Award-winning journalist Stan Grant takes us through the world on September 10, 2001.

After the collapse of the World Trade Centre on 9/11, what fractures appeared across the Islamic world, and how did the terrorist attack turbo-charge nationalism in Europe and the U.S.? Professor Jocelyne Cesari of the Harvard Divinity School explains.

Then we hear from artist Abdul Abdullah, a five-time Archibald Prize finalist, on how the events of 9/11 shaped his identity as an Australian Muslim and influenced his artworks.
