From that day, western attitudes have tended to stereotype Arab and Muslim people, states, and nation, led by the US, have perpetrated a controversial war on terror.

The terror attack on September 11th 2001 is the most comprehensive terror attack in the U.S history, both in terms of material damage and number of death falls. There were four terrorist attacks by an Islamic terrorist group in the morning on September 11th. They hijacked four passenger airlines and carried out suicide attacks against targets in the U.S. Two planes crashed in the World Trade Center in New York, one in the Pentagon and one in Pennsylvania.

September, 11th, 2001, a day which shook the lives of Americans in a way that was unimaginable. A terrorist attack in the middle of the day in a metropolis city was a feeling that many people in America had never experienced. The attack was carried out by terrorists who hijacked 4 planes, then flew 2 planes into the World Trade Centre, another hit the Pentagon and the last plane crashed into a field in Pennsylvania. The feeling of loss, accompanied with sadness as well as anger was enough to trigger all kinds of thoughts into people’s hearts.

Immediately after the attacks, Americans were struggling to live

The World Trade Center (WTC) represented American pride and influnce. The twin towers stood 1,352 feet with 110 stories. It was finished in 1971. The morning of September 11 no one knew that four flights would be hijacked to take American lives and using two of them to bring down the World Trade Center.

On September 11th, 2001, terrorism reached American soil; attacks were specifically made on Lower Manhattan, causing the destruction of every World Trade Center associated building. The attack to this day has still instilled fear of terrorism in our society, and is an event New Yorkers will never forget. Dating back to July 4th, 1776, the Declaration of Independence was signed in the United States, declaring the thirteen colonies free from Great Britain. It is no coincidence that the new 1 WTC, previously known as the Freedom Tower, reaches its maximum height of 1,776 feet. The name “Freedom Tower” was originally used to symbolize America as a nation to rise above the attacks on the original towers. Architectures strategically planned out its symbolic height to match up with its specific chosen name of the building. However, the owners decided to change the building name back to One World Trade Center due to the fact that the building was going to be used as an office building and not for marketing. Nonetheless, many people still refer to 1 WTC as the Freedom Tower. Fast forward ten years later from the attack, on September 11th, 2011, the 9/11 Memorial officially opened for public use. The 9/11 Memorial has not only been one of New York’s biggest tourist destinations that attracts crowds of thousands on a daily basis, but it has also acted as an area that brings back many memories and emotions for those with any association of that day. With the history of the memorial and

In just six years al Qaeda, Arabic for “the base”, and also the network of Osama bin Ladin, had devolved from a regional threat to U.S. troops to a global threat. Al Qaeda was the group accused by President George Bush who performed the terrorist attacks in 2001. Bin Ladin had expanded this network by assembling a coalition of radical Islamic groups of varying nationalities to work toward common goals. . (“War on Terrorism”) In order to assist its growth, al Qaeda now includes members of factions of several major militant organizations such as Egypt’s Islamic Al-Jihad. Bin Ladin had been indicted by a U.S. court several times as his network is connected to many acts of terrorism. The Taliban, another radical group who ran much of Afghanistan is often compared to the al Qaeda. Since 1998 the Taliban group has been trying to disconnect themselves from al Qaeda. Contradictory, Taliban officials have denied persistent requests from the United States to take down bin Ladin by claiming that there is an inadequate amount of evidence to prove that he has been involved in anti-American terror acts (“War on Terrorism”).
