After 9/11 attacks?

Question

1- were you convinced it was made my muslims?
2- Did it make you search for islamic sites or read about islam?
3- What was you reaction?

Answer 1

somebody like Osama Ben Laden is just carrying the title of Islam , US used to support them for a while before the disaster of 9/11 . i think Us is not an islamic country .

in islam killing a person is like killing all the people on earth en healing a person is like to heal all of them :

Because of this, we decreed for the Children of Israel that anyone who murders any person who had not committed murder or horrendous crimes, it shall be as if he murdered all the people. And anyone who spares a life, it shall be as if he spared the lives of all the people. Our messengers went to them with clear proofs and revelations, but most of them, after all this, are still transgressing. ( 5:32 )

You may fight in the cause of GOD against those who attack you, but do not aggress. GOD does not love the aggressors. (2:190)

koran just allows muslims to protect themsemves but not to agress .

Answer 2

1) Well, the initial reports were that it was an accident. Remember, no one knew it was a terrorist attack at the very beginning; that only became obvious after the second plane hit. But no, I didn't point my finger at Islamic radicals until they confirmed it on the news.
2) Not really. I didn't think that would do any good. The answer to why the attacks happened doesn't really lie in the Quran as much as it lies in understanding the fanaticism of certain radical sects of the religion. In other words, the terrorists don't represent Islam, they represent radical Islam, so just studying the book read by millions of peaceful Muslims all over the world wouldn't really accomplish much.
3) Reaction to what? The attacks? A horrible moment in American history, but the people who performed it don't represent all Muslims.

Answer 3

To be honest, I didn't know what to think. I was in a state of shock and grief for some time afterwards. I certainly didn't go hunting for scapegoats by searching islamic sites, nor was I convinced muslims were responsible, because I did not then see a link to religion, and I don't see one now either. The only links I can see are to the isreal/palestine problem.

Answer 4

Yes, I am convinced that it was made by Muslims.

Yes, it made me all the more interested to read about Muslims.

What I gather from my reading so far is that though many Muslims are ordinary people who also want peace and denounce violence, yet Islam itself is not a religion of peace, at least not the peace that most people think of when they think of peace. In Islam, peace means the conditions that will exist when people submit to Islam and is under Shariah Law.

Answer 5

May be that those who carried out 9/11 attacks were muslims, but that does not mean that every muslim backed or was behind them.
Acts of a few individuals cannot define a religion and all it's followers. Like Do you think every christian is like Hitler?

Answer 6

i was only in 8th grade when 9/11 happened.... but when ppl told me about i could not help but wonder, "why would someone do this?" for some reason.... it was as if Allah guarded my ears throughout these years..... but for some reason i never heard the word "Muslim" in connection wth it.

i was just convinced it was done by criminals. my family did a lot to instill in my that there are good and bad within every race and people. alhumdulilah, b/ i thought like this i am a Muslim today

peace and blessings to all,
Sakina

Answer 7

It was not difficult to believe 9/11 was committed by Muslims, since Osama Bin-Ladin took credit for it, and threatened the U.S with more attacks.

Answer 8

Just 2 months after 9/11 20,000 people converted to Islam, why because they really wanted to know is Islam is a terrorist religion. However it seemed that most of them were divinely inspired.

Answer 9

1. Seeing as how Osama bin-Laden proudly boasts responsibility for the act, yes.

2. It made me research the nature of Jihad and how it is being used by brainwashed nutcases to get into heaven as some kind of hero.

3. It made me realize that a group of animals who claim to be doing God's will can kill thousands of people and force a reaction that will have them on the run for the rest of their cowardly lives.

Answer 10

not at first, but then when the evidence showed it was, not to mention the fact Bin Laden amited to it I was convinced.

2. no, not really. I know the difference between fanatics and the religion.

3. mostly anger, but no surprise that it happend.
