The world has really changed. Muslims who used to be considered ‘good muslims’ by physical appearance (and otherwise) are looked upon with suspicion now. A bearded Mullah is considered equivalent to an extremist/terrorist.

Here is how media presented the event through captions / slogans, which are still in use.

Slogans and terms derived from the September 11 attacks - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Various slogans and captions were employed by media outlets to brand coverage of the September 11th terrorist attack, its after effects, and the (United States - Wikipedia) government response. The slogans for American media were typically positioned on the bottom third of television broadcasts, or as banners across the top of newspaper pages. Designs typically incorporated a patriotic red, white, and blue motif, along with an explicit graphic of the American flag. Examples include:

• “America Attacked”, “A Nation United” (ABC)

• “Attack on America” (NBC)

• “A Nation Challenged”, “Day of Terror”, “Portraits of Grief” (The New York Times)

• “America’s New War”, “War Against Terror”, “America under Attack” (CNN)

• “War on Terror” (Fox News)

• “America on Alert”, “America under Attack” (MSNBC)

• “The Second Pearl Harbor” (Honolulu Advertiser)

• “War On America” (The Daily Telegraph)
