I'm a 9/11 survivor, Tower One.
I had an short article published in January of 2002 about the irony of how the WTC was a place where people from every part of the world worked together yet it was the target of a hate crime.
Anyway, here's some info you might want to use. I can't speak for everyone, but in general, it's my observation that the people who are least likely to be prejudiced against Muslims are the survivors of the WTC attacks. The reason is simple--our Muslim coworkers ran out of that building right along with us and then came back to work on the rebuilding effort. One of them who came down from the 80's with a group of his coworkers held the firehose on a burning area in the staircase they took to keep the flames and smoke at bay while they all got safely past on the way out. According to what I was told casually at the time, at least some of the WTC Muslim survivors, particularly engineers also gracefully submitted to interviews and investigations by the FBI simply because they were Muslims who worked in the WTC.
Further, I know at least one Muslim--man now about 40, married with kids, had a lot of difficulty with his faith after the attacks because of other Muslims he knew that were celebrating that night.
So now we're back and the site is under construction and Muslims work with us still, along with people of any religion or ethnicity you can think of, and we know we have more in common than we have in differences. That's how it works when you don't automatically lump people as one of "them", but take each as an individual. I'd rather err on the side of assuming a person is not what they are stereotyped to be. Doing it the other way only makes you less of a person.
Hope that helps. Remember to always note where the exits are, and wear shoes you can run in.

Wow, mystique, I haven't heard anyone actually admit to saying that old sad lie in a long time. Yes, there were many Jews there, and some died. And I know a real live Israeli who got out. Now stop that!
