You know, the funny thing is -- one of the things I remember most vividly from the aftermath of 9/11 was the extent to which the opposite was true. Although there was this one shot of kids throwing a party in the Palestinian territories, which got replayed over and over and over, mostly people in the Muslim world reacted the same way as everyone else. On the official diplomatic level they offered national condolences; on a personal level, they left flowers outside of American embassies.
I googled just now to see what I could find, since it has been nine years, after all, and my memory is not perfect. According to Wikipedia, in Iran, huge crowds attended candlelight vigils, and 60,000 football fans held a moment of silence.
I found another site with images, though, which is more what I remember.
