One always has a duty to fight oppression. However, 9/11 did absolutely nothing towards solving any Israeli/Palestinian opression. So, there were no Islamic grounds for 9/11. Any decent Muslim would tell you that. The fact that none of the people killed had anything to do with it, made it abstract violence an not 'an eye for an eye' in any way, shape or form. >After all their God gave them the right to many other > atrocities and heinous acts against humanity, right?

But, regarding the previous point, we ALWAYS have to accept the past as being unchangable and come to terms with it.
