Post-9/11 American Culture

This is a rough shorthand essay on the similarities about the Red Scare & the Post 9/11 American attitude towards people of Arabic descent and just religious Muslims in General. With the Red Scare, it was Communism and with 9/11 it was Muslims and basically all Middle Easterners.

September 11, 2001 is a day that no American will ever forget, a day that left a huge impact on the lives of many Americans, a day that has changed America and the world forever. On this day, known as 9/11, America had suffered its first attack on

Are there any similarities between the treatment of German Americans during WWI and the treatment of Islamic Americans and Arab Americans after 9/11?

The events of September 11, in the year 2001 would change the United States from the inside out. On that date, a series of brutal attacks were lead against the United States.

9/11 was an attack on the World Trade Centers in New York City, New York, and at the Pentagon in Washington, DC. Before the disastrous day of September 11, 2001 there was another attack made on the World Trade Centers, the first was a car bomb which was set off on February 26, 1993 at 12:18p.m.. The second attack on the towers happened on September 11,2001, which resulted in the twin towers collapsing onto the ground. Rod Dreher, wrote his view on what it looked like from across the Hudson River, in his story ‘Life Before 9/11’.The World Trade Centers were attacked by two planes, the Pentagon by one, and the final fourth plane crashed in rural pennsylvania. The planes wreaked havoc on the country that day. Survivors of the World Trade Centers made their way to Battery Park, escaping the cloud of smoke and debris. In the park people were speculating terrorism was the reason of these terrible acts, which was later they found out to be true. After the attacks they began clean up at all the sites. Al Qaeda and Osama Bin Laden was later blamed for the attacks. This lead to the Department of Homeland Security in the United States of America. The attacks on America lead to war on terror in Afghanistan. In 2003 there was a memorial service

11 destroyed the lives of many, generated a tremendous economic deficit and caused mass hysteria among all Americans for years to come. On September 11, 2001, 19 radicals with the Al-Qaeda terrorist group hijacked four commercial airplanes and carried out suicide attacks on what is known today as the worst terrorist attack on the United States. This heinous act of war killed 2,996 people including civilians, firefighters, police officers and paramedics; surpassing the death toll of the attack on Pearl Harbor in December 1941.

Al Qaeda hijacked four airplanes and executed suicide attacks on four sites in the United States of America. The first two of the airplanes were flown into the Twin Towers in New York City, another hit the Pentagon in Washington DC and the last plane crashed into a field in Pennsylvania, but could have been headed towards the White House or United States capital building. Thousands of people died and these terrorists’ attacks changed America’s fabric forever.

September 11, 2001, is a date that will forever be remembered not because of the terrorists that attacked America, but for the patriots who sacrificed their lives to save hundreds of innocent people. 9/11 is an attack by Islamic hijackers. The main strike is on the World Trade Centers. There were four planes included in the invasions. They included: Flight 93, Flight 11, Flight 175, and Flight 77.

The September 11 attacks (also referred to as 9/11) were a series of four coordinated terrorist attacks by the Islamic terrorist group al-Qaeda on the United States on the morning of Tuesday, September 11, 2001. The attacks killed 2,996 people, injured over 6,000 others, and caused at least $10 billion in property and infrastructure damage and $3 trillion in total costs.

September 11th 2001 9:03AM, the United States of America was under attack. On this day many hijackers took control of four commercial passenger jets flying out of airports throughout the east coast of the United States.” For those who don’t know 4 planes had been flown, two to the Twin Towers, one hitting the Pentagon and the last one which was taken over by passengers crashing in Pennsylvania. These places that had been hit were a representation of America’s power and pride. Not only had these buildings been destroyed but America was too. On the day 9/11 nearly 3,000 lives had been lost including the hijackers. It was the worst loss of life due to a terrorist incident in the US.

September 11th, 2001 is the date of arguably one of the worst attacks in US history. On September 11th, 2001 three flights full of people were hijacked by members of the terrorist group known as Al-Qaeda.

The third flight aka flight 93 was overtaken by the passengers and was landed safely in

Yet on September 11th 2001 the “day the earth stood still” (Zinn,2003) the World changed. The terrorists attack in the American heartland ended the most peaceful decade in US history and ushered in a new age of global warfare. The “ three block war”( Bolger, 2014, p 22) has drastically altered the focus of US foreign policy and Americas own ideology. The though process behind this can be seen with Bush Jr statement post 9-11 “A great people has been moved to defend a great nation” once again the US were at a crossroads a “clash of civilisations”( Huntington ( 1997). The United states can from 9-11 be seen to embark on a campaign of total war against Islamic terrorism and militant Islam (Schmitt and Ulmen, 1969). This can be seen to be the

September 11, 2001, a devastating day for many Americans across the nation, left many innocent people injured and dead. This was the day the Twin Towers collapsed due to a terrorist attack. “The attackers were Islamic terrorists from Saudi Arabia and several other Arab nations. Reportedly financed by Saudi fugitive Osama bin Laden’s al-Qaeda terrorist organization” (History.com) The terrorist hijacked four American Airlines so they could crash them into the World Trade Center. The Twin Towers stood as symbols of American wealth and success. (The Day That Changed America, p. 19) Al-Qaeda believed if they could surprise attack the U.S. they would weaken our country and frighten the rest of us, but this act of terror strengthened all to stick together and not let them believe the terrorist have won. More than 3,000 people died while inside the towers. Some had no faith in getting alive so many began to jump so they didn’t have to panic and die a slow painful death. Millions across the country witnessed both towers collapse in New York and on the news, it was almost everywhere.
