      So it's 9/11. Hard to remember now how large the terrorist attack loomed in our national psyche; after all, in death toll Covid-19 is already the equivalent of 60 9/11s. But a few thoughts and recollections 1/

      Overall, Americans took 9/11 pretty calmly. Notably, there wasn't a mass outbreak of anti-Muslim sentiment and violence, which could all too easily have happened. And while GW Bush was a terrible president, to his credit he tried to calm prejudice, not feed it 2/

      Daily behavior wasn't drastically affected. True, for a while people were afraid to fly: my wife and I took a lovely trip to the U.S. Virgin Islands a couple of months later, because air fares and hotel rooms were so cheap. But life returned to normal fairly fast 3/

      On the other hand, I groan whenever I see some pundit describing the aftermath as a time of national unity. On the contrary, Republicans began exploiting the atrocity almost immediately — trying to use it to cut capital gains taxes within 48 hours 4/

      And of course the Bush team used 9/11 to take us into an unrelated and disastrous war. It's actually remarkable how many of the media-promoted "heroes" of 9/11 ended up revealed as horrible people. Remember Bernie Kerik? And will Giuliani ever get off my TV screen? 5/

      Almost two decades on, it's now clear that the real threat to America comes not from foreign terrorists but from home-grown white supremacists. But you know what? That was true even in 2001. 6/

          That last sentence was overstepping the argument. Jihadists were and are a big threat to all civilised societies.

          The man’s having a laugh. I made my Shahada in 2014 and since becoming a Muslim I have lost count how many times I’ve been told I should have my lap top looked at. That’s just one of the gentler things I’ve had thrown at me...I live in the UK the consequences for Muslims 1/2

          globally following 9/11 and the anti Muslim and illegal wars in Iraq and Afghanistan stirred the far right with leading politicians in the US and UK have allowed and, indeed, encouraged anti Muslim hate.

          I can draw a straight line from 9/11, exploitation there of and Trumpism. Let’s not underestimate how radically 9/11 changed America & the world.

          Ten years ago I sat at a table with a group of people, some of whom would be VERY recognizable names in the national security world, & argued domestic right wing terrorism was a serious growing threat. They all said I was being overly dramatic, it would never be a serious issue.
