The tragedy of September 11, 2001, rocked the American world. Families were torn apart; innocent lives were lost by the thousand. It is a day that will stand in infamy for the American people. However, it is so easy to forget that 9/11 did not only affect Christian Americans; it also greatly changed the lives of Muslim Americans.The New Edition: The Truth presents a well-researched look at the lives of Muslim Americans, before and after the tragedy of 9/11. Based on numerous surveys, author Wazhma Khalili has come to realize Muslim-Americans do feel greatly discriminated against since that day-especially throughout the 2008 presidential election. On Election Day, many Muslim Americans felt hostility from their neighbors when they attempted to vote in person. Despite this hostility, though, voting continued, as many Muslim Americans believe that Barack Obama will be the first president to address the issue of race and work toward national equality. At its simplest, The New Edition: The Truth is about overcoming hate in a modern world often overwrought with anger and racial profiling.
