ENG 103
According to this chart the hate against Muslims
is very real. The chart is graphed by incidents through the years of 1995-2008
detailing numerically the hate crimes towards Muslims. As it starts from the
year 1995-2000, the hate crimes are at a low of a tenth (below 50). However, when
you get to 2001 it sky rockets to 98% (481) of the graph, and reason for being
so is because of an unfortunate horrid incident that happened in that year.
September 11th, 2001 was the year that struck the whole of America
when the twin towers were struck by planes killing nearly a total of 3,000
people as well as another government facility around the U.S was struck that
day also. In that year alone the racial hate towards Muslims spike high and got
very disgusting to the point where non-muslims such as Sikhs were being
attacked just because of the imprinted racial profile that the media portrayed
upon Americans. Being that is the main cause of the spike in anti-islamic hate
crimes that year, the following years it all decreased by 60% (all under 160).
Therefore as an impression of this it showed the main cause for the revolving
factor that triggered the hate-impact upon Muslims which was 9/11. All of this “data”
is relatively significant in relation to our cluster theme as well, because it
features a type of race and then hate towards these people from opposing races
(Americans as a wholesome). The graphing alone speaks for itself and details
moreover why and how anti-islamics hate crimes have grown and spurred in addition
to unfortunate incidents. However with that being said I myself am a bit riled
up by how idiotic people can be in associating a completely non-relative wholesome
of people with an incident that happened within the midst of government
shadows. Although I can understand the emotion of hate that developed towards
the Muslims, it still isn’t a righteous reason to go out and bash on these
people without knowing the wholesome truth behind such a crime committed.
