"I am a Muslim. I am an American. As an American Muslim, I want to express my deep sadness and anguish at the tremendous loss of life that occurred on Tuesday.
Islam is a religion of peace. Islam does not promote terrorism or the killing of people.
I cannot sit by and let the world think that Islam is a killing religion. It hurts me to see what radical people are doing in the name of Islam. These radicals are doing things that God is against. Muslims do not believe in violence.
If the culprits are Muslim, they have twisted the teachings of Islam. Whoever performed, or is behind, the terrorist attacks in the United States of America does not represent Islam. God is not behind assassins. Anyone involved in this must pay for their evil.
I pray that God blesses the people and families of those who were killed, and our great country."Muhammad Ali
“I wish to express my heartfelt horror at the indiscriminate terrorist attacks committed against innocent people of the United States yesterday.
While it is still not clear who carried out the attacks, it must be stated that no right thinking follower of Islam could possibly condone such an action: the Qur'an equates the murder of one innocent person with the murder of the whole of humanity.
We pray for the families of all those who lost their lives in this unthinkable act of violence as well as all those injured; I hope to reflect the feelings of all Muslims and people around the world whose sympathies go out to the victims at this sorrowful moment.”Yusuf Islam (Cat Stevens)
America speaks……..to the perpetrators:
The day before yesterday, we walked in peace as many groups; free to discuss, differ, choose and pursue our individual dreams.
Today you have galvanized all Americans together.
We stand United as One Nation under God; Indivisible, with Liberty and Justice for all.
We will most assuredly mete justice to you.
You can never understand the true “American spirit”.
Today you revel in your “victory”.
Yesterday, your cowardly ambush captured the lives and injured many innocent Americans. Anyone could ambush the innocent and vulnerable. Your God is ashamed of your methods and madness, not proud, as you so ridiculously believe.
Today, we tend to our wounded and departed. And deeply mourn. Tomorrow our mourning will turn to anger.
Tomorrow we will focus on finding you and those who helped you. Tomorrow you will suffer for your acts of cowardice. Once you realize the inevitable, you will then understand terror. That’s the price you’ll pay for being a terrorist.Tomorrow we will honor those who suffered and died.
Tomorrow we will rebuild bigger and stronger.
Yesterday you attacked the sleeping giant.
Yesterday we wrote you a new song;
“nowhere to run, nowhere to hide”.
Today we work and plan and think and pray.
Today “Our head is bloody, but unbowed”.Jack Barker, Orlando, Fl.
I was on my back, facing this massive cloud that was approaching, it must have been 600 feet off, everything was already dark. I normally wear a pendant around my neck, inscribed with an Arabic prayer for safety; similar to the cross. A hesidic Jewish man came up to me and held the pendant in his hand, and looked at it. He read the Arabic out loud for a second. What he said next, I will never forget. With a deep Brooklyn accent he said Brother, if you dont mind, there is a cloud of glass coming at us, grab my hand, lets get the hell out of here. He helped me stand up, and we ran for what seemed like forever without looking back. He was the last person I would ever have thought, who would help me. If it weren't for him, I probably would have been engulfed in shattered glass and debris.---My name is Usman Farman and I graduated from Bentley with a Finance degree last May. I am 21 years old, turning 22 in October; I am Pakistani, and I am Muslim. Until September 10th 2001, I used to work at the World Trade Center in building #7. I had friends and acquaintances who worked in tower #1 right across from me. Some made it out, and some are still unaccounted for. I survived this horrible event.
