Why Do Some People Base On Bad Group On Everyone

We have a lot of issues in the world, but one of our issues is about the travel

ban that was put on the Muslim countries. People have horrible assumptions of

Muslims because of the killing that has happened by the groups called the Taliban,

al-Qaeda, and ISIS. Throughout this administration, there is a lot of blame on the

former administration. All in all, I would also like to explain what is Islam and what

does Islam stand for, and why I dont think that there should be a travel ban on

Muslim countries that are in need. Because I dont think that it is fair, a whole nation

gets accused of a small group does.

First off I would like to explain what Islam is. The meaning of Islam is the

submission or surrender to Allah (God). The root word Salam means peace and

safety. The way these terrorist groups is portraying Islam is in a horrible way. There

is a saying the Quran were you had killed an innocent person. There is a verse in

the Quran 5:32 Because of that, we decreed upon the Children of Israel that whoever kills a soul

unless for a soul or corruption in the land it is as if he had slain humanity entirely. And whoever

saves one it is as if he had saved humanity entirely. That means that if you have killed one

person you have killed all of the humanity. But people think that because of what the Taliban and
 Dambatta 2

ISIS are doing is a part of Islam it is not. At the time it is sad that people dont have an open mind

about what the Quran says. Just to clarify not real practicing Muslim condones these horrible things

that these terrorist groups are doing. When people talk about the Sharia law and how they dont want

to follow it is also stated in the Quran For citizens, they must obey the established authorities

(e.g. the courts, the police, etc.). They must obey the law of the land as long as it does not violate

God's law. The meaning of that is where ever you are you follow whatever law or rules and

regulation there are, but the only time that you dont have to do that is when is goes against gods

word. So in other words that are why the majority of the Muslims in the world are living in peace

because they are following what they are being told. Sometimes when people read the Quran

then tend to misunderstand it in the most extreme way. But when you get someone that knows

and understand the Quran, it is a beautiful thing. There is also a statistic about Muslim While

the worlds population is projected to grow 32% in the coming decades, the number of Muslims

is expected to increase by 70% from 1.8 billion in 2015 to nearly 3 billion in 2060. In 2015,

Muslims made up 24.1% of the global population. Forty-five years later, they are expected to

make up more than three-in-ten of the worlds people (31.1%).So with that being said, more and

more people see what Islam is really like. It is also said that Muslim families are one of the most

influential people, and the reason why that is being said is that they are high achievers and also

where ever they are at they dont cause trouble. In Islam that is what is said you follow to laws of

the land that you are on.

There so many things that are wrong with this travel ban. I would like to point out a couple.

This travel ban is pointed towards all Muslim countries. This travel ban is not a representation of

what this country is. This country is supposed to allow you to practice your religion freely without you

being judged or looked at some way. That is not what this country represents. Also the safety of the
 Dambatta 3

Muslims American in the United States. Even when this country was going through the elections

many Muslim American were scared and are scared for their safety .putting this travel ban makes it

even worst for people traveling out of the United States worst. Because you never know people are

probably going to start attacking them for what this administration is doing. They are not thinking of

the ramifications of what is going to happen to the American people when they travel out to do the

United States, and supposedly president Donald Trump at first he said The administration has

been goaded into replying, No, no, no this has nothing to do with Islam. It

points to the 85 percent of Muslim aliens globally who are unaffected by the orders.

It stresses that the countries with the worlds largest Muslim populations

Indonesia, Egypt, Pakistan. Are not touched by the orders. It notes that countries

covered by the order were first cited in legislation signed by Obama, not because

they were Muslim but because they had unstable or hostile regimes that defy

reliable immigrant screening. It emphasizes that of the original seven Islamic

countries, one has now been exempted from the temporary ban i.e., that the

trajectory is to affect fewer Muslims, not more. It is was to be looked there are a

terrorist group amongst all of the religions.

What people think about this travel ban Thats because the ban, while doing virtually nothing to

deter terrorist attacks in this country, aids the recruitment efforts of the Islamic State and other

extremist groups by substantiating their case that anti-Islamic bigotry thrives in the United

States. this has also affected the people who are in danger everyday living in their country. This

also affects the refugees that have applied for a visa to come into this country. To add to that this

has also affected the people that have come here legally. They can travel outside of the country
 Dambatta 4

and come back in without being harassed by the TSA, and they have all the legal documents to

come back into this country, just because of where they are coming from.

In conclusion to this paper, this travel ban is not what this country represents. Almost all

of the people in this county come from another county. And it is not fair to blame one group of

peoples violence for a whole religion. If the whole religion were violent, the whole world would

be in chaos. But the majority of the Muslims that live in the world are living in peace. A lot of

times the Muslims themselves are afraid for their lives also and the reason why is because people

who dont have the education and dont know anything about the religion while just go off on

anyone who has a scarf or someone who has a Muslim name.
