Question 1: How was your topic affected by 9/11?

Ever since the attacks on 9/11 10 years ago Muslims have been looked down upon because of the terrorists attacks that had happened that day. In the article that I found, I found that about 38 percent of Americans believe that they know a great deal about the Islamic faith and believe that most Muslims have negative thought about Americans. Although most Muslims want Americans to know more about their religion. They have created hot lines and education groups including 1-800-why-islam and Muslims for a Safe America. They are trying to show us that most Muslims are good people and mean no harm. Americans should learn more instead of creating stereotypes about Muslims.

Question 2: Explain the scope (extent), intensity (depth), and nature of the affect of 9/11 on you topic.

Ever since the attacks on 9/11, most Americans view Muslims negatively because of the stereotypes we put on them. Even through TV we view them negatively. Although the people that were the reason for the attacks were made by Muslims, doesn’t mean all Muslims think or believe the same way. We have gone so far with this stereotype that now we are not letting Islamic men and woman build a mosque near ground zero. All they can do is try to defend their selves and teach others about the Islamic faith so that others do not think of the negatively.

Question 3: How has debate on this issue made our country stronger? The debate of Muslims in America since 9/11 has made us stronger over the years. The debate has made us learn that we need to treat others for the present and not their past, especially when the people we judge are the ones that did anything wrong. Learning more and getting to know others for who they are has made us stronger.
