Well, Trump will just say they were celebrating 9/11 either way.  Wouldn't be the first time.

muslims dont "party" during eid. they visit family and have a feast. thats it.

for a typical American buffoon, they think muslims celebrate by killing their Christian neighbour and stabbing priest jimmy

I've always been with Wednesday Adams on that one. More needs to be done to recognise what native Americans had to go through and how much they lost

9/11 is not a big deal as before but it is a sensitive topic in the United States.

Muslims in the US are far less radical then ones in UK and Europe imo.

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.

so what, Islam was not responsible of 911.

It obviously was but I'm not American so I'm not going to get in a long argument with you

Is 9/11 a big thing in America then?

In the UK it's just a regular day. So, it wouldn't be any different to a muslim holiday on any other day of the year.

I've seen it referred to as "Patriot Day" before, but only on calendars my parents used to get from politicans they donated money to. Pretty sure it's nothing official, and like most people have said, its importance has decreased with time. Not to say it doesn't matter, of course.
