911 REMEMBERED-10 YEARS LATER

WORLD TERRORISM

GENESIS 6:11-13
11 The earth also was corrupt before God, and the earth was filled with violence.(WORLD TERRORISM,MURDERS)(HAMAS IN HEBREW IS VIOLENCE)
12 And God looked upon the earth, and, behold, it was corrupt; for all flesh had corrupted his way upon the earth.
13 And God said unto Noah, The end of all flesh is come before me; for the earth is filled with violence (TERRORISM)(HAMAS) through them; and, behold, I will destroy them with the earth.

2 PETER 2:5
5 And spared not the old world, but saved Noah the eighth person, a preacher of righteousness, bringing in the flood upon the world of the ungodly;

2 PETER 3:7
7 But the heavens and the earth, which are now, by the same word are kept in store, reserved unto fire against the day of judgment and perdition of ungodly men

LEVITICUS 26:16
16 I also will do this unto you; I will even appoint over you( sudden) terror, consumption, and the burning ague, that shall consume the eyes, and cause sorrow of heart: and ye shall sow your seed in vain, for your enemies shall eat it.

GENESIS 16:11-12
11 And the angel of the LORD said unto her, Behold, thou art with child, and shalt bear a son, and shalt call his name Ishmael; because the LORD hath heard thy affliction.
12 And he will be a wild man; his hand will be against every man, and every man's hand against him; and he shall dwell in the presence of all his brethren.

ISAIAH 33:1,18-19 Woe to thee that spoilest,(destroys) and thou wast not spoiled;(destroyed) and dealest treacherously, and they dealt not treacherously with thee! when thou shalt cease to spoil,(destroy) thou shalt be spoiled;(destroyed) and when thou shalt make an end to deal treacherously, they shall deal treacherously with thee.
18 Thine heart shall meditate terror. Where is the scribe? where is the receiver? where is he that counted the towers?
19 Thou shalt not see a fierce people, a people of a deeper speech than thou canst perceive; of a stammering tongue, that thou canst not understand.

JOHN 16:2
2 They shall put you out of the synagogues: yea, the time cometh, that whosoever killeth you will think that he doeth God service.

WHY IS THERE NOT AN OFFICIAL INQUIRY INTO 911.THIS WOULD ANSWER QUESTIONS LIKE.WAS EXPLOSIVES BUILT INTO THE TOWERS WHEN IT WAS FIRST BUILT SO IF THERE WAS A DISASTER THE TOWERS COULD BE BROUGHT STRAIGHT DOWN INSTEAD OF FALLING SIDEWAYS AND KILLING HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS.WHY WOULD THE GOVERNMENT NOT TELL THE CITIZENS THE TRUTH IF THIS WAS THE CASE.WHY DID BBC BROADCAST ON 911 10 OR 15 MINUTES BEFORE BUILDING 7 FELL,THAT IT WOULD BE FALLING AND POLICE WARNING THE PEOPLE THAT BUILDING 7 IS ABOUT TO EXPLODE...GET OUT OF THE WAY.THESE ARE JUST 2 QUESTIONS.WE NEED AN OFFICIAL INQUIRY INTO 911 TO GET THE TRUTH OF WHAT REALLY HAPPENED AND THE BEHIND THE SCENES HAPPENINGS ALSO.WERE THE NEW WORLD ORDER CONTROL FREAKS BEHIND THE 911 ATTACKS.

From Bush to Obama:I can hear you; the rest of the world has heard you and the people who knocked this building down will hear all of us soon, to one who never hears and who only talks down to people through a TelePrompter.Obama and Bloomberg cannot put 9/11 in a box - Judi McLeod Sunday, September 11, 2011-CANADA FREE PRESS

A watching world will see on full display the utter failure of President Barack Obama and New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg during tomorrow’s 10th anniversary of September 11, 2001. In trying to rewrite history, Obama and Bloomberg, in effect, try to steal from the people the true meaning of why citizens the world over will never forget what happened on that fateful day.Revisionists of 9/11 history fail and fail miserably for the truth is it is impossible to micro manage human emotion.
Mayors and presidents can issue officialdom’s never-ending proclamations and decrees. They can ban clerics and first responders from the 10th anniversary of the worst terrorist attack on American soil.They can send out speaking points to which all politicians will dutifully follow; they can even ban the words al Qaeda and jihad from being spoken.While politicians of the day try to ban God from the public square, the words God protect America will be the most overriding ones tomorrow as they are murmured by untold millions, not just at Ground Zero but worldwide on September 11, 2011.The 10th anniversary of 9/11 cannot be put into a box by politicians who use the occasion for photo-ops and re-election plugs. The 10th anniversary of 9/11 belongs to decent people everywhere, who will remember it in their own way.

Politicians like Obama and Bloomberg will don their most mournful expressions to greet television cameras. But millions will be looking past them to undying memories of the horror of people jumping to their deaths from the World Trade Center. People will be remembering the heartbreaking television images of the loved ones of the innocents desperately showing their pictures at Ground Zero, and even 10 years later will still be praying for them.Even the most gullible among us know that politicians will promise anything, say anything, all to cling to power, but that their words are empty and their message self-serving.First responders have been disinvited by the politicians for only one reason: The politicians were far removed from that day ensconced in safety, while the first responders were there, risking their lives to save others. Listening masses tomorrow would hang on their every word, but ignore the shallow bleatings of soapbox politicians.No, try as you might you cannot possibly put 9/11 in a box and instruct people how to remember it. Memories of America’s worst terrorist attack never faded and are as much alive today in the watch of lonely goatherds in far-flung lands and remembered in the tiniest of fishing villages in faraway places.A lot of things changed since that fateful day on September 11, but God isn’t one of them.In one decade we went from a president who, despite his often cited failings, spoke directly to his people from Ground Zero, calling out, I can hear you; the rest of the world has heard you and the people who knocked this building down will hear all of us soon, to one who never hears and who only talks down to people through a TelePrompter.No matter how hard politicians work word to misrepresent it, appeasing terrorists is never the right thing to do.And no matter how they strive for eloquence of speech, outstanding American courage on September 11, 2001 came through in words that speak to the human soul 10 years later. These are words that could never be trumped. For they are the words of Todd Beamer, who will forever hold us in deepest admiration for the greatest country on earth. Those words volley down loudly through a decade of time. Are you guys ready? Let’s roll!

