9/11

Ten years later, the scope of the 9/11 tragedy is still mind-boggling. 2977 deaths (plus 19 hijackers). 90+ countries lost citizens. People of all races, religions, genders and sexual orientations were killed.

A recent op-ed reminded me that there are still those who would cravenly retrofit the tragedy to their own myopic worldview – specifically by using the attacks to cast Islam and all Muslims as “the enemy.” Here, then, is a reminder that Muslims also were killed in the tragedy. The following is a list of Muslim casualties from the World Trade Center attacks (via about.com. For a complete list of casualties, click here).
