America`s war partner Britain who backed and helped the Americans in war with Afghanistan. What they got in return was a terrorist attack in their own country. On July 8, 2005 50 people were killed in London as a result of a bus and a underground train bombings. The investigation for the group of people who did it went underway immediately. The FBI predicted that these bombings were very much related to the attacks occurred in 9/11. After observing hours of telivision footage, tons of wreckage was sorted for clues and the experts 
were trying to analyze and find information from tiny traces of explosives. There were also a lot of riders stuck under ground for hours. Some of those who got arrested in connection with London and Glasgow are Indian muslims. These arrests fears innocent Indian muslims. As a result of this, they very well know that they will be facing difficulty finding jobs overseas. I think the Al-Qaeda wanted to send a British a message not to back The Americans again. I think they tried to show the British that they can do the same thing to them like they did to the Americans.http://www.spiegel.de/international/0,1518,364252,00.htmlhttp://www.nytimes.com/2007/07/12/business/worldbusiness/12rupee.htmlPictures:http://www.nlpwessex.org/images/VauxhallHQ.JPGhttp://www.abc.net.au/reslib/200703/r133222_445896.jpghttp://www.photomediagroup.com/archive/2005-fall/img/tb-londonBombing.jpg
A month a after The terrorist attack in the US, A war was launched by the United States and the United Kingdom in response to September 11. This was also known as the “Fight Back” war. It was the beginning of George Bush administration`s war on terrorism. The main theme of this war was to catch Osama Bin Laden. It was said that Laden was the main person who planned the entire evil that happened in 9/11. Bin Laden`s trained group was called the Al-Qaeda. It was found that the hijackers of the planes that crashed in 9/11 were trained by the Al-Qaeda. The US and UK used a lot of dangerous weapons and bombs against Afghanistan. They killed a lot of Afghanistan people. A lot of American troops also died because of injuries. Some died because of diseases and heat. After fighting for months they captured Afghanistan but couldn`t find Laden. The Americans took control from the Taliban. The U.S also made their own air base in Afghanistan. But it was found a couple months later that The United States had planned the war on terror long before September 11. They wanted to go war with Afghanistan mostly like in July but because of the harsh weather in Afghanistan they didn`t. They were waiting for their right chance. The Americans seized control of oil rich territory in Central Asia. I think they went to Afghanistan to fight the terrors and to capture their oil. But the American media tried to cover up the real economic and strategic interest that underlie the war against Afghanistan by saying that the war took place overnight to get revenge from the Al-Qaeda of what they have done in September 11, 2001.

The immigration became very strict after the September 11, 2001. It became very hard for muslims to become an American citizen. The suspicion instantly changed for the Arab and muslim communities in the United States. The immigration always paid a sharp attention to muslim people especially when they were traveling. The laws for the immigration also got very strict. The harsh law enforcement reaction 9/11 overwhelmed muslims and especially Arab communities. People from immigration started going to people`s houses especially muslims to check if they are legal to live in this country or not.
The also deported some illegal muslims back to their country right after 9/11. The police tortured and locked muslims if they found a little information. They locked them up without any proves. The Latin Americans immigrants also got affected at the same time. Most of them were Mexicans. The United States also secured the American and Mexican border. They feared that the terrorists will have a great chance in entering America through the Mexican border. The muslim charities were also targeted by the FBI. A number of them were closed down. The labor migration to America was reduced for a while. Student visa, labor migration visa was very hard to achieve. It was for very hard for muslim people to travel.

September 11 gave the Americans a great shock. A lot of people lost their family members. Some lost their family, relatives in the twin towers, some were the passenger who were on board on the planes. Most of the people are pissed off about the attacks and some of them are still in fear thinking it might happen again. A huge number of people are still facing mental health effects still today. After a long research I can see that people are reexamining their priorities in life. They are trying very hard to forget about the past and move on with their everyday life by blessing the heroes who in September 11. But they hope nothing like that ever happens again in this world. the American Psychological Association finds that people living in New York who have experienced the 9/11 attacks are showing mental health problems more than others. More than 24 percent are still depressed from what happened in 9/11. More than three-quarters of Americans which is 77 percent said that they are trying take easy their life and move on with their life. But the Muslim families had faced some other kind of problem. They were investigated here and there. Especially the Arabs, they were always suspected by everybody in anything they did. The immigration was also at the back of them. People in America started to call the “ The Bad guys”. the local police were looking for clues and were under pressure to fight terrorism. The arrested any Arabs if they found any small clues. The Arab families were under stress. Arab-Americans reported an increasing sense of victimization, suspicion of government and law enforcement They concerned the government to protect their civil liberties. The media, TV interviews made The Arabs even more scared.

September 11 was probably the most horrified day in world history. It killed the spirit of the Americans by killing thousands of people inside the twin towers. Now there is only one question in people`s mind that is this over or there are more to come.?? In September 11, 2001 every body in New York were getting ready for a everyday life. No body thought that the they ever had to see or experience the most terrifying moment in their life.
Nineteen members of Al-Qaeda hijacked four commercial jet airliners. One member of each group went to some pilot training. They crashed two of the planes into the Twin Towers in New York City. The third plane in Pentagon and the fourth was supposed crash in the White House. But the passengers inside found out and fought their lives to save the plane from crashing into the White House. This flight was called flight 93. There were a couple of documentaries made about flight 93. The documentaries showed how brave the passengers were to fight the terrorists and save the plane from crashing into the White House. My blog project basically describes the effects in America after September 11, 2001. I will write about the effects that occurred after the attack. For example, Economy, Unemployment, Fear of people etc..
