[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I noticed the same thing. There are shows on tv today but not nearly as many as in past years.  One of our ds has spirit week this week and today's dress out of uniform is to dress patriotic and they are doing a memorial service at school.

As we do every year we will watch and discuss with our kids. The events were impactful in my dh and I's lives and we want to make sure our kids don't forget what happened. As others have said, we are so sad at the state of our nation and [b]miss the American spirit that was present in the days right after 9/11.[/b][/quote]

I mostly remember the hate directed towards Muslims and the useless wars that followed in the aftermath of 9/11.[/quote]

Part of that was the Muslim community never spoke out immediately and forcefully condemning the actions that took place in 9/11. PR wise was a terrible decision. In addition, they should have volunteered or donated to 9-11 causes.

In addition some Muslim counties in actual school text books had 9/11 never happened. WTC was a hologram and names of people died were govt employees who were put in a sort of witness protection and issued new identities. There were tons of websites with this propaganda. [/quote]

You may not realize this but there is no ONE Muslim community. We don't have a Vatican or a papacy that can issue an official statement. So I'm not sure who THEY is who should have volunteered or donated to causes. Even your local mosques that you'd find in Reston or Baltimore or wherever - people come and pray and only socialize amongst their nationality at the mosque, if any. So yeah Somali Muslims vs. Indian Muslims vs. Saudi Muslims are entirely different people aside from the manner of prayer - their politics, views, and languages vary. Even then mosques DID put out statements condemning - so IDK what you were looking for. I'm guessing what you really wanted is your Muslim neighbor up the street to show up tears in her eyes begging forgiveness and handing you a homemade dessert, so you could pat her on the head telling her it's ok - you know she's one of the good ones. Sorry but we had our hands full at that time with you all glaring at us and spitting on us when we had to do mundane things like grocery shop and not get fired at work.

And you may also find it shocking but an individual 26 or 45 year old Muslim living in the US has zero control over how Saudi or Iran or whatever country teaches its 7th grade social studies classes. They're not asking our opinion. Again I'm very sorry about that.[/quote]
