At the same time Americans were being told that terrorist had hi-jacked each plane and took control of the planes in order for these terrible acts to have taken place. The media was used as a deception to all Americans in order for them to believe that there were actual terrorists who attacked America for an unseen reason.

Introduction The events of September 11th 2001 have cause a major alteration in the world. After 9/11 many countries throughout the world have increased security in airports and country borders, and increased security in main areas of major cities. The biggest consequence of 9/11 however was the USA’s war on terror. The war on terror was started with the objective of recognizing, finding and destroying terrorists, denying sponsorships to terrorist organizations and defending people all over the world from future terrorist attacks. However, the USA’s war on terror has had a negative effect on many countries in the world as well as their own, and their citizens by creating animosity in the international community, causing a downturn in their own economy and their major allies, and ruining their international reputation.
Religious/Race Intolerance: Islam September 11th, 2001, better known as 9/11. Who hasn’t heard of that date? This day wasn’t just an act of terrorism and horror; it was a day where viewpoints were drastically altered forever. Religions, countries, people, even including U.S. citizens, were never looked at the same again.

Ng 1 Eva Ng Parada U.S. history Period 1 May 31, 2013 Effects of 9/11 Osama bin Laden was the leader of alQaeda. He planned the terrorist attack in New York City and the Washington, D.C. area.

In 22 years Americans hear about Islamic extremists in the media. Media portrays terrorism with Islam especially after the 9/11 attack. There are frequent stereotypes about Islam and the contribution media has played a role in spreading and generalizing these stereotypes about the religion of Islam in America. Reverend Michael Graham’s words were plastered all over the media claiming Islam is a “terrorist organization” and perceiving that Islam religion is “wicked” and “evil” (Berrier, 2010). This was very controversial because he had many supporters including Fox news themselves.
Nowadays when one sees a Muslim or someone who looks like a Muslim, that person is automatically deemed as either being dangerous or a terrorist. This fact comes to tell how far the world has come to. The 9/11 attacks changed the people’s perspective upon Muslims and now the stereotype is that all Muslims are bad and that they are all terrorists looking to kill innocent Americans. The next reason as to why the attacks were a success was due to the support that al-Qaeda got from different organizations and countries. They got financial support from countries like Afghanistan, Pakistan, and Syria.
However, more recently there has been a lot of tension between patriotic Britons and Muslims which has led to a lot of anti-Islamic propaganda among the British public. One might ask what the reasons are for this media and campaign portrayal. And are they justifiable? This topic was chosen in light of the tensions building from 9/11, the London Underground Bombings and the Iraq war as well as the more recent murder of British soldier, Lee Rigby, by two Muslim extremists which led to a wave of anti-Muslim propaganda across not only Britain but around the world. Due to the controversy that could be caused by this topic sources from patriotic Britons, Muslims and the media will be used to avoid bias and create balanced and well formulated argument.
9/11 Conspiracy Theories. There is a theory that agrees with the widely accepted point that the 9/11 attacks were carried out entirely by Al-Qaeda. There is one that proves otherwise. Were the 9/11 invasions a secret plan ordered by the United States government, or were the United States truly under a terrorist attack? On September 11, 2001, four commercial flights were hijacked.
And these are attacks that people will forever remember. They were invasive and lethal and the mission that they were going for went all the way through. Because it made the people panic and made them lose their trust to be in the society and with their government. 9/11 was a terrorist
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.
