Topic: Muslim culture and discrimination due to terrorism backlash

Thesis Statement: Due to the rise of terrorist attacks across the world, Muslim culture has encountered an upsurge in negative stereotypes articulated by the larger society.

1. Introduction

Since September 11, 2001 attacks, amplified racial and religious hatred has left Muslims, Arabs and Middle Easterners, fearful of potential hostility and hatred from persons of other cultures(Peek 69). These attacks, and the backlash they created, have widen the cultural division by society provoking hate crimes against Muslims in the West. Whenever there is a conspicuous attack nationally or internationally, there does tend to be a connection in events aimed at the Muslim community. There are few researches on the impact of fundamentalist Islamic terrorist occurrences on the incorporation of Muslim culture in Western societies.
