Abstract
This research disputes upon the consequences of September 9 through the practice of
Political Discourse Analysis (PDA) in Home Boy (2010). The researchers intend to
portray the locus of transnational Muslims in United States after the flop of Twin Towers.
Under the conceptual framework of Islamophobia, Transnationalism, Post-colonialist
Other/other and PDA this paper pursues to analyze the language used in the text that
projects the negative they and positive us vocabulary of the west. The above mentioned
conceptual framework induces forward the stereotyping of Muslims and Islam as
‘terrorist’ and ‘terrorism’, respectively. The findings of the research specify that how
political discourse is supplied with ideological tropes at different levels of western
society. Societal domain of text is the entire US society that is affected by the political
domain of US politics regarding power, dominance, hegemony and ideology. After the
9/11 Muslims precisely the youth has endured a trauma based upon contradictory
religious identity. The discourse exposes the traumatized values of free American
citizenship for the Muslims as they are deprived of the rights of citizenship in US. Thus,
the discourse represents that a political ideology is at work in order to negatively
position Islamic ideology consequently to stereotype the Muslims as terrorists.
