I don’t know if this belongs here. In fact, it probably doesn’t, but I don’t know where else to put it. There may well have been Muslims (besides the murderers) on the hijacked planes. There were almost certainly some Muslims in the World Trade Center. There may have been Muslim cops, Muslim rescue workers and Muslims in the Pentagon. They – and all their fellow victims and all the surviving rescuers – have earned their places in whatever Paradises their minds could have conceived. ---

If you read some of the Middle East online newspapers they tend to give another side of the stories: > **[Khaleej Times - Dubai News, UAE News, Gulf, News, Latest news, Arab news,...](https://www.khaleejtimes.com/)** > > Khaleej Times provides complete UAE news and international news coverage and online utilities like Dubai Gold Price, Dubai Draft Rate, UAE Exchange Rate, and more. 13 Sept 2001. 25 Jamadi Al Thani, 1422. No evidence to link UAE nationals to ill-fated jets ``` "THE UAE and the United States have no evidence that any UAE nationals were aboard hijacked planes that smashed into US buildings on Tuesday, a UAE government source said yesterday." ``` ---

But we do too have evidence. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/news-from-kabul/81110.md?page=1)
