If I were in New York City, I would light a candle at the memorial and keep vigil. In San Francisco, I pray in a room lit only by a streetlamp, filled with sadness for those who have died in America, Pakistan, Iraq, Afghanistan, and elsewhere, and apprehension at the terrorism-related deaths to come. Our work as Americans and Muslims is far from done.

Even if it did help in his capture (which it didn’t), torture is still wrong.

Flynn 92e6a5f8-f6f2-40ab-92ef-fa1ecf0f27cb https://religiondispatches.org/2012/04/17/why-911-changed-everything-nothing The cliché that 9/11 “changed everything” is nowhere less true than in the post-9/11 impulse to declare war immediately. War was a choice as well as an echo: a choice Americans made, and an echo of how Americans have made decisions in times of previous conflict.

In short, we hunger for their redemption. And so, when the retributive impulse is finally satisfied, it naturally resolves itself into forgiveness. The darkness is lifted, because the evil—the dissociation from the good that inspired the crime—has been destroyed.

They both have a reductive, prescriptive understanding of religion and they use it to assert superiority over others. Fri, 19 Jun 2009 10:22:48 EDT Hussein Rashid 8442b3f8-11a1-4fb7-85f5-c60e0b864f8b
