One of the world's known experts on the issues of Islam & Dhimmitude, the European Transformation into a Euro-Arab Axis - Eurabia, and the issue of Clash of Civilizations, is a lady by the name of Bat-Ye'or (The Daughter of the Nile, in Biblical Hebrew).   

In a brief article named "The Status of Non-Muslim Minorities Under Islamic Rule", Bat Ye'or gives us a general, yet comprehensive definition of this Muslim form of Government:

"Dhimmitude: the Islamic system of governing populations conquered by jihad wars (either forcefully or by "Stealth Jihad"), encompassing all of the demographic, ethnic, and religious aspects of the political system. The word "dhimmitude" comes from dhimmi, an Arabic word meaning "protected". Dhimmi was the name applied by the Arab-Muslim conquerors to indigenous non-Muslim populations who surrendered by a treaty (dhimma) to Muslim domination, during over a millennium (638-1683) of Islamic conquests of vast territories in Africa, Europe and Asia. Dhimmitude is an entire integrated system, based on Islamic theology, and must be appraised according to its laws and customs, irrespective of circumstances and political contingencies". 

In today's Western World, the Islamic imperialistic intentions to establish one Global Islamic Dominion, may no longer engage a "real" armed struggle only, such as September the 11^th, but may very well take the form of a much quieter, subtle yet sinister form, called "Stealth Jihad": the quiet Islamist take-over of the Western educational, cultural, and governmental institutions. This is the greatest threat to Western civilization today (you may read Cinnamon Stilwell's article in The Middle East Forum, Sept. 11, 2009).

How Dhimmitude is qualified in the 9/11 Attack:

One of the most well known characteristics of Dhimmitude is very familiar to the Jewish Diaspora in Muslim Countries in the past 1,400 years of Islam. This characteristic is the prohibition of, or ban on a non-Muslim to have a building of any kind (i.e. a house or a synagogue), taller than a building belonging to a Muslim. "Muslim Buildings" must always be the tallest!

On the Temple Mount in Jerusalem: The Muslim Dome of the rock is still higher than the Western Wall of God's Temple!

Living here in Israel, in the Land which Geographically & Spiritually inhabits the Cross Roads between Europe, Asia, Africa & the Muslim Middle East - we see this old phenomena re-taking shape, in the Palestinian Authority (PA) neighboring Cities & Villages. They are incessantly erecting new Mosques and Golden Domes, all over, all the time. These buildings are becoming taller & taller, trying to surpass the height of the Jewish buildings in the vicinity!

And this is exactly what happened on September the 11^th 2001, in New York.

Why do you think Al Qaeda attacked a PAIR of buildings, amongst the tallest in NY, definitely a prominent symbol of the American Financial Strength, and via it, a symbol of the entire Western Civilization?  Because in their eyes, by using only half a dozen zealot "Shahids" ("Suicide soldiers" for Islam) almost effortlessly, leveling to the ground the tallest strength-centre in the centre of the most affluent Western Metropolis, in the so-called strongest Western Super-Power, and killing 3,000 innocent people in the process - they have won, big time! 

And this, in Muslim Eyes - was the "opening shot" of their Holy War of Dominion (Jihad) over America: bringing down to the ground, in a humiliating move, the sign and symbol of the enemy's strength, making sure there is no taller building left, and erecting a tall, large, Muslim Labyrinth instead! 

Somber Remains of the once Mighty Towers

This is a classic move of Islam humiliating the enemy, a tactic move towards Islamic Dhimmitude in America - and a sign and a wonder for the rest of the Western World to know and understand. But the Western World is adamant NOT to understand, Not to draw the necessary conclusions, and to say "YES" to destructive appeasement instead! Otherwise, how does one, for instance, explain President Obama's famous remarks about reconstructing America's relationship with the Muslim world? The President, despite his personal connections to Islam, shows that by speaking ambiguously about the threat Islamists pose to America's national security, he misunderstands both the religion of Islam and its intrinsic imperialistic tendencies. 

And what about Ground Zero? Well, it seems that this tragic piece of real-estate has been cynically designated to become a very pretty Muslim Monument, the Tallest and Largest building in the neighborhood, "a Memorial and a Name" for the Brave Muslim Shahids who leveled the two former Western Towers that stood there, and within one hour, without any fair warning, managed to kill over 3,000 non-armed, innocent souls, both in the building and in the aircrafts. And all of this - for Political Reasons! You see, dear ones, in Islam - there is no distinction between faith & politics: politics are there to serve religious plans & intentions! And the innocent slain of 9/11, were victims of Political Islam. This is the naked, extremely ugly & harsh truth!
