With every light that shines the will always be a shadow threatening to take over. On February 23, 1993, the Towers fell under attack for the first time. A rented van was parked with hydrogen canisters in the back was parked in the garage two floors down about six feet from the south wall of the north tower, at 12:18 the bomb exploded (World Trade Center - Anatomy of the Collapse). This explosion killed six, and injured 1,000, 5,00 were evacuated because of smoke inhalation. The explosion left a 60 by 60-foot crater, and cause 500 million dollars in damage (History.com Staff).

On September 11, 2001, the terror attacks that struck upon the American people etched a wound so deep that will take years to repair. The whole world watched and mourned as 2,977 innocent lives were taken mercilessly away by the clutches of vile people. The group responsible for these attacks had malicious intent and animosity toward the people of the free world. They took their accumulated hatred and attacked the American people. The way the American people responded was not what the terrorist group had expected.Instead of cowering in fear from the attacks as presumed, the American people began to display more patriotism and exhibit a sense of unity. While 9/11 is a day we remember the innocent lives lost to terrorism and the new sense of togetherness it founded, it is also a day that birth the term Islamophobia and gave rise to mistaken-identity hate crimes.
Those who follow Islam are called Muslim. Muslims believe that there is only one God. The Arabic word for God is Allah.” There is really no difference between there and Christianity or Catholicism, they all believe in one god and two of them believe that their messiahs have already come and spread the word of their gods. There are instances were people commit terrorist attacks on citizens or people that they have personal issues with and claiming to be apart of a terrorist organization like ISIS. For example there was a shooting recently in Orlando Florida where the culprit targeted homosexual, killing 49 people and wounded 53 others. At first people who heard about it assumed that there was a connection with ISIS and later found out that it was indeed a hate crime. This happened because this specific terrorist group is relevant. The experience of these bullies is effecting the entire Islamic culture. Muslim citizens all over the world are now fearful of freely expressing their traditions, because they're worried that they will be shunned and hated for there “resemblance” the these different terrorist organizations.

The face of Islam in western society has changed in light of the recent Paris attacks on November 13, 2015. Muslims in Canada are effectively trying to distance themselves from the extremist group associated with the Paris attacks. Due to the prejudice response to the attacks, Muslim Canadians are speaking up against the extremist group ISIS as written in the article by Sheema Khan in the national newsprint ‘The Globe and Mail’. The title of this article is “In the fight against terrorism, Muslims must own their message”, The Globe and Mail, 18 November 2015 (http://bit.ly/1lNjmYr).
The 9/11 attack by a group of Muslim Extremist have placed all muslims in a situation where bombs and terrorism is the first thing thought of when seen. The entire group is not responsible for the horror that happened that day but they are all blamed. Syria, a country dominated by Islam, is in trouble and seeks help from America but are not given because of their anxiety they developed about Muslims. The country is making it difficult for Syrian refugees to enter the country because they are concerned about what these people will do upon arrival. Not all Muslims are terrorists. Most will not think like such but will rather question every “suspicious” move any member of Islam makes. A prime example of such is Ahmed Mohamed. Ahmed is a 14 year old boy from Texas who was arrested for bringing in a clock he made at home which was mistaken for a bomb. This assumption was made because the boy is
