9/11 response

   Two suit cases didn't make it to the hijacked planes on 9/11. These suitcases contained written Arabic with a hijacking manual. It contains religious claims to justify their actions. In other words, it says it is acceptable to crash a plane with innocent souls inside into the World Trade Center. The manual says to be calm and not to show signs of distress or nervousness. It states that they should be overjoyed because what they are doing is something favorable in God's eyes.

   This proves that these hijackers are normal people, well, normal people that were sculpted into something horrible. The way the Arabic writing is worded leads to the fact that it was written to reinforce the hijackers' beliefs just in case they became soft. It means that deep down they know something is wrong with what they are doing. They have been lead down a cruel path that is separate from reality. Separate from reality, these hijackers have no fear or empathy.
