9/11 and The Views of The Muslim and American Cultures as a Result

9/11 and It's Effects

On September 11th, 2001, 8:45 AM the North Tower of the World Trade Center was struck, eighteen minutes later the South Tower was hit.  Americans were horrified during and through the aftermath of these unforgettable events. These events changed how we as Americans view ourselves and Muslims as a whole.  The American population was ready for any change necessary to prevent events like the 9/11 attacks from ever happening again.  We completely modified our entire "American Culture" in the process.  Now, nothing can ever be too safe, a prime example of this is airport security.  Americans are slowly growing used to the many restrictions put on themselves, and how to deal with them.  

Before the 9/11 terror attacks, I had no clue what the Muslim culture was or what they believed in but, I knew they were bad.  Unfortunately for my small 3 year old brain I now know that I was completely and absolutely wrong. The Muslim culture is very diverse and the group that attacked the World Trade Center was a very small group of Muslim extremists which unfortunately gave the rest of the Muslim population a bad name.
