Afterwards, Islam became an increasingly associated with terrorist misadventures and Muslims were increasingly unwelcome in the West. Many people started protests and wanted to send the Muslims back to their own country, but some of them were born, raised, and lived in this country so when some Muslims were asked how they felt about this they said " I was born in this country, I go to school here and I was raised in this country, so when they say go back to your country what country do they mean?" Furthermore, so many Muslims were afraid to go out on the streets and live their normal lives because there were so many protesters and they were afraid that they would get attacked. Many Muslims live their life in fear to this day. Not to mention, even people in politics were planning to get rid of the Muslims. Some many Muslims were Republicans, but they switched to democratic after the incident because they felt that the Republicans did not care about them and just saw them as terrorists and not as people or citizens. Finally, a lot of Muslim people got discriminated at work,school, and other public
Muhammad was born in Mecca, in around 570 C.E. Mecca was a great city for trading, and most of Muhammad’s relatives were traders and business people. He belonged to the Banu Hashim clan, a prominent familiy of Mecca, but the clan was not prosperous during Muhammad's early life. He became an orphan at the age of 6 as his father, Abdullah, died before Muhammad was born, and his mother, Amina, died of illness. His grandfather and uncle looked after him during his early years. He later worked as a merchant or a shepherd, and married at the age of 25. Muhammad married a widow named Khadijah and joined her in business. He started off very poor, but then he became a very skilled trader and manager.
Muhammad was born in AD 570 in the town of Mecca – a mountain town in the high desert plateau of western Arabia. His name comes from the Arabic verb hamada, meaning "to praise, to glorify." Muhammad's father died before he was born, and Muhammad was the only child born to his mother, Amenah.
When Muhammad was born in 570 CE in Makkah, his mother sent him as an orphan to live with a nomad family. As he grew up, he took on many important duties and made many trading journeys outside the Arabian Desert. Later, he began managing trading caravans for a widow named Khadijah. Khadijah was impressed with Muhammad’s abilities, so she proposed to him and they got married and had several children.
Islam, a religion of people submitting to one God, seeking peace and a way of life without sin, is always misunderstood throughout the world. What some consider act of bigotry, others believe it to be the lack of education and wrong portrayal of events in media; however, one cannot not justify the so little knowledge that America and Americans have about Islam and Muslims. Historically there are have been myths, many attacks on Islam and much confusion between Islam as a religion and Middle Easter culture that is always associated with it. This paper is meant to dispel, or rather educate about the big issues that plague people’s minds with false ideas and this will only be touching the surface.
There is little need to reiterate the long history of U.S. governments going wherever they have wanted and doing whatever they have wanted. The question is how Muslims navigate through the political and economic architectures that ensue. Certainly, Islam has long valued extending itself throughout the world. Travel is primarily a modality for accumulating knowledge, acting on the desire to know, and then, only secondarily, is that knowledge used as a means of imbricating the "presentation" of Islam within heterogeneous settings. The historical challenge for Islamic missions, armies, scholars, traders, and sojourners was how to maintain the coherence of the faith in foreign spaces simultaneously considered within and outside of the Islamic world.
The iconic set of rules that Islam follows are the Five Pillars of Islam. They are a set of rules that are expected of all Muslims, or followers of Islam, in order to achieve eternal glorification.

The sacred text that Muslims follow is titled the Quran. The Quran consists of teachings that Muhammad wrote while being divinely inspired by Allah.
