Intolerance toward Muslims

How does the dress code in France and the modern world affect Muslim appearance and demonstrate Intolerance?

This question is a very important issue today because Intolerance affects many people of all racial backgrounds with tan or dark skin. Intolerance is not only expressed to people of different ethnicities but to social or religious citizens of the world. Muslims are discriminated for both their appearance and dress attire. Muslims and people of all colors can wear a head dress, turban or loose clothing and be judged for their choice in the way they dress. In this decade, strong believers of faith have been persecuted for not fitting in with society and its surroundings, otherwise known as the norm. Although this does not occur everywhere in the world, we are emphasizing hatred and discrimination towards people's beliefs and right to be themselves. I find that there is a lack in society voicing their beliefs and being forced to hide from the reality of not just life but their own beliefs. People of non religious background are known for complaining about the difference in the way we al look. If only we people could see through our ways or stop being bystanders and stand up for those who are "picked on", we could solve our intolerance and persecution on innocent citizens to make a more accepting world.

  1. I think the structure of this piece is working well. I think the heat of the story is coming from enraged Muslims who have heard of this story and feel offended. I think further drafts and writing would help you come up with more vivid vocabulary.
