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.

First off, that's not what I said.  What I said is right above if you were unclear.

Secondly, and far more importantly, I don't see the distinction between my celebration, and a muslim celebration.  I had nothing to do with 9/11.  Neither did pretty much all muslims.  So I don't see why either of us should have to worry about celebrating something unrelated to 9/11.  If someone is going to make assumptions based on either celebration, that's their problems.
