It will be interesting to see who carried this out... (or who the USA wants us to believe carried this out - wait for the fingers to start waiving at Usaamah bin Laden).

Assalaamu alaikum wa rahmatullah

SubhanAllah, I was just listening to an audio lecture last night, in which ALL of the speakers were urging the Muslims in the U.S. to take advantage of their freedom in the U.S. and continue to aid in the growth of Islam before it's too late, because apparently our freedom won't last long, as history tells us.  Our hope and our success is with Allah (swt), so make du'aa that truth stands clear from error.  As we all know, the TRUTH will prevail, we just have to be more actionary, rather than reactionary.

IF EVER there was a time for too-late-da'wah, it would be now, folks.

Right now, there are literally hundreds of chat sites that are blasting Muslims, Arabs, Palestinians, etc, all before anyone has clear evidence of who has committed these acts.  IF anything, wAllahu'alim, I think it would be a good idea to get on there, and voice level-headed opinions and facts about the US's role in acting with impunity against other countries, now feigning innocence in it's own role to win enemies.  Predictable result for siding with a terrorist nation for too long (israel), not that I condone senseless killing, I won't get into that.  You may think of better solutions i'A, if so, please share, jAk.

This media frenzy is exactly the kinda stage set for ad-dajjal, wAllahu'alim (national panic, call for a single leader, etc)...alhamdulillah, we should have the first 10 ayahs of Surat-al-Kahf memorized, as it is a protection from ad-dajjal (jAk, Kashif, for asking us to memorize that if we had not already).
May Allah protect us, make us steadfast, and guide us to the words and actions that will please Him, aameen.  La hawla wa la quwatta illa billah, there is no power or might save with Allah.

This is the story which the website was referring to.

100% unconfirmed of course so read it in that light


(16:45) BBC: Palestinian group says responsible for WTC attack
By Miriam Shaviv



The Democratic Front for the Liberation of Palestine has claimed responsibility for the attacks on the World Trade Center, according to the BBC and Abu Dhabi television. However, DFLP sources have denied any involvement.

To read more about the group, click here.

It is unclear who is responsible for today's apparent terrorist attack on the World Trade Center in New York, but it is unlikely that Palestinian groups are involved, said an expert on international terrorism.

"They have a lot to lose because America would react very harshly against the Palestinians, however it is not impossible that a radical group was involved," said Eli Carmon, of the Herzliya Interdisciplinary Center's counter-terrorism department.

Two jets, one of them apparently an American Airlines 767 hijacked from Boston, crashed into the Twin Towers shortly before 9 am. EST.

Carmon noted that the World Trade Center has been targeted once before in 1993, when a bombing killed six people and injured more than 1,000. Carmon said that there have been threats by unidentified Islamic groups to target the World Trade Center again if Sheikh Omar Abdul Rahman, the militant Egyptian cleric, who is serving a life sentence in the US after his conviction in a plot to bomb the United Nations and New York landmarks, was not released.

He added that it is possible that terrorist mastermind Osama Bin-Laden is also involved.

Carmon said that the alleged terrorist attack amounts to a "declaration of war" on the US, and that the US will have to "react in an extremely harsh manner."

Israel, he noted, had already envisioned the possibility of an air attack, and shot down a small plane that took off from Lebanon in May after it flew menacingly into Israeli airspace.

slm,

Insha'Allah, I pray that this was *not* the act of ANY Muslim.  May Allah guide us and protect us in this life and the next, Ameen.

On ABC news they just showed video of Palestinians dancing in the street out of joy for what happened to America, chanting "Allahu Akbar" :(

Innocent people, childen, and babies were killed,  I don't think they understand the severity of what just happened.  America may have wronged much of the Muslim world, but I pray that as Muslims we understand that the death of THOUSANDS of innocent people is not a cause for celebration.

