Was there a bomb in the World Trade Center attacks on September 11?
No. There was no bomb in the World Trade Centre attacks on September 11 2001, although the terrorists on board the planes may have *claimed* that they had a bomb to gain control of the plane- it is doubtful that we will ever know. The buildings were brought down by terrorists flying planes into them, which in turn caused burning jet fuel to weaken the steel in the building enough that it buckled under the weight of the building and tragically collapsed.
Why do people think that muslims are terrorists?
Following the September 11th Terrorist Attacks by radical Islamic militants in 2001, and the subsequent unrest and terrorist attacks by other militants both in the Middle East and abroad, many people have adopted this stereotype/ mistrust.
It is common for people to develop a feeling of mistrust towards the entire race of the "enemy" during wartime; e.x. the Japanese in WWII.
It is just prejudice; one that will, hopefully, pass with time.

Did twin towers explode before than planes crashed into towers building?
While there are many eyewitnesses to explosions in the buildings, none were reported until after the planes hit the twin towers. Most of the eyewitness reports are from first responders and fire fighters that were in the buildings preparing to put the fires out with water lines that experienced the explosions from lower floors as well as when the towers fell. Some were from FEMA personnel who were dispatched into the area of town on Sept 10, 2001.
By the end of the day, WTC 1, WTC 2, and WTC 7, had all crashed into their own footprint with all of the concrete, wall board, building materials, and office furniture, exploding into practically dust size particles as the buildings fell.
This is the first time in the history of high rise buildings, that fire has been reported as the cause of their collapse. These buildings were built to withstand the impact of the Boeing 707, at that time the largerst commerical airliner, after the impact of a B-25 Mitchell bomber had struck and exploded into the Empire State building years prior to the build of the towers.
