Staring Horror For Post-9/11 US Muslims
IN commemorating 9/11, the Associated Press remembers the victims of that unforgettable day:
There is the dread of leaving the house that morning. People might stare, or worse, yell insults. Prayers are more intense, visits with family longer. Mosques become a refuge.
From staring.
Eight years after 9/11, many U.S. Muslims still struggle through the anniversary of the attacks. Yes, the sting has lessened. For the younger generation of Muslims, the tragedy can even seem like a distant memory.
Everyone wants to be a victim, even those who weren’t murdered in 9/11. But the media spin does not end there. With victimhood establised, AP readers are told:
A significant number of U.S. Muslims contend that no one of their faith could have perpetrated the hijackings.
Never forget a crime against all sane humanity:
