While I can appreciate your thoughts regarding the terrible thing that happened to the victims of 9/11 and their families, please don't ignore the damage done to good people of the Islamic faith. They are not all murderers, just as the American Indians were not all killers and not all Germans were members of the **** SS. Many of them now rightly live in fear, even though they have done nothing wrong and are decent American citizens. They are no more guilty of any crime than the thousands of Japanese Americans we rounded up and imprisoned during WWII.
A megalomaniac, not much different from Adolph Hitler, Benito Mussolini or Joseph Stalin who happens to be named Osama Bin Laden planned and executed these attacks. He is still laughing at us. Direct your anger at him, and encourage your Government to find and bring him to justice!

I choose to live in peace with all peoples. But it is never wise to be ignorant of the world's religions and not fully understand them.

Unfortunately, the tone and text of your post does not bare this out. You seem to be more concerned with the feelings of the minority of Muslims that have been mistreated since 9/11 than the victims that will suffer for the rest of their lives having seen loved ones killed. We never even hear the stories of rescue workers who continue to suffer and die because of inhaling smoke, fumes, asbestos, and other contaminants from that day. I can assure you, that pain never goes away, and cannot in ANY WAY be compared to someone who has had something mean said to them. So let's be more compassionate towards them than a few people who are offended, if at all possible.

Actually, if you read the Qur'an-as I did approximately 2 years ago-you will discover that all non-believers are to be killed. The media's claim that people like Osama Bin Laden are "fanatics" is actually false. He is doing precisely what his religion commands him to do. That is why he is a national hero in many many nations.

Until the news stops highlighting it, and people learn that we are all equal ... it's going to haunt us.

You know, unless you're a redskin, your an immigrant too. If YOU don't like it, why not take yourself back to YOUR homeland? The ignorance here is just stupid sometimes.

There you go. So with that being said, I'm not sure I see the problem with one news story about muslims on 9/11.
Every news paper, radio station, publication around the world, yesterday, made a note or payed tribute to 9/11, which was now 8 years ago and will probably continue to do so for the next 50 years. What more do you guys want? It's not OK to report on another angle of the same story?
No other event in our worlds history get's talked about as much as 9/11, and while it's a horrible thing, there are many more larger tragidys in the worlds history. This one is just news worthy because it happened on U.S. soil. You wanna talk favoritism, that's it right there.

Who gives a damn about the Muslims or the Muslim religion? And whether it was a Muslim or a Christian terrorist group who did this, it is about those who suffered from it, not those who caused it or share similar things with those who caused it. I am remembering the fallen, not the religion.
Get off this bull**** already with your bleeding friggin' hearts-- boohoo what about the Muslims who didn't do anything? Ok, what about them?
How about we honor the Fire Fighters, Police, EMS, Civilians, Soldiers, and everyone else who stepped up that day to help whoever needed help and over come their own personal tragedies?
Why are we worried about a f--kin religion?
I hope a mod shuts this down. I can't believe this crap.
And as a soldier, I am so sick of hearing about this. What about the Muslims who didnt do anything, what about the baby seals in the ocean who didn't do anything?
Shut up.
