Thirteen Years Ago

September 11, 2001

Though it's been 13 years since the Islamic terror group al Qaeda flew hijacked jetliners into the World Trade Center and the Pentagon, it seems like it happened only yesterday.

Some folks take issue with me when I qualify the infamous September 11, 2001 attacks with Islam. They vehemently argue that the attackers didn't represent true Islam. While that logic might work with those who are ignorant of that religion, it doesn't work with me.  

Contrary to leftists, the attacks were indeed about Islam and not about an extremist group of religious fanatics who hijacked a peaceful religion and committed mass murder. Islam isn't a peaceful religion, nor has it ever been peaceful. 

Its Quran contains over 100 war verses that encourage Muslims to conquer the world by the sword for Allah. Anyone with even a rudimentary knowledge of Islam and the Quran understands that. Leftists can certainly read the Quran but they choose not to because that book's call to propagate Islam by coercion betrays their deluded ideology.

Certainly, the majority of the world's two billion Muslims are peaceful because they aren't fundamentalists. Muslims who take the Quran and the Sunnah literally aren't extremists or radicals. They're fundamentalists. The "whack jobs" who committed mass murder on 9/11/2001 were fundamentalists. They obeyed the teachings of their prophet Muhammad.

For example, according to Islamic scholar Ibn Khaldun, "the holy war is a religious duty because of the universalism of the Muslim mission and the obligation to convert everybody to Islam either by persuasion or by force." 

Islamic scholar Sheikh Yusuf al-Qaradawi openly promotes jihad against unbelievers or "infidels" and teaches that every Muslim has a responsibility to commit to jihad: "In the jihad which you are seeking, you look for the enemy and invade him. This type of jihad takes place only when the Islamic state is invading other countries in order to spread the word of Islam and to remove obstacles standing in its way."

Those aren't the opinions of extremists or radicals who hang out in some remote region of Waziristan. They are the opinions of respected Islamic scholars. And the primary job of a scholar is to teach and indoctrinate. 

Unfortunately, until the west decides to wake up from its politically correct coma and recognize Islam for what it really is, more 9/11's are on the way. And since America's southern border has become a sieve thanks to President Barack Obama's horrible policies, another catastrophic attack is inevitable.

What will Obama say if another 9/11 occurs? Will he try to blame George W. Bush? It doesn't matter because he always has his media lackeys to cover his better half when things go wrong for him. And he knows that half of the American people are too stupid and apathetic to care. They'll continue to believe whatever he tells them.

Though I don't want to be a doomsayer, I would strongly suggest that on the upcoming anniversary of 9/11, folks be wary when they're around synagogues, churches, shopping malls and sports arenas. Something bad is in the air.

I hope and pray that nothing happens. But considering our terrible leaders who are blind to reality and are whistling past the proverbial graveyard, we have to be prepared for the worst. 

The terrorists are certainly prepared. They're prepared to deliver the worst to America and other parts of the western world. Let's hope they fail.
