Letter: Remembering all

It WAS only right and proper that the world remembered the innocent victims of the 9/11 atrocities on Monday with a series of one-minute silences, and I wholeheartedly condemn the small group of militant muslims who attempted to disrupt the remembrance service in London’s Grovenor Square (your reports).

However, when are we going to have a minute’s silence to remember the other innocent victims of 9/11: the 70,000 innocent Iraqi civilians who perished following the West’s retaliatory attacks despite no connection between Iraq and 9/11or actual weapons of mass destruction? A modern day example of David Hume’s concept of “Selective Generosity”. To remember the innocent Iraqi dead would be one way to show the Muslim world that we are sincere.
