September 11, 2001 A.D. was 23 Juma'ada ath-thaani 1422 A.H., or 6/23/1422. March 11, 2004 was 19 Muharram 1425 A.H., or 1/19/1425. I suppose if you wanted to play numerology, you could note that 1/19 is 9/11 backwards. 6/23 backwards is 3/26, so either watch out on March 26 or on May 16 (3/26/1425 on the Islamic calendar). August 10, BTW, will be the 3-year anniversary of 9-11 on the Islamic calendar, so watch out then.
Either that, or we go out and kill all the terrorists before any more pseudo-anniversaries.

Being 911 days after 6/23 doesn't mean much, does it?
And as far as I know, Americans are the only ones with the habit of putting the month first when using dates converted to a numerical system. Most of the rest of the world uses the more sensible system of going from the smallest time span to the largest, so 11 September, 2001 would be 11/9/01.
