That is my long standing argument. Too many people continue to hang on to the excuse crutch and in my opinion, it has prevented them from achieving their potential. I remember wondering if my name would affect my situation after nine eleven but I decided that I am already a Muslim and cannot do anything about that. But I continue to do the right thing and can firmly state that I don't remember feeling any backlash from that terrible event. I didn't allow myself to use the blowback as an excuse crutch.
