Like many of you, watching Sunday’s 9/11 memorial coverage got me thinking about where I was on that horrific Tuesday in 2001. A student at McGill University at the time, I was on my way to the gym when a random stranger told me a plane had crashed into the World Trade Center. Little did I know my world would change forever.

Over the past decade, mosques have been targeted, people have been persecuted and Islam has been under a microscope. When terrorists hijacked those planes, they also hijacked a religion.
As my colleague, Ginella Massa, a Panamanian Canadian whose mother converted to Islam when she was 3 years old, says: “After Sept. 11, I constantly felt the need to defend my religion. I always felt the need to prove that I was like everybody else, except that I wear a scarf over my head.”

Unfortunately, "9/11" is the least of their worries. According to islam, there are muslims and non-muslims - muslims are those who deny the deity of Jesus Christ, and deny that He was crucified for their sins, thereby condemning themselves (Suras 4:171 and 157).