Ya Allah guide us to the TRUTH, and keep us on the STRAIGHT path, never let our intentions get diverted and save us from misguidance.  May Allah help the people who lost innocent family members today. And as always, May Allah (SWT) help the suffering Muslims around the world. Ameen

Take Care everyone,

They mentioned on the news that 50,000 people work in those 2 buildings, not to mention how many thousands of people work/live in the nearby vicinity.  ALL air traffic in the US has been stopped completely.  No planes are allowed to take off, and all international planes coming into the US have been diverted to Canada, but I heard they have closed the airports there as well.  The border with Mexico is closed completely as well.

what I can't understand is how come nobody found out, from Air Traffic control to the Intelligence bureu, surely somebody must have been alerted that 'heck' we've got two planes hijacked. And maybe they could have at least disabled one of the planes by using F-16 fighters rather than going all the way to the Pentagon and to the World Trade Center. I'm sure the Air Traffic is controlled by flight controllers on the land, but I can't understand if a plane took a different direction or route than one scheduled why no Alarm bells rang.

From what I heard on the news, they did know that at least one of the flights was hijacked.  But really, what can be done when something like that happens?  I don't think shooting at the airline is an option, it wouldn't go over too well with the public.  No one imagined what could have happened.

They could have at least monitored the plane and provide an F-16 escort. I think at the WhiteHouse they have SAM's in situations like the one today, where they WOULD bring the plane down if it was going to crash into the WhiteHouse.

Taliban Condemn Attacks In U.S.

Tuesday September 11, 2001 5:50 PM


KABUL, Afghanistan (AP) - Afghanistan's hardline Taliban rulers condemned the devastating terrorist attacks in New York and Washington on Tuesday and rejected suggestions that Osama bin Laden could be behind them.

The Taliban's ambassador to neighboring Pakistan, Abdul Salam Zaeef, said bin Laden, the Saudi dissident who has been given asylum in this troubled nation, does not have the facilities needed to carry out such well-orchestrated attacks.

``It is premature to level allegations against a person who is not in a position to carry out such attacks,'' he said. ``It was a well-organized plan and Osama has no such facilities.''

U.N. sanctions are currently in place against Afghanistan to press the Taliban to hand over bin Laden for trial in connection with the 1998 bombings of two U.S. Embassies in East Africa that killed 224 people.

The Taliban, a religious militia, promotes a harsh brand of Islam in the roughly 95 percent of Afghanistan under its control.

Thanks Meraj and Princess. I was just watching the news and they say they have reports and not generalizations that it was Osama bin Laden behind the attack. Will keep watching though.

I think its a great idea to join the major CNN etc newsboards but it still feels scarey to know that you have to wake up tomorrow morning and face people who are likely to generalize and feel hostility towards you for the attack. Someone who posted previously was right, life for muslims is going to be even harder in the West IF it was an Islamic militant group behind the attack.:(

By the way are there any signs of the last day, (like the smoke) that are relevant to todays tragic events? Just curious. Everything happens for a reason and I am pretty sure today is no exception.

        AsalamAlay.com,
        Peace and e-Greetings be upon you.

        Usually, from my balcony in downtown Toronto,
        I have an unobstructed panoramic view of the skies
        above the Pearson Internation AIrport.

        It was eerily silent, seeing the sky without
        planes, noise or those light white streaks left
        in the high sky as planes fly above toronto.

        The entire city seemed quiet and shut down.

        This is Canada.

        I think, like me, most everyone is just indoors
        watching TV.

        About 12% of my city's population is Muslim.

        It's Wednesday morning now, and it's still quiet.

We may never know who was behind this or what their reasoning was. The only thing I am worried about is what will happen to the poor innocent Muslims in this country or the one's abroad. I have a feeling the US will bomb the heck out of Afghanistan or Palestine for revenge.

Don't they get that they are doing the same thing as the terrorists?? Punishing innocent people based upon the actions of a few.

A wave of apprehension and fear is sweeping through the Arab and Muslim communities of the United States in the wake of the attacks on the World Trade Centre and the Pentagon.

Members of the Arab-American and Muslim communities have already received death threats and several have been attacked as Americans lash out in anger against those they see as responsible.

Dr James Zogby, president of the Arab American Institute told BBC News Online it had been a trauma for all Americans, including Arab-Americans, many of whom had lost friends and relatives in the disaster.

"Arab-Americans are as afraid, grieving and mourning as everyone else. But for us it's a double tragedy, because while we grieve, we're forced to look over our shoulder."

Dr Zogby said he had received several death threats and was arranging security for his office.

