According
to Puar, whom wanted to stop another misunderstanding and ignorance of
Americans by saying the war on terrorism should not labeled Muslims or any race
that could lead to the target of that one race. It is as if how the Japanese
were sent to internment and seen as a common enemy during world war II and
suspected as spies even though if they were loyal to the United States. Tragic
events like that should not have happened and could be avoided. A lot of Arabs
distance themselves from the word Arab and some South Asians like Sikh and
Indians were even confused for Middle Eastern which caused anti-Semitism
feelings towards Muslims, but the media portrayed all Middle Eastern looking
people are considered terrorist and Muslims and are deemed as enemies. America
is walking into the same steps and repeating the same mistakes.
Q: How did Muslim Americans feel about the war on terrorism
and how did it affect them in society during that period right after 9/11?
