ISLAM IN THE UNITED STATES

According to Stefan, (226) there is a special matter to the Islam which is known as Islamofascism as it is the source where they get many of their essays. Islamofascism has been under political debate in the American government as the scholars in the states have been in the trial of assessing g the value of the term. In the U.S, as Islam is well known, it has become more debatable and it insists that its adoration and the Islamphobia are in order. The creation of the term has caused a lot of tension among the Muslims and the Islam based on its national socialism. The term had caused the revolution in the Iran and led to the creation of the republic of the Islam in 1979. This revolution together with its human rights exploits the criminal catastrophe whereby the militants took over the US delegation. Stefan, (227) asserts that through this, the Muslim and the non-Muslim had their own reasons to fear of several Islam groups in America who appealed to defend their revolutionaries from the ruthless actions.
Amid the Muslims, the fear of the West and the U.S and mainly the U.S created the Western fear to the Islam. Islamphobia, enmity and anger to the Muslims increased the fear of the West and most to the U.S who were fed up by the U.S and increased their anger to them. The term Islamofascism mainly affected the United States due to its cultural code which meant that it was a reputable linguistic argument which aim was to withdraw the whole American religion with its culture. The term was described as dangerous as it hinders and demonizes the simple inadequacy of the major domains with the Muslims. Thus the fact remains that Islam and its cultural traditions will create problems to the American modernization requirements (Stefan, 239).
This has been a radical source due to the fact that disapproval of Islam has existed since it was formed. The reason as to why it is a credible source is because the Islam’s criticism was initiated by the Christians who referred the Islam as essential Christian heretical doctrine. The author’s main point is that the term currently has neither meaning except that it demonstrates something that is nor desirable and connects Islam to the fact that concept was more important issue of disparagement than of the philosophical clarity. The source fits with the other sources as they also demonstrate how Islam religion is undermined in U.S despite it being the second largest religion universally.

According to Rastegar, (457) he focuses on the way the American secularism is ratified by the state. Management of the Islam who lives in America makes the Muslims believe that it America has become more a more productive domain in their reform of the Islam and the advancement of the Islam women conditions. Although the author argues that the U.S had led the war on terror, the American government has established a program that will create unity among the Islam and make loyal Muslim citizens. The article improves the change of the Islam based on the U.S engagement rather than on the basis of state detachment. The American state addresses the Muslim Americans as a religion on their own and Islam as a religion. This is a true fact that the States government is trying to establish religious proofs based on the patriotic citizenship as a way of promoting the religious meanings and improving the American Islam. Although the U.S is establishing its programs of promoting the various religions, America proves itself as a state that is functioned in creating the American Islam despite the opposition from other Islamic enemies based on different versions (Rastegar, 461).
This religion unity of the American Islam somehow affected the U.S. As the modernization of America did not mainly lead to the decline of personality in religion or the relegation of religion within the society, it led to the useful divergence and the liberation of the material domains like the budget and the skill that was based on religion. The other effect it has caused the American society is on the gender issue. The gender forces are much politicized as the women who are working for the change and going at risk as they are being patented as those who are supporting the wishes of the American Imperial wishes. Despite the U. S offering to protect the Islam from the disturbing engagement in politics, the lobbying of the some interpretations from various religions mainly based on women’s status in Islam, it has been the main issue affecting the states policies (Rastegar.471).
The source is based on credibility as it describes how the American government protects the life of the Islam who lives there and their religion. It is a credible source as it tries to unite the public with the other Americans. The source is connected with the other articles as it illustrates how Islamic religion is taken in America, the government tries to keep them away from their political enemies.

According to Kazi, (23) understanding the Islam in the U.S classrooms has become a difficult issue. This is due to the American differences in the ethnicity, culture, religion and linguistic which has made the schools more different and complicated. The author states that for the removal of the negative cast that is based on the Islam, the teachers must introduce the common values that are connected by the Islam in a way that children can understand from their early age. Not long when the Islam religion was negatively misunderstood by many Americans who had negative perceptions about them (Kazi, 25).
These misunderstandings can be said to be the root cause of the disastrous events of war that took place in Afghanistan and Iraq and the Fort Hood shootings. This has caused effects to the American society as the negative perceptions have moved from the untrue and the false portrayal of Islam by the public and some of the religions and other political leaders. These negative perceptions decrease the importance of teaching about Islam and Muslims in American classrooms. So as to remove these negativities, it is important to teach children about Islam at their early stage. Many religions that are based on the U.S Islam have become more provocative and the faith that is not well understood. For the Americans to have a better understanding of the Islam, they should have a better awareness and love for the Islam followers (Kazi, 28).
The source can be said to be radical. This is because it tries to show the importance of the Islam and making the children aware of them and taking them as humans. The source tries to bring the awareness to the Americans about the values of the Islam and having positive mind about them. The source is connected to other sources as it talks about having a positive perception about the Islamic religion and teaching the children at their early age about them.

