TELL US: How Have You Changed Since September 11?
Feel free to share your thoughts in the comments section.
Sept. 11 is tomorrow, and as a reminder of this day, we wanted to give you some space to share your thoughts with the community.
Maybe you were in New York City, Washington D.C. or Pennsylvania on that day or, perhaps, your friends or family were. Maybe you were right here in the Witch City.
Wherever you were, we're sure you remember 9/11 and the impact it has had on our country.
We want to know — Did Sept. 11 change you? What are your thoughts now, 11 years later? How have you changed since that day? How do you think it changed our city?
Feel free to share your thoughts in the comments.

As a Coptic Christian from Egypt, 9/11 showed me that I can run away from my problems but I can't hide from them. Coptic Christians have been persecuted for hundreds of years in the Middle East and subgegated to dhimitude and second class citizenry and even more so now that the Muslim Brotherhood have taken over the government of Egypt. My family immigrated from Egypt to get away from the persecution and found a new life in America. We so cherish our freedoms here and value them greatly. After 9/11 I became aware that the Muslim Brotherhood had been in the US for a long time and since then are looking to overthrow the US from within (see Holyland foundation documents seized for the trial against the Holyland Foundation http://www.nefafoundation.org/miscellaneous/HLF/Akram_GeneralStrategicGoal.pdf). So now I just try to make people aware of what we as Americans are up against. Some people listen some are to affaird to talk about the subject. That is what the Muslim Brotherhood uses against us, our fear and and our laws. I have made myself vulnerable but at some point you can't run from past and you have confront it.
