Talks about how innocent Muslims were attacked after 9/11 when they were “pulled out [of their homes], beaten in the streets [and mosques firebombed]” (3) . According to Mogahed, people treated Muslims as if they were a tumor in the body of America. “The only question is: are [they] malignant or benign” (3)? “A malignant tumor you remove completely, and a benign tumor you simply keep under surveillance,” just as Muslims were treated (Mogahed, 3). Building the argument, she illustrates her experience of driving across Central America after the attack, crouching as low as possible in her seat, and, for the first time ever, being afraid to identify as Muslim (Mogahed, 3). Finally, Mogahed tells the story of an unfortunate young married couple living in North Carolina, where their neighbor Craig Hicks kills them “in their apartment, execution-style after posting anti-Muslim statements on his Facebook page” (5 ). We did not know that such “[bigoted actions are not only immoral, but] can also be lethal” (5). On the other hand, not all Americans are against Muslims, some are even rational and well-informed. Mogahed illustrates this example by telling the story of Muslims who gathered in the mosque on Fridays to pray. That Friday following the September 11 incident, the mosque was filled with “Christians, Jews, Buddhists, atheists, people of faith and of no faith, who came not to attack [Muslims], but to stand in solidarity with [them]" (5) “These people were there because they chose courage and compassion over panic and prejudice.” With a sense of activism, Mogahed asks “what [would you choose in a time] of fear and bigotry” (6)? That said, Mogahed activates a fourth rhetorical appeal known as kairos, encouraging people to take action and seize the opportunity to bring sociability.
