On September 11th I first learned of the terrible event when I returned from getting my school picture taken. The radio spilled information into our room with such an effect that none of us thought that it was true. I later learned that as I took my picture the seccond plane hit the seccond building. When I had come home from school I stayed in the same position for at least half an hour looking at the TV and its unrealistic footage.

Ever since the trajic events of September 11th I have been questioned about my religion. Don't be fooled, all of the questions were to better understand Islam. None of the questions were our of hatred. My mother who represents does Public Relations for the Islamic Society of Tulsa, has been working day and night to make sure that the general public understand that Islam here in Tulsa and all over the world would not condone such an act of hatred.

I think we should all remeber our faith on September 11th. We shouldn't remember only our faith in God, but our faith in each other to ensure our safety and love for our fellow citizens. Also we should remember our Pastors, Rabbis and Imams to strengthen our religion and redeem it if necessary.
