The tolerance for political freedom at first in America used to be at a high but now is at an all time low due to the events of September 11.I mean we have to be careful but not limit our freedom. I mean because of these events now you cant even bring certain stuff on to an airport and because of this we are now in the Iraq war and facing one of the worst economically problems the U.S has seen in a long time and now even living out the so called American dream is tough especially for people who are minorities especially Muslims who are being religiously profiled for there religion and that’s just messed up. A quota from Colin Powell stated “It was a photo essay about troops who are serving in Iraq and Afghanistan. And one picture at the tail end of this photo essay was of a mother in Arlington Cemetery, and she had her head on the headstone of her son's grave. And as the picture focused in, you could see the writing on the headstone. And it gave his awards--Purple Heart, Bronze Star--showed that he died in Iraq, gave his date of birth, date of death. He was 20 years old. And then, at the very top of the headstone, it didn't have a Christian cross, it didn't have the Star of David, it had crescent and a star of the Islamic faith. And his name was Kareem Rashad Sultan Khan, and he was an American. He was born in New Jersey. He was 14 years old at the time of 9/11, and he waited until he can go serve his country, and he gave his life. Now, we have got to stop polarizing ourselves in this way“. I agree 100% with what Powell said I mean even though the people who attacked us were Muslims doesn’t mean we have to have any hatred towards Muslims.
