'Religious and Ethnic Groups\r'

'Islam spectral pigeonholings differ from other religious conventions in divers(prenominal) ways. Islam is the belief that the purpose of their origination is to love and serve god. They deal that Jesus, Abraham and Moses atomic number 18 prophets and that is what makes them wreck with other beliefs. There god is every last(predicate)ah and they believe that they should require only five times a solar day at certain times. Islam and Christianity have not had precise good experiences. Muslim followers do not get along with Christian followers because of beliefs. Muslims believe that Jesus was only a prophet and Christians believe that he is the son of god and righteousness him as god not as a prophet.\r\nThese beliefs have led to many problems in the spunk East where Muslims prosecute Christians because they atomic number 18 Christian and do not sh ar the same beliefs. Islam has contri aloneed to the Ameri gouge assimilation by showing everyone that it is okay to be contrastive and to believe in different things. Everyone knows that Muslims were responsible for the 9/11 event. I think ever since accordingly Muslims have been looked at in a different way and have been discriminated because of this event. 9/11 was a very tragic event and it caused a circularise of pain and suffering for America.\r\nI understand how that notify leave Muslims to be hard-boiled differently and discriminated against and regardless not every Muslim soul is bad and deserves to be tempered differently because of this event. No one should have to pay for someone else’s mistakes. Also the Boston marathon bombing was other event that Muslim was involved. Not necessarily a Muslim from the Middle East but ease a Muslim follower. People associate them with force and bombing and that they hate America, but not everyone that f whollys within that group is a bad person and follows this route.\r\nBeing able to learn more almost Islam groups helped me understan d more about their plurality and culture. I understand their beliefs and why they choose to do the things they do. The racial/ethnic group I chose was African Americans. These are race that are of African descent. They differ from others because their ancestors were slaves and they were discriminated against for a very long time because of their skin color. African Americans had to fight for their freedom and break away from slavery. They were treated badly and discriminated against to the point where peck became prejudice against them.\r\nAfrican Americans have many contributions to the American culture. They have taught us that no matter your skin color we all deserve to be treated the same. They have provided us with great talent such as bluster talent , musical talent , leadership etcetera some of the greatest people in tarradiddle were African American such as martin Luther big businessman Jr. , Michael Jordan, Rosa parks, president Obama and the list can go on forever. All of these great icons separately contributed something to our society and made it what it is today.\r\nThe prejudice and discrimination was a part of African Americans lives. They were slaves for many years and treated so horribly by slave owners and people in general. Their ancestors suffered on a daily terms and were treated as if they were not humans and do not deserve to live. Thankfully that has past but I still do believe that because of those events people still to this day don’t incessantly accept African Americans. Some people are still prejudice against them; typically find these people in the south which is where the slavery mainly took place.\r\nAll that I have learned about this group has helped me to understand them and appreciate them even more. A grapple of my close friends are African Americans and to know that I am friends with such great people is an honor. I would never treat anyone differently because they don’t look like me no matter the d estiny everyone should be equal. The prejudice and discrimination that both Islam and African Americans experienced is somewhat similar. I believe that they are both discriminated against because of the idea and stereotypes that society has created for their groups.\r\nThese two groups in any case are discriminated against because of the way they look and their skin tone. They are different because Muslims are discriminated against because of certain actions that other group members have decided to take part in. African Americans were discriminated against because their ancestors where slaves and they had no control over that because that’s how it was in the past. Discrimination from what I can see is in the main about skin color and differences in cultures and in origins. These groups are perfect examples of this.\r\n'
