Being Muslim In American after 9/11

The world has changed dramatically since September 11, 2001, for everyone who lives in this country.

Maybe no group was more long term affected by the attacks than American's of Muslim faith.  Although we like to think that all Muslims live in the middle east, between 2.5 and 7 million American citizens practice the Islamic faith.

These people were, and in many cases, still are, the focus of hate and attacks by "Americans" who think that Muslim terrorist groups represent the attitudes and beliefs of all Muslims.

Attached to this entry is short reading from the Los Angeles Times which includes several excerpts from other articles about how Muslim's in the US have been affected over the last 10 years.

Chose one of the excerpts and discuss why that one had the greatest impact on you and be sure to use the reading to support your thoughts.

Then, respond to another persons post as to what they thought.  both your original entry and response is due no later than Friday, September 30.
