Embers of Hate
It's September 11th ,2001 in New York City, the first airplane collides with the Northern
Twin Tower at 8:40am and created sparks igniting the hot blue flames for prejudice groups
towards Middle Easterners. Al Qaeda terrorists were responsible for the attacks and hijackings
that day. Al Qaedas Leader, Osama Bin Laden, sat back and watched as Americans were being
slayed by these suicide attacks, knowing that he would compromise our national security
creating a sense of trepidation, and he would start war. Many Americans began to perceive
anyone who was Muslim as a terrorist. A wall of hate was built soon after the attacks. Nobody
felt safe around Muslims considering they just executed nearly 3,000 Americans.
September 11th, 2001 in a home in Charleston, West Virginia. The morning was ordinary
as Charlotte Cales finished a conference packet in her home office. The television was on when
an unexpected event took place. This was just the beginning, watching the television as people's
eyes were filling with dismay as the North World Trade Center tower was struck with a large jet
that was en route from Boston heading to Los Angeles. A freak accident was suspected during
the time of the 1st crash, but the 3 attacks occurring shortly after confirmed this was no accident.
Charlotte recalled that People of the United States lost all feelings of being safe in the United
Many Americans do not understand that just because the 19 terrorists who conducted the
attacks were part of an Extremist group, Al Qaeda, does not mean all of those who participate in
Islamic beliefs are terrorists. Islamophobia is fear, prejudiced, or hate focused to harm those with
preconceived mindsets and/or stereotypes. Since the 9-11 attacks a rise in stereotypization of the
particular group has rose in the U.S. creating havoc for those of the Middle East trying to escape
the war torn countries. Americans should not let this happen in the U.S. or anywhere in the
world. The 14th Dalai Lama made the statement of Buddhist terrorist. Muslim terrorist. That
wording is wrong. Any person wants to indulge in violence is no longer genuine Buddhist as
well as the genuine Muslim. Because in Muslim teaching that once you are involved in
bloodshed you are no longer a genuine practitioner of Islam (Danai Lama). America needs to
take advantage of this statement and realize the treatment of its immigrants is beyond okay.
In results of many events since 9-11 once again caused by extremists of the Middle
Eastern States, President Donald J. Trump issued a travel ban affecting 6 states of the Middle
East. Although this ban was for 90 consecutive days, it caused many problems throughout the
U.S. and is often considered an act of hate. This is what Al Qaeda wanted, they wanted America
to fear them for the remainder of time. Al Qaeda hates the U.S. that's a fact, Al Qaeda is not a
Islamic terrorist group, they are a terrorist group, they have committed bloodshed, therefore they
are not Islamic.I think Islam hates us (Schleifer, Theodore,Donald Trump). From President
Trumps perspective, Islamic members are monsters. It's the other way around, America is the
monster. In America hate crimes against Muslims have increased since the attacks of 9-11. Many
Mosques have have been burnt down as an act of hate towards Muslims. A Mosque is place in
which Muslims practice their religion. Lately in Sacramento California, hate crimes have been at
3
a constant speed, brick by brick, the wall of hate is being built. Outside of a Mosque, a burnt
Quran, the holy book of Islam, was found outside of the building.The Quran is very holy to
Muslims, so when they saw it out, they started to collect the pages and to get it off the ground as
a [sign] of respect, said ElKarra (CBS Sacramento). Muslims come to the United States to
escape the war torn countries, they want to live somewhere safe to raise a family, and they want
somewhere free of threats. America needs to be a safe haven for those who need to call it home,
The events of 9-11 affected everyone in the U.S. It created Prejudice thoughts among
anyone who associated with the Middle East. Why are hate crimes being made against Muslims,
Muslims has nothing to do with 9-11. Terrorist have no religion ( Danai Lama), therefore the
people who carried out the attacks of 9-11 had no religion, so why does America hold Muslims
accountable for the attacks? America must end this hate not only against Muslims, but against
everyone and everything. Since 9-11 we have once again started to become Divided States of
America instead of the United States of America just like the times of segregation in the past
U.S. history. Present day America post 9-11 is crumbling apart, cracking at the seams, if
something doesn't change America will absolutely have no future. President George W. Bush
said in response of 9-11 Terrorist attacks can shake the foundations of our biggest buildings, but
they cannot touch the foundation of America. These acts shatter steel, but they cannot dent the
steel of American resolve (9-11 Timeline). America must put out these embers of hate.
