8. Only if you credence religious identity over everything else.
Yes, if you credence the notion Muslims the world over should identify with other Muslims the world over, regardless of nationality and other political issues, and that the cause of Muslim governmance is a legitimate one, then yes, 9/11 made great sense. Then yes, by that reasoning, it makes great sense to think that what Israel is doing in Lebanon is the world's great crisis, because it is being done to Muslims, but the genocide in Darfur doesn't matter so much, since there Muslims are committing the crime.

As a liberal, I think that reasoning is absolutely and utterly insane.
