DISCRIMINATION TOWARDS MUSLIMS 2
Introduction
According to Awan and Dr. Zempi (2020), declaration of Islamophobia contains
harassment, violence, verbal abuse, and offencive online and internet abuse. Muslims all around
the world can face islamophobia, and it has a very negative effect on muslims. Islamophobia
threatens health equity, but little is known about how discrimination affects Muslims' health
(NCBI, n.d.). In the US, Muslims have been subjected to racial profiling, harassment on college
campuses, and an immigration restriction. (NCBI, n.d.). Because of Islamophobia, muslims
around the world are discriminated against which affects them mentally and emotionally by
bringing them stress, fear, and anxiety as well as it limits their social integration.
Islamophobia in Different Ways
Muslims encounter islamophobia in different ways, when they encounter islamophobia,
and it affects their mental health. Islamophobia is social stigma toward Islam and Muslims,
dislike of Muslims as a political force, and a distinct construct referring to xenophobia and racism
toward Muslims or those perceived to be Muslim (NCBI, n.d.). Discrimination is linked to the
initiation of physiological reactions to stress, which have long-term consequences for health
outcomes, including a "wear and tear" effect on regulatory systems (NCBI, n.d.). This shows how
socially Muslims can be scared of the hatred from other countries. Things such as the “Muslim
ban” makes muslims feel that they have no value, which also makes them more scared of going to
other places. Discrimination towards muslims can have long-term consequences of “stress
reactions” shows how miserable it is for muslims to deal with Islamophobia almost everywhere.
In the US, Muslims frequently describe feeling threatened, alone, and alienated. Anyone who
"sounds" or "appears" Muslim is also affected by this, not just Muslims. Muslim women have
experienced harassment, intimidation, and physical abuse, particularly those who wear the
Islamic outer veil, or hijab. Muslim youth are bullied by classmates and adults, including teachers
and academics, who perceive them as dangers. Compared to students of other faiths, Muslim
youngsters are more likely to experience bullying at school. Muslims are being bullied and
harassed because of representing their religion. Even worse, muslim children in schools would
get bullied and targeted. They will be physically abused for representing their religion or for the
9/11 incident. It’s hard for muslims to make friends or feel unlonely anywhere they go because of
people treating them differently (Just a moment, n.d.). Muslims get treated a lot differently than
they should in many ways possible, and muslims will be bullied because of religion, but they can
also deal with it.
Muslims Fighting Back
Sometimes Islamophobes cut out muslims’ freedom and that, of course, won’t stop
muslims from doing their duties.Anti-Muslim sentiment has risen sharply in recent years. Attacks
against mosques directly target religious freedom, despite the fact that these emotions can take
many different forms. There have been attempts to obstruct or reject the required zoning permits
for the construction and expansion of other facilities. Existing and proposed mosque sites around
the nation have been the focus of vandalism and other criminal activity (American Civil Liberties
Union, n.d.).This shows how Islamophobes are heavily against islam and that they want to get rid
of it . But muslims won’t fight back physically, instead, they will pray to their lord to help them
out and they will remember the prophet and have patience. Even if those Islamophobes will
attack their religious homes and mosques, muslims will still go on with all they can and have
even more patience.Rasmus Paludan, the head of the Danish far-right political party Hard Line,
was in charge of the Quran burning. Swedish authorities say the protest was legal under the
country's free speech laws, but Sweden's leaders condemned the act, calling it "appalling."
(Turak, 2023).Some people in specific countries will be burning muslims’ holy Quran and that of
course will also not stop muslims from fighting back, knowing that the leader of Sweden said that
the act was horrifying, proves how muslims actually fought back. Now that muslims are having
their freedom cut off, they decided to fight back and earn back their freedom.
Conclusion
Islamophobia, which targets Muslims, makes them feel unwelcome and creates stress,
concern, and anxiety. It also makes it difficult for them to integrate into society.
Discrimination is associated with the start of stress-related physiological responses. This
demonstrates how socially afraid Muslims might be of hostility from other nations. Muslims are
bullied by peers and adults who view them as threats, including teachers and academics. Let's not
forget how Islamophobes prohibit Muslims from performing their duty; they have been damaging
mosques to keep Muslims from visiting them. Because of all this, muslims go through a lot
almost everyday. What islamophobes do affects muslims mentally and it is not okay for muslims
at all to face those islamophobes.
