His personal fortune, estimated in the hundreds of millions of dollars, had enabled him to finance well-coordinated operations, including the training of the hijackers in close-quarter fighting, commandeering of aircraft, and ironically to bankroll their education in American flight schools.

Following the attacks there was a strong surge of patriotism in virtually all facets of American society.

Like the [[Dome of the Rock]], Muslims responded by constructing  a victorious [[Ground Zero Mosque]] over conquered territory.

But as to whom? I was attacked. Your relatives and friends were attacked. Our constitutional freedoms were attacked. And our nation’s founding on [[Judeo-Christian]] principles were attacked. That’s what some people did. Got that now? We are here today, congresswoman, to tell you and ‘[[the Squad]]’ just who did what to whom. Show respect in honoring them, please.<ref>https://youtu.be/w0JFwm-waiU</ref>}}
