=Muslim Discrimination Following the Attacks on September 11th=



The most important theme of the selection was discrimination against Muslims after September 11, 2000. Since the terrorist attacks on 9/11 many Muslim civilians have been discriminated. They have been suspected of planning or conducting a terrorist attack. They have also been suspected of commission of terrorist attacks. Many have been arrested. In those arrests they have been treated badly. Not only American Muslims have been discriminated, but also British Muslims and in other nations that muslims live have suffered the discrimination.

In this account a muslin man in The U.K. is sleeping peacefully in hishouse. When all of a sudden he hears a bang down stairs so he wakes up.Then policeman enter his room and grab him and put him face down. They then started to hit him all over his body. After minutes of being beaten, one of the officers asks him his name. He tells them his name and the policeman tell him that he is under arrest for being suspected of terrorists attack in 2000. Then they handcuff his hands and take him downstairs in the livingroom were he prays and is beaten more. When they are transporting him to the police station, he is put inside a van., where he is beaten up more. At the police station he is medical check by the police station doctor. He is not happy with medical check because the doctor only took 30 minutes checking him. Then he told his lawyer that he wants a private doctor to check him. The private doctor checks him for more than 2 hours. He was set free because he was declared innocents of all charges. Now he believes that you cannot be muslin and British at the same time. He now feels ashamed of what his country's police did to him.

Before 9/11 the world was a different place. We didn’t think that the Muslim people were bad people. People discriminated different people, like the Hispanics or other people. When Muslim terrorist attacked The Twin Towers in New York, The pentagon, and flight 93, they were also different countries that were attack on 9/11 or after. Since then political official and civilians had some sort discriminate against Muslim. When Muslim aboard a train or an airplane they are been check more threw than other have. When they are in the public they are looked badly, like if they were all bad people. When you get to know a Muslim you notiice that they are all different. They are nice people, not like how the media or other people betray them.
