salamu alaykum,

@Muslim & Zayd,Advice, I agree to an extent that the Taliban did eradicate drugs and other things, but what good is this if you do not fulfil all the laws and obligations of the shariah and establish the rights of the ummah. One cannot pick and choose what to implement and what to not to. For example, where was the rights for woman to be able to seek knowledge? who gave them the right to take this away when allah bestowed this for them? Abu Hurayrah relates that the Prophet (SAW)said, “For him who embarks on the path of seeking knowledge, Allah will ease for him the way to paradise.” (Muslim).
Women are the one’s who teach the kids, who one day became the pillars of our nation,. I could go on and show you many other things,

No one is disputing they did some good however i think you need to reflect on some ayah’s yourselves 90:4-18, and i can say as a somali i know exactly what author means when he compares them to al-shabab, who are causing destruction among the people.

Also no wonder we are being divided when we are using such words as American Muslim’s. We are a nation of Muslim brother’s and sisters,(The Believers Are Like Brothers To One Another) 49:10,
we’re too busy being afghani or american or somali. How many more divisions? How many more separations ? The Kaffir are killing us one by one, as seen in the “New World Order” (Chechnya, Bosnia, Kashmir, etc). Divide-and-conquer is really working on the UMMAH. Lets all work together to put an end to this nonsense called Nationalism, a completely alien, and forbidden ideology in Islam.

“And verily this Ummah of yours IS A SINGLE UMMAH and I am your Lord and Cherisher: Therefore Fear Me and no other” 23:53

Jazakum khaiyr.

In reply to Zayd Yahya. My ranking was more chronological than order of harm.

In reply to Muslim.

@Muslim As-Salamu alaikum,

Of course brother my knowledge is confirmed and part of that knowledge is indeed that of the good things they did was eradicate to a large extent drugs and alcohol. On the other hand we can write a whole article on how their so called implementation of Islamic Law was far from even reasonable much less than ideal. I suppose you support the “Shari’ah” of Saudi and al-Shabab in Somalia too!

You need to fear God and learn your deen dear brother. Ignorance is our worst enemy!

Mashallah, this article is more even handed than previous articles on this site with regards to 9/11. Jazakallahu khayrn.
Just a few thoughts…
@ Muslim – Im with you brother, American Muslims need to spend more time understanding the history of Afghanistan and its central role in the drug trade during the 1990s.
As for the negative effects of 9/11, I would hope that 2+ million dead Muslims would rank number one on your list….but alhamdulillah at least the author acknowledges the fact that there are legitimate questions regarding the official narrative of 9/11. Conspiracy theorists are those who try to propose an alternative narrative, logical thinkers are those who simply do not trust the American government….think “WMDs in Iraq.” Members of the 9/11 Commission have stated on the record that they do not believe the published report is an accurate reflection of events leading up to the attacks.
There is one ayat in particular that we should reflect on: 49:6.
Salaam

I’m sorry brother but how was the removal of the Taliban which implemented shariah and eradicated drug cultivation and corruption a good thing? Fear Allah for such posts. Whatever you’ve heard about them should be verified as we know there is a huge propaganda war against Islam spearheaded by the western media.

As Salaamu alaykum,

JazakAllahu khairan for such a thoughtful and thougth provoking piece. We need to continously be reminded that we have a duty to study and know our deen and to share that deen in the best way with others.

BarakAllahu feek

Abu Majeed is an example of someone who really understands what has happened, is happening and NEEDS to happen in America. I really enjoyed this article as it lucidly outlines not just the negatives of what we experienced as a community after 9/11 but also some positives. How many of those have you read of in the flurry of 9/11 articles that came out this month? Great work.

Mashallah, very beautiful and informative post! I really like how you first gave us some of the positive and negative effects of 9/11. I completely agree that Muslims should be more active in their communities. These small steps of community service will Inshallah help improve Americans perception of Islam and Muslims. The fourth rightly guided Khalifa Ali (r.a.) eloquently stated that every human is either your brother in faith or your equal in humanity!
