Quick Summary

The editor of Zeteo introduces an essay reflecting on how September 11, 2001, altered global dynamics. Within days of the attacks, then-President George W. Bush visited a mosque to assert that Islam promotes peace, yet his administration later invaded Afghanistan and Iraq, countries not directly involved in the 9/11 attacks. The piece argues that 9/11 transformed the world through both rhetoric advocating religious harmony and subsequent military actions against Muslim nations.

Story summary

Today marks 25 years since the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks on the United States, an event that dramatically altered global politics. Less than a week after these attacks, then-President George W. Bush visited a mosque in Washington, DC, declaring "Islam is peace." However, despite this statement, President Bush later invaded Iraq and Afghanistan, countries not directly linked to the 9/11 attacks. This marked significant shifts in American foreign policy and its relationship with predominantly Muslim nations post-9/11.
