9/11
September 11, 2010
(The falling man, one of the most haunting images taken last 9/11, he jumped from one of the windows of North Tower. Taken from http://sazz.tumblr.com/)
I was 15 years old at that time when I saw something shocking on the television about the airplane crashing on one of the business districts in New york. It was a terrorist atack that shocked the whole world, and just like the incident happened during the hostage crisis, we are all shocked on what we’ve seen on our television screen.
It was an act of terrorism. for sure. And Osama Bin Laden has to blame for this. And I just can’t believe that some of his followers, majority would be muslims, were rejoicing as they heard that their plan is a success.
And some muslims, the peace loving ones were devastated for they were now victims of discrimination because of that tragic incident.
Sad to see what the world has put all the hatred not on the person involved, but on others as well.
Years had passed and we all moved on. But there are some people who still think that muslims is the evil act itself. Im not a muslim, I’m a firm believer of christian (catholic) faith. But this insane pastor named Terry Jones and his plan on burning the muslim’s holy koran can cause havoc not just to the american-arab relations but to the muslim and christian nation as well.
I heard the news about the muslims and their plan on building a mosque near the big apple, and I’m not against that. If christians, jews, buddhist and some people from other religions can build their own churches, synagogues and their own religious centers then the muslims has the right to do so too. And I do think this may not cause some turmoil to other citizens but can cause great ties to all people of all nations and denominations to live in peace.
May everyone remember 9/11.
