The article addresses a reflection on the 25 years since the September 11, 2001 attacks, questioning whether the world is today a safer place. The analysis is done by Miguel Prata Roque and Diogo Feio, who examine the legacy of the attacks that marked contemporary history.

The debate focuses on the tension between freedom and security that has shaped policies and society since the attacks. The analysts discuss how these two dimensions have been affected over the past two and a half decades.

The article's title highlights that the overwhelming majority of Muslims have a peaceful view of coexistence between peoples, seeking to nuance the perception often associated with Islam after September 11. This statement appears as a counterpoint to the generalizations that frequently accompany discussions on the topic.