September 11th, Jihad & the Doctrine of Perpetual War
- Kelly O'Connell Sunday, September 11, 2011 CANADA FREE PRESS


Lest we forget, during our mourning for the ten year anniversary of the 9/11 holocaust and its victims, we still battle violent Muslim Jihadists. In fact, there is not only a Muslim holy war being waged upon the battlefields of Afghanistan, but also in the murkier shadows where terrorists eviscerate their unsuspecting victims.
But what is Jihad? The doctrine of Jihad has been both debated publicly and also ignored in the years after the 9/11 attacks. Yet it has a set meaning and use since Muhammad’s days, despite much propagandizing and obfuscations by its apologists. Further, any group opposed by violent Islam shall be permanently attacked since Islamic radicals demand submission or death. Jihad, the Western idea of the Just War, and September Eleventh are the topic of this brief essay, lest we forget the cause of the terrorist butchery.

I. September 11th, 2001

It is a matter of the most solemn remembrance that we recall what happened on September 11th, 2001 in New York City, NY, Washington, DC, and Pennsylvania. As one source describes it:The September 11 attacks were a series of four coordinated suicide attacks upon the United States in New York City and the Washington, D.C. area on September 11, 2001. On that morning, 19 terrorists from the Islamist militant group al-Qaeda hijacked four passenger jets. The hijackers intentionally crashed two planes into the Twin Towers of the World Trade Center in New York City; both towers collapsed within two hours. Hijackers crashed a third plane into the Pentagon in Arlington, Virginia. A fourth jet, United Airlines Flight 93, crashed into a field near Shanksville, PA, before it could reach its intended target in Washington, D.C., after the passengers attempted to take control. Nearly 3,000 died in the attacks.

II. Two World Views: Western & Islamic
A. Muslim World View: Fundamentalism with no Reformation or Enlightenment

To understand the doctrine of Jihad, we must first realize how differently the Muslim world view is from that of the West. Briefly, in the aftermath of the fall of the Roman Empire, the Renaissance, the Reformation, and the Enlightenment, the West developed a liberal manner of dealing with politics, government, and religion. The root word and idea were liberty, or that freedom should be allowed people in what they believed and how they acted, as long as they did not disturb others. This became the classical liberal doctrine of tolerance in the midst of free expression of belief.The result was the Social Contract which delivered peace as a side benefit of allowing matters of conviction to remain private choices. This resulted, ultimately, in the founding of America upon the classic expressions of political liberalism—the Declaration of Independence and Constitution, along with the Bill of Rights. The results have revolutionized the world.On the alternative, Islam has never experienced a Reformation, and is therefore still highly impacted by the values of 7th century Arabia. Whereas the West developed the nation-state theory of sovereign lands, doctrinaire Muslim writers never countenanced such an idea. Instead they taught the Quranic view of society and religion, where church and state are one, no democracy is possible, and the land is ruled by a strong man.

B. Essential Elements of Islamic Convictions

First, the law stands at the heart of Islam, not the religion, according to Joseph Schacht. He wrote,The sacred law of Islam, the Shari’a, occupies a central place in Muslim society, and its history runs parallel with the history of Islamic civilization. It has often been said that Islamic law represents the core and kernel of Islam itself and, certainly, religious law is incomparably more important in the religion of Islam than theology.Second, there is no doctrine of practical separation of mosque and state, even if some Muslim states have practiced such. Third, there are two possible spheres of reality—the lands of the believers versus that of the unbelievers. Fourth, only believers hold unmitigated rights of any kind, but only when they hold tight to the one true faith.

C. House of God v. House of War

The practical outcome of these Muslim beliefs is to turn the world into two opposing, and perpetually antagonistic spheres—House of Allah versus the House of War. This fact then explains why true Islam and those who refuse to accept the teachings of Muhammad must always remain at odds. As Bernard Lewis describes this Muslim idea in The Multiple Identities of the Middle East:The world is divided into the House of Islam and the House of War, the Dar al-Islam and the Dar al-harb. The Dar al-Islam is all those lands in which a Muslim government rules and the Holy Law of Islam prevails. Non-Muslims may live there on Muslim sufferance. The outside world, which has not yet been subjugated, is called the House of War, and strictly speaking a perpetual state of jihad, of holy war, is imposed by the law. The law also provided that the jihad might be interrupted by truces as and when appropriate. In fact, the periods of peace and war were not vastly different from those which existed between the Christian states of Europe for most of European history.The law thus divides unbelievers theologically into those who have a book and profess what Islam recognizes as a divine religion and those who do not; politically into dhimmis, those who have accepted the supremacy of the Muslim state and the primacy of the Muslims, and harbis, the denizens of the Dar al-harb, the House of War, who remain outside the Islamic frontier, and with whom therefore there is in principle, a canonically obligatory perpetual state of war until the whole world is either converted or subjugated.

III. Jihad
A. Moral Struggle v. Holy Warfare

It has been stated many times that the term Jihad in Islam is more properly defined as holy struggle than holy war. Reuven Firestone, in Jihad, The Origin of Holy War in Islam, points out that the word Jihad has no direct connection to war. Yet, it would be better to state that Jihad is a holy struggle most often expressed in terms of violent attack against Islam’s enemies. Firestone states,When the word is used without qualifiers, like of the heart, or of the word, it is universally understood as war on behalf of Islam (equivalent of Jihad of the sword”—jihad al-sayf), and the merits of engaging in such Jihad are described plentifully in the most respected religious works.Firestone describes how the doctrine of Jihad developed, especially as holy war was allowed by Allah to evolve because of the obdurate attitude of the unbelievers. Eventually this developed into a doctrine of total war in the name of God.

