According to payne in making enemies she contends that throughout the united states there has been increased prejudice against muslims and arabs after 9/11 . she also contends that htis was exacerbated by the united states government's actions, and response, to these people in response to the terrorist attacks. more then just effectively condoning this type of behavior it also served to encourage discrimination as an act of pariotism.
The strong negative emotional aspect itied to mislims and arabs after 9/11 would entice a greater incidence of hate crimes against these groups. This would only be aggravated, as payne suggested, by those who were more patriotic;as treating muslims and arabs would beperceived as supporitng the United States. Furthermore, the affective prejudice made the arabs and muslims seem like lesser americans, or not amercan at all, and thus not entiled to the treatment that others deserve.
There are a number of htings that can be done to promote tolerance within local cities. A good portion of the danger is caused by ignorance of islam and arab culture. this could be mitigated by having a muslim talk about both culture and religion to groups of people in places usch as at churches, schools, and other large group gatherings. secondarily, local news outlets should be encouraged to do stories that positively report on islam and arab culture to reach an even broader audience. finally those that are not prejudiced hsould encourage multi-culture gatherings, and personally participate in these events and organizations.
Other teachers have answered your subsequent questions very well. But I must put my own two cents in to this post.
Orientalism implies distrust of anything or anyone who is Asian. Yet, you seem to be focusing on only the Islamic and Arabic parts of Asia. As you can see from this map, Islam is not the major religion in the Orient and most Asians are not Arabic.

Is it possible that the current prejudice against Muslims is due to the actions and diatribes of a few Muslims against the U.S. and its allies in the last 50 years?
In my opinion, the prejudice is not due to Orientalism, but is due to anti-Muslim and anti-Arabic sentiments.
I am under the impression that Orientalism would include the Muslims because Orientalism is the study of the far East. At bleast that's how I understand it to be

I wasn't given squat as far as materials to read, thank you very much. What seems a little weird to me is that there is nothing, not in ANY of the text available to me, that pertains to this "Orientalism" bit. I have looked everywhere for 4 friggin days and have had enough. This class is ruining my GPA because of the fact that nothing is at all what it is supposed to be. So far, I have done everything on my own. Posting questions? You wont get an answer. Thanks, but I'll take my help where I can. If you can give me the chapter that this crap is supposed to be in, I'll find it. Otherwise, try to keep the negative crap out of the help forums. If you want to help, why don't you tell me why I can't find anything on this? Why is there no reading to go along with this?
But again, thanks for pointing out Chapter 11, I am rereading it as we speak.
According to Payne, in Making Enemies she contends that throughout the United States there has been increased prejudice against Muslims and Arabs after 9/11. She also contends that this was exacerbated by the United States government's actions in response to the situation. More than just effectively condoning this type of behavior it also served to encourage discrimination as an act of patriotism.
The strong negative emotional feelings towards Muslims and Arabs after 9/11 would entice a greater incidence of hate crimes against these groups. This would only be aggravated, as Payne suggested, by those who were more patriotic; as treating Muslims and Arabs would be perceived as supporting the United States. Furthermore, the prejudice made the Arabs and Muslims seem like lesser Americans or not American at all; thus insinuating that they are not entitled to the same treatment as Americans.
List two to three characteristics of Orientalism. How may Orientalism and prejudice contribute to hate crimes against these groups?
One characteristic would be faith and another would be language. Orientalism and prejudice contribute to hate crimes because people assume all “non-Americans” are terrorists and so people will commit crimes against races because they feel these groups are inferior.
In addition to the examples of tolerance identified in the article, what else can individuals do to promote tolerance and reduce prejudice in their towns and cities?
There are a number of things that can be done to promote tolerance within local cities. A good portion of the danger is caused by ignorance of Islam and Arab culture. This could be mitigated by having a Muslim talk about both culture and religion to groups of people in places such as at churches, schools, and other large group gatherings. Secondarily, local news outlets should be encouraged to do stories that positively report on Islam and Arab culture to reach an even broader audience. Finally those that are not prejudiced should encourage multi-culture gatherings, and personally participate in these events and organizations.
