ABSTRACT

Not since WWII had the United States ofAmerica struggled so clearly with its diversity and public policy as it did during the fall of 2001. It was in Sep.. tember of that year that Middle Eastern terrorists used jet airliners in the U.S. to plow into the two towers of the world trade center in New York City and the pentagon in Washington, D.C. to kill and maim over 3,000 unsus .. pecting individuals. The country and, indeed, the world was horrified, out.. raged, and in search of a righteous justice for all involved. The hunt began for Muslims of Arab descent that had helped to perpetrate the act of car.. nage. Then the questions began.
