Author's Attitude

The author doesn't assume the reader to know a lot about Islam because it is an newspaper article and it is meant for everyone to read and understand. This means that the writer can not assume people of all ages of all knowledge know certain knowledge. We can tell that the author did not assume we know a lot about Islamic culture and muslim because the author inform us about living as a muslim in America, Islam rituals, and even 911 which most people should know about. The author's attitude toward the subject, also known as the tone, is informing but is also a bit sad and frustrated by the fact that muslims are surrounded in discrimination  against them and after the 911 incident, Americans have bad impression on all muslims even though not all muslims are terrorists. The author want the readers to know more about muslim and not be scared of it because the author wants the reader to not be stereotype and discriminate against muslims and generalizing all muslim as terrorists. The author also want us to learn more about muslim because there are many muslims living in our community and we must know each other to live peacefully in harmony and be a big happy family. United States is built on freedom of religion and that means we should not discriminate people base on their religion. Also, the United States is called the Great Melting Pot because there are many people of different backgrounds living in America so we must not be hostile but embrace them as a big family.