B. Jihad as Bloodshed

And yet, Jihad remains a duty of all Believers, both individual and the group, as explained by Rudolph Peters in Jihad, In Classical And Modern Islam. For example, there is an immediate duty to kill all pagans, aka polytheists, according to Peters, who writes,The only reasons an unbeliever should be put to death…is their unbelief. This motive then goes for all unbelievers…Enemies must not be tortured nor their bodies mutilated. The Muslims agree they may be slain by weapons. Controversy exists, however, concerning whether it is allowed to burn them by fire.As to whether once could wage total war, and thereby also destroy the homes and property of unbelievers, Peters reports that while the Prophet’s right-hand man Abu Baker did not allow this, Muhammad did himself.

C. Seven Aspects of Legal Jihad

Peters lists Seven aspects of the legal doctrine of Jihad: 1. Legal Obligation: Muslim communities are everywhere held responsible to wage violent Jihad, even if all members cannot bear a sword; 2. The Enemy: All pagans—ie polytheists (everyone not Muslim, or dhimmi, being Jew or Christian). Christians and Jews can also be targeted under many circumstances; 3. Damage Allowed: Any confiscation or destruction of property, and the enslavement, jailing or death of enemies—except women and children; 4. Prerequisites of Warfare: The enemy must hear first the call to Islam before being attacked; 5. Maximum Number of Foes One Must Not Retreat From: Double the size of the forces of the Muslims; 6. Truce: A truce may be entered for advantage or from fear of extinction; 7. Aims of Warfare: To force dhimmis to either convert or pay the war truce tax “Jizya,” and either convert or kill the rest.
D. 164 Jihad Verses

There are said to be 164 verses in the Quran extolling Jihad. Here are just two:
[2.190] ...fight in the way of Allah with those who fight with you…[2.191] And kill them wherever you find them, and drive them out from whence they drove you out, and persecution is severer than slaughter, and do not fight with them at the Sacred Mosque until they fight with you in it, but if they do fight you, then slay them; such is the recompense of the unbelievers.

IV. Western v. Muslim Just War Theory
A. Western Just War: 6 Elements

In the history of the West, appearing very early, was the notion of the Just War, first articulated by Augustine, but well-outlined by Aquinas and Grotius. According to the standard theory, a Just War must have six elements to be defensible:
1-The war must be for a just cause.
2-The war must be lawfully declared by a lawful authority.
3-The intention behind the war must be good.
4-All other ways of resolving the problem should have been tried first.
5-There must be a reasonable chance of success.
6-The means used must be in proportion to the end that the war seeks to achieve.

B. Islamic Just War

Peters explains that in the classic Muslim war theory, any battle with unbelievers was considered justified. Writes Peters,The classical doctrine of jihad considered all wars against unbelievers as legal wars, sanctioned by the Shari’ah. In Fact, the Shari’ah required that the head of state organize once a year a military raid into enemy territory.

V. Doctrine of Perpetual War & the Cult of the Assassins
A: Submission

Perhaps the most unnerving aspect of the West’s unwanted war with Islamic terrorism is its permanent tenor. On the one hand, America and other nations have long vexed Islamic societies because of our freedoms and irreverence. On the other, the mere existence of a large group of highly successful unbelievers guaranteed at some point violent Islamists would try to take us down. Radical Muslims have launched surreptitious attacks against foes for a thousand years. This will not end till either they, or we, prevail.Let us not forget that Islam means submission to the will of Allah. This denotes the group as a political entity, which all history proves. To become a Muslim merely means verbal assent to Allah and Muhammad. Therefore, conversions by sword is not merely possible, but clearly the most efficient way to bring the world to Allah. And, for example, while Muslims might sign a treaty—up to 10 years long—there is no shame in breaking such, whenever it benefits Islam. In fact, this is highly recommended.

B: Assassin Cult

Consider the murderous cult of the Assassins, an offshoot of Islamic Ismailis. The Assassins would take young boys, groom them into fanatics, then allow them to infiltrate a hated foreign enemy’s camp. There they would assiduously work to gain trust, often over decades, until they got close enough to a king or leader to drive a dagger into his heart when least suspected. Says one writer:Marco Polo brought the remarkable tale of Hasan-i Sabbah and his cult of Assassins to the West. He visited their former stronghold, the fortress of Alamut (Eagle’s Nest), near Tehran, in 1273 C.E., 150 years after the death of Hasan.Beginning just before the First Crusade, the Assassins held the Muslim world in the grip of fear. From his mountain keeps, Master Hasan directed campaigns of holy terror against rivals. Rulers could be struck down at any moment not just by a hidden assailant, but by a beggar or holy man on the street, even a trusted member of their own households. When captured, the attackers were contemptuous of death, resisting severe torture without betraying their comrades, sometimes even naming innocent people as their supporters, causing their deaths as well.Hasan’s organization was clearly a prototype for modern Islamic terrorist groups. In some ways, it is eerily like Osama bin Laden’s. As one historian put it,Hasan’s contribution to the art of assassination was that by careful selection, training, and inspiration he developed the practice into a sacred ritual and the prime weapon of a small state waging war against a great power. Thus, Alamut became the greatest training center of fanatical politico-religious assassins the world has known.In other words, this group prizes martyrdom and murder so highly, one must assume that their entire purpose is to fight for their religion—even in the face of impossible odds. So, of course, they will not give up their war against the West. That is not in their nature or beliefs.

