    For many non-Black Muslims, 9/11 forced an uncomfortable and dangerous visibility. Black Muslims have been there all along.

    Muslim Americans were not invented on September 11, 2001. Our history with New York, and the rest of the country for that matter, far precedes those attacks. Some of the earliest arrivals were on slave ships that crossed the Atlantic.

    The Arab men in the bodega did not think I spoke Arabic nor that I understood the ugly things they were saying about Marcus.I confronted them in rage at the fuckery of being Muslims who were anti-Black in NYC at a time when Muslims were being subjected to the fuckery of profiling

    A year and five months after 9/11, I began a relationship with a Black American man in NYC. We lived together for three years during which we boycotted the Arab-owned bodega in our Manhattan neighbourhood because of the racism of the men behind the counters.

    And paranoia: just before I left, a group of Muslim men had been stopped on the highway. Apparently, a customer at a diner they’d just frequented had heard them speaking Arabic (not sure how she knew it was Arabic and called the police, saying they were acting “suspiciously.”

    When I signed my divorce papers, I packed for a new job and life in New York City and I got into my car to drive there. For 18 days – just America and me.

    A year after 9/11, I left my husband. Not because he was an American and I an Egyptian, nothing to do with culture or religion; nothing to do with 9/11. We brought out the worst in each other.

    Two weeks after 9/11, a group of young men asked the white American husband of a Pakistani-American woman I knew in Seattle “What's it like to fuck a terrorist?"

    “My brother is a cardiologist in a country that refuses to stand still and allow its heart to heal, choosing revenge and mass destruction instead. My sister-in-law delivers babies in a country whose exceptionalism will not allow it to birth a better version of itself.”

    “Thirty eight years before 9/11, the bombing of Birmingham’s Sixteenth Street Baptist Church, killed four young Black girls who had just got out of Bible class.” Ah, Thank you for connecting them. They are connected and my heart has been broken over it always

    As a middle aged white male in the reddest of areas in my state, your work is like opening the windows of my mind, after a long winter and letting in fresh ideas while pushing out the old stale patriarchal world I was ingrained with. Thank you for this article, it’s amazing.

    Remember our prayer in NYC in 2005 was 2yrs after the US invaded al-Sadr’s country Iraq, in its war of revenge--along with the war on Afghanistan-- for 9/11, leading directly or indirectly to the deaths of almost half a million Iraqis. Sadr replied “Allow a woman to lead prayer.”

    A BBC documentary filmmaker told me that during his interview soon after our prayer with Iraqi cleric Muqtader al-Sadr - usually described as “hardline” and “fiery” in western media - he asked Sadr what was the worst thing the US had done.

    A woman leading one hundred people in prayer would inspire people to extremist violence, rather than than oppression, torture and corruption of regimes such as those led by Qaddafi and his fellow dictators at that Arab League summit.
