Of course I don't. It's incredibly tragic. I totally support everything we're doing to fight back.
Now: What the hell is your point?
It is easy to understand the feelings of the one who posted this thread. Everything that is American was violated on EVERY American on 9-11. There has been no broad based CONDEMNATION of fundamentalist Islam (the real agent of terrorism) by the Arab/Muslim American community. The silence is deafening to home-grown Americans. I can believe the poster of this thread because of a story I will now relate.
My cousin was contracted to work down in Brooklyn, right on the water's edge, just south of the WTC. He had a great view of the Twin Towers from the construction site; his construction hut was on the top of the high rise. On 9-11 he was on the roof of this high rise looking out over the water when he witnessed the first and then the second plane crash into the WTC. He watched both building crumble bringing to an abrupt end the lives of those inside. As this information was disseminated throughout the media and the public was witnessing this intrinsically evil act, he noticed a commotion at street level. He went down to the ground floor to see what was happening. Across the street was a middle-eastern deli. The B*stards, as he called them, were dancing in the street and in the store. If it weren't for the NYPD, the construction workers would have torn them apart. This display of JOY at the decimation of innocent humanity was too much to swallow and, IMHO, was perverted and nearly as evil as the act itself. This has been witnessed by Americans ALL over America in various cities and at different times. I am totally amazed at the self control of the U.S. and flabergasted at the sadistic rejoicing not only in the Middle-East but also here in the Islamic population of the U.S.
If Arab/Muslim Americans want to be seen as patriots you need to come out in force ABSOLUTELY condemning the acts of 9-11 and all terrorism coming out the the Middle East (no and, ifs or buts about it). Else you will continue to be portrayed otherwise. BTW, I have yet to see any Islamic Clerics in the U.S. do what I just said. They have all pre-qualified there statements with things like U.S. Midlle East policy, or Palestine/Israeli situation.....
