ABOUT PROVOKED BY SEPTEMBER 11 HATE CRIMES.
A year ago on September 11 all Americans were really hurt by the terrorist attack. Within this year a lot of us continued to get hurt but by attacks on each other. These attacks are mostly Muslim hate crimes. A lot of innocent people are getting assaulted, beaten up and even killed just because they are Muslims, and in some cases are not even Arabs. .
It hurts too see how Americans are using September 11 to exercise their hate on guiltless people, to make more profit and even to let their children to be brutal. Is it happening because we are all got scared and feel unprotected? Are we becoming the same terrorists as attacked us on September 11? If, yes! Then terrorists have won! .
