immediate action led by figures like Stokely Carmichael and the Black Panthers. Urban riots broke out in response to ongoing racial injustices and the assassinations of Martin Luther King Jr. and Robert F. Kennedy in 1968 further undermined hopes for nonviolent change.
5 Most Popular Action Movies
This document lists and summarizes the top 5 action movies: Idol of Evil: Hell Is Forever about a researcher saving his friend from Satanists; Bleeding Iowa about a convicted felon on a political assassination; Beyond Justice about a boy kidnapped by his father and the mother hiring a mercenary; White Force about an undercover agent tracking a drug dealer; and Savage Justice about the daughter of a diplomat embroiled in a bloody revolution.
The Civil Rights Movement
Spirituals sung by enslaved Africans and their descendants connected their struggle for freedom. Singing communally was one of the few forms of expression available to slaves. Spirituals evolved over time, taking on new meanings in the civil rights movement as freedom songs. Major nonviolent protests like the Selma marches utilized spirituals to strengthen solidarity and commitment to overcoming racial injustice through nonviolent means. The civil rights movement saw many advances, including the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and Voting Rights Act of 1965, but continued to face violent opposition and racism. Music was a powerful tool used throughout the struggle.
BENEATH THE VEIL: A CLOSER LOOK AT ISLAMOPHOBIA
Following US president Donald Trump’s ascension to power, the world has seen a sharp rise in hate crimes against Muslims and other minorities.
A 2016 Georgetown University report documented the effects of Trump’s campaign rhetoric on his supporters. Whilst 2015 saw the sharpest increase in documented hate crimes (180 offences), new reports continue trickling into various watchdog sources.
As Trump fights to keep his travel ban in place and various US officials begin dialogue with foreign nationals, many are keeping a watchful eye on events surrounding the Muslim world.
The Charlie Hebdo, Bataclan, German Christmas Market, Orlando gay nightclub and other violent terrorist attacks have compounded societal divisions, spurring bitter resentment between various denominations of Western society, with secular and moderate Muslims caught in the crossfire.
Many are unsure as to how to ameliorate the crisis. Sections of the Left have tried to accommodate refugees fleeing hostile war zones within the MENA region, whilst far-right factions have pushed for legislation to close the borders and stave off further terrorist attacks. With no end in sight, all sides remain vigilant against new provocations.
The following SlideShare attempts to explain the root causes of Islamophobia.
About ALLRIOT:
Allriot is a sweatshop-free statement t-shirt website. We don't mince the words we say, or the designs we print.
This month we're taking on Islamophobia with our ACLU fundraiser campaign - #ThisMeansLove.
In light of Führer Trump’s disgraceful visa ban on six Muslim countries, we’ve decided to try a little ‘social experiment’ in order to expose the reactions of people towards Muslims, in the US, UK and elsewhere.
Your mission, should you accept, is to engage others by wearing it for a few days, especially in crowded places such as workplaces, malls, concerts, and throngs of bustling, open-mouthed gawkers, etc.
Try different methodologies. Lollygag. Hug your local Sheik. Flash mob (the more, the merrier). Most importantly, just be yourself, but stay safe. Record your observations using our template, either via a journal, blog, social media, video, or with an old-fashioned pen and paper.
In return, you’ll get some kickass free stuff, vouchers, a spot on our social media. The first 20 people to submit their entries will get a full reimbursement on their purchase.
50% of all will be donated to ACLU.

2010 Black History Month Final
This document provides historical context about the civil rights movement and its leaders, including Martin Luther King Jr., Stokely Carmichael/Kwame Ture, and others. It discusses the two phases of King's work - fighting segregation laws in the South and then addressing national economic inequality. While King's dream of racial equality became popularized, the document argues that structural racial inequalities remain in areas like wealth, employment, incarceration rates, and poverty.
Southern americans
The document discusses the history and culture of the Southern United States. It notes that as of 2010, approximately 114.5 million people, or 37% of the total US population, lived in the 16 states that comprise the Southern region. Some of the major historical events and periods that shaped the South include the American Revolution, Civil War, industrialization in the late 19th/early 20th century, and the Great Migration. Famous figures like Martin Luther King Jr. and pivotal moments such as the Civil Rights Movement were important in advancing integration and equal rights for African Americans in the South.
Muslims and west post 9 11

