Table of content

🌟 Quick Summary: On September 11, 2001, a shocking terrorist act occurred in the U.S., shaking the world. The event led to the U.S.'s "War on Terror," altering global politics, perceptions of Islam, and Western attitudes toward the Middle East.

Key Points 🎯

The Event Itself

  • What Happened: 19 men hijacked four U.S. planes; two crashed into the World Trade Center, one into the Pentagon, and one in Pennsylvania.

  • Impact: Over 3000 people killed.

🍕 Real-world example: Imagine someone stealing your car and crashing it into a busy market. Except it's not just one car; it's four, and it's not just one market; it's landmarks representing an entire nation.

Who's Behind It?

  • Perpetrators: Osama Bin Laden and his followers.

  • Motivation: Claimed Muslims were under attack globally and that the U.S. supported corrupt governments.

🍿 Real-world example: You're mad at the school bully who you think is also influencing the principal. Instead of talking it out or going to authorities, you decide to throw a stink bomb in the classroom. Bad idea. Super bad idea.

Muslim Perspective

  • Most Muslims Were Appalled: The Quran advocates war only for self-defense.

  • Global Condemnation: Even Iran's President condemned the methods as un-Islamic.

🕌 Real-world example: Let's say a student from your school cheats in a major competition. Most students, who believe in fair play, are horrified—even the ones who don't like the competition organizers.

U.S. Reaction and 'War on Terror'

  • Immediate Response: President Bush emphasized Islam as a peaceful religion.

  • Global Condemnation: Even Iran's President condemned the methods as un-Islamic.

🎬 Real-world example: Imagine your family home was robbed. Your parents take immediate action to upgrade the security system and track down the culprits, but they still remain at large.