Conclusion

The Price of Liberty Is Eternal Vigilance, claimed Thomas Jefferson. And once we have accepted the obvious—that Islam is destined to a perpetual war against us infidels—our lives become easier. Because we are then on notice who our enemies are, and what their methods shall be. Instead of feeling sorry for ourselves, let’s instead recall that war appears the fate of mankind.In the not too distant past, one of our greatest presidents commented upon the meaning of war and its heroes. Recall the immortal words of President Lincoln’s Gettysburg Address, while we likewise remembering the victims and heroes of 9/11:Fourscore and seven years ago our fathers brought forth on this continent a new nation, conceived in liberty and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal. Now we are engaged in a great civil war, testing whether that nation or any nation so conceived and so dedicated can long endure. We are met on a great battlefield of that war. We have come to dedicate a portion of that field as a final resting-place for those who here gave their lives that that nation might live. It is altogether fitting and proper that we should do this. But in a larger sense, we cannot dedicate, we cannot consecrate, we cannot hallow this ground. The brave men, living and dead who struggled here have consecrated it far above our poor power to add or detract. The world will little note nor long remember what we say here, but it can never forget what they did here. It is for us the living rather to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they who fought here have thus far so nobly advanced. It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us—that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion—that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain, that this nation under God shall have a new birth of freedom, and that government of the people, by the people, for the people shall not perish from the earth.What radical Islam attempts is nothing less than the assassination of world freedom. America’s liberties are what really drive militant Muslims to want to destroy us. Their chief aim is obliterating freedom, and they shall not rest until achieving this. And unless America stands up to these religious bullies, world liberty will always be very much be at risk.

A changed America: Marking 10 years since 9/11 AP By SAMANTHA GROSS and LARRY NEUMEISTER, Associated Press – SEPT 11,11

NEW YORK – Ten years. Of longing for loved ones lost in the worst terrorist attacks to happen on American soil. Of sending sons, daughters, fathers and mothers off to war in foreign lands. Of redefining what safety means and worrying about another 9/11 — or something even worse.Ten years has arrived. And with it, memories. Of that September morning, when terrorists crashed hijacked planes into the World Trade Center and the Pentagon, and a fourth plane crashed into a field in rural western Pennsylvania. Of heroism and Samaritans and unthinkable fear.And of nearly 3,000 killed at the hands of a global terror network led by Osama bin Laden, himself now dead.On Sunday, people across America gather to pray at cathedrals in their greatest cities and to lay roses before fire stations in their smallest towns. Around the world, many others will do something similar because so much changed for them on that day, too.Bells will toll. Americans will see new memorials in lower Manhattan, rural Pennsylvania and elsewhere, symbols of a resolve to remember and rebuild.But much of the weight of this year's ceremonies lies in what will largely go unspoken. There's the anniversary's role in prompting Americans to consider how the attacks affected them and the larger world and the continuing struggle to understand 9/11's place in the lore of the nation.

A lot's going on in the background, said Ken Foote, author of Shadowed Ground: America's Landscapes of Violence and Tragedy, examining the role that veneration of sites of death and disaster plays in modern life.These anniversaries are particularly critical in figuring out what story to tell, in figuring out what this all means. It forces people to figure out what happened to us.On Saturday in rural western Pennsylvania, more than 4,000 people began to tell the story again.At the dedication of the Flight 93 National Memorial near the town of Shanksville, former Presidents George W. Bush and Bill Clinton and Vice President Joe Biden joined the families of the 40 passengers and crew aboard the jet who fought back against their hijackers.The moment America's democracy was under attack our citizens defied their captors by holding a vote, Bush said. Their choice cost them their lives.The passengers and crew gave the entire country an incalculable gift: They saved the Capitol from attack, an untold amount of lives and denied al-Qaida the symbolic victory of smashing the center of American government, Clinton said.They were ordinary people given no time at all to decide and they did the right thing, he said.
And 2,500 years from now, I hope and pray to God that people will still remember this.The Pennsylvania memorial park is years from completion. But the dedication and a service to mark the 10th anniversary of the attacks are critical milestones, said Sally Ware, one of the volunteer ambassadors who has worked as a guide at the site since the disaster.

Ware, whose home was rocked when the jet crashed two miles away, recalled how hundreds of people flocked to the site in the days afterward to leave their own mementos and memorials. She began volunteering after finding one along the roadside — a red rose placed atop a flight attendant's uniform.It really bothered me. I thought someone has to take care of this, said Ware, whose daughter is a flight attendant.Now, a decade later, she said the memorial may do little to ease the grief of the families of those who died in the crash.But the weekend's ceremonies recall a story with far broader reach. The ceremonies honor those who fought the first battle against terrorism — and they won, Ware said.It's something I don't want to miss. It's become a part of my life.On Sunday, the focus turns to ceremonies at the Pentagon, just outside Washington, D.C., and in lower Manhattan for the dedication of the national Sept. 11 memorial. President Barack Obama planned to attend events at the sites and was to speak at a Sunday evening service at the Kennedy Center.The New York ceremony begins at 8:30 a.m., with a moment of silence 16 minutes later — coinciding with the exact time when the first tower of the trade center was struck by a hijacked jet.And then, one by one, the reading of the names of the 2,977 killed on Sept. 11 — in New York, at the Pentagon and in rural Pennsylvania.They include the names of 37 of Lt. Patrick Lim's fellow officers from the police department of the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey.Lim, assigned to patrol the trade center with an explosives detection dog, rushed in to the north tower after it was hit to help evacuate workers. He and a few others survived despite still being inside a fifth-floor stairwell when the building fell.In the years since, Lim said he has wrestled with survivor's guilt. He took shelter in selective memory, visualizing the ground covered with women's shoes amid the destruction.That's how I got through that because what was attached to the shoes was a lot worse,Lim said.

