Islam is the predominant religion is Kazakhstan. My Kazakh co-workers were aghast at what happened on 9/11. They kept coming up to me and apologizing for what their fellow muslims did. It got to be embarrassing.
Side story: With the 11 hour time difference between NY and Almaty, the 9/11 event happened in the evening, Almaty time. I was in my apartment watching it happen on satellite TV.
About an hour after the towers were hit, I got a call from the U.S. embassy telling me not to go to work the next day and to stay in my apartment and not open the door for any reason or anyone.
I tried to stay in but at about 4 PM the next day I couldn't stand it anymore. I decided to walk to the American embassy about a mile from my apartment just to see if anything was going on there.
About a quarter of a mile from the embassy I noticed all these Russian made tanks and Kazakh soldiers with AK 47's surrounding the embassy. I thought, "I'm f*cked! The muslims are laying seize to our embassy!" I turned around and went to my favorite Tex-Mex restaurant in Almaty and ate a late lunch figuring it might be my last good meal for a while.
Of course, it was the opposite. The president of Kazakhstan had ordered the military to protect the U.S. embassy "at all costs." When I went to work the next morning I was asked if I wanted a security guard to accompany me for the rest of my stay there. I declined.
