A demon named Peace
Consider M.A. Khan a 9/12 Muslim. RTWT.
You hear from the media that only a small percentage of Muslims, the radicalized ones, support the 9/11 attacks. I can assure you that an overwhelming majority of believing Muslims feel a sense of justification for the 9/11 attacks. However, very few of them will confess it, especially when Western media do the survey.
I was, undoubtedly, very liberal, despite my upbringing in Muslim society. Never read the sacred Islamic texts, I thought Islam was a rational and peaceful religion, glaringly disregarding all the horrible things Muslim were doing globally. I thought those terrorists, acting in the name of Islam, were misguided.

It is difficult to fault Khan on this point. The fires were still burning high the night of September 11 when leftist after leftist explained to me why the Americans deserved what they got. Funny coincidence, that. Progressives also believe they stand for "peace".
