Social Injustices In America

Social injustices occur all over the world, so much so that it’s almost second nature to see people undergoing turmoil. The biggest injustice of our era are the murders occurring in the middle east due to personal beliefs by the Taliban and many of the eastern governments. Hundreds of people have been murdered and tortured because they do not follow the Muslim and Islamic religion. America needs to take charge and stop these criminal actions, stop the spread of these acts, and help the people in need (Fariba Nawa 1).

Although American christians have been murdered and tortured simply do to their faith, America has done nothing in retaliation to the murdering of our people. An American scholar, Tony Chisley, was living in Afghanistan,

“ If you're serious about freedom of religion- and I’m speaking now to my fellow christians who remain the majority is this country- we have to understand and attack on one faith is an attack on all our faiths.

Once released, Mozaffari finds that Germany had still not given him asylum (Salahuddin 1). Countries have been making laws to make refuge more difficult. For example, Hungary lets no refugees in it’s borders, Germany has increased border security, and many other countries have made hundreds of political hoops people must jump through to achieve asylum legally ( Hoekstra 1 ). The US needs to let these refugees in. However, precautions need to be taken a flood of these people come. There has been incidents of refugees causing harm to native born people. Suicide bombers have attacked Germany’s cities calling themselves refugees, others that have disguised themselves as people in need have raped people in the streets of Nice, France, and a Syrian al-Qaida fighter killed 19 people in a Norwegian cafe ( Hoekstra 1 ). Despite these concerns, the US is smart and powerful enough to monitor and filter the refugees seeking asylum. “ Our faith summons us to
