Isn't this just a coincidence?
Why? There was a Muslim cleric at the National Cathedral as I recall.
There are two possible explanations:
1. All the Muslims that missed work and school did so by coincidence.
2. Some missed work because there was a general warning sent through out the Muslim community that there would be an attack on 9-11.
The news accounts above support the latter. A statistical analysis of the unplanned absences of Muslims working around the World Trade Center would establish if all the absences were coincidence or not. I will never know one way or the other about my wife's co-worker.

It seems to me all these transactions are recorded somewhere. Anything that has to be reported to the IRS should have a paper trail.
You are absolutely 100% correct. Without the proper record keeping the entire system would collapse. They know exactly who made the short sell trades, but it has been decided that you and me do not need that information. I predict the Justice Department will not prosecute a single case related to the short selling.
Thanks for an informative post.
On September 11, school was canceled after the attack and again the following day. On Thursday September 13, a clearly agitated DiLorenzo, saying she had been afraid to come forward, reported the incident to the principal’s office. “It scared the hell out of everyone,” according to a source at the school.
The police and FBI were alerted and twelve NYPD officers entered the school and secured DiLorenzo’s classroom for three hours, locking the doors with the students inside. While the students were brought lunch and a movie and told to be calm, the youth in question and his older brother, a sophomore, were taken to be interrogated by the FBI, stationed at the police precinct nearby.
DiLorenzo, the key to the believability of this story, was also questioned. She was described by school officials as having a superb and unblemished record in the New York school system. A police source described her as “100 percent credible.”
Moreover, according to police, the youth confirmed having made the September 6 statement about the towers. At the moment he did so, his older brother elbowed him, said he had been “kidding,” and the youth in question agreed. The younger brother seemed upset and said he was “having a bad day.” When asked why, he said that his father was supposed to come back from Pakistan that day. Further details of the interrogation are unclear, in part because the FBI is not discussing it.
Because of the suspension of air travel, it took the father a few days to return. About a week after September 11, the father visited the school and angrily asked why his sons had been interrogated by the authorities. He said that his family’s constitutional rights had been violated.

Our company had a memorial service 9/24/01. Two reverends, a rabbi, a cardinal, an imam and a bishop were scheduled to participate. When the imam's turn came up in the program, one of the reverends told us he had been called away to perform his duties for the NY police.
I wanted to hear what the imam had to say. It seems to me that the imam should have had someone else available as a substitute. I think he insulted us.
Btw, the cardinal was excellent.
