I think showing restraint in their celebration is not too much to ask for

My brother's birthday is on September 11th.  We've celebrated it every year since then.

The Jets first game this season is on September 11th, which is the kickoff weekend for the NFL season.  I'll be celebrating, cheering (hopefully), drinking some beers, and generally having a merry time.

I am quite certain that nobody will ask me to temper my joy out of respect to 9/11 victims.  So, why should Muslims have to?

Like you said there's no risk that anyone in the US would think that your celebrations are about cheering and praising the downing of the towers.

So bringing yourself into the topic was pointless since it had no connection to the issue with the celebrating muslims.
