The annual anniversary of the tragedy of 9/11 passed with much fanfare as it has been passing ‎for last ten years. Taking stock of things as an ordinary US citizen, you will feel that as an ‎individual, you have lost much and as a country, the United States has lost even more than you ‎do. The first blow that the incident of 9/1 caused was restrictions on the personal freedoms ‎specifically if you belong to Muslim and Indian community, having your surname or first name ‎sounding Muhammad, Mahmood or Ahmad. You go through constant hassles and mental ‎torture of eves dropping by the security agency and then bickering and slander by the all and ‎sundry as if you are a walking anathema in the United States. Thought this is not common and ‎widespread, yet it is a fact that several Asian and Middle Eastern Muslims have testified. ‎ The second fallout is decrease in tolerance and misuse of the freedom of expression. Again the ‎most of the victims are Muslims even though one has been living in the United States for ‎decades. A home to so many freedom loving persons, the United States is no more considered a ‎safe haven for several migrant Muslim communities. They are no more tolerated in the same ‎way as they used to enjoy freedom before the 9/11 and second is attacks that should be called ‎vicious attacks like the fellow Terry Jones and recently filming against Islam and Prophet ‎‎[PBUH] are quite on the rise. It is sheer misuse of freedom of expression that different anti-‎Islamic demagogues are spitting their venom using social media and other platforms and ‎creating physical violence. The consequence is that the Americans specifically ordinary ‎Americans are becoming targets of the ensuring violence as it has happened in Libya and Egypt ‎the other day.‎
