Yes, there are some who are whooping it up in the streets because they call it pay back. But that is hyperbole if you think that is extended to the large body of Christians who wish no ill on anyone.

Doesn’t take much for you to judge a whole body of people either apparently? You, no doubt, are rejoicing to find a few Americans applauding so you can use them to draw your conclusions that right wing Christians are just as immoral as anybody else. Therefore, that somehow proves it does not matter what one believes or not. Is that what you are driving at?
For me --- if some skyscraper collapsed in Japan from an earthquake in 1944 I would not blame an American if they showed signs of gladness over it, even if it were not the Christian thing to do. Would you?
Do you see what I am getting at? Since 9/11/01 there have been over 25,000 attacks (non-military) upon innocent civilians across the globe where innocent people died, or in a small % of those cases, only badly maimed. http://thereligionofpeace.com/ So the first point is that those in non-Muslim countries are sick and tired of all the Muslim groups that commit these murders every single day. Sick of these Muslim nations either supporting them, or at a minimum, doing nothing to stop them. Sick of all the hatred and intolerance shown by Islam in general. This faith is the root cause of an incalculable amount of suffering over the past 100 years. No other religion even talks this way, much less acts this way, in modern times.
So now you have a strong bit of irony here. On the anniversary day that 3,000 innocent Americans died at the hand of Islamic terrorists there is a terrible tragedy at the Grand Mosque in Mecca! A building collapse no less! THAT is what made this a possible cause for Americans to not hold back some feelings. No one cheers in this nation when Muslims are blown up by car bombs or suicide bombers, etc. It is all about the suffering Americans have had to absorb and the incredible irony and “coincidence” of what happened and on what day it happened. That changed everything about this tragedy. It carried a far different meaning than just some tragedy occurred to innocent Muslim lives.
And I for one do not believe it is a coincidence. I believe it may be a greater message in all this. Of course if I am talking to someone who thinks God is an ancient myth, ok to disregard.
