> I know Islamic practice places a high value on hospitality, and that precludes the kinds of social (non)-interactions with the checkout girl in Woolworths, which is why you get invited in to the carpet shop to drink tea and exchange photographs before you start the bargaining. It's an entire way of life that has not been treated kindly by modernity. Mohammed Atta's parents were relocated from ground level to highrise, and subsequently he wrote his thesis on the medieval architecture of Aleppo. And people we know here had relatives and offices in the very buildings destroyed in New York. It's all connected.
