September 11, 2001 completely changed not only the United States, but the entire world as we know it. On that very day 19 militants associated with the terrorist group al-Qaeda hijacked four airplanes and carried out suicidal missions upon the targets on U.S. soil. Two of the planes crashed into the World Trade Center, the third plane hit the Pentagon, and the fourth plane crashed into a field in Pennsylvania. As recorded over 3,000 people were killed during this onslaught including more than 400 police officers and firefighters. The word “terrorism” permanently became the part of the dictionary.
Certain Islamic terrorist cells, most notably, Al Qaeda, think of religious goals in political terms. Because of the environment in which they live (Shari ’ah Law and the indoctrination of the Muslim faith to all in the Middle East) religion and politics go hand in hand. While religious terrorism is the most
Remembering September 11, 2001 By Mara Miller On September 11, 2001, terrorists hijacked four U.S. airliners: two destroyed the Twin Towers in New York City, one damaged the Pentagon, and one crashed in a field in Pennsylvania. This book traces the events of that day, gives the historical background, and outlines the steps taken in response so that readers will gain understanding of the horrific attacks and their consequences. A generation of children has been born since the World Trade Center Towers and the Pentagon were destroyed, and Flight 93 crashed in Pennsylvania. Nearly a decade has passed since “9/11,” but America is still reacting to the events of that day. In the immediate aftermath, a spate of juvenile books were immediately
The United States was under a terrorist attack. On that Tuesday morning, 19 terrorists from the Islamist militant group al-Qaeda hijacked four passenger jets. Members of Al-Qaeda planned attacks upon the United States in New York City and the Washington, D.C. areas. The hijackers intentionally flew two of those planes, which were the American Airlines Flight 11 and United Airlines Flight 175 into the North and South towers of the World Trade Center that was located in New York City. Both towers collapsed within two hours and debris from the two towers
The dreaded day we all know as “9/11” was heart-rending and painful for many Americans all because of an inhumane and merciless act by a gang of jealous and loathing group of terrorists known as “Al-Queda”. On this day, 19 Al-Qaeda terrorists hijacked 4 planes and intentionally flew two of them into the twin towers of the World Trade Center in New York City. This act killed everyone on board, in the buildings and took down both towers. September 9, 2010, the proposed construction of building a “ground zero mosque” at park 51 has stirred controversy throughout the United States. Many Americans oppose the construction of the mosque next to ground zero because they see this as the terrorists gaining victory over the U.S. and building a mosque
9/11 Report Stephanie Parris Everest University July 18, 2012 On September 11th, 2001 the United States was shaken to the core. Two terrorist hijacked planes crashed into the World Trade Center killing and injuring thousands of people. Another plane was hijacked and hit the Pentagon. Since then, the 9/11 Commission has issued report on the events, the short comings of security, and future recommendations to prevent such acts from reoccurring. Islamic terrorism had continued to grow, and Islamic terrorists had provided warning to the US that they would be attacking great numbers of people within the US.
On September 11, 2001, The United States of America and the whole world witnessed the most extreme terrorist incident ever committed on U.S. soil. It was perpetrated by Muslim extremists using commercial airliners as projectiles of destruction. The attacks on September 11, 2001 left nearly three thousand people dead. Following the attacks there was much speculation as to why these attacks were not prevented from happening. In the months following the attacks, President Bush assigned Attorney General Ashcroft the task of producing legislation to assist the U.S. intelligence and law enforcement community to prevent such of an atrocity from occurring again.
There are more misconceptions around Islam then there is understanding. There is the aspect of the direct text of Islam, the practice/teaching, and the “implementation” of it, which all plays into societies views on a major world religion. I chose this topic because there are serious misunderstandings around Islam and its teachings versus its practice. People tend to associate the “context/text/faith” with situations that have occurred and the faith of those involved. It is one of the only religions that faces a lot of scrutiny publicly because of it s “seen” association with terrorism and other related world events.
Relativism and Multiculturalism Dionne Perry Ashford University Relativism and Multiculturalism The world perception around cultural and religious beliefs regarding the Muslim faith and the war on terrorism is a vastly controversial within today’s society, government policies and non-Muslims. Throughout the Media since 9/11 when Islamic Terrorist attacked the World Trade center, and Pentagon by using American Airliners Flight 11, United Airlines flight 175 both Boeing 757 aircraft’s to set a course of destruction on the North and South World Trade towers. A third plane American Airlines 77 crashed into the Pentagon headquarters, and the fourth plane United Airlines flight 93 was steered towards Washington D.C. was crashed into a field near Shanksville, PA when a group of passenger heroically tried to overcome the hijackers. A total of 2,996 people died that day all due to the false conception of faith, religion, culture, and human life dignity these terrorist had for non-Muslims and fellow American’s. By studying different forms of theories regarding cultural and religious acceptance such as Neoconservatism, Multiculturalism and Relativism we would be able to define and learn to accept as well tolerate other societies, culture, and religious beliefs to coexist harmoniously.
Islam is the fastest growing Religion in today Islam is monotheistic religion as well as the most complicated religion whereas salvation is dealing with the good works and submission to God, but it is not sure yet and it depends on God’s judgment on final day. However, Islam is the second largest religion also the fastest growing religion in the world today. According to Corduan’s statement the estimate membership in worldwide about 1.5 billion, only in the Unite States 7 million Islam is said to be the nation's fastest-growing religion. Islam in the United States has about 1,209 mosques, according to the research. It is true that Islam is the fastest growing religion today because Islam is spreading all over the world through immigration, high birth rates, and the power of political and economic.
