On Tuesday, September 11th 2001, I received a phone call from a relative who told me that he was watching something strange on TV – a plane had flown into one of the twin towers of the World Trade Center in New York, and then another plane had flown into the other tower. I was puzzled and it took a few moments to realise that this was something real – a terrorist attack – and the most shocking event in recent history.
The terrorists were religious maniacs who believed that by murdering the passengers aboard the aircraft and the thousands of people in the WTC and also killing themselves in the process, that they would be rewarded by God in paradise.
Imagine no religion. Imagine no 9/11.
