Countless Muslims that are living in America would certainly agree that they were and still are the target of numerous mistreatments from the people around them after that fateful day on September 11. Bias seems to play a major part in putting the effect of fear that came to many of the citizens of America after 9/11. Although it is human nature for people to repeat history, it is time to take charge of our decisions and fight for the rights of other people who do not deserve these mistreatments that we are surely giving to them. It is fear that drives many people to do atrocious things; it is that fear that drives them to keep that thing or person they fear far away from them. It is that fear that would eventually grow into hate and that detestation would be the anger that would hurt the people around us. We humans naturally fear things of the indefinite, so logically when something eventful come about and we have no authority to see or do anything about it, we resort to panic and that fear turns into hatred that will later bring devastation to many.

Many people fail to grasp the idea that it wasn’t the entire Muslim population that killed those innocent people in 9/11. So it is very much unreasonable to think that every Muslims you see walking down the street could be a prospective killer. It is sad to know that even neighbors turn against each other. After 9/11, Muslims couldn’t go anywhere without getting sneers and name-calling coming in their directions. Alas history repeats itself once more. It is a shame that people do not learn from the mistakes of the past and make better judgments today. I am sad to say that history will only continue to repeat itself. I only wonder when it will finally come to an end and when everyone will open up their eyes. Perhaps the only possible solution is to draft the people who dare to insult the Muslims.

Maybe once we start doing something drastic about the situation, maybe then people will take the situation seriously. The majority of the United States would surely oppose to the idea of drafting. Nobody want to see their loved ones die, but we most all remember that we are not the only ones suffering throughout this whole ordeal. The Muslims are very much in fact hurting after 9/11. We've never looked at the Muslims indifferently before the attack, but after the attack we seem to even doubt our Muslim neighbors. Sure we do have to be more cautious, but must we really call them such vulgar names and disrupt their normal routines? //Parents kept their children inside from the time they got home until they left the next morning to return to school, and stopped taking trips to stores and other public places. Mothers stopped taking their young children to playgrounds and stopped waiting at the school bus stop for their older children. Some men and women decided it was unsafe to wear traditional clothing in public. High school students found their school day defined by fear of the next insult or slur. Women stayed in their homes for days and even weeks.// [|link] Is this a decent way anyone should live life? It is not fair, but like others would argue; life isn't suppose to be fair. My solution is to make sure that no innocent Muslims would be attacked with this kind of behavior ever again. For everyone who chooses to live in the United States, each individual state must sign a contract agreeing to the terms that for whenever they choose to make a rude comment or even act crudely they will have to serve a year in the army depending on the harsh level of treatment that was bestowed. The terms that the people would have to agree to includes a $500 fine along with a year in Iraq. The people serving their time in the army will not be paid at all. With this in mind, surely no one would dare try to act improper towards any Muslims. The country would surely benefit because we're getting more soldier to fight the war in Iraq and we are enforcing the people in America to think before they act.

There is no doubt that the majority of the population would be deeply distraught about it, seeing to their point of view it comes off a bit unfair, Especially seeing as they are not going to be paid for their service in the army at all. Families would be losing loved ones, and having the govenment monitor your every move every day would create an uproar among many, but we have to do something drastic that will make the people want tp change their ways for the better. If this becomes a sucess, think of the other numerous possibilities that we can all do to make this world a better place.

Therefore the only thing that we can do is to make sure that we are not sent to Iraq is to make sure that we are a bit more sensitive towards the Muslims. The only thing we can do is put ourselves into their shoes and imagine ourselves in their shoes, in their life. We all need to repect each other in order to live together in harmony in this world. Especially with the war going on in Iraq today. The violence in America is not needed, for it is not helping our grave situation one bit. So instead of blaming the war on the Muslims in America, think clearly and ask yourself who really is at fault here.
