Well yes. As someone who lives in a predominantly Muslim country, I have to say that the reaction here so far seems to be shock and disbelief. Over and over again I keep hearing "It's like something out of a movie" and pity for those working or families and dependents of people working in the WTC, even ffrom people who normally take a somewhat jaundiced view of the US and its policies.
In the meantime, might I suggest that tempting though it is, we not speculate over who was responsible. Remember after flight 101 crashed into the Atlantic, there was a lot of speculation about Palestinian terrorists and it turned out to be an accident, and the man (I forget his name) who was falsely accused of the bomb at the Atlantic Olympics. Just imagine the consequences of retaliation against the wrong people or of people taking the law into their own hands as many are tempted to do after horrific news.
