Face to face Sayema Hameed

Sayema was born and raised in America, her religious choice to be a Muslim and cultural background that supported her and her family were no longer feeling safe after the September 11th attacks. Sayema said that she felt scared to even leave the house by herself because she felt as if she would be harmed or somebody would be rude to her out in public. People would tell her that the whole Arab nation needed to be wiped out, but what is it going to do? She pleads that people need to realize where the source of misery from the suicide bombers are coming from, within an individual and not a whole country. She says that she wishes that bombings did not happen and that she feels bad for what happened on September 11th, but she doesn't understand why she is still blamed for what happened twelve years ago whenever she personally was not in charge of it all. It is most definitely not fair how people still continue to judge Muslim culture for the actions taken place on September 11th, as Sayema said, "Suicide bombers are individuals, not a whole country." So why do people continue to judge the people from the country and countries surrounding?
