And this morning I read in a hotel USA Today that factcheckers say the opposite--that the Donald is incorrect. /S
Myself, I remember the rumors of celebrations in NJ at the time, and I've seen the calendar artwork, and everybody has seen the Pali ululator. There were enough happy Muslims, wherever they were located, to arouse my dislike. A detailed historical research record shouldn't be necessary to tell people what many of them know.
Time may heal wounds, but not this one, and not this soon. And, to my mind, Muslims have done very little to reverse the impression, including the sneaky one in the White Mosque.
I recall the initial response was along the lines of "don't take it out on us." I don't recall them condemning the attacks. I recall them shaming Americans and asking for special protection.
"Don't come after us." Strange sentiments from "Americans."

I also remember the news reports about the celebrating Muslims and I agree completely with your opinion.
GW really did this country a disservice by calling Islam a religion of peace, etc. He didn’t defend himself, ever, and that was bad enough, but by not calling a spade a spade, he harmed this country (although I don’t believe he meant to do that). It’s just, give the MSM an inch .... and here we are, having to do research to support a known fact.
