How many Muslims died in the September 11th attacks?

Answer 1

This is the subject of some debate. Estimates have ranged everywhere from 26 to 1200. The one partial list of names of Muslims who are known to have died as victims of the 9/11 attacks puts it closer to around 60. This information came from About.com.

Not counting the 19 terrorists themselves (who at best can be called "fringe" Muslims), there are several dozen of the victims who were known to follow Islam, and likely several dozen more amongst the variety of ordinary citizens killed in the attack.

19 Muslims who committed suicide by crashing planes in the World Trade Center towers, the Pentagon, and Sharksville, Pennsylvania where 4 terrorist miss their targets.

According to the BBC: among those killed in the Twin Towers were an estimated 70 Muslims. One of those was Briton Sarah Ali. This does not include the 19 hijackers.
