9/11 keeps repeating

The incident of 9/11 was an unnerving and shocking experience for the Americans. They couldn't believe their mainland would be attacked in such a sophisticated way, leaving many theory-generating questions. Prominent among them was the conspiracy theory - a word as allergic to a westerner as paper mulberry flowers are to a common Islamabad dweller.
There was a knee jerk reaction by the American public and rightly so. The Bush government was quick to respond and pointed fingers at a group headed by OBL with a past record of doing similar acts. Americans accepted the notion and the government took advantage of their sentiments enforcing semi-draconian laws, which were unthinkable in the US. 9/11 became a symbol of change for other civilised countries even if it meant taking uncivilised back steps such as compromising on civil liberties.
The incident divided global society into Muslim and non-Muslim groups; and the Muslim ummah into traditionalists and spiritualists. Al-Qaeda headed by OBL became the symbol of traditionalist theology. They were well-organised politically and had long been working on spreading Wahabism by methodically taking over mosques and opening madrassas all over the world. Spiritualists, on other hand, had no political aims. They remained indistinct politically and inactive socially. We saw the results; the world turned into an inferno claiming innocent lives. Which group in US became the beneficiary is any body's guess, but in the Muslim world, it provoked the sufis to come out of their slumber, get activated as a political force, and counter Muslim fanatics to show the world the other face of Islam-the spiritual face.
Meanwhile, the likes of 9/11 kept repeating in other parts of the world. It showed its ugly face in London paralysing the well-organised transport system. The damage was vast but the psychological response of the traumatised public was not as extreme as was seen in the 9/11 of the US. The mature British public responded prudently with logic dominating their emotions.
Their anger was distributed between the one against Muslims and the incumbent government of Mr Blair and his pro-American policies. In Spain, a similar episode cost the governing party elections and America lost its coalition partner in Iraq. In Pakistan, the Marriott Hotel blast was labelled as 9/11 of the country. Initially, the government pointed fingers in the direction of the Taliban in Waziristan exonerating RAW in India and Al-Qaeda in Afghanistan. The public and the media acted sensibly accentuating the tragedy without losing a grip on their emotions. America stood by Pakistan in condemning the blast offering FBI support.
