America as a whole only wants to see Muslims as a disgraceful group because of the 9-11 attacks, and the terrible events that a few people of Muslim culture committed. Randy Halstrom, my grandfather, who was 56 years old at the time of the attack said, “My view did change on Muslims until I realized that not all Muslims think the same as those terrorists who were behind the 9-11 attacks.” Randy, like most people at the time, thought all Muslims were horrible after these attacks, but later realized that these terrorists were a select few of the Muslim population that committed these crimes.…
