No one will leave with a feeling of heroism for what the hijackers did? I disagree. Many Muslims have already stated that the hijackers were heroes. I find it hard to believe that none of them will visit the museum.

Will they appear under a section "Reasons For Terrorism", "Excuses For Terrorism" or "Why We Hate America?"

Place them in a dark corner somewhere in the basement of the memorial.

We cannot take the hijackers out of 9/11 anymore than we can take Hitler out of discussions of World War II. History is made up of facts, and you need to present ALL of the facts of a period of history in order to truly understand it. Bravo to the 9/11 memorial for living up to its responsibilities to make sure that every piece of that day is remembered, not just the pieces we want to remember.

What! A 9/11 memorial without the perspective, motivations and life stories of the hijackers who perpetrated the catastrophe? Unthinkable and I am sure glad that planners and presenters didn't succumb to pressure from affected relatives who speak more from their emotion than from their intellect . Imagine an exhibit minus anything about the hijackers, 50 years from now. How would it enlighten the visitors as to what happened on 9/11? Why would the visitors even want to come if the causes of the mayhem are hidden from view, if the story is incomplete, if the exhibit is sanitized and if they have to hunt elsewhere to know the men who committed the atrocity? We are not here to varnish the truth. Each generation must bear witness to the generations that come after. These were mortals who did to us what they did. They hated us and were blinded by this hate. Mighty nations too have to tremble before human hate. There is life after you are victimized by hate, but the pain and the scars are deep, and the rejuvenation is slow. The 9/11 museum must speak to these facts from the perspectives of all involved--the perpetrators and the victims. Clay you need glasses for your soul. Of course the Muslims will go to this museum too. Several are productive citizens of the US. They will weep with the others and weep some more that the hijackers twisted Islam and made it a vehicle for hate. This is a world class museum-- it should be and only the whole truth will set us free.

Anon, please read what is above, please. Thanks.

"The devil comes but for one reason, to kill, to steal, and to destroy." Jesus Christ

This is the perspective that any sane person needs to be concerned about. Your enemy is an equal opportunity destroyer. He does not discriminate. If you refuse to participate in aggressively loving God and His truth, then you will be vulnerable to the psycopath who is your enemy. If it were not for God's restraint upon the activity of satan, there would be some variety of 9/11 everyday.

Jesus Christ is the safe haven, now and for eternity.

Anonymous I find your lack of compassion for those who suffered losses during the 9/11 tragedy rather pathetic. If I didn’t know you better I’d say you had more compassion for the hijackers. Then again it's not out of character for you either. We both know you only went through that discourse to stir up people to post so you could read the responses. I guess that means I’m giving you what you want as well.

I agree that the museum needs to "present the facts, focusing on "what happened on that day, why it happened". To bad you couldn't something like that without mocking or insulting the victim’s families?

Jeez Ravensfan don't carry a grudge for the canonization comment--for all you know I may have lost some good friends and relatives on 9/11. I have plenty of compassion for them and I understand why they speak from emotion but I still believe that the presenters are doing the right thing. My post speaks for itself--I won't dignify your stupid search for sinister meanings further.

Now who is "chipsmydog"? I am glad to have some more support. Thanks. All I was saying above was that some Muslims will undoubtedly see the hijackers as heroes when I responded to Anonymous. I didnt say that all Muslims would. I dont need glasses for my soul. If not all Muslims are terrorists but over 90 percent of all terrorists are Muslim then maybe those Muslims who arent should encourage those who are to change. I dont hear anything coming out of Iran for terrorists to change. What I heard this morning was that an opposition leader was attacked at a rally.

Anonymous Saying that the victim’s families "speak more from their emotion than from their intellect." was completely uncalled for and did show a lack of compassion on your part. Your point could have easily been made without saying it.

It’s too bad that instead of simply saying you meant no lack of compassion you choose to belittle me for pointing it out.
