Hi my name is Tanya. This blog is an assignment from my English
101. I was given a graph called "Anti-Islamic Hate Crime Incidents 1995-2008". This
graph shows the amount of hate crimes for each year between 1995 and 2008. In the
years 1995 to 2000 the amount of hate crimes was a range from 21 to 52. In the
year 2001 the amount of Anti-Islamic hates crimes was 481 making it the highest
on the chart. From 2002 to 2008 the amount decreased. It ranged from 155 to
105. This graph shows how significant
the events of 9/11 were to the Islamic people. After 9/11 many people labeled Muslims
as terrorist because the people responsible for the attack were from the Middle
East. This graph is important because it proves that anybody can be attacked
and discriminated based on their religion or culture after on event. If it was an African American who attacked the
twin towers the whole African American race would be labeled as terrorist. The same
thing is true for Caucasians. I think
this should concern everyone. No race or culture is safe from the possibility of
being labeled a terrorist or an enemy of the United States.
