INTRODUCTION
The September 11 attack also termed as 9/11 were mainly a series of four coordinated
terrorist attack. This attack was conducted by the militant Islamism terrorism group Al Qaeda
against the United States of America .The Attack was the series of airline hijacking and suicide
attacks which shocked the entire United States of America (Hunt, Agarwal and Zhuang, 2021).
Due to attack, there was continuous sweeping change in the manner in which the United States
and its advisories, partners using the machinery for the technology and state to respond to the
threats. This attack also changes the manner of airport security international relations and the
manner in which Arab and Islamic people has been looked. This attacked cause ever increase in
the hate crime against Muslims and Arab in the United States. Present essay discusses the entire
9/11 attack its impact on airport security, international relations and the way Arabic and Islamic
people has been looked.
MAIN BODY
The 9/11 attack caused significant economic damage United States of America which lead
negative impact on global financial market. It has been identified that insurance and airlines
company took the hardest hit immediately and the stock markets of United States drastically fall
10% in the day after. On the day September 2011 America was attacked by the terrorist in
addition to this it has been elevated that series of suicide attacks as well as airline hijacking
committed in the year affected entire world (Zbidi, 2021). September 11 attacks also known as
the 9/11 attacks. On this day Americans got up to a world that showed up everlastingly changed.
It has been determined that The morning prior, the United States had been assaulted interestingly
on its dirt since Pearl Harbor. Analysts immediately made sensational expectations regarding
how the United States would change thus, from an extended security state to radicalization inside
the country to the furthest limit of incongruity (Inan, 2021). A few intellectuals ended up being
right; others, tragically misguided. The 9/11 time in the rearview reflects, over the most recent 20
years, age has grown up with just an aggregate memory of the assaults, and the United States has
now been removed from Afghanistan. In any case, a few movements were long-lasting. In
addition to this, it has been evaluated that after the attack of 9/11 the U.S relationship with the
Arabs as well as with the Muslims has drastically changed. It indicates that the relationship
after9/11 seems to never be the same. It has been evaluated that, The 9/11 attack always changed

the U.S. relationship with the Arab and Muslim world and has characterized them for the beyond
twenty years. The horrendous occasions of Sept. 11, 2001, moved connections given energy
security, reciprocal interests, and the support of Israel's tactical matchless quality and made them
to a great extent about the objective of countering Islamist illegal intimidation. In the final part of
the twentieth century, U.S. collusions with Arab and Muslim-larger part nations depended on
whether they fell under the U.S. or then again Soviet impact. After 9/11, U.S. strategy toward the
Arab and Muslim world became given the standard of liable until demonstrated honest, even
though large numbers of similar nations have experienced a greater number of demonstrations of
illegal intimidation than the United States. From how wars have been battled to how visas have
been given, the United States' regularly out-of-line doubts about Arabs and Muslims expanded
pressures with populaces all over the planet. During the George W. Shrub organization, calls
developed for a country working in feeble states, in light of a conviction that ungoverned spaces
and denied populaces prompted putrefying fear-based oppressor associations (Kaunert, Callander
and Léonard, 2021). Be that as it may, the U.S. attacks of Afghanistan and Iraq neglected to
convey the ideal outcomes of more powerful country states. The Obama organization moved
concentration, underscoring pulling out from Iraq while pulling together on Afghanistan. The
development of the Islamic State immediately pulled the United States back in. The two
organizations added to the brokenness of various nations. While previous President Donald
Trump resigned the expression battle on fear neither president nor U.S. President Joe Biden
concocted a choice to handle psychological warfare past designated drone strikes. 9/11 changed
the existence of the individuals who lost friends and family in the assaults on the United States
just as the people who lost their lives in the following conflicts in Afghanistan and Iraq. With the
catastrophic exit from Afghanistan and U.S. needs indistinct going ahead, it does not create the
impression that Washington has gained from the errors of the beyond twenty years. All things
being equal, the U.S. military may and shortcoming in carrying out a key international strategy
regulation gives off an impression of being constants. At long last, the risk of radical gatherings
remains and keeping in mind that the initiative of those gatherings has changed, their teaching
has not (Saeed, Anwar and Khan, 2021). In addition to this, it has been identified that the 9/11
attack also changes the manner of air travel, in this, it has been underlined that in the August
before 9/11, U.S. air travel set a record high with 65.4 million travelers. Post-9/11 air travel
declined substantially10. Traveler volume did not transcend the pre 9/11 high interestingly until
4

July 2005, an expansion of around 9.7%. The insolvencies and vanishing of many air
transporters, the discontinuance of many air courses and objections, and stricter security
screening, all added to issues for the business. Indeed, even before 9/11, the U.S. carrier industry
was enduring a direct result of the downturn. The national government offered a $15 billion
guide bundle yet a few aircraft in any case sought financial protection. At the point when product
prospects exchanging was briefly ended, and global air and cross-line imports of transient items
from Canada and Mexico were momentarily halted, the agrarian business experienced major
monetary misfortunes. Furthermore, it has been evaluated that commodity trading as well as
import traffic duly resumed in a quick manner, however, it has been identified that the sector
recovered soon (Wood and Gardiner, 2021). This attract duly changed the security system on
Airport along with the manner in which Arabic and Islamic people has been looked. Many
Muslims around the world singled and discriminated due to their Muslim religion. In addition to
this it has been identified that there was continuous discrimination against Muslims which date
time to face criticism the 9/11 attack made long-term impact upon the life of Muslims as well as
Muslims Americans. Furthermore, it has been identified that is specially Muslim women have
been targeted due to their hijab. 9/11 attack affected the lives of Muslim men women and
children and led them to face many discrimination (van Bergen, Feddes and de Ruyter, 2021).
However it has been identified that there were a number of anti Muslims initiatives as well as
policies launched by the government of United States after the attacked in order to make sure
that Muslims and Arabs not get discriminated in the United States. President George Bush
initiated number of policies for the treatment of women in children and protect Muslims from
humanitarian crisis.
It has been evaluated that, the travel security also increased on Airport, however Muslim
faced discrimination at airports after the September 11 attack and establishment of the
transportation security system. Muslim people faced travel discrimination number of ways for
example they was discriminated so many times and being stopped at the checkpoint especially
women’s were asked to go through a body scanner. The Attacks of 9/11 cause drastic
consequences on Muslim travel which they continue to face discrimination at airport security the
screening of Muslim at the airport conducted on high scales (Waldman, Stickley and Oh, 2021).
Attack of 9/11 shocked the entire United States in which after that number of global Counter-
Terrorism programs has been provided by the government and different type of policies and
5

strategies has been framed in order to protect Muslim peoples against discrimination. The attack
of 9/11 mainly change the manner in which Arabic and Islamic people has been looked they
faced discrimination in the name of airport security and in the country due to their religion this
attack also change the manner of international relations.
CONCLUSION
Thus from the above essay it has been evaluated that the 9/11 attacked not only shocked the
entire United States but also changed its international relations, airport security and crime against
Muslims in the United States of America and even most of the countries around the globe. Anti-
Muslim hate crimes has been significantly increased after this attack and crime against Muslims
and Arab. However essay identifies that number of policies strategies and practices has been set
up by the United States of America in terms of treatment of women and children and against
discrimination and crimes against Muslims and Arabs in order to protect them.
