I've heard lots of protests from Muslims where the heck have you been? It's true that you despise all Muslims but you should at least know whom you despise. I'm sure some Muslims (and even non-Muslims) felt some satisfaction from 911 but some Americans also feel satisfaction in the demolition of Fallujah or the bombing of Lebanon. There are thugs everywhere in the human species but they are overwhelming rightwing. Of course the WORST reaction to 911 was that of the BUSHIES. They cynically used 911 to topple a government for corporate profits. Do you think THAT's a good thing? ================ "...In Libya, where the official media churns out constant anti-American propaganda, foreigners were surprised by the muted and sympathetic public reaction. A European diplomat said: "According to the information I have, there was no display of joy among Libyans. The reaction was rather decent and people were moved by the scenes of death and havoc." This was confirmed by a shopkeeper, Hassan Guaoud, who told Reuters: "Most people were saddened by television footage of innocent people screaming and running through the streets of New York. People in my neighbourhood showed sympathy with innocent Americans." Although Libya has long been on the US list of states that allegedly sponsor terrorism, the Libyan leader, Colonel Muammar Gadafy, urged everyone to "put human considerations above political differences" and "offer aid to the victims of this gruesome act".... guardian.co.uk "..."No true Muslim would do anything like this," Mr Yusuff added. "This is an attack on American sovereignty in my view that can only be rivalled by the attack on Pearl Harbour." Muslim groups throughout the United States issued statements of sorrow about Tuesday's attacks, but community leaders simultaneously braced themselves for a fresh round of anti-Islamic feeling similar to the one which saw widespread incidents of threats and violence following initial suspicions, subsequently disproved, that Islamic militants were responsible for the 1995 Oklahoma City bombing in which 168 people died. Mosques and Islamic centres in several cities were placed under round-the-clock police guard within hours of the attacks in New York and Washington, as cultural centres and other groups reported a series of threats and anti-Muslim incidents...." guardian.co.uk =============
