Ten years ago no one had heard of Islamophobia‚ today the fear spreads like cancer. A phobia widespread‚ filled with mayhem‚ poisonous rhetoric‚ and cruelty . 9/11 was the catalyst for a new wave of Islamophobia. People seem to forget that Muslims were also victims on that day. Terrorists did not spare those who’s religion they claimed their own.Cultural and religious acceptance was put on the back burner. There has always been the need for an enemy‚ otherwise the good guys wouldn’t see any publicity

activity was self explanatory. Many students participated in this activity and enjoyed it because it allowed them to express themselves about a topic that they live through but truly didn’t understand because of how young they were at the time. When 9/11 occurred I was only three years old and I didn’t realize what was going on. All I knew is something was not right that day as i saw all the adults around me put on the news and stood in shock of what they were seeing on the television. Many people

On September 11‚ 2001‚ the world changed. It was said to be a beautiful day‚ almost perfect. Then in an instant‚ a plane smashed into one of the Twin Towers.

There are many important important events in history. One of the most important to me is 9-11. That was crazy. On September 11‚ 2001‚ Osama Bin Laden was the stupid mastermind behind this attack. He had his men hijack 4 commercial planes‚ two of which crashed into the Twin Towers. The other two were planned for the Pentagon and the White House. They both failed for the Pentagon and White House. Some of the people on board of the plane put a stop to the hijackers and made them crash into a field

Eugenia Rita Lee Callie Ingram English 102 9/11: the Good‚ the Bad‚ and the Whoops Was 9/11 a big mistake? America still reels from the attack on our sense of security‚ the devastating event an abrupt betrayal of our trust in social respect. Before the act of terrorism‚ we trusted that everyone was doing what they could for the good of humankind‚ if not for the nation. With the fall of the World Trade Center came the mistrust of a religious group that gradually expanded to any random stranger on

Randy Woodford 4/17/11 Phil 308 Islam Post 9/11 When dealing with racial tensions between Americans and Muslims after such a catastrophic event such as September 11th‚ the outlook on Muslims from an American’s standpoint may forever be tarnished. Much like the way Americans viewed Japanese following the attack on Pearl Harbor‚ although the Japanese people who we may come in contact with in the U.S. had nothing to do with the attack because they are Japanese‚ after the attack was not the

September 11th era. America’s society is overflowing with bias towards Muslims‚ and the Americans are mentally and politically reconstructing after the attacks. Society is defined by the “customs‚ values [and] norms” (CSD) of the majority. Today‚ the majority of people are afraid of Muslims. It seems as the vast majority of America has based their opinions of Muslims on one event‚ the terror attacks on September 11. Considering the the past eras‚ an era must be characterized by a beginning and end ‘event’

On September 11‚ 2001‚ a tragic event occurred‚ three airplanes were hijacked‚ two out of the three crashed in the twin towers in New York. All them were hijacked by terrorists‚ the mastermind behind all this was Osama Bin Laden who was hiding in Afghanistan. Families lost loved ones over this event‚ because of this there was a man hunt of Osama. I believe that the U.S. responded inappropriately due to 9/11. The U.S responded inappropriately because they invaded Afghanistan without knowing
