Reading Journal10- To Any Would-Be Terrorists

Summary: After 9/11, Arabs have been named as terrorists, due to the tragedy in the World Trade Center. However, the author and her parents is trying so hard to change the perception of Americans towards the Arabs. The reality is, Arabs have so many good people but they all all accused to be terrorist. The author is trying to send a message to the terrorist that they have ruined the name of the Arabs and ask them not to do it anymore. We should not suppose to watch the terrrible movies and Tv shows that made by american anymore because it is wrong. Not all Arabs are bad, not all Muslims are evil. Islam is a welcoming religion. Therefore, the author urged people stop using that word and she hopes that one day, "terrorists" will be dissapeared from the Arabs.

Opinion: In my opinion, 9/11 is a tragedy and Arabs-Americans are having a tough life in the United States. They are all being seen as a terrorists even though they are good people. It is so close that, the Muslim East and the West will be peaceful again but it just started like the history of the ward of jerusalem after 9/11. I felt so sorry to the Arabs Americans because they are named as terroists. It is not a pleasant word, therfore, I hope that we will work together to create a better place in this earth. Racist will not happen in the future, if we start living peace together.

Am I supposed to comment on it?

Well, racism occurs everywhere, even here in India. It isn't just about Arabians and Americans, but also other races. It is inevitable, and though we, humans are advised to learn not to be racists, yet I doubt that there are 10 people who truly aren't racists in this world. Anything whichever happened around us, we can relate them to something. Anyway, dear, you have got many grammar mistakes in your summaries (:

Well aren't you just rude :)
Go comment somewhere else!

I think the paragraph explained a lot about the struggles Arabians face because of the terrorist attacks. Thanks for sharing!
