9/11 was about coming together after a tragedy as all Americans

[reymega life]

not scapegoating like blaming jews for something islamic extremists did because they were on those planes and most have a hatred for the west, 9/11 was about coming together as all Americans under the flag and it was about mourning and its clearly obvious that the young people don't understand this.

1. You don't remember the rounding up of Muslims and monitoring of Mosques?

Your post reads like a fairy tale.

For Many American Muslims, The Legacy Of 9/11 Lies In The Battle For Civil Rights

In the weeks after the attacks, some 1,200 people, mostly Muslims, were rounded up. Some were held without charges for months. Many were deported on largely minor immigration violations. And Malik was getting questions from friends about Islam, about Afghanistan and about the drumbeat for war.

5. I guess you don't remember all the attacks on ordinary Muslim-Americans

or people who were believed to be Muslims in the aftermath of 9/11. It began almost immediately, committed by the same sort of redneck assholes who are targeting synagogues these days.

9. those rednecks are red blooded Americans who probably served in our military

who probably were Vietnam veterans or Korean War vets or desert storm veterans.

10. Do you know that for a fact?

6. You must've been too young or not aware enough

but there was a SHIT TON of hatred against Muslims. It's been awhile, but I wouldn't be surprised if there were assaults and arson.

11. well they attacked us the 19 hijackers were muslim fundamentalists

and probably still celebrate the murder of innocent Americans like the murder of innocent Israelis on 10/7.

[Marcus IM]

12. FYI, the 9/11 hijackers are dead.

Not sure how you think they could be celebrating the murder of innocent Israelis on 10/7.

I think you need more info.

7. Nope. Revisionist history

[FirstLight]

8. Got a couple issues here...

First - Agreed that the hate was definitely ALL over and there were even Allies who were messed with... anyone remember "Freedom Fries.."...?

Also..wtf are you talking about young people...? Our younger generation has been WAY more involved politically than the "youth" of 2001. Gen z will be a force to be reckoned with IMO

13. At least until Dubya decided to pursue Nation Building and Regime Changes just months later

[LeftInTX]

15. I think "coming together" lasted about a week or so.

Then, they started the profiling.

[WhiskeyGrinder]

14. Lol it was definitely not about that at all

[Autumn]

16. You must be young yourself. America scapegoated and destroyed a country that had nothing to do with 9 11

there were massive protests because watching that ridiculous lying theater at the UN made me ashamed to be an American. It was a fucking disgrace. We all knew it was bullshit and we alll gave up our freedumbs because they said to. Come together my ass.

18. Very revisionist. Alternate universe. USA PATRIOT ACT. Good times, good times.