Mental Health Across Culture by International Psychology
This document discusses cultural differences in perceptions of mental illness across several topics: individualistic vs collectivist societies and prevalence of mental illness within each; differing views on the role of therapists in Western vs Asian vs African cultures; how automatic reactions and social stigma regarding mental illness can vary culturally; and examples of cultural variations in recognizing thresholds for disorders and manifestations of depression. It also presents a debate question on universal vs relative definitions of psychiatric disorders across contexts.
Cross Cultural Perceptions
This slide show was created by students enrolled in the Global Agenda class, simultaneously taught at the University of Delaware in the USA and Zayed University in Dubai, UAE. The "perceptions" were not collected in any scientific fashion, but rather by informal surveys.
American Muslim Culture
How American films portray Muslims. A sample of advanced ESL student work on a project for a class "American Culture through Film."
Arab Mental Health
This document discusses differences in perceptions and treatment of mental health between Western and Arab cultures. It explores how Arab perceptions are influenced more by religion, gender roles, and family obligations compared to Western views which focus more on biological and psychosocial factors. Treatment also differs, with Arabs expecting cure and relying more on religion while Western approaches emphasize drugs and therapy. The document notes how these differing views can conflict but cultural education may help treatment while not changing underlying perceptions.
Muslim Arab-Americans
This document provides information to help counselors effectively counsel Muslim Arab American clients. It discusses concepts like cultural competence and ethnocentrism. Key aspects of Islam are explained, such as the Five Pillars and differences from Christianity. Challenges couples may face due to differing views of gender roles are also addressed.

Cultural difference betn American and Arabs
This document discusses several cultural frameworks for comparing communication styles between American and Arab cultures. It finds that Americans generally prefer direct, linear, and fact-based communication that is low-context, while Arabs tend toward more indirect, non-linear, and imagery-based communication that is high-context. Specific differences highlighted include a preference for repetition vs simplicity, accuracy vs imagery, exaggeration vs understatement, words vs actions, and vague vs specific language. The conclusion emphasizes how cultural differences can be perceived negatively if not brought to conscious awareness.
Orientalism
Edward Said analyzes the last phase of Orientalism after World War 2. He discusses how after the wars, the United States replaced European powers as the dominant force in the Middle East and global politics. This led to increased American interest and involvement in the region. However, Said argues that Orientalism continued to propagate misrepresentations of Arab and Eastern cultures as exotic, backward, and dangerous. He provides several examples of how Arabs were negatively depicted in American media, textbooks, and cultural relations policy during this period.
Immigration Powerpoint
The document provides an overview of U.S. immigration history, policies, and the ongoing controversy surrounding both legal and illegal immigration. It discusses the various waves of immigrants to the U.S. from different parts of the world at different time periods, from the late 1800s to present day. In addition, it examines the reasons why people immigrate legally and illegally, where they come from, and possible solutions to illegal immigration such as border security measures or reform policies.

Examples of Discrimination
The document summarizes the discrimination faced by Arab Americans from the 1970s through the early 2000s. It describes how after the 1972 Munich Olympics attack, the Nixon administration implemented "Operation Boulder" which racially profiled and surveilled Arab Americans. In the 1980s, violence against Arab Americans increased following events between the US and Arab countries. The Justice Department even developed plans in the 1980s to intern Middle Easterners in detention camps. After 9/11 and the War on Terror, over 500 people were arrested for suspected terrorist plans though only 4 were convicted, revealing continued discrimination and negative attitudes towards Arab Americans.
Muslims and west post 9 11
I. Islam is the second largest religion globally with over 1.5 billion adherents. However, American views of Islam and Muslims have become increasingly unfavorable in recent years, especially after 9/11.
II. Polls show most Americans view Muslims as prone to violence and extremism. Discriminatory incidents against Muslims, like harassment and attacks on mosques, increased sharply after 9/11 and some political leaders made Islamophobic statements.
III. American Muslims face discrimination like heightened airport security checks, difficulties in the workplace if wearing religious attire, and the politicization of issues like the building of a mosque near Ground Zero in New York. Negative media portrayals contribute to Islamophobic stereotypes
Muslims and west post 9 11
This document discusses American Muslims and Islamophobia in the United States. It provides statistics on the Muslim population and examines public opinion polls that show negative views of American Muslims have increased since 9/11. The document discusses discrimination faced by Muslims, such as harassment, attacks on mosques, and difficulties at airports.