According to Samari, (5) the Islamophobia is greatly increasing in America. This increase considers the approach of the public health where the Muslim Americans have been discriminated. The article discusses how Islamophobia has increased and the ways in which it is affecting the health of the Muslim Americans. It has negatively affected their health by interfering on personal systems such as stress reactivity and the social relations. Islamophobia causes negative health outcomes and the health diversities. It is more than aggression as it focuses on the history of the policies of America and the discriminations that cause racial and intolerant confines between Muslims. Discrimination that is based on the relational levels is the aspects of the stigma. The Muslim American discrimination is like the input of the approach that is based on the religious discrimination. This daily discrimination was also connected with many physical and mental health results and some risk factors that are based on poor health such as drug abuse (Samari, 25).
Extent discrimination such as race, ethnic discrimination of the Muslim Americans affects the discrimination on health care. Islamophobia affects the U.S as Muslims who were identified as the non-white groups and their religious status was now connected with the racialism in America. It affects the people’s lives that appear as Muslims in America. This gives challenge to the American government on the development of the important theoretical and conceptual modes that can help in the explanation of the health outcomes among the Muslim Americans. The author (Samari, 45) asserts that climate status of Islamophobia and the research of the discrimination and stigma suggest that the greater focus needs to be paid to the Islamophobia and the public health in America.
The source is under credibility as it tries to discuss how Islamophobia is affecting the health life of Muslim. The source calls for the attention based on public health and considers the identity of the Muslim Americans. It is connected to the other sources as they all describes the discrimination of Islam showing the sources of its negative health outcomes. This should take it to the public health research discovering the differences of it and public health.

According to Ali, (793) the four historical stage connections on the Islam and the Western domain are controlled by the U.S. The leading stage is the connection of the values according to the empathy difference; the other is the stage that is changed by order of the Islam and the Western values difference. The third stage is after the September 11 when the interpublic connections differentiated between the Western and the values of the Islam and become greater than before. The fourth stage for the Islam connections with the Americans that led to the modernized world is once the supremacy of the former American domain where the new values were not known and the Islam reconciled. Ali (800) tries to identify the article in four phases of the connections among Islam and the new World with the basis of the American Islamic connection. The context on the years of the 20th century was a main union of the standards amongst the Islam and the Euro-America though it was a main difference of the unity between them.
The American government as it also prohibited liquor based on the legal adjustment that happened on the two world wars which was a main union of Islam as a main anti-alcohol philosophy. This was caused by the holiness of the families, the suspicion of the illicit sex and denial of homosexuality which were all values that were shown by the Islam and the Euro- Americans. This mainly affected the American government on the third stage where the American-Islamic union unfolded. The government wanted to trade with currency phobia for them to have their political support. Despite the promises whereby the war was not based on violence is not based on the Islam, and made the Muslims have an unfair price for the latest campaign in America due to the war on Iraq and the harassment of the Muslims who live in America (Ali 817).
The source is importantly talking about the connections of the Islam and the new world which was controlled by the Americans. The source identifies the interpublic unity between them which was formed. The source connects with the sources that talk about connecting the Americans with the Islam through understanding their values and bringing reconciliation among them.

According to lnhorn and Serour, (935) Islam is referred as the second largest religion internationally. The article focuses on how the Islam as the religion shapes the medical approach. It focuses on the way the Islamic connections affects the health care and the ways that can improve the health care and services of the Arab –Muslims and patients. Muslims do not connect with the common international normality of the clinic car and their best practices. Their approach to the medical problems is connected to a wide range of temporary status and social conditions. This mainly affects the Americans as the Muslim patients are encouraged to seek their personal medications. This raises the ethical questions on the health care and the equality on social justice which has been a challenge to the immigrants in the American health care system.
The authors’ states that despite the fact that these Arab Americans have gained the higher standard, the new Arab settlers and exiles have inferior revenue conditions with most of their relations living in poverty. The article focuses on how the Islamic sacred specialists could produce a vital role in motivating the technical developments where the use of these technologies controls them providing a support in medicine (lnhorn & Serour, 944).
The source turns out to be radical as it encourages the Muslim to seek medical care. The reason as to why the source is credible is because these medical cares in the U.S are considered to be established by God where the clinicians work under God’s control. The source fits with the other sources as it connects the accounts of the Arab- Muslim settlers in the American war where there is urgent need of taking Muslims into American health. This should also focus on the ethical relations based on the health care.
