Question

What were the most significant difference between World War I experience of the German Americans and the World War II experience of Japanese Americans to the experience of Muslim Americans after September 11??

Answer 1

The most significant difference was created in the form of perspective associated with the people of certain communities. After September 11, Muslim Americans are always viewed and thought with a perspective of suspicion, scope of relationship with the terrorist with Islamic background and to be put in enhanced scrutiny for the whole lot of Muslim Americans. It happened due to the killing of innocent people due to one side terrorist activity that caused sufferings to the many families and put a permanent suspicion to these Muslim Americans, though USA selected their president Mr. Barack Obama who has a Muslim background. This issue of suspicion is not associated with the German Americans and Japanese Americans after the world war, because it was fought between countries and in the battle ground, and killed each other. So, the animosity towards German Americans and Japanese Americans were short lived as equal damage were done by the USA to these countries.
But, the case of September 11, was much different when innocent people were killed. It brought a permanent change to look at Muslim Americans with suspicion and doubt.
