Misunderstood, Misjudged, Mistreated

Many have judged them as a "bad religion" or just bad people in general. The attacks only reinforced many of these people's false beliefs. .
             Since the attacks were said to be lead by Osama Bin Laden from Afghanistan many people became even more susceptible to judge an entire religion. They claimed that this was jihad or a "holy war". Therefore the media and other citizens tied this "holy war" with all Muslims. That is were most of the hate came from, and even more questions arose about the Muslim religion, and weather it was a good religion or if it just was an outright bad thing to be. Like it was mentioned earlier, the treatment of women in Muslim societies has been questioned over and over again by many people. Following the attacks, more and more people from the United States were questioning Muslim women on why they would want to be controlled the way they are. Barbara Walters did an interview with a few Afghani women, and questioned them about their treatment. Many of them said they did not feel any less than a man (20/20 video). However, many people have speculated that these women were afraid to really speak what really lies inside their hearts. They may have feared for their lives had they been completely honest about the way of life for women in Afghanistan. .

Even though men and children were also easily targeted, women were by far the biggest targets of discrimination. By wearing the hijab women were clearly showing that they were of Middle-Eastern decent or of the Muslim religion (Stodolska 18). Many of those people discriminating found it easier to do so because it was obvious that these women were part of the Muslim community. All of a sudden many of these women were faced with the challenge of having to go outside, and have to hear many hateful words or get dirty looks because of an article of clothing.
