On the 11th Anniversary of 9/11, Islam & Muslims: An Overview
Eleven years ago, the world was shocked seeing planes flying into the World Trade Center towers. The chaos was overwhelming. People jumping out of top floor windows, in hope to escape imminent death to end up facing the same destiny, was nerve breaking. The shock of the 9/11 tragic events was startling. It was unbelievable, and irrational.
In this post, I would like to share with you some of our personal experience in the aftermath of the event. For the following weeks, I spent long hours into the late night, till my head drops, researching, verifying, compiling and annotating the text in a power point slides to create my first presentation to fellow Lucent engineers in Indian Hill campus in Naperville, IL. I wanted to give a digestible, without too much details, end-to-end picture on understanding Islam and Muslims. It covers, as much grounds as possible, the essential and typical questions people ask. Over the following years, I revised the presentation, and would like to share with you today…”Islam and Muslims: An Overview,” in power point show format, and have it also in native (.ppt) format.
