I hadn't really locked on to this quote in the rest of the fuckery.

"and not only did the Islamic world in general show indecent glee about the attack "

Yeah. the general Islamic world showed GLEE, INDECENT HEATHEN GLEE, over the attacks.

I think reactions were a bit more split than she thinks. I'm guessing a lot of muslims thought "oh, shit, the americans are gonna really fuck with us now"

The Muslims I know in NYC, where I live, thank you, expressed just the opposite.

In fact, for so many, there was rage, but the rage was, "THIS ISN'T SUPPOSED TO HAPPEN HERE! THIS IS WHY I CAME HERE SO I DIDN'T HAVE TO LIVE WHERE THIS HAPPENS!"

Love, c.

I'm not clear on whether you clicked that link that juliansinger provided up above. if not, it's a roundup of the global Muslim responses to 9/11.

I expected the Muslim American response to be similar to the one Japanese Americans had toward the bombing of Pearl Harbor - "I am an American, and I'm outraged that *you* people came to attack *us*, and I'm going to be unjustly associated with *you*."
