9/11 How do paragraphs 26-28 contribute to the development of ideas in the text? Para. 26 - 28:
In the wake of the attacks, one thing that exemplified the best qualities of America was a call from many Americans for religious tolerance in the face of rising prejudice and Islamophobia. One week after 9/11, President Bush called on the Islamic Center in Washington, D. C., and assured the gathering that the United States knows the difference between terrorists and good citizens.

“America counts millions of Muslims amongst our citizens,” he said, “and Muslims make an incredibly valuable contribution to our country. [They] are doctors, lawyers, law professors, members of the military, entrepreneurs, shopkeepers, moms and dads. And they need to be treated with respect. In our anger and emotion, our fellow Americans must treat each other with respect.”

The feeling is still seen today. As the sister of one of the victims of 9/11 attack wrote in The Washington Post, a “murderous act does not justify discrimination against people based on race, religion or nationality. It does not justify banning refugees and immigrants. These cruel actions may not be done in my name, or in the name of my dead brother.”
