After the 9/11 attacks I heard on the news that Muslims had been viciously on the streets, in stairwells?

Question

and in front of their homes. These people had done nothing wrong, they were not the terrorists.

How did that make you feel?
Where you sorry that they had to experience this backlash or did you feel that it was justified?

I could not understand how anyone could take this out on innocent victims just because they believed in a religion different than what the majority practised.

How could anyone think that this was justice for that fateful day ?

This happened in the United States!

I meant to say attacked in my question.

Answer 1

People reacted out of fear and ignorance. We tend to lump people into categories and expect all of that category to act the same. This is what racism is all about.

Answer 2

Your statement is false and defamatory.

Cite your source so that we can examine it for accuracy or lack thereof.

Actually there were remarkably few attacks on Muslims as a result of 9/11.

I have several Muslim colleagues. None of them has been attacked before or after 9/11.

You are merely spreading false and defamatory statements about United States Citizens because of your hatred of United States Citizens.

If you want to make your silly false claims, at least cite a source, even if it is some worthless propaganda sheet.

I have also noticed that in some of the words that you use, there are spelling differences unique to the British and people who have grown up in former British Colonies.

I would say that you are probably a Muslim who grew up in a former British Colony who hates the United States and you are spreading false and defamatory accusations against the United States and Citizens of the United States in support of the terrorists.

YOU KNOW THAT I AM RIGHT, DO YOU NOT?

Answer 3

I remember seeing them on TV cheering in the streets, but I don't know about the stairwells or in front of homes.

Reaction to 9/11 was actually mild considering the violence of the Islamic fascists who perpetrated the mass murders. I know all Muslims don't support this kind of violence, but their lack of outrage against the acts doesn't help their cause and makes many blame the religion itself for harboring such violence against innocent people.

Answer 4

There is nothing to justify your behaviour and posts. I've checked your cited references; they do not exist. I question your loyalties.

While the behaviour was wrong, you should understand that there are no innocent people. You should understand loyalties and to whom or what that loyalty is bestowed. Again, this does not make a wrong behaviour right. It does however make a person eager to know who really is a friend and who is not. If you don't know who your enemies are, then you are in unnecessary risk.

Answer 5

It was anger. You've never taken your anger out on anybody that didn't deserve it? Of course you have, everyone has. The majority of us feel really bad afterwards, but it happens.

Those that did that were just as extreme as the terrorists that attacked us. I feel bad for Muslims in America now, because they have to fear American's hatred of them AND they are afraid of the terrorists as well.

Answer 6

I wish it had not happened, but I didn't feel bad. I know that's not politically correct or correct in any way. But it is what it is and that's the way I still feel. 3,000 Americans were slaughtered, I don't give a rats *** if a few Muslums got their asses kicked in some hallways. By the way, I'm a Liberal Democrat.
