Many many Muslims offered sympathy, gave blood and more after 911, Were you so blinded by prejudice you missed it, were you in such a place as you could not find any information? Were you a child and unable to do a simple search? It's not at all difficult to find such information. You have been here for almost 8 years, posted over 7,000 messages, served on a jury 140 times, how could you have been here so long and missed it?

A simple Google search with the words "muslim offer of condolences after 911" would have found much information.
