Ten Years After 9/11

The events of Sept. 11, 2001 changed the world: Islamist terrorists crashed two planes into the towers of the World Trade Center. A third hijacked plane was flown into the Pentagon, while a fourth crashed in a field. In total, around 3,000 people died in the attacks that would spark two wars.

The Terrorist Next Door American Muslims Face Growing Prejudice

Ten years after the 9/11 attacks, America's Muslims have become the country's internal enemy. Conservative forces have seized upon the so-called "Ground Zero Mosque" as a rallying point. Amid all the hate, Americans have lost sight of the real problem: the fact that their country has become paranoid. Von Ullrich Fichtner

Opinion The Demoralized Nation

The battles waged by the United States after the Sept. 11, 2001 terrorist attacks are further proof of the fact that, on the whole, the country has fought the wrong wars in the wrong places at the wrong time ever since World War II. The Iraq war was like a last gasp. Now Obama is left to administer the twilight years of American hegemony. Von Gerhard Spörl

The events of Sept. 11, 2001 led to a wave of solidarity with the US. But the superpower has lost that goodwill over the course of the wars it subsequently waged. Now America is mainly seen not as the victim of terrorism, but as a perpetrator of violence itself. Von Gregor Peter Schmitz

The World from Berlin 'Germany Is in the Jihadists' Crosshairs'

Two men were arrested in Berlin on Thursday on suspicion of stockpiling chemicals which could be used to build a bomb. German commentators have praised the work of the security forces, but warn that, as the 10th anniversary of 9/11 approaches, more needs to be done to combat terrorism.

Opinion Ten Lost Years

Ten years have passed since Sept. 11, 2001, and today only losers remain. Islam has been taken hostage by blinded ideologues. The West has betrayed its values in its struggle against terror, and we are now burdened with Islamophobes. Without 9/11, the crimes of Anders Behring Breivik and the rise of right-wing populists in Europe would be inconceivable. Von Jakob Augstein

'Who's Afraid of the Big, Bad Buildings?' How New Yorkers Tried to Stop the World Trade Center

New York's World Trade Center has been sorely missed since the 9/11 attacks. It's easy to forget, however, that many New Yorkers, such as the small business owners of Manhattan's Radio Row, campaigned against its construction in the 1960s -- to no avail. Von Marc Pitzke

Charisma Deficit Loss of Bin Laden Threatens Al-Qaida 'Brand'

For years, the charismatic Osama bin Laden was the undisputed face of al-Qaida -- internally as well as externally. But for the last four months, the terror network has had to get by with the relatively boring Ayman al-Zawahiri at the top. Experts believe the lack of an inspiring leader puts the jihadists under pressure. Von Yassin Musharbash
