Because the Pentagon was also attacked on Sept 11. (I know that the Twin Towers are a symbol, but everyone I have read is remembering them. And the people who died on the Pentagon also deserve a remembrance).
😳 I was forgetting. A group of young ex-Muslims are launching today a campaign for the right to abandon Islam, without reprisals. h/t O Insurgente.
Ehsan Jami, the committee’s founder, who rejected Islam after the attack on the twin towers in 2001, has become the most talked-about public figure in the Netherlands. He has been forced into hiding after a series of death threats and a recent attack.
(+) Lawhawk has a magnificent post with updates about Ground Zero. h/t Carl in Jerusalem.
Lady V
I as an American thank you from the bottom of my heart.
I hadn’t heard of Ehsan Jami, till now. A very provocative story to say the least.

VH:
You’re welcome. But someone has to remember the dead there.
I had not heard about Ehsan Jami either. But it’s a good initiative. I don’t expect it to be re-posted in many blogs in Spain, but the more exposure (and support) he can get, the better. So thanks for your link!
You are welcome. 🙂
LV,
I echo velvethammer: thank you so much for remembering this day for us.
Never Forget
On this anniversary of that awful day back in 2001, I still remember Mr. Christopher Colastani. And I always will. Forever…
Kate: You’re also welcome. 😆

Beth: Thanks for your compliment and your links.
And yes, the article is very interesting, mainly because they are ex-Muslims -so they know better than the rest what is all about- and they are asking for a right which I think everyone of us considers normal: the right to say you don’t believe any more in a religion, without being attacked or menaced. So a basic consequence of freedom.
