How about Palestinians dancing in the streets handing out candy on 9/11?

en.wikipedia.org

"Osama" became a very popular name in Muslim communities after 9/11. There was an article published at the time that cited figures that Osama was the second most popular male name after Muhammed following 9/11.

Even our most staunch Muslim supporters in Kuwait were "angered" by our invasion of Afghanistan. Note that the Kuwaiti woman named her son "Osama" one year before 9/11.

I could go on, but there's really no point.