The 10th anniversary has forced Lim to revisit an experience he's worried too many people have pushed from their minds. But the approach of Sunday's ceremonies has convinced him of the value of revisiting Sept.11, both for himself and others.When it happened, talking about the events of that day wasn't easy for me. This was very difficult. But it became ... a catharsis, he said. What I want is for people to remember what happened.And so arrives a Sunday dedicated to remembrance, with hundreds of ceremonies across the country and around the globe — from a memorial Mass at St. Patrick's Cathedral in New York to a ceremony featuring nine-stories-tall replicas of the twin towers on a plaza in Paris.But some of the most powerful ceremonies will likely be the smallest and most personal.In Newtown, Conn., retired American Stock Exchange floor broker Howard Lasher planned a ceremony Sunday morning under the canopy of six maple trees standing alongside his gravel driveway; their trunks are painted to resemble an American flag.Lasher commissioned the painting as a tribute to nine colleagues and the son of another who died inside the trade center.I wanted something that would reach out to people, that people would not forget, Lasher said.And in tiny Brown City, Mich. — with no direct connection to the attacks — firefighters plan to lay 343 roses on a 15,000-pound steel beam salvaged from the World Trade Center, in honor of their New York City brethren who perished. It has already become a local shrine, Chief Jim Groat said.

A few days ago, a couple from St. Joseph, Mich. who happened to be driving through, pulled into the fire station lot when they spotted a sign for the memorial. The woman explained to Groat that she was an American Airlines flight attendant on Sept. 11.Then she turned to face the steel beam from the trade center and cried. She said she was just honored that somebody still cares, Groat recalled.The chief observed silently, before offering an invitation.Will I see you here on Sept. 11? he asked.
I'll be here,she answered.Associated Press writers Adam Geller in New York and Joe Mandak in Shanksville, Pa., contributed to this report.

Video of Collapse of WTC-The US National Terror Alert has distributed a home video of the Twin Towers attack 500 yards from their 36th floor apartment.By Tzvi Ben Gedalyahu First Publish: 9/11/2011, 3:14 PM

The U.S. National Terror Alert has distributed a home video of the collapse of the Twin Towers 500 yards from a 36th floor apartment.Bob and Bri five years ago released their video of the Twin Towers attack, but the National Terror Alert noted that most people probably have not seen the unique views of the towers.Releasing this tape was a difficult decision for us because of its emotional and personal nature and the potential for misuse, said the couple.They explained, We feel, however, that our unique perspective has an important historical value and shows the horror of the day without the soundtracks of hype often seen in other accounts. Bri’s sobs can be heard as the second tower collapses.Noting the 10th year since the 9/11 attacks by Al Qaeda terrorists, President Barack Obama vowed that American will not live in fear...and hunker down behind walls of distrust.He insisted there are signs in the Middle East of a new generation that points to a future that belongs to those who want to built and not destroy.

Op-Ed: 9/11 Attacks Linked to a Wider Moral Malaise
Published: Sunday, September 11, 2011 8:15 AM


This first appeared in the London Times, was sent to Arutz Sheva by the Rabbi's office. Posted here for our ango non-UK readers to see its important message as well.

Chief Rabbi Lord Sacks
Rabbi Dr. Sacks is Chief Rabbi of England since 1991, a member of the House of Lords since 2009. He has authored many books on Judaic thought, appears regularly in the British media and has kindly allowed us to post his essay on the Sabbath Torah reading each week.Published in the Times 8/9/2011-Two things have haunted me since 9/11. The first is the pain, the grief, the lives lost and families devastated, the sheer barbaric ingenuity of evil. The scar in our humanity is still unhealed. The second is our failure to understand what Osama bin Laden was saying about the West. We did not hear the message then. I’m not sure we hear it now.After the shock and grief subsided, two theories began to be heard. The first was that this was an event of epoch-changing magnitude. The terms of international politics had been transformed. The Cold War was over. Another war had begun. This time the enemy was not the Soviet Union and communism. It was radical, political Islam.The second was the opposite. 9/11 was terrifying and terrible but it changed nothing because acts of terror never do. Terrorist campaigns have been aimed at other countries. Britain suffered similarly from the IRA in the 1970s. The most important thing is not to overreact. Terror may bring dividends in local conflicts but it never succeeds in its larger political aims.There is something to be said for both theories. But there is a third, no less consequential. Why did al-Qaeda attack America? Because it believed that it could. Because it thought the US was a power past its prime, no longer as lean and hungry as it believed it was.

Robert McNamara said that the first rule in politics is to understand your enemy’s psychology. As I struggled to understand 9/11 I began to suspect that the answer lay in the events of 1989. That is when the narratives of the West and the rest began seriously to diverge.In the West, 1989 was seen as the collapse of communism, the fall of the Berlin Wall, the implosion of the Soviet Union and the end of the Cold War. The Western narrative was triumphalist. It saw those events as heralding the victory of its values without a shot being fired. The free market and liberal democratic politics had won for the simplest of reasons. They delivered, while communism did not. They would now spread across the world.It was, said Francis Fukuyama in a famous essay, the beginning of the end of history.There was, though, another narrative that few were listening to. It said that the Soviet Union collapsed in 1989 not because of the triumph of liberal democracy but because of the Soviet withdrawal from Afghanistan earlier that year. It had invaded in 1979 and was forced to withdraw, not because of superpower politics but because of the determined resistance of a small group of highly motivated religious warriors, the Mujahidin and their helpers.That, historically, is the event that captured the imagination of Osama bin Laden.According to this account, that one event, the humiliating retreat of the Soviet Army, set in motion a series of internal crises that resulted, months later, in the fall of a great power. If one of the world’s two superpowers was vulnerable to asymmetric warfare — the war of the few against the many — why not the other, America itself? What 1989 represented was not the end of history but the end of a history dominated by the twin superpowers of communist Russia and capitalist America.Both were vulnerable because both were overripe and about to fall from the tree. Much excitement was felt in the West by the failure of communism. Less attention was paid to what Daniel Bell called the cultural contradictions of capitalism.Throughout this period there were voices that few seemed to be listening to. First and greatest was the philosopher Alasdair MacIntyre in his 1981 masterwork, After Virtue. He argued that the moral discourse of the West had broken down.The Enlightenment project of a purely rational ethic had failed — not because there was no such thing, but because there were too many. They clashed inconclusively and people were left with a sense that morality is whatever you think it is.

