The parable is continued further. The heart of man is the seat of his hopes and fears, the foundation of his moral and spiritual life. If that foundation is on an undermined sand cliff already crumbling to pieces, what security or stability can he have ? He is being shaken by alarms and suspicions and superstitons, until like the edge of a sand cliff they are cut clean away and fall into a heap of ruin and his spirituall life and all its landmarks are destroyed.

In verses 109-110, the reference to "the building which they have built" is, obviously, widened beyond the preceding allusion to houses of worship, and allegorically circumscribes here all the "works" and. the behaviour of men.(Quran Ref 9110 )

I think based on these translations and explanation the verse has whatsoever no meaning to Physical buildings alone, and more so as in places of worships/human concepts; least to the 9/11 bombings.
Ofocurse, I am no scholar of the Quran. Other learned members care to shed some light

I am extremely agree with Prac, I canât understand where the people get the ideas to relates these Holy Verses with terrible 9/11 attack.
Here is detail tafsir of concern Holy Verses
(verse 110)
(Ask forgiveness for them (O Muhammad)) Allah says if you ask forgiveness for âAbdullah Ibn Ubayy, Jadd Ibn Qays, and Muâattib Ibn Qushayr and their followersâwho were about 70 menâ, (or ask not forgiveness for them) it is all the same for them; (though thou ask forgiveness for them seventy times Allah will not forgive them) that punishment. (That is because they disbelieved in Allah and His messenger) in secret, (and Allah guideth not) forgives not (wrong-doing folk) the hypocrites âAbdullah Ibn Ubayy and his host.
(Verse 111)
(Those who were left behind rejoiced) the hypocrites were pleased (at sitting still) at staying behind and not joining the battle of Tabuk (behind the messenger of Allah, and were averse to striving with their wealth and their lives in Allahâs way) in obedience of Allah. (And they said) to one another (Go not forth in the heat!) do not go with Muhammad (pbuh) to the battle of Tabuk in the scorching heat. (Say) to them, O Muhammad (The heat of Hell is more intense of heat) is most intense in firebrands, (if they but understood) and believed.
(Verse 112)
(Then let them laugh a little) in the life of this world (they will weep much) in the Hereafter, (as the award of what they used to earn) of what they used to say and do of transgression
