A swedish mosque was approached by demonstrators who wanted to tear the place down for being muslim. The vice chairman of the swedish muslim association or what it's called was there himself, unaware of the news. As I said a long time before, damn these people for tearing down a religion's image for all the surviving believers.

I heard of the tragic news this afternoon at approximately 14:40 GMT while at work. At first I thought it a sick joke by one of the lads in the IT department, but my scepticism soon turned to shock as a guy from the finance department confirmed it.
Anyone who could, ran for a TV set and stood in shock as they watched the carnage unfold before them thousands of miles away. Words escape me as I try to describe how I felt as I watched the scenes before me. The sight of those buildings collapsing, the people trapped inside, the panic stricken people outside, the emergency services people helpless to stop the horrific events, and the fate of the innocent people in the hijacked planes is something that will remain with me - with all of us - forever.
I know I speak for all those here at Broxtowe College Nottingham when I say that we are deeply shocked and angered by the events today. Our hearts, thoughts and prayers go out to you all.

JeffK , the PA plane was not shot down , Witnesses say it came down on its own.
Anti Islamic sentiments are growing all over , I wouldnt be surprised if poor innocent Muslims are being dragged into the streets. The sad part is that the silent Majority suffers for the sins of the vocal minority , in this case the fanatic Islamic organizations or if I want to be totally direct. These Organizations that HIDE under the name of Islam so as to pervert the religion into their own docterine and use it to justify their hatred.
I too fear that this could turn into the same thing Japanesse Americans faced after Pearl Harbor.
I think we should all remember that out of the tens of thousands who lost their lives , were members of all races and creeds and under whatever skin color or religious belief they were Americans same as any other.

Maybe a decision not to take responsibility is logical. The hijackers die in the greatest glory of martyrdom, to accept being anonymous, leaving no target for the US to retaliate against, comfortable in (their) belief that the whole muslim world will silently support it, without anyone becoming a target. Win-win situation.
Maybe they studied Tom Clancy movies and decided NOT to leave a face on a "arrogant confession" tape, nor any sound tapes that Tom Cruise or Peter Graves or MacGyver could decipher and deny them a computer file with perfect mugshots on the perpetrators.

I was watching the news at school today. and they said it was too early to confirm any accusations to any known terrorist groups. Has that been changed? i saw the pictures on T.V. of the people in the WTC above where the plane hit. they were waving a piece of cloth out the window when the building collapsed. I'll always remember that. Ireally don't want this, but i'd like to see those responible SKINNED ALIVE. and have thier half rotten carcasses fed to rats.
-------------------- Grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change. The courage to change the things I cannot accept. And the wisdom to hide the bodies of all the people I had to kill today because they pissed me off.

I just saw the other building close to WTC, a 47-story one, that also went down. Just sunk down vertically, like a professional wrecking blow, no tipping. I'm starting to think about that preset bomb theory.

My fianc�e's best friend work with someone whose husband was over in New York on business - at the WTC. She was panicking until she got a call from him from his hotel - he didn't feel too good so didn't go in today.

An old friend of mine just phoned and told me his sister worked in the WTC complex he is now working on getting some kind of transportation to New York ...
I'm hoping she is as lucky as your friend Lee.

My God... To think I heard about this on the Doug Banks show.The worst terrorist attack in the history of the world. To tell you the truth, I was (am) scared. Sorry I am just telling you.

Vogon Poet ...then he'll be thanking his lucky stars for the rest of his life. I've been in the offices of those towers, and to the observation deck at the top - on more than one occasion. This is the most horrific thing I've think I've heard of, and witnessed in my life. Words can't express my utter shock, and dismay at this whole atrocity.
It is as some have said like a disaster movie - ever watched 'Executive Decision'? it's as close to this scenario as any other. But could one really believe this could happen at this scale in real life? I couldn't, and it is why I'm so very shaken and upset, as we all are tonight.
There is no description other than EVIL for what these people have done. They must have their reasons. And if it really is indeed Islam extremists responsible for this, then it must be that in their twisted eyes and fanatic souls they see us as the infidel; we are the evil ones; us and our democracy. But they are incorrect. Alright our western world and its way of life is not perfect, we have a multiude of problems that still pervade society, but how could they do this!!? Other than the political situation and the believed sympathy for the Israelis, we would not, and could not use images and ideals of our Gods to strike down human beings of other faiths in acts of appalling mass terrorism.
Justice, and I say justice, not simple blind retaliation, should be tough and absolute, but not until the culprits have been identified without doubt. But one must have fears that many other inncocent lives might be lost in this process, and then this whole darned situation could blow horribly out of control - this must be prevented, lest this trigger the real 'end of days'.
My thoughts and prayers go out to all those killed and injured, or otherwise affected, and may our heads remain composed, and hearts not swell with the exact same anger and desires for vengeful violence of those that in the beginning perpetrated this terrible act.

Reasons that I've heard for the attack... as for which is true I don't know.
15th anniversary of the Camp David Accords the signing of the peace treaty between the Palistinians and the Israelis.
September 11th: International Day of Peace, as christened by the UN in 1981.
Also, today is also the day back in 1970 the U.S. reckonized Isreal as an Independent Country. Since then, we (the U.S.) have been marked.
One of Bin Laden's people was to go on trial tomorrow at a court near the WTC.

Or, for another thing odd, look at the date today is being compared to. Dec. 7th ... Sept 11th ... 7/11. Obviously, this strike was coordinated by Arab workers to show unity for Arabs working at 7/11's ...