His minatory warning was: The barbarians are not waiting beyond the frontiers; they have already been governing us for quite some time. That was a scary thing to hear from one of the world’s great philosophers. I soon began to hear it from other leading intellectuals also, such as Philip Rieff, Christopher Lasch and Robert Bellah.That is what I heard in the echoes of 9/11: that all great civilisations eventually decline, and when they begin to do so they are vulnerable. That is what Osama bin Laden believed about the West and so did some of the West’s own greatest minds.If so, then 9/11 belongs to a wider series of phenomena affecting the West: the disintegration of the family, the demise of authority, the build-up of personal debt, the collapse of financial institutions, the downgrading of the American economy, the continuing failure of some European economies, the loss of a sense of honour, loyalty and integrity that has brought once esteemed groups into disrepute, the waning throughout the West of a sense of national identity; even last month’s riots.These are all signs of the arteriosclerosis of a culture, a civilisation grown old. Whenever Me takes precedence over We, and pleasure today over viability tomorrow, a society is in trouble.If so, then the enemy is not radical Islam, it is us and our by now unsustainable self-indulgence.The West has expended much energy and courage fighting wars in Afghanistan and Iraq abroad and defeating terror at home. It has spent far less, if any, in renewing its own morality and the institutions — families, communities, ethical codes, standards in public life — where it is created and sustained. But if I am right, this is the West’s greatest weakness in the eyes of its enemies as well as its friends.The only way to save the world is to begin with ourselves. Our burden after 9/11 is to renew the moral disciplines of freedom. Some say it can’t be done. They are wrong: it can and must. Surely we owe the dead no less.

Netanyahu on 9/11: Terrorism is War of Radical Islam-PM Netanyahu marked the 10th anniversary of the Al Qaeda attack on the United States by calling it a war - of radical Islam.By Chana Ya'ar First Publish: 9/11/2011, 5:20 PM

Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu marked the tenth anniversary of the 9/11 Al Qaeda attack on America Sunday by noting that the terrorists were all Islamists -- and that terrorism is a tool of war.Speaking at the weekly Cabinet meeting in Jerusalem, Netanyahu told the ministers:We are in this struggle, the struggle against terrorism, and while there is no doubt that this is terrorism, it is a tool of war. This is not a conventional war. This is a war of terrorism – by the forces and regimes of radical Islam. Radical Islam threatens moderate Islamic and Arab regimes. It threatens the very existence of the State of Israel and in its linking up with radical regimes, it brings the tools of terrorism – rockets and missiles – to Israeli civilians.This network, which has several heads, composed of two basic movements, denies the principles of progress and peace, and the principles of the twentieth and twenty-first centuries, he continued.They seek to make a historic change, an historic regression, through the use of violence that knows no borders and no bounds. Terrorism is their tool and therefore, we must know that we are in a decade of terrorism, of that same radical Islam that is implanted deep in the expanse between east and west, and – most of all – runs amok in the heart of our region.Netanyahu noted that it is not only Israel who has been targeted by Islamic terrorists over the past decade, nor even at present.Today it hangs over all of us, over the regimes and the stability of the Middle East, over the security of Israel, over the security of Europe and the US and, in my opinion, over the security and stability of Russia and many other countries.This struggle is not over,he warned. We are still in the thick of it.The worst, he said, will be if terrorists manage to acquire nuclear weapons -- the number one fear of Israel and Western civilizations.

It is clear that it will be indescribably disastrous if the radical Islamic forces or regimes acquire the ultimate weapon – weapons of mass-destruction, and the terrorists stand together and are able to operate under the nuclear umbrella of a radical regime, or even with tools for mass-destruction that they acquire, Netanyahu said.Iran, which acts as a major patron of terrorist groups such as Hizbullah, Hamas, Islamic Jihad and other jihad organizations, is in the process of refining its nuclear development technologies. Russia has assisted Tehran to complete construction of its first nuclear plant at Bushehr, which recently was connected to the country's electrical grid for the first time.Iran is continuing to enrich uranium in defiance of all United Nations mandates to cease the program, and appears to be hurtling towards developing of nuclear weapons capability despite denials of an intent to create them.In numerous speeches, Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has also vowed to wipe the Zionist entity (Israel) off the face of the map.Netanyahu warned that the world must take action now, before it is too late.The struggle against radical Islamic terrorism, which is, in effect, a description of the past decade, is at its peak; it is not yet over,he said.We must all unite, countries that aspire to life, certainly the democracies that cherish life, and act in concert against this blight.

Danny Lewin, All-Israeli Hero Killed on 9/11, Remembered-Lewin was the best at everything he did: he served in the IDF's top unit and his algorithms created a firm worth billions.By Gil Ronen First Publish: 9/11/2011, 8:11 PM