"I take such threats seriously since my office was fire-bombed in 1980," he said.

Media lessons

Ibrahim Hooper of the Council on American-Islamic Relations said such attacks were common when there was a crisis of this type, but that this time the scale was very different: "It's such a horrific incident".

Mr Hooper said it was too early to tell what the long-term impact would be, but the media appeared to have learnt some lessons since the Oklahoma bombing.

Then, there were over 200 anti-Muslim incidents reported in the first couple of days after the bombing.

Mr Hooper said this time the press coverage had been quite balanced, apart from a few pro-Israeli commentators who had been trying to exploit the situation.

Prejudice in the air

But Dr Zogby was more critical. Some television stations had been guilty of feeding the speculation over who the perpetrators were, he said.

"In some cases there's a self-imposed pressure to fill time with idle chatter. So called experts are called in, people with prejudices, who fill the air time with speculation about who did it and in some cases say 'go get the Arabs'."

"What we're saying is: don't assume collective guilt or rush to judgement."

Dr Zogby had been due to attend a Democratic Party National Committee meeting this week, which has now been postponed.

The meeting was set to pass a resolution on protecting the rights of the Arab-American community which would decry some of the negative stereotyping that is prevalent in US society, he said.

"Now, more than ever, this issue needs to be addressed," said Dr Zogby.

There are between 6m and 7m American Muslims and around 3m Americans who have roots in the Arab world.

Assalamualaikum,
Yes i think it is going to be harder for us muslims in the U.S. I go to a Islamic
School and when we heard about the news and after we got those 2 bomb threats
which by the way were the first 2 our school has ever gotten, we called the Security
Guard and since we have 2 gates to come into the school we closed one gate, then
after a little while this lady comes up and starts cursing at the security guard
and says how we muslims are terrorists and everything and then leaves. Then at
Maghrib when I went to prayer some people called and said they were worried about
us cause most people believe it was muslims who did it, so they made 2 police come
and said they will have to stay here so Allhamdullilah nothing happened after
that but i know some people who had to hear people curse at them simply cause they
were wearing a scarf one of them was my teacher who said when she was coming to
school she stopped at a traffic light and then this guy who was was in the other
car next to her started cursing at her and said how muslim's were terrorists she
turned to him and said "You know what I am you, I'm from upstate New York, where
just from a different Religion."  We should jst pray that Allah makes this easier
for us and people will soon see that we Muslims aren't terrorists or that we are
not happy cause this happened I can understan why Palestinians were cheering when
this happened cause they said now America see's what we have to go through
everyday. But like I said may Allah make this easier for us.

asalaam alaikum dear friends -

i am very disturbed, as im sure many of you are. the drastic turn of events has really taken a toll on my heart. and to tell you all the truth, im extremely scared. not only for my own life, but for the lives of many of my fellow muslims. ive heard so many scary stories about the anger some ignorant americans are exerting towards muslims in general, instead of focusing on the main problem: one unknown terrorist who has taken a very wrong move and therefore jepordized the rest of us. yes, like jannah, i strongly suggest you all visit cnn.com, abc.com, etc etc and post your support and your CLEAR condemnation of the terrorist acts that have taken place. and please!! think before you post...clearly state that islam is pro-life in all cases....the prophet (saw) even restricted his armies from damaging surrounding wildlife, harming innocent women, children, and old people DURING a time of war...no way would ANY true muslim, or anyone following the tenents of islam ever suggest such a crazy and hateful act upon innocent city goers.

also, sisters and brothers...PLEASE DONT TRY TO BE HEROIC. please try to be safe and make duaa that Allah (SWT) protect us all. do not leave your homes unless neccessary. this is a very dangerous time for all people from the mid-east....indians, iranians, pakistanis, arabs, etc etc....even a sikh man was attacked in boston this morning. please be safe.

Allah (SWT) knows best. May He protect us. AMEEN.

brothers and sisters.. we gotta be extra careful...especially if ur livin in the West...i'm in the UK and i heard on the news that our central mosque in Birmingham was constantly recieving threats.. so sad :(

y'all take care...like a sister said..stay in doors unless u absoloutly *have to* go out the house..that applies to bro's aswell as sis's..
