21. The 19 hijackers weren't Muslims. They were Islamists.
Muslims are as harmless as you are. Islamists are not.

Yes, mass hysteria (or delusion) most certainly exists. I doubt anyone here would argue that point.
The problem is getting people to be honestly introspective enough to learn their way through their own levels of delusion, denial, and arrogance.

Adherence to the idea that Undying Faith Without Reason is a good thing(even the best thing) doesn't protect children and other humans from falling prey to bullshit, hysteria, and delusion. How could it?
On the other hand, critical thinking and awareness of the rules of logic just might work.