Voices of American Muslims are presented, expressing both challenges in practicing their faith openly as well as messages of tolerance and understanding.
The Rising Police State - The New American Magazine Oct-7-2002
The 9-11 terrorist attacks were intended to provoke an overreaction from the U.S. government according to the article. The terrorists hope the government will implement oppressive police state measures that restrict civil liberties in response. This plays into the terrorists' strategy outlined in the Marxist-Leninist doctrine of using violence to destabilize the government and society. While the attacks were evil, they make sense from the terrorists' perspective of trying to undermine freedom and provoke authoritarian government crackdowns. The article argues the U.S. should avoid overreacting in ways that undermine constitutional freedoms and play into the terrorists' hands.
Racism
This document discusses discrimination faced by American Muslims after 9/11, including increased negative public opinion, stereotyping in media, and hate crimes. It notes that 60% of Americans learn about Islam from news media. Examples are given of discriminatory acts like assaults, women being fired for wearing hijabs, and a proposed mosque near Ground Zero being politicized. Leaders have also made Islamophobic statements, worsening discrimination. Overall, American Muslims faced significant backlash and prejudice after 9/11 due to fear, anger and negative stereotypes in media.
Muslims and west post 9 11
This document discusses discrimination faced by American Muslims after 9/11. It notes that Islam is one of the largest and fastest growing religions, but American views of Islam became more negative after 9/11 due to media portrayals. Polls show many Americans believe negative stereotypes about Muslims and support discriminatory policies. The document outlines several cases of discrimination faced by Muslims in the US through harassment, attacks on mosques, and difficulties at work due to religious attire or names.
Racism video
This document discusses racism against Muslims in the United States. It argues that Americans are more afraid of Muslims like Osama Bin Laden than white male criminals, due to skepticism and racism increased after 9/11. However, statistics show that most acts of domestic terrorism and mass killings are committed by white males. The author claims that white privilege allows white people to avoid stigma and scrutiny faced by Muslims after acts of violence by Muslims.
How Stephen Miller Seized the Moment to Battle Immigration B.docx
How Stephen Miller Seized the Moment to Battle Immigration
By Jason DeParle
The New York Times
August 27, 2019
WASHINGTON—When historians try to explain how opponents of immigration
captured the Republican Party, they may turn to the spring of 2007, when George W.
Bush threw his waning powers behind a legalization plan and conservative populists
buried it in scorn.
Mr. Bush was so taken aback, he said he worried about America “losing its soul,” and
immigration politics have never been the same.
That spring was significant for another reason, too: An intense young man with wary,
hooded eyes and fiercely anti-immigrant views graduated from college and began a
meteoric rise as a Republican operative. With the timing of a screenplay, the man and
the moment converged.
Stephen Miller was 22 and looking for work in Washington. He lacked government
experience but had media appearances on talk radio and Fox News and a history of
pushing causes like “Islamo-Fascism Awareness Week.” A first-term congresswoman
from Minnesota offered him a job interview and discovered they were reading the same
book: a polemic warning that Muslim immigration cold mean “the end of the world as
we know it.”
By the end of the interview, Representative Michele Bachmann had a new press
secretary. And a dozen years later, Mr. Miller, now a senior adviser to President Trump,
is presiding over one of the most fervent attacks on immigration in American history.
The story of Mr. Miller’s rise has been told with a focus on his pugnacity and paradoxes.
Known more for his enemies than his friends, he is a conservative firebrand from liberal
Santa Monica, Calif., and a descendant of refugees who is seeking to eliminate refugee
programs. He is a Duke graduate in bespoke suits who rails against the perfidy of so-
called elites. Among those who have questioned his moral fitness are his uncle, his
childhood rabbi and 3,400 fellow Duke alumni.
Less attention has been paid to the forces that have abetted his rise and eroded
Republican support for immigration — forces Mr. Miller has personified and advanced
in a career unusually reflective of its times.
Rising fears of terrorism after the Sept. 11 attacks brought new calls to keep immigrants
out. Declining need for industrial labor left fewer businesses clamoring to bring them in.
A surge of migrants across the South stoked a backlash in the party’s geographic base.
Conservative media, once divided, turned against immigration, and immigration-
reduction groups that had operated on the margins grew in numbers and sophistication.
Abandoning calls for minority outreach, the Republican Party chose instead to energize
2
its conservative white base — heeding strategists who said the immigrant vote was not
just a lost cause but an existential threat.
Arriving in Washington as these forces coalesced, Mr. Miller rode the tailwinds with zeal
and skill. Warning of terrorism and disturbed by multic ...

