Islam felt the same way when the towers fell, larely because we
thought we could bomb them with no danger to ourselves.

I dispute the notion that "Islam" felt that way. Indonesia is an Islamist
state. A lot of people reacted with sympathy and support when the World
Trade Center was attacked. This has been squandered since but at that
moment, there was a lot of support.

My fault again. I do tend to say "Islam" when I should say middle
eastern Islam.

You mean Islam*ism*. It's nothing to do with where it's practiced.
