Muslims vs Americans

While thinking about what topic to write about for my Scapegoating essay, I thought about 9/11.  After 9/11 occurred, I think Americans started to profile Muslims. Weeks and weeks after 9/11, our whole country was under so much stress, from then to now, we blame Muslims for many of our problems. When you hear the words "terrorist attacks"," what is the first thing that pops up in your mind? For many people- it's "MUSLIMS." As a country, we profile people that don't deserve it. Guaranteed, Osama Bin Laden was Muslim and was behind 9/11, but that doesn't mean a Muslim walking through an airport means something and is going to happen. Personally, I find this so unfair and people shouldn't be so judgmental.

  1. I agree. How sad to profile or target an individual based on their religion or faith.