Among the people remembered Sunday in Israeli ceremonies commemorating the 9/11 terror atrocities was Daniel Lewin, a true all-Israeli hero who was the best at everything he did. Lewin's life story contains elements that are reminiscent of both Yoni and Binyamin Netanyahu's biographies.Lewin was a mathematician and entrepreneur, best known for co-founding internet company Akamai Technologies.Born in Denver, Colorado and raised in Jerusalem, he served for four years in the Israel Defense Forces as an officer in Sayeret Matkal, the IDF's most prestigious elite unit (which was commanded by Yoni Netanyahu and in which Binyamin Netanyahu served as an officer).He attended the Technion in Haifa, Israel while simultaneously working at IBM's research laboratory in Haifa, where he developed the Genesys system, a processor verification tool that is used widely within IBM and in other top companies.He then traveled to Cambridge, Massachusetts to begin graduate studies at MIT (where Binyamin Netanyahu studied). While there, he and his advisor, Professor F. Thomson Leighton, came up with innovative algorithms for optimizing Internet traffic and reducing loads on servers that would otherwise crash. These algorithms became the basis for Akamai, which the two founded in 1998. Lewin served as the company's Chief Technical Officer and a board member, and achieved wealth estimated at two billion dollars at a certain point.On September 11, 2001, Lewin was killed aboard American Airlines Flight 11 apparently toward the beginning of the hijacking. A 2002 FAA memo suggests Lewin was seated in business class in seat 9B, close to hijackers Mohammed Atta and Satam al Suqami. According to the 9/11 Commission, Lewin may have been stabbed in the throat when he tried to foil the hijacking, not knowing that Satam was sitting just behind him.Ironically, the algorithms Lewin developed made it possible for the Internet to remain functional during 9/11, despite the extreme peak in global traffic.After his death, the intersection of Main and Vassar Streets in Cambridge was renamed Danny Lewin Square in his honor.

Jerusalem Monument to 9/11 Victims Unveiled by JNF-Family members gathered in Jerusalem with dignitaries and leaders to dedicate a monument to the memory of the victims of the 9/11 terror attack.By Hana Levi Julian First Publish: 11/12/2009, 4:15 PM / Last Update: 11/12/2009, 9:12 PM IsraelNN TV

A bright blue sky could not hide the gray shadows of pain that marked the eyes of the families of the victims of the "9/11" terrorist attack that found themselves in Arazim Park in Jerusalem on Thursday. They had gathered together with international dignitaries and Israeli leaders to dedicate a new monument to the their loved ones, who lost their lives in the senseless 2001 attack on America by the Al Qaeda terrorist organization.Designed by award-winning Israeli artist Eliezer Weishoff and commissioned by the Jewish National Fund-USA/Keren Kayemet L'Israel (JNF-USA/KKL), the memorial depicts the World Trade Center and Pentagon through sculpture and landscape architecture.All of the buildings were attacked by Arab terrorists who hijacked commercial airliners and used them as suicide weapons, flying the planes directly into the structures. The two Twin Towers of the World Trade Center in downtown Manhattan, New York, were completely destroyed in the conflagration that followed. The Pentagon, located in Washington D.C., was damaged but not destroyed in the simultaneous multi-site attack.A fourth airliner, aimed at the White House, was stopped from reaching its target by passengers on the plane determined to prevent the hijackers from achieving their goal. They gave their lives to attack the terrorists in their own suicide mission that led to the downing of the plane in a field in nearby Pennsylvania.People from nations around the world lost their lives that morning, among them a number of Jews, including Israelis. Fewer Jewish New Yorkers than usual were present in the Twin Towers on September 11, 2001, however, because many had stopped on their way to work to vote in fiercely-contested local primary elections.

The 30-foot high bronze sculpture commemorating the event and honoring the memories of the victims is composed of a waving American flag transformed into a memorial flame. The monument rests on a base of gray granite, part of which comes from the original Twin Towers of the World Trade Center in downtown Manhattan, destroyed in the mammoth airliner attack eight years ago. The sculpture, which was funded by the Bronka Stavsky Rabin Weintraub Trust, is surrounded by a circular, crater-like plaza and reflection area tiled in stone.The Jerusalem monument is one of the first major international memorials to mark the terrible event and honor the memory of its victims -- and the only site outside of New York to recognize the names of every victim of the attack.Memorial donor and native New Yorker Edward Blank explained that he funded the project as a means of expressing the myriad conflicting feelings he struggled with after the tragedy. My wife died just a few days before 9/11, he said, and then the whole world was sent reeling by the events of that day. I was looking for a meritorious way to recognize the many feelings I was having, and this memorial was the perfect fit.U.S. Ambassador to Israel James Cunningham attended the ceremony dedicating the monument, as did U.S. Congressman Erik Paulsen, who led a delegation from the United States. They were joined by Israeli Cabinet ministers, Knesset members and many families of the victims of 9/11, as well as other distinguished guests.

Did Bible Code Predict Joplin Tornado?
ContributorNetwork William Browning – Sat Sep 10, 10:31 pm ET


The so-called Bible code has been used to show that world events can be predicted. Michael Drosnin's book published in 1998 purports that the original Hebrew text of the Old Testament can find patterns that show names, places and events that have yet to occur.One website claims the devastating Joplin tornado May 22 was predicted in Biblical texts. Bible-Codes.org states they ran a series of codes in their computer and came up with the words terrible tornadoes bracketed by a week that ended with May 22.Another website took the matrix of Bible texts one step further. Words such as the pillar of cloud by day intersected the term Joplin near the phrases in the tornado and surely be put to death.ArkCode.com explains the statistical improbabilities of these terms showing up near each other as astronomical.Although hardly a scientific explanation, using a supposed code to find out future events has been a relatively new phenomenon. Computers use complex mathematical formulas called algorithms to crunch numbers and recognize patterns not readily seen by humans.The Bible code supposedly has predicted the September 11 terrorist attacks, presidential elections and world cataclysms. Might some divine influence had a hand in warning residents of the Midwest of some major tornado?

Even more than three months afterward, residents and volunteers are still looking for answers. People survived or perished due to split-second decisions. The Springfield News-Leader reported Rusty Howard took his two young children to seek shelter in Home Depot where they died just as the tornado hit. Just minutes before the tornado hit, Howard was having dinner at McAlister's with his wife Edie. The restaurant survived completely intact despite being just a block away from the hardware store. The mother survived as she was in a separate vehicle from her husband.The New York Daily News reported Will Norton, who graduated from Joplin High School 45 minutes before the tornado hit, was driving a Hummer down Range Line Road. He was pulled out of the vehicle's sun roof even though he was wearing a seat belt in one of the sturdiest vehicles ever made. Had he driven the truck a little further down the road, he might have survived.There are hundreds of such stories about how instant decisions either caused someone to survive or perish in the massive tornado. For families who lost loved ones, answers as to why those events happened may never come.Despite spiritual or even sometimes weird answers such as a Bible code, no one may truly know why the Joplin tornado killed 160 people and devastated 30 percent of the town. The only answers that matter are those found within each of the people who survived that fateful day in late May.William Browning, a lifelong Missouri resident, writes about local and state issues for the Yahoo!