Handshake

SEOUL, South Korea – The buzz in town today is this photograph of Microsoft founder Bill Gates’
shaking hands with South Korea President Park Geun-hye.
Gates, 57, might have not realized it Monday, but a one-hand shake in Korean culture – and also in
Asia – is notably casual, done only when the other party is a good friend, of the same or younger age.

Using one hand with the other tucked in the pants pocket is considered rude here, done when one is
expressing superiority to the other.
“Perhaps it was his all-American style but an open jacket with hand in pocket? That was way too
casual. It was very regretful,” said Chung Jin-suk, secretary general at the Korean National
Assembly.
President Park’s office has said nothing publicly about the incident and a spokesperson for Gates
declined to comment.
But Internet chat rooms and social network sites are filled with views debating cultural differences
and analyses of Gates’ laid-back style.
“I don’t know if that was ignorance or just plain disrespect,” Cho Park, a Korean student studying in
New York, said. “It was pretty rude of him. The thing is I’m not sure if it is rude in Western culture.”
The controversy doesn’t end there. Gates had met with two other previous South Korean presidents:
Kim Dae-jung and Lee Myung-Bak. He apparently gave the proper handshake with both hands to the
late Kim in 2002 but was spotted giving an improper shake to President Lee in 2008. That also
became a subject of debate.
Some South Korean media have been speculating that perhaps it was intentional, showing his
political preference; respect for the opposition leader Kim but disrespect for the ruling party leaders
Lee and Park, 61.
“Cultural difference or bad manners?” the Joongang Ilbo newspaper wrote.
“A disrespectful handshake or a casual friendly handshake?” DongAh Ilbo newspaper said in its
photo caption.
“It’s a head of state we’re talking about,” said Rick Yoon, a brand retailer in Seoul. “And she’s a lady.
This is not just a Korean thing. It’s an international protocol.
“Maybe it was intentional. Otherwise, he has a very strange habit.”
Gates was in South Korea on a three-day visit to promote his start-up TerraPower, which is
developing next-generation nuclear reactors.
ABC News’ Joanne Kim contributed to this report.

Multiracial powerpoint with links
As the US becomes more multiracial, acceptance is increasing but racism persists. The document discusses the history of race as a social construct, increasing interracial relationships and multiracial populations. It notes landmark cases like Loving v. Virginia that struck down bans on interracial marriage. While multiracial individuals and families are more common, the "one drop rule" mentality still influences how society views mixed race people. The future projections estimate most Americans will identify as multiracially by 2050.

The document discusses whether media represents realistic images of Arabs. It argues that media does not, citing a survey that found nearly 50% of adults believe there is persistent negative media bias against Muslims and Arabs in media. As evidence, it notes that in films, the villain is often Arab or Muslim, while the hero is non-Arab. This negative portrayal increases when a group is seen as a security threat. Hispanics have also faced long-term negative bias in media related to immigration debates.

The day the world changed
The document discusses the causes of the September 11th terrorist attacks in 2001. It lists 12 factors that contributed to why the attacks happened:
1) Bin Laden believed the US was weak and would withdraw troops after attacks, but 9/11 instead led to the destruction of the Taliban and decimation of al Qaeda.
2) 9/11 was seen by Bin Laden's followers as necessary to defend their radical interpretation of Islam amidst a global community increasingly aware of conflicts in the Islamic world due to new communications technologies.
3) Authoritarian regimes in the Middle East radicalized militants like Bin Laden, while discrimination faced by Muslim immigrants in the West also turned some towards militancy.
Black Votes Matter
This document discusses how the Black Lives Matter movement has been hijacked by wealthy interests like George Soros and the Clinton Global Initiative to undermine the struggles of African Americans and indigenous peoples in the Americas. It argues that BLM inappropriately focuses on recent African immigrants rather than addressing the centuries of oppression faced by African Americans, who have deep ancestral ties to indigenous tribes. Soros and others are accused of promoting a fragmented racial identity for African Americans in order to detract from their claims to land and self-governance based on indigenous rights.

This document summarizes opposing viewpoints on whether third world immigration poses a threat to America's way of life. It introduces Peter Brimelow and John Isbister who argue opposing sides of the issue. Brimelow asserts that large influxes of non-European immigrants threaten American cultural foundations by undermining traditional safeguards against cultural disintegration. Isbister cites research showing immigration has a negligible economic impact and that a more multicultural society will benefit Americans in the long run. The document provides excerpts from both authors to illustrate their arguments.
