9/11 9 Years Later Response/Burning Quaran

The are many Constitutional issues of the church in Florida burning the Quran. The Constitutional issues that circle around the people of the church in Florida are freedom of speech and expression. The Constitutional issues of freedom of speech and expression allows the church to burn the Quaran, even though it is ignorant if they do so.

My personal response to this issue is that I believe it is mortifying that Americans would actually steryotype an entire nationality of people based on a few people with different views on life. It is ignorant for Americans to stoop down, be immature, and to blame an entire national for something that they did not do. Even though a group of people who were Arab flew plans into the World Trade Center, all Arabs should not be repremanded and looked down upon by the people who belong to the church in Florida.

I remember the entire day and night of 9/11 vividly. My dad was on a flight to New York that morning and as I was in the car going to school, I had found out from the radio that there were planes that flew into the World Trade Center. Before I got into school, I knew my dad was not in the plane because he called me to ensure that he was safe. As I was in school, we wathced the news and I did not think anything of it because I thought it have could of been an accident. As my mom picked me back up from school, I watched my TV for the rest of the day and night to try to understand what has happened in America. I later then watched George Bush's speech on how he wants war and revenge on Al-Queda.

  2. I agree. We cannot make the stereotype on an entire nation saying that they are bad people. Just because a few arabs made a bad decision, it does not mean that their entire nation are bad people.
