On The 25th-Year Anniversary Of The 9/11

vol 9.7.26

While the American left continues to foment “war weariness” with the Iranian conflict and while we observe our twenty-five-year anniversary of 9/11, it is important to understand that the Iranian regime plotted with bin Laden’s minions to conduct the most lethal attack on the US mainland ever.

Moreover, as I report in my book, Lessons from Fallen Civilizations, the Iranians conspired and aided in the ’83 bombing of our embassy in Beirut, the ’96 bombing of the Khobar Towers in Saudi Arabia, the downing of TWA flight 800 off Long Island, and hundreds of our soldiers killed in Iraq from Iranian-made IED’s. In short, the thugs running Iran have been waging war on America for 50 years while, until Trump, we did nothing…

…In February 2008, Imad Mugniyah was blown into globs of protoplasm, by a car bomb on a well-to-do Damascus street, near the Syrian intelligence offices. His long and storied terrorist career was made possible by the ascendancy of Tehran as the world’s headquarters for Muslim terrorism. Although no person or entity took credit for the hit, much was already known about the “high-value target.”
CIA agent, Robert Baer, during the Clinton years, was one of a very few American intelligence officers able to penetrate the Islamic terror networks. In his landmark book, See No Evil, he proves that Iran provided training, finances, logistics, and diplomatic cover for militarized Muslims who attacked the United States continuously from 1979 to the present. And even more ominously, the Shiite Iranians have partnered with Sunni state-sponsored terrorist organizations to do so. He proved that the two strains of militant Islam had united in terrorist operations against the West…
…Mugniyah, a Lebanese Shiite, was the Iranians’ point man. For twenty-five years, he was the regime’s perennial liaison to the various terrorist teams who carried out the most spectacular attacks against Israel and the US. Mugniyah provided the Iranians with the perfect operative who had both an unquenchable thirst for killing the Infidel and complete plausible deniability.
…on July 26, 2001, in a backwater US Embassy in Baku Azerbaijan, a high-level Iranian security official, Hamid Reza Zakeri, walked in. He told the receptionist that he wanted to speak to the CIA because he had information related to the security of the United States. He explained to the station chief, “Joan,” that in his capacity as a high-level security officer at Iran’s Ministry of Information and Security (MOIS) headquarters, he observed “Arabs” training pilots and briefing them on their appointed targets. He even described models that were on the table in the meeting room—the World Trade Center, the White House, the Pentagon, and Camp David.

He told her that the attack was coming from the air, that Arab pilots had already left for America, and the date for the attack was 9/11/01.

Joan called for backup. Several days later a senior CIA officer, “George,” arrived from headquarters to debrief the “Baku walk in.” He immediately decided that Zakeri was peddling lies, paid him $200, and told him to get out. The information that could have saved 3,000 lives never passed up the chain-of-command…

On the anniversary of 9/11, as we remember the horror of seeing our fellow citizens leaping from the flaming World Trade Towers, it is also important to keep in mind that Islam is a warlike supremacist ideology which proudly proclaims a lust for the destruction of Judeo Christendom. In Lessons from Fallen Civilizations, I write:

Pew Research did the largest study of American Muslims ever conducted in May 2007. The company surveyed 55,000 (Muslim American) people, conducting the interviews in English, Arabic, Farsi, and Urdu. While the multiculturalists at Pew tried to put a happy face on their study, giving it an upbeat title, the report revealed horrific warnings for Americans.
For example, in its summary they concede that “just 40% of Muslim Americans say groups of Arabs carried out the 9/11 attacks.” They reported that 5% were willing to say out loud to a pollster that they had a favorable opinion of al-Qaeda while another 27% refused to answer the question. With two to three million American Muslims in the US at the time of the study, between 500,000 and 750,000 Muslims (roughly one in four) favored the actions of their coreligionists who attacked the U.S. on 9/11 and are actively seeking to detonate WMDs in our cities.
Globally there are 1.2 billion Muslims. Abdel Baset al-Megrahi, better known as the Lockerbie Bomber, killed 270 people by blowing up flight 103. Released by the Scottish government in 2010, he was greeted by adoring crowds and given a hero’s welcome in Tripoli. From this and so many similar indicators, we can surmise that there are hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of jihadists who wake up every day plotting to destroy the West, and who are financially supported by a much larger host of fellow Muslims.
As described in the beginning of this book, Muhammad was a ruthless warlord. The founder of Islam massacred his enemies in battle, beheaded his male captives, and took their women as concubines. We know he said, “He who leaves the religion, kill him.”
Consequently, Reliance of the Traveler, the single most authoritative book of Sunni jurisprudence says, “When a person who has reached puberty is sane and voluntarily apostatizes from Islam, he deserves to be killed.” Furthermore, over the fourteen centuries since Muhammad’s death, Islamic scholars have all agreed that there are no aspects of the Prophet’s life that can be questioned. Rather, his life is the standard by which all other lives are to be judged.
We can conclude that there is nothing “radical” about militant Islamists at all. They are simply imitating the Prophet. Of course, this is not to say that all Muslims are militant terrorists. As Bernard Lewis points out, “Although not all Muslims are terrorists, nearly all terrorists are Muslim.”
While Islamic warriors were ravaging southern France in AD 732, there were millions of peaceful civilian Muslims of the Caliphate going about their business, living in the newly conquered, formerly Christian, capitals of what are today Syria, Egypt, Lebanon and North Africa.
Those peaceful Muslims were (as most are today) unconcerned that their jihadist brethren murdered and pillaged the European infidels in the name of expanding the lands of Islam (dar al Islam). Likewise, the jihadists, pillaging Europe in the beginning of the eighth century, were no doubt secure in their belief that they were merely following the blessed example of the Prophet.

Freedom is always under siege.
