http://www.socialist-alliance.org/page.php?page=36 Today commemerates the tragic suicide attack upon the World Trade Center, and Pentagon. It was one of the events which touched off the age of terror which we now live under. The Islam practiced by the Al Qaeda terrorists is reactionary, and medeival, in nature. But this also reminds me of Guy Fawkes Day http://www.infoplease.com/spot/guyfawkes.html, which is when we remember when Catholic terrorists attempted to blow up the English Parliment. Note however how Roman Catholicism has adapted, and modernised itself, since then. I can only hope that some day Islam might likewise come to peaceful terms with the western world. The U.S.A. currently has two congressmen who are muslim, Andre Carson, and Keith Ellison. People around the world sould realise that we give opportunities for success, and freedom, to people of all faiths, and/or beliefs. It's this american way, and american dream, which we all should struggle to defend.