Egypt vows to try those who targeted Israel mission
By Amena Bakr and Sami Aboudi – Sat Sep 10, 4:55 pm ET


CAIRO (Reuters) – Egypt's army rulers vowed on Saturday to try those behind the violence that pushed Israel to evacuate its ambassador from Cairo, as they struggled to contain public fury against the Jewish state while fending off U.S. criticism.
Washington, which has poured billions of dollars in military aid into Egypt since it made peace with Israel in 1979, urged Cairo to protect the mission after protesters hurled embassy documents from the windows of the building and removed and burned the Israeli flag.Three people died and 1,049 were wounded in the clashes that began Friday and raged on into the early hours of Saturday around the Cairo tower block housing the embassy, the Health Ministry said. Police and soldiers fired shots in the air and tear gas to disperse the crowd, which replied with stones.Egypt's army, under pressure to hand power back to civilians after taking over from toppled president Hosni Mubarak, must balance public calls for a more assertive policy toward Israel with maintaining ties that bring it cash and U.S. military hardware.

Egypt witnessed a harsh day that inflicted pain and worry on all Egyptians. It is clear that the behavior of some threatens the Egyptian revolution,Information Minister Osama Hassan Heikal said in a televised statement.Egypt would transfer those in custody or involved in inciting or participating in (Friday's) events to the emergency state security court, the minister said. Justice Minister Mohamed Abdel Aziz el-Guindy told state television the government had decided to apply emergency laws still in place forcefully and that trials would be swift.Protesters burned tyres in the street and at least two police vehicles were set alight near the embassy. Many had come from a demonstration in central Cairo organised to push the army to end emergency law and speed up political reforms.Our dignity has been restored,said Mohi Alaa, 24, a protester near the site of the overnight clashes. Bits of concrete and bullet casings were strewn over the street.We don't want the Americans' money,he said, reflecting the greater readiness of many Egyptians to express resentment of Israel and the United States after decades of pragmatic official relations.Some 500 protesters stayed after dawn and a few threw stones at police, who gradually pushed them away and secured the area around the embassy, located on the upper floors of a residential block overlooking the Nile.

AMBASSADOR EVACUATED

It was the second big eruption of violence at the embassy since five Egyptian border guards were killed last month when Israel repelled cross-border raiders it said were Palestinians. Egypt then briefly threatened to withdraw its envoy to Israel.Israel has stopped short of apologising, saying it is still investigating the Egyptian deaths, which occurred during an operation against gunmen who had killed eight Israelis.Israeli ambassador Yitzhak Levanon, staff and family members arrived home Saturday, but one diplomat stayed in Egypt to maintain the embassy, an Israeli official said.Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Israel would preserve its 1979 peace with Egypt despite the incident. We are working together with the Egyptian government to return our ambassador to Cairo soon,he said in televised remarks.I would like to ensure that the security arrangements necessary for him and for our staff will be steadfast.The Egyptian information minister's statement followed a crisis meeting of his key cabinet members and talks with Field Marshal Mohamed Hussein Tantawi, who heads the military council that has ruled Egypt since Mubarak stepped down on February 11.State television said the military council rejected an offer by Prime Minister Essam Sharaf to resign.Israel is finding itself increasingly at odds with formerly sympathetic states in the region. It is embroiled in a feud with Turkey, once the closest of its few Muslim allies, over an Israeli raid last year that killed nine Turks on a flotilla bound for Gaza.Egypt's ties with Israel, though never warm, were a pillar of Mubarak's foreign policy and buttressed his claim to be a regional mediator. Under Mubarak, displays of hostility to Israel were crushed by force.

U.S. DEMANDS

President Barack Obama called on Egypt to honor its international obligations and protect the Israeli mission. He told Israel's Netanyahu that Washington was taking steps to resolve the situation.The State Department said Washington had been in contact with Egyptian and Israeli officials over the violence.Israel and Egypt are key partners and allies of the United States, and both states have made clear their continuing commitment to maintain their bilateral relationship and the peace treaty between them, which remains a cornerstone of regional stability,Spokeswoman Victoria Nuland said.Egyptian Foreign Minister Mohamed Kamel Amr said Cairo was committed to fully respect all its international obligations regarding protecting and safeguarding international diplomatic missions on its soil, the state MENA news agency said.An Israeli official said the ambassador, staff and family members had left in one plane and a second one had brought home six Israeli security personnel who had been left guarding the embassy, protected from the crowd only by a reinforced door until Egyptian troops extracted them.British Prime Minister David Cameron condemned the embassy attack and urged Egypt to protect diplomatic property.
Some Egyptian politicians and activists criticised the violence, even if they backed the anti-Israel demonstration.Presidential candidate Hamdeen Sabahy called for the army to take a serious stance matching the public anger toward Israel but said violence sullied the image of Egypt's uprising.Last month, a man scaled the embassy building, took down Israel's flag and replaced it with Egypt's. Protests continued daily but did not turn violent until the latest flare-up.In response to the protests, the authorities had erected a wall around the building, which was quickly defaced with anti-Israel slogans and then painted in Egypt's national colours. Friday, the wall was torn down.(Reporting by Yasmine Saleh, Mohamed Abdellah, Seham Eloraby, Ahmed Tolba and Sami Aboudi in Cairo, Dan Williams in Jerusalem, and Christopher Wilson and Timothy Gardner in Washington; Writing by Edmund Blair; Editing by Janet Lawrence)
