This is a suitable day to remember the fight that we are in. Let's not forget the cause in which the 9-11 hijackers fought, when they killed 3000 civilians. Per the NY Times, documents used by the 9-11 hijackers state that they were following the instructions of the Koran:
3) Read al-Tawba and Anfal [traditional war chapters from the Qur'an] and reflect on their meanings and remember all of the things that God has promised for the martyrs.
From the USC Muslim Students' Association translation of the Koran, here is a passage from al-Tawba:
Then, when the sacred months have passed, slay the idolaters wherever ye find them, and take them (captive), and besiege them, and prepare for them each ambush. But if they repent and establish worship and pay the poor-due, then leave their way free. Lo! Allah is Forgiving, Merciful.
And from same site, here are two passages from Anfal:
Thus (will it be said): "Taste ye then of the (punishment): for those who resist Allah, is the penalty of the Fire."
...So you did not slay them, but it was Allah Who slew them, and you did not smite when you smote (the enemy), but it was Allah Who smote, and that He might confer upon the believers a good gift from Himself; surely Allah is Hearing, Knowing.
According to the documents used by the 9-11 hijackers, they were following specific chapters in the Koran, which instructed them to kill non-Muslims.
