September 24, 2001 Terrorism Throughout history there have been much devastation, which have had a lasting impact on the world, as we know it today. There has not been such devastation such as the hijacking of American flight 11 and United Flight 175, which hit the world trade center, and the American flight 77, which hit the Pentagon on September 11th 2001. Such a terrorist to inflect pain on a large mass of citizens is accomplished for many reasons. One religion, Islam, was used in the reasoning of the terror attack in New York City.

These people (Muslims) have been American citizens from birth and have lived in the country as long as any other American citizen. I believe that these people have as much love as for America as anybody else living in this country. "We are saying to Americans, we are living here, we have our families and our kids", said Samy Massoud, the imam. To prevent violence to these types of communities there have been police guard local mosques. This act of terrorism is a "Human rights Violation by Taliban against their own people", stated by George Bush. This act of terrorism will have a lasting impact on the way we view and interact with one another.

Just because we don't understand a religion or even a individual we as Americans do not have the right to punish someone because of there appearance, name, or religious belief. The one's that were involved in the terrorist attack on September 11, 2001 were "not True Muslims", as stated by George Bush. I believe that this will not be a holy war but a war of terrorism..
