Understanding September 11th by Mitch Frank Pages 36-73

Understanding Islam, and how it could be hijacked like a plane and used as an excuse for mass murder, is key to Understanding September 11th. Islam is one of the world’s largest religions, with more than one billion believers. It was begun by the prophet Muhammad. The stereotype is familiar, Islam is a religion of violence, where suicide bombers and mad warriors kill in the name of God. Certainly hearing the words of Osama bin Laden, who believes God gave him visions of planes hitting tall office buildings, it’s believable that Islam has become justification for murder. The middle east matters because of religion, economics, and politically unstable. The terrorist target the United States because many reason. For example, American support Israel, which many muslims see as muslim land under Jewish occupation. There also much deeper resentment. America today is prosperous and successful, while the Middle East struggles with poverty and misery. But Thousand years ago, Islamic empire that grew after Muhammad’s death was the most powerful on earth. They also hate the American because America’s support for Israel, that has created more arab resentment of U.S than perhaps any other issue.

It's awful that people blame Islam just because a small group of crazy people have used the religion as an excuse for their violence. And yet, I hear many conservatives doing that. It's another reason to fear the unknown.

Are the sentences you wrote in your summary your words, or did you copy them? If you copy them, remember that this, too, is plagiarism!

Also, your opinion paragraph is very short!
