- Abstract
The article presents notes on a Jewish/Muslim movement of justice and compassion in the U.S. after September 11th. After September 11th religions and religiosity have not changed either. The discussion of Islam exemplifies the great lengths that the media and the broader public discussion in the West will move in the wake of tragedy to search out the religious motivations of action and reaction in the world. To say that Islam has been demonized in the West in the wake of September 11th is wrong. But no religion can be so easily defined. Islam contains every possibility that any monotheistic religion does, no more or less: the beauty of belief and justice as well as the horror of fanaticism and atrocity.
