I wouldn't dismiss the trauma that decended on Muslims after this event, but I will challenge Americans, particularly those more than a day's drive from NYC, to be critical and question how their emotions are being manipulated. For people not directly linked to the events of 911, that trauma is rhetorical, constructed. Why this event and not all the other traumatic events of recent American history?
