9/11: A New Wave Of Islamophobia
Ten years ago no one had heard of Islamophobia, today the fear spreads like cancer. A phobia widespread, filled with mayhem, poisonous rhetoric, and cruelty .
9/11 was the catalyst for a new wave of Islamophobia. People seem to forget that Muslims were also victims on that day. Terrorists did not spare those who’s religion they claimed their own.Cultural and religious acceptance was put on the back burner.
There has always been the need for an enemy, otherwise the good guys wouldn’t see any publicity. When Iraq was invaded, in search of weapons of mass destruction, it was another prime example of the Western world attempting to pin the label of terrorism on the Middle East.

He committed the crime alone nobody questioned his people. When Adam Lanza shot a classroom full of 1st graders nobody asked him to leave the country. When Timothy McVeigh killed 168 people in Oklahoma nobody called this a crime against every American. We don't label all white men based on the sins of a few - do the KKK or IRA represent Christianity Or are the murders of Rohingya based on Buddhist philosophy? Obviously not and neither is that the headline. Didn’t we fight 2 world wars for people to be free, from fascism, from the inequities of racial supremacy? Therefore we should not condemn all Muslims for the radicalism of a misguided few.
ISIS is terrorism, i’m sure everybody agrees. What ISIS does in the name of Islam, does not portray all, or even the majority of Muslims . I will never defend ISIS’s actions because they are indefensible. They have manipulated something so wonderful, for their own political schemes. When ISIS burns people alive, the whole world should feel guilt. But for some reason when White Americans burned black people alive; it almost turned into a national
