Yes, I was 17 at the time. Muslims committed a mass murder, because they were true believers in their violent cult. Immediately afterwards, Scientologist cultists cynically volunteered to help with the cleanup, in order to generate good PR for their cult, and Jerry Falwell, a Christian cultist, intimated that the murder was a punishment from god on america for permitting homosexuality and various strains of feminism. I was already not religious at the time, and the event took place at an important stage in my mental growth. It did much to cement my atheism, a view from which I have never strayed, as it simultaneously exposed the stupidity of all major cults, and certain minor ones.

Anons will want to rebut the above in several ways: by pointing to American mass murder, communist mass murder, apologizing for Christianity, and so on. I reject these criticisms pre-emptively, for a variety of reasons: the "other people/governments do much bigger mass murders too" is a whataboutism which is beside the point of what this particular event made clear to me, confirming my worldview. As to apologia for religion, I of course reject this as well on philosophical grounds.

9/11 proved to me, in the most dramatic and memorable fashion possible, that religion a shit. And it always will be. *tips*

Adding to this, part of the reason why I'm so happy that Trump is president right now is because he's pro-America, AND IS CLEARLY NOT A CHRISTIAN. A republican/conservative policy-oriented head of state who is also not motivated by sincere religious beliefs, is the best of all possible worlds. George W. Bush was a sincere Christian, a true believer. Trump regularly shat on the Bush family during the campaign, and makes the odd dig every so often, even today. Good.

OH NO NOT AGAIN *WHIRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR*

have you actually heard al qaeda's side of the story?

>I say to you, Allah knows that it had never occurred to us to strike the towers. But after it became unbearable and we witnessed the oppression and tyranny of the American/Israeli coalition against our people in Palestine and Lebanon, it came to my mind.

The attacks of of 9/11 were the greatest work of art imaginable for the whole cosmos. Minds achieving something in an act that we couldn't even dream of in music, people rehearsing like mad for 10 years, preparing fanatically for a concert, and then dying, just imagine what happened there. You have people who are that focused on aperformance and then 5,000 people are dispatched to the afterlife, in a single moment. Composers, artists, too, sometimes try to go beyond the limits of what is feasible and conceivable, so that we wake up, so that we open ourselves to another world. It's a crime because those involved didn't consent. They didn't come to the 'concert'. That's obvious. And no one announced that they risked losing their lives. What happened in spiritual terms, is the leap out of security, out of the everyday, what is usually taken for granted, out of life, that sometimes happens to a small extent in art, too. Otherwise, art is nothing

Yes. I was 11.

>THE DID IT BECAUSE THEY HATE OUR FREEDOM

Imagine if it happened now

forgot.

Same. It's really weird. I remember watching the news the weeks following it and all the clean up but I don't remember the day itself.

How about you read is whole essay. Other justifications he give is because he believed American culture was degenerate. Durka Durka

I think I saw news about it only next day, I remember only dad saying "wow it seemed like a movie".

I don't think it was a conspiracy but I do feel the aftermath was incredibly fucking forced. Americans don't give a shit when people die; look at the complete apathy following every school shooting or how they treat their veterans. The WTC was full of nothing but sleazy moneymovers, like stop pretending it bothered you that much more than kids getting their noggins full of bullets for the crime of goingt o school.

Yes, I was the Challenger

Now I feel old

>September 11 is the symbol of the end of this utopia, a return to real history. A new era is here with new walls everywhere, between Israel and Palestine, around the EU, on the US-Mexico and Spain-Morocco borders. It is an era with new forms of apartheid and legalised torture. As President Bush said after September 11, America is in a state of war. But the problem is that the US is not in a state of war. For the large majority, daily life goes on and war remains the business of state agencies. The distinction between the state of war and peace is blurred. We are entering a time in which a state of peace itself can be at the same time a state of emergency.
