Islamophobia And The U.S. Media, Michelle Maria Nichole Diamond Nov 2007

Islamophobia And The U.S. Media, Michelle Maria Nichole Diamond

Dissertations and Theses

The following paper examines the growing fear and discrimination currently projected towards Islam and Muslims in the United States. This thesis will specifically focus on what role the U.S. mainstream media has played in either increasing or decreasing Islamophobia amongst the American public post September 11, 2001. The research collected to conduct this study came from theories of political science, conflict resolution, international affairs, psychology, sociology, and personal interviews. I conclude that Islamophobia has increased in the United States since the attacks of September 11, 2001 and that Islamophobia, due to the mainstream media, is more pervasive in the U.S. …

Reading South African Media Representations Of Islam After 11 September 2001, Gabeba Baderoon Mar 2007

Reading South African Media Representations Of Islam After 11 September 2001, Gabeba Baderoon

CLCWeb: Comparative Literature and Culture

In her paper, "Reading South African Media Representations of Islam after 11 September 2001," Gabeba Baderoon probes the resonances of news representations of 11 September 2001. Baderoon examines the events of that day from the perspective of South Africa, arguing that the international media became located and embodied through the representations of the highly visible and grievable deaths of just under three thousand people in the United States. Her analysis reveals a complex view that derives from the legacy of legislated racial discrimination crafted under the policy of Apartheid as well as the presence of Muslims brought as slaves during …

Fethullah Gulen As A Servant-Leader, Gurkan Celik, Yusuf Alan Jan 2007

Fethullah Gulen As A Servant-Leader, Gurkan Celik, Yusuf Alan

International Journal of Servant-Leadership

The leadership literature often enumerates different leadership types and qualities (Northouse, 2002). This article aims to examine servant-leadership using an empirical example with a coherent theoretical basis. It centres on Fethullah Giilen, the initiator of a worldwide Islamic social movement. Giilen is of Turkish origin but has lived in the United States since 1999 because of the repressive political atmosphere of Turkey and due to some personal health problems. He has been defined as a harmonizing leader and an intellectual-scholar (ulama) focussing on social reforms and mentality change (Bulac, 2005). The movement inspired by Giilen emerged in the late 1960s …


Servant-Leadership, Regenerative Love, And Forgiveness, Harris W. Fawell Jan 2007

Servant-Leadership, Regenerative Love, And Forgiveness, Harris W. Fawell

International Journal of Servant-Leadership

SERVANT-LEADERSHIP - "NONE DARE CALL IT RELIGIOUS?" Christine Wicker, a senior religion reporter for The Dallas Morning News, captures an intriguing aspect of the spirit of Robert Greenleaf and the servant-leadership movement he created in her essay, Seeking the Soul of Business. Wicker observes that "None dare call it religious! But a management philosophy catching on at companies across America sounds so much like religion that adherents are sometimes at pains to make the difference clear. This is spirituality. Ethics. Values. Common sense. And market imperative, they say" (Spears, 1988, p. 246). But not necessarily the domain of religion.


Political Repression Of Islam, Amy Swift Jan 2007

Political Repression Of Islam, Amy Swift

Human Rights & Human Welfare

Central Asia, once one of the least known regions in the world, has become important to the United States since 9/11, the resulting U.S. invasion of Afghanistan, and the new “War on Terror.” Tajikistan, often considered the poorest and most obscure of the five Central Asian “Stans,” was thrust into the public view when it became useful to the United States in its 2001 invasion of Afghanistan.
