Abstract

Since the tragic events of September 11, 2001, the words "Muslim" and "islam" have become synonymous with the feared word "terrorism." As Americans learned that the enemy was factions of Muslim extremists operating in the Middle East and that they were driven to attack by a deep loathing for America and other countries of the Western world, we quickly began to associate the entire islam religion with these groups of seemingly irrational people. Due to our resentment and hostility toward the enemy as a result of September 11, we failed to realize that the islam religion is separated between the extremists and the rest of the Muslims, who are temperate moderates who do not support them and even welcome Western influence. It is crucial for Americans as well as all Westerners to both recognize and understand who the true enemy is, and that it is not everyone of islam. The enemy is these radical groups of Muslim extremists who are absolutely separated from the rest of the Muslim world, and have in fact terrorized Muslims in the Middle East long before America was victimized on September 11.
