    After the attack on the World Trade Centers in 2001, conspiracies began to fly, fingers were being pointed, and accusations were being made. Nine years after the attack, Omar Ashmawy wrote an essay “Ten Years After 9/11. We’re Still in the Dark” to the Washington Post. In his essay, he argues that US citizens are not well enlightened on the cultures of the Islamic and Arabic people and that ignorance gets in the way of obtaining a healthy relationship with Arab and Muslim countries. With his wise use of pathos, logos, and ethos, Ashmawy creates a well written essay that captures the heart of his readers and gives an inspiring glimpse into the effects of 9/11.

    the purpose of the attack was to hurt the united states, because the terrorist group al-qaeda hates the fact that the united states has freedom and the democracy and afghanistan, where al-qaeda is located, does not. The al-qaeda group felt that if they cannot have freedom than no one should have freedom. The result of the attack only created a religious intolerance and injustice for muslims, that made people think that all muslims were terrorists and that they should be punished. I do believe that al-qaeda should be punished, but al-qaeda has nothing to do with the muslims community, or muslims beliefs, but still muslims have been discriminated against and treated unfairly because people do not have a knowledge of who committed the attack, and in general people have an intolerance for people that are

This " clash regime" is a cultural artifact which is positioned in different strata of society because it is made up by a system of interdependent discourses that disperse into society and form a powerful 'clash mentality (Adib-Moghadam, 2011, p.5). This clash regime has constituted a main part of today 's national and international political culture (Adiv-Moghaddam, 2011, p.5). Therefore, European culture gained its own strength and identity by setting itself off against the Orient (Said, 1978).
