Final Syrian Refugee Crisis and Islamophobia paper:
Immigration and turmoil in the Middle East have always been “hot topics ” that resurface in every presidential election. Even though there are many other presidents who have taken discriminatory actions against certain minorities of people, such as internment camps for the Japanese in World War II, .Donald J. Trump, was a horrible United States 45th president, is Islamophobic to such an extent that he has proposed an unconstitutional ban an entire race of people (Muslims) from entering the U.S, because he assumes that all Muslims are terrorists. In other words, he is committed to this unjustified action because he is arrogantly trying to cover up the fact that he does not know the difference between the majority of Muslims who practice the peaceful religion of Islam and a small minority of politically motivated radical extremists who kill their own kind. Amid all the islamophobic hysteria, the United States is trying to deal with an unprecedented number of Syrian refugees coming into the country, who are trying to escape the Syrian Civil War. Although we are called upon to act, our political parties are very polarized; some do not believe that the United States should play much of a role in helping refugees directly or indirectly. Congress is extremely divided on this issue of whether to assist Syrian refugees. The only way to solve this humanitarian crisis is if Western nations and the world come together regardless of their differences. One approach to ending this crisis would be to create solutions through a worldwide collaboration of countries sponsored by the United Nations. However, in order to find solutions to the address the social barriers faced by Syrian refugees, Islamophobia must be overcome. Even though Islamophobia is not the direct cause of the crisis, it is still a strong barrier to finding solutions to this social problem.
In order to understand the severity and the extent of this humanitarian crisis, we need to create a context in which people can study the history of Syria. This allows people to discover what factors led to the Syrian refugee crisis. As a result, people need to analyze the roots of the Syrian refugee crisis, because Syrian refugees are a result of the Syrian civil war. There are many causes of the Syrian civil war, which was inspired by the revolutions in Tunisia, Egypt, and Libya (the Arab Spring in 2011). Similar to the nations that were part of the Arab Spring, many Syrians wanted to overthrow the dictatorial Assad regime due to the lack of freedoms and economic woes which fueled public anger and resentment of the Syrian government. Conflict began with antigovernmental protests that divided Syrian citizens into two groups. One group remained loyal to their President Bashar al-Assad, while the other group opposed Assad’s regime and fought for democracy in Syria (BBC News 2016). However, the conflict escalated to a civil war when peaceful protests for Assad to resign turned violent during an incident where 15 boys were detained and tortured for having written graffiti in support of the Arab Spring. One of the boys, 13-year-old Hamza al-Khateeb, was killed after having been brutally tortured ("Syria's Civil War Explained", 2016). President Assad responded to the protests by killing hundreds of demonstrators and imprisoning many more. In July 2011, military officials formed a rebel group, named the Free Syrian Army, which called to overthrow the government; this eventually morphed into a full scale civil war. ("Syria's Civil War Explained", 2016).
The Fighting between the two groups finally escalated to the capital of Syria, Damascus and the financial district of Aleppo in 2012. “According to the United Nations In June 2013, the Syrian civil war had killed 90,000 people.” (BBC News 2016). In addition, the United Nations also reports that by August 2015, that figure had climbed to 250,000.” (BBC News 2016). At that point in time, the United Nations declared The Independent International Commission of Inquiry on the Syrian Arab Republic (BBC News 2016). This is because the United Nations found evidence that all parties involved in the Syrian civil war committed war crimes. These crimes included “murder, torture, rape and enforced disappearances” (BBC News 2016). The United Nations has also accused both parties involved in the Syrian civil war of causing civilian suffering – “such as blocking access to food, water and health services through sieges - as a method of war.” (BBC News 2016). In August 2013 the United Nations discovered that Syria had chemical weapons, after an incident in which hundreds of people were killed, after rockets filled with the nerve agent sarin were fired at several suburbs of Damascus (BBC News 2016).Western powers said it could only have been carried out by Syria's government, but the gov
