September 11th 2001 Osama Bin Laden
Islam is a very unique and controversial religion in modern society because of terrorism and many other reasons. On September 11th, 2001 Osama Bin Laden lead on of the most vicious acts of terrorism America has ever seen. Bin Laden justified his actions in a letter to America stating “The US attacked us in Somalia; The US supported the Russian atrocities against us in Chechnya, the Indian oppression against us in Kashmir, and the Jewish aggression against us in Lebanon.” This shows that Bin Laden and his group believe the US is to blame for all the wrongdoings to their country. It also shows they believe in the eye for an eye philosophy which directly contradicts The Quran “The judge can order punishments by legal ordinance according to human

    AL Qaeda is defined as a broad-based militant Islamist organization, and is considered to be- by the majority of society- the primary culprit of the 9/11 terror attacks. By inspecting Al Qaedas’ philosophy at its roots, its writings, and development, we can conclude that their approach can only be pronounced as destructive, not constructive. Al Qaeda interprets the Quran falsely, basing their ideology on principals such as the war they feel all Muslims must wage with ‘others’, regardless of whether the ‘others’ are fighters or peaceful civilians. Verse 16:82 of the Quran conveys the concept of tolerance and peace, stating: “But if they turn away from you, your only duty is a clear delivery of the Message”. This portrays the way in which Al Qaeda manipulates the Quran to justify their actions of terror- regarding their ‘duty’ as an act of violence rather than peace.…

    To those outside of the Islamic faith many facts of Islam are a mystery. Within the last decade the religion of Islam has received bad publicity due to the actions of terrorists and Muslim extremists groups. Their actions have created a popular belief that Islam is a cult and Muslim people are hate filled militants that are mainly from one region. The history and practice of Islam is based from a set of beliefs that focus on good will and peace and belief in one God. Muslims all around the world follow these original beliefs however variations in Islam practice and beliefs can also be found depending on region. Islam,…

    Effects on 9/11

    After the bombing of the World Trade Center on September 11th, 2001, I think that the lives of Islamic Americans has been very tough. They got stereotyped as to pledging the same religion that Al-Qaeda use to justify/rationalize their crimes. That’s an unfortunate fact. Every time I see an Islamic women walking down the street wearing a hijab or culture clothing, I see that they always get funny looks or people just assumed they are terrorist. They have been singled out by airport security officers and that people had acted suspicious of them or called them offensive names. On that day, people grew hatred in their hearts against Muslims because they see them in the same way they saw the terrorists who committed that evil. Muslims have been ridiculed, told to "go back home" (even Muslims whose home is right here), been spat on, abused, beaten, murdered, and raped because they were associated with the terrorists simply because we they Muslim (even Sikhs who were mistaken for being Muslims were mistreated and murdered).…

    Osama Bin Laden Thesis

    • 833 Words
    • 4 Pages

    On 9/11 many things changed, and our society was the main thing. Many of our everyday lives were changed because of one event that affected millions. Osama bin Laden did not just change the US with new types of security, he unified our country and made us realize how important staying together as a country was. His objective was to destroy the United States spiritually, physically and economically , but it had the opposite effect in some of those categories. He definitely underestimated the American spirit. Economically, we still haven’t recovered completely, no one has, but physically and spiritually we, as a country, came back stronger than ever, with renewed patriotism. One bad effect from the 9/11 attacks were stereotyping. Many people have stereotyped all muslims as terrorist and this is one of the most long lasting effects. Many muslims have to go through everyday life with being called cruel names like terrorist, when they have nothing to with the attacks on September 11th. The real people to blame are the ones involved with Al-Qaida and their leader, Osama bin Laden. Not only was there a bad effect on the US, but he presented his own religion to uneducated people, as religion filled with hate, when this is not the case. In conclusion, Osama bin Laden, in the end, didn’t only contribute something bad to our society, but he contributed something bad to his own society…

    The attacks on America on September 11th, 2001 killed “almost 3,000 people” according to theguarden.com. The attacks include the Twin Towers, the Pentagon, and the naked field in a rural area in Pennsylvania. After 16 years of mourning, the evidence of the day of September 11th, 2001 still does not add up. Families have been fed lies so the government can cover up their disturbing secrets on the 9/11 attacks. The government has put the blame on Osama Bin Laden’s al-Qaeda terrorist organization. The amount of evidence that has been covered by the government is phenomenal. Here are a few of many pieces of evidence that sources have dug up.…

    Why Islam Hate Us Analysis

    These extremists resent American democracy, as well as how Americans loyally support their government system which has been “leading a war against Islam and Muslims”. In most cases, these extremist use their religion to support their acts against Americans, because the Quran encourages intolerance and violence. An example of such intolerance is how in the Quran it states that homosexuals should be put to death which is why when they perform these acts they quote verses from the Quran. Another example of this intolerance is in the Quran when it states, “Don't bother warning the disbelievers. Allah has made it impossible for them to believe so that he can torture them forever after they die”, which is the opposite of the Christian belief of spreading the gospel to…

    Recently, it has been approved by a community board that a mosque will be constructed by the American Society for Muslim Advancement two blocks from the site of the once prominent World Trade Towers in New York. All over the country, there has been exceptional protest against the building of the mosque. Andrea Peyser writes, “There are many questions about the mosque. But just one answer: move it away,” (Peyser). Ever since the tragedy of 9/11, nearly all Americans have gained the understanding that Muslims are harmful to the United States; however, Americans have failed to draw the distinction between Islamic extremists that caused this terrorist attack and simple followers of Islam.…
