Bayoumi's Argument
On September 11, 2010, A group of mosque people wants to propose a location to build a mosque two block away from the Twin Tower, but others were against this proposal because this is too close to the Twin Tower. Because they have nightmare after the attack and also this is considering cemetery ground which is not good to build a mosque on top of it.

The connection between this piece and “Between Acceptance and Rejection” Is that there some people are anti-Muslim and others are not. Yes, This support for Bayoumi’s arguments. From my point, I don’t think the referenced source covers a different

    The legacy that the attacks on September 11 had affected the architectural world. New and more demanding building codes needed to be adhered by construction agencies. Before these attacks building codes focused more on stability and basic fire safety. The twin towers were considered safe primarily because they were heavily designed to not fall down from heavy winds and impacts from small aircrafts. Fire was even considered a minor issue because they rarely spread between floors. After the attack architects studied the attacks and came up with new building codes to enforce. People were concerned with the new building codes, they worried that stricter building codes would make it harder to create larger skyscrapers, others worried that it may…

    Many people believed that the Twin Towers would never collapse and that it was invincible due to the complexity of its structure. The North Tower was constructed in December 1970, followed shortly by the South Tower in January 1972. The complex design of the World Trade Center was conceived as an urban renewal project and were used to restore confidence and help bring a halt to the decline of lower Manhattan. The 9/11 terrorist attack was a series of four attacks on the United States on the morning of September 11, 2001. The attacks killed 2,996 people, injured over 6,000 others, and cost at least $10 billion in property damage and infrastructure. The greatest factor that contributed to the loss of life of 9/11 was the construction of the towers…

    The 9/11 attack was a tragedy in the United States. There were two planes with terrorists inside. The twin towers were unprepared as the planes flew into both of the twin towers. The outside world devastated as nearly three thousand people died. The building had toppled and the fire that burned helped the incendiaries in their mission to kill as many as possible, because the fire trapped and cornered the employees in the paramount edifice with no way to exit. This depredation would change the United States of America forever. In the rebuilding process of Ground Zero, Tower one represents healing, hope, and those that had died.…

    After 9/11 the perceptions of Muslims in America were forever changed. Seeing the violent images of the Twin Towers on the news deeply frightened people in Western society. As result, fear and anger were directed towards innocent Muslims. In a growing society where many are no longer afraid to speak their beliefs, prejudice occurs in almost every aspect of life. Prejudice is defined as “an unjustified or incorrect attitude towards an individual based solely on the individual’s membership of a social group” (McLeod). In the United States, people of the Muslim faith frequently experience prejudice and racial inequality. Vincent Parrillo outlines negative sociological understanding and how the effects of our culture influence the way we perceive…

    Essay on 9/11

    On September 11, 2001, an act of terrorism took place in New York City on the World Trade Center. As a result of this, many lives were lost and many people were injured. This is completely at fault of the US government. Not only were the people that were inside the World Trade Center affected, but bystanders, and even the first responders were killed, injured, or got sick. The federal government should definitely compensate the victims of the 9/11 terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center. One reason is because healthcare usage rose above expected levels in months following the attacks. Another reason is that there were a high amount of deaths by many different ways of first responders. A third reason is that it t wasn’t until June 2002 that the air quality around the site returned to normal, so many normal people just going about their day have experienced health problems since the attacks.…

    Unlike other two quotes, this quote addresses discrimination against Muslim students on an individual basis. I like Tara's choice of word "ignorant". I think in today's society, especially on a college campus in Massachusetts, direct violent acts of discrimination is very rare. However, a lot of people are very ignorant of what Muslim students are experiencing on a day to day basis. Just like what Tara mentioned, the student she was talking to clearly shows that inclusion at Boston College is sometimes just an illusion. Saying offensive words like "why are you here" or "so you're not Catholic" demonstrates that some students at Boston College still do not accept the presence of Muslim students. Even though Boston College is a Catholic University,…
