Muslims's creed is that, God is the creator of all everything. God is Sovereign, the powerful one. Thus, what I cannot fathom is, if this is what the Muslims beliefs are, how could a vast amount of Muslims feel it was necessary to take the lives of others, while incorporating their own thoughts, which is against God's Covenant, "Thy shall not kill" (Exodus 20:13 ESV). I'm bewildered, and often muse (think) that are some Muslims and/or Islamic individuals are faking beliefs. Thereupon, a true believer of Christ, the Lord would never take the life of another, intentionally or without suffering from some kind of mental illness and/or probable cause. Probable cause meaning that a conflict has ensued, causing one individual to snap and murder another individual unintentionally. 9/11 shaped the majority of my thoughts and ideas has well. Thus, the 9/11 …show more content…

It's context is based upon the belief that everything is governed by and the belief in the "divine decree," which entails, whatever occurs in our lives, it is preordained.

“9/11 changed America fundamentally, far more so than outsiders realized at the time.
