what does the international community think of 9/11?

[InHisSpirit]

If you are not from or living in the US what do you think about 9/11?

 

[Treppers]

Horendous, obviously. I'm sure there a a few radicials who think Allah is greatly pleased - but for everyone else, including 99% of Muslims, it was a horrendous event. Civilian slaughter is never excusable.

I think it was a terrible attack done by religious zealots fooled by a lie propagated by cowards.

I reject all the conspiracy theories about it too. We wil never know everything but I think the conspiracies only placate people who can't face that same simple fact.

I know people speak of Christian extremists, but today we only have idiots like the KKK, who are a very small minority. To compare modern Islamic extremists with Christian extremists we have to go back in history to things like the Crusaders and the Spanish Inquisition.

What REALLY bothers me is: Where are the Islamic leaders who will come out in the open and say that, "These guys are not going to heaven with a bunch of virgins. They are going straight to hell!" It seems that Islamic leaders are too quiet on this issue. Are they afraid, or do they quietly agree with these stupid mass murderers?

It is horrible, though I do not blame the weakminded hijackers but the people who brainwashed them into believing that killing thousands of innocent people would please God.

I think the whole 9/11 thing is becoming a religion in itself. Every september I dread the whole thing being dragged out every year and being nitpicked over.

There is tradegy and heartache all over the world, all through out history. I feel bad for those people but I am also concerned with how the people involved in the huge tsunami are doing, do they have adequate housing and food, plumbing? What about all those people in Darfur and refugees all over the world who have no where to go?

The 9/11 people have experienced loss and pain but they have homes, running water, jobs, support... things that in other parts of the world are luxuries to dream about and may never be obtained.

You speak exactly as I feel, cavymom. And many parts of the world have been experiencing terrorism for years and years. The UK has had to deal with the IRA bombing indicriminately, other countries, like Sri Lanka have had theTamil Tigers, and so on, and on, and on.

I know this was a horrendous act, and for so many people to die all at once somehow does make it a bit different. But the USA hasn't experienced terrorism, or war, on their own land, while many of us have done just that. A bomb kills you just the same as a plane hitting a skyscraper.

Try living in the Middle East for a while, you might react differently.

It was a horrible vicious cruel attack.

I think too that it is the fruit of foreign policies .. foriegn policies of islamic countries and islamic groups.

They have been preaching a doctrine of hate against Jews and America and democracy in the mosques since the 1930s. Keep telling you children to kill Americans and Jews and guess what? They will.

Western islamic leaders call them "the magnificient nineteen", let alone whatever it is that islamics call them in the middle east.

There are no major islamic leaders who categorically condemn these acts of terrorism - including 9/11.

Listen carefully whenever they do say something politically correct. E.g. Islamic terrorists coud have just slaughtered a bunch of babies and these western muslim leaders, even though speaking "PC" style, always condition their "condemnation" .. i.e. if you read between the lines, they say that it is the west that is to blame and the terrorists are only acting justly.

In other words, they actually approve. Remember, these men aren't terrorists to the muslim community - especially to the muslim leaders - they are martyrs fighting in the cause of Allah. The leaders here prevaricate saying they "condemn terrorism .. but .."

Always that "but .."

And when they say actually say they condemn terrorism, what they are actually saying is "we condemn terrorism of true Muslim believers by true Muslim believers". People they call "kufir", like Americans, don't even enter the equation.

My apologies to any Christian who feels offended by my post, but that's basically how it is.

How do you know that '99%' of Muslims thought that the attack on the twin towers was horrendous? Did you ask them all personally? Based on the Islamic world's monolithic attitude to America and Israel it is far more likely that by far the greater percentage of Muslims around the world would have shared the same feelings of those Palestinian Arab Muslims who actively celebrated the attack by dancing in the streets and handing out sweets to children?!

Excuse me?! What definition of 'Christian' are you using that you define the KKK as 'Christians' (even as extreme)?! There is absolutely nothing that is Christian about the KKK.

Your post is based on the erroneous assumption that Muslims think like you do and hold the same values and world-view as you do? They don't. The Islamic mind-set and world-view is totally different to that of the Judeo-Christian mind-set and world-view. Most non-Muslims throughout the Western world have no idea that Muslims hold an entirely different ideology and world view to that of Judeo-Christians or secular Humanists. They have no idea what makes muslims tick (if you'll pardon the pun) or what motivates them to do what they do. This is why I believe the works of Mark A Gabriel are so invaluable to the West in understanding the Islamic mind-set and world view.

My point exactly. Most Christians openly condemn the KKK, the Aryan Brotherhood, etc. who claim to be Christian, but are "Christian" terrorists. And I agree, they are not Christian at all. I would also add that I'm sure the Spanish inquisitors were not Christian at all.

Why are there so few Muslims who openly condemn terrorists who claim to be Muslim? Why are there so few Muslims who openly say that these are not Muslims at all and are going straight to hell?

There are moderate Muslims out there, who do not approve of terrorism, and would likewise say that these terrorists are not Muslims. I personally don't hear the voices of these moderates too loudly. And there seem to be a whole lot more so-called Muslim terrorists than so-called Christian terrorists.
