There is no doubt that as a student of early islam and Arabic the 9/11 atrocity was a wake up in regard to what islam is all about (and no it is not a religion of peace it is not even a religion it is nothing but poor ideology and is just as bad as communism) and the sad thing I already knew that.

The crimes of Islam and muslims and the sufferings of the great civilizations and human beings under Islam and Arabian imperialism are too many to count. And shame on your friends the Pakistanis and wannabe Arabs that now they are the ones exporting the religion and the imperialism of the Arabs that brutalized their own ancestors

May be you need to read Yeats' great poem "Lapis Lazuli" his great poem of loss but also of hope and the old civilizations that "were put to the sword" and that "old civilizations are not conjured away" not by Islam or Arabian imperialism.
