I understand that there are people (mostly of the far left ideology) who like to blame the US for the 9/11 attack. The reasons they do so are listed below.
1) The first thing they'll do is reference the words of Osama Bin Laden as to why he himself claimed that Al Qaeda attacked us (which apparently was because of our occupation of Saudi Arabia and our support of Israel.) What's odd about this is leftists seem to completely disregard the fact that Bin Laden was a religiously fanatical kook who was estranged even from his own family. If a Christian extremist or right wing extremist were to write a similar rant about the motivations for their violence I doubt the far left would take it as seriously.
2) One of the main pillars of the far left ideology is that they seem to believe that blind constant dissent against the United States is a valid substitute for blind patriotism. They believe that US patriotism is something for the simple-minded working class while dissent against the US automatically equates to advanced sophisticated thinking. Hence whenever some outside group has a conflict with the US they immediately race in to take the side of that group because it suits their leftist political agenda to do so.
3) Many leftists are consumed by white guilt and/or third world guilt. Therefore if someone is dark-skinned and from an impoverished nation (as many Muslim extremists are) they automatically slap a "victim" label on them. If someone is dark-skinned and from an impoverished nation that has poor relations with the US or Israel they automatically slap an extra LARGE "victim" label on them.
4) Leftists generally blame western nations for the hatred that Muslim extremists have for us. This they do while conveniently ignoring that these extremists by their own admission are completely intolerant against other religions, gays, women and any form of freedom of expression that differs from their own. They also seem to ignore the fact that the extremists have repeatedly proven that they’re more than willing to lash out violently over the most ridiculous reasons (i.e. Youtube videos and Danish cartoons that offend them) and that they’re absolutely incapable of getting along with anyone else including moderate Muslims within their own various nations. Muslim Pakistani schoolgirl Malala Yousafza who was shot by a Taliban gunman simply because she wanted an education would likely be the first to point this out.
5) Leftists are fiercely resistant when it comes to criticizing anything that has to do with Islam. Usually what happens whenever someone criticizes a Muslim their first response will be to try and deflect all criticism over to Christianity because in their view criticizing Christianity is the height of "progressive wisdom" while criticizing Islam is considered "hate speech" and "bigotry."
6) Leftists also don't seem to want to hold Muslim extremists accountable for anything negative that they do. Therefore if a Muslim extremist commits an act of terror they immediately begin claiming that it was an act of provoked violence that should be blamed on another country’s foreign policy. Meanwhile if a US soldier, Israeli soldier or Christian extremist commits an act of terror they instantly denounce the crazed, bloodthirsty, hate-filled soldier or Christian and instantly demand full and immediate prosecution to the full extent of the law.
7) Lastly the far left has such a blinding bias toward the US in general that whenever the US (or Israel) has any kind of conflict with any nation or terrorist organization leftists instantly bendover backwards to come up with creative fabrications as to how the US or Israel provoked said conflict and this they do while ignoring how oppressive, intolerant, aggressive or brutal the opposition in that conflict actually is.
The fact is that Muslim extremists cannot be reasoned with. They are completely intolerant and violent towards anyone who doesn't share their hardline views. They routinely kill more liberal-minded Muslims in their own nations and have a history of calling for Jihads over absolutely ridiculous reasons. However as the 12th anniversary of the 9/11 attack draws near, leftists will once again ignore all of these facts because blaming the US for all the world's woes is the very foundation of their alleged "complex and sophisticated" ideology.
