It was a ritual. That is what most get wrong. A ritual and a mass sacrifice. Symbolically and of course literally.

In my opinion, material necessity is dominant over religion, even if this religion is satanic. 
So, the necessity to invade Irak, overthrow Hussein Saddam, take his oil, and overtake Afghanistan for strategic reason, are what determined the 9/11. 
Now, that spiritual, astrological, ritual notions enter into consideration, that's entirely possible. 
But again, the main determinism was simply Capitalistic imperialism. 
I mean, it's so simple i know many of you will deny this.
