9/11 Effects

On September 11, 2001 a terrorist attack occurred that had a huge impact on the world. The terrorist attack was an aircraft hijacking and suicide attack by a Islamic terrorist group called al-Qaeda on the United State’s twin towers. Many people just think it was an act of terrorism but I think that it was also an act to spread fear and chaos in order for them to gain power. Ever since this incident occurred, there has been many extreme changes but mostly on immigration, terrorism, racism, and the military. The first thing that the September 11th incident had an impact on was immigration because there was an increase in border security and the immigration system being broken caused chaos. For instance in the text it reveals, “I know America
It is starting to become a weapon that is being used more and more often by others. For instance in the text it reveals, “Obama has insisted that Islamic state is not growing stronger in Iraq and Syria. However, the group has launched attacks elsewhere in the world.” (Associated 1.) This implies that Islam is unable to gain power on its own so they resort to terrorism. This is significant because it proves that terrorism is being used more often. Another way this is illustrated is by the author describing that, “No enemy, whatever his ideology, has any hope of defeating America’s armies in the field, must resort to….terrorism and related tactics…” (Kirkorian 568). According to the author; America’s army is undefeatable in a straightforward battle so that's why terrorist attacks are used instead. This is significant because it shows why terrorism is seen more often since the 9/11
Islam is in need of help but the military is ignoring it and we are unable to see Islam problems since we are quick to judge them from what happened in the past. For instance in the text it reveals, “... the United States support about a million men and women at arms… The cost squeeze led to a new type of society, perhaps best termed a “depleted” state, in which the military has drained resources from all other social functions.” (Ehrenreich 600). This implies that the military is draining resources from other social functions just so it can maintain its might. The author also demonstrates that military is very expensive to have full of supplies. Another way this is illustrated is by the author stating that, “ Instead of seeing it for what it is- the capture of big ideas...have pontificated about Islam’s troubles.” (Said 666). This suggests that because the terrorist attack was from a group of deranged militants named al-Qaeda we automatically consider Islam our enemy and see them as terrorists. This is significant because it proves how we assume things of Islam because of the 9/11
