While I was reading YemenTimes three days ago, a title took my attention it is: Americans point of view on Muslims.
Its written by Hakim Almasmari
Recently, I was touring the United States, and wanted to know the feelings of Americans towards Muslims residing in the United Stases after the 9/11 attacks in New York and Washington. Many people around America were asked of how they felt about Muslims living in the United States. Some answered positively and some not. Here are some replies.
Mike Richards
Computer Engineer
“In my point of view, Muslims are a big part of this country and are building stone for the future of America. You are not talking about a couple of people; Muslims in America outnumber ten million citizens. You will notice many people feeling more awkward when being around Muslims and even seeing them..Many Americans feel hatred towards Muslims because they are given a bad name in general by the media.”
Dwayne Johnson
Nurse“I do not know, sometimes it’s too much. Nowadays everywhere you go in America you will pass by Muslims. I don’t think Muslims are the problem. They are very nice and honest people. Many of my colleagues are Muslims from Syria and Pakistan, and understand each other completely. Things have changed to the worse after 9/11, but through time, relations will return to what they were before.”
Rebecca Jovanski
Laborer
“I feel very nervous when I see Muslims. I lived in a neighborhood, which had some Muslim houses. After the September attacks, I had to move to another city. I think that it is not right to oppose them, but there is still a weakness in me that makes me scared when I see them. I know that by time this mentality will change. I am sure of that.”
And many others…
My regards,,,
