Answer:

Explanation of the sentence: Timothy McVeigh was neither Arab nor Muslim and provoked a terrorist attack by being an American boy, respectable and admired.

Explanation:

Timothy McVeigh was a New Yorker, white, straight, and a boy decorated for his actions in the Gulf War. In other words, he was the American standard, an admirable person and one that made the country proud, but this proved to be a big lie. That's because Timothy was responsible for a terrorist attack on the bomb that killed around 168 dead and left 850 injured in Oklahoma.

The attack was linked to some radical Islamist group, nobody imagined that an American would do that to his own people. However, by discovering that Timothy was the culprit and who had no connection with Islam, the population could rethink their concepts in relation to religions and patriotism.

"Far, far away lay a small farm with all the animals you would expect, horses, cows, dogs, and cats. Little Mary Johnson and her brother were wandering around the old run-down house in which they lived. Mary was following her brother. They went to the old Oak tree, exactly where he had seen the beehive. The tiny hill overlooked the little graveyard in town. Mary was scared of the small patch of land by the old church. They reached the top of the hill where Mary could hear a soft humming noise from inside.

She saw the small beehive at the top of the tree. She knew why her brother brought her here at the top of the small hill. See, her brother's class was learning about honey bees, and for most of the summer break, he had been leading her to where he had found the small buzzing, bright yellow but pitch black striped insects."
