#ArmenianGenocide

—Ashur Rustam Abraham of Tal Jazirah
—Bassam Issa Michael from Tal Shamiram (Al-Jazirah)

Overall, Americans took 9/11 pretty calmly. Notably, there wasn't a mass outbreak of anti-Muslim sentiment and violence, which could all too easily have happened. And while GW Bush was a terrible president, to his credit he tried to calm prejudice, not feed it 2/
