Israel Remembers 9/11

United with Israel  " Israel remembered the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks on Sunday with a memorial at the 9/11 Living Memorial in Jerusalem.
"“September 11th, to quote former U.S. President Roosevelt is ‘a date which will live in infamy,’” said Deputy Foreign Minister Danny Ayalon, speaking at the event. “Even 10 years after the horrendous terror attack, we are still shaken to our core by the enormity of this heinous and cowardly act.”"



9/11 anniversary: across the Islamic world opinion is against the militants   "One key factor in the rejection of militant extremism from Morocco to Malaysia appears to be the proximity of violence. In country after country, support for Osama bin Laden, for al-Qaida's methods or for violence against civilians, relatively high when the attacks occurred thousands of miles away, declined steeply when militants struck at home."....

"One of the most dramatic examples of this shift of opinion happened in Jordan: before the hotel bombings in Amman, in November 2005, support for suicide bombing (outside Israel-Palestine) stood at 57%, according to Pew; that declined to 12% by 2009, dropping by more than half in the months after the hotel attack."
