Why did the people in the countries these barbarians were from not stand up, and show their outrage as much as the rest of world did.....

After all, there were people in the US on 9-11 from MANY countries in the world....

What leaders of Muslim countries stood up and extended sympathy and outrage to America and the other countries who had innocent citizens killed....???????????

What do you think would happen if America, or Israel or several other countries in the world, crashed planes or other weapons into symbols of power into Muslim countries and killed thousands of people?????

Did those murdering barbarians think God (by any name) would be pleased????

Actually, I believe "Allahu Akhbar" means "God is greatest"

If that's what is meant by it, I do not find it offensive. But the jihadis have given it a secondary meaning: "I have a right to kill you then go to paradise to collect my 72 virgins"

That I do find highly offensive.
