When one hears the group name ‘September 11th Families for Peaceful Tomorrows,’ one likely envisions an assembly of mourning family members, who seek justice for those who took their loved ones’ lives, on the day Muslim terrorists flew planes into the World Trade Center and Pentagon. However, while this entity may very well consist of relatives of those who perished on 9/11, the main goal of the group is not to bring justice to the terrorists, but to assist the terrorists by claiming that they too are ‘victims.’ Katherina Feil, is a founder/leader of this outrage, and together with her CAIR-affiliated husband they make up a power couple for radical Islam.
Jacob Bender and Katherina Sabine Feil reside in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. From there, Bender serves as the Creative Director for the Philadelphia chapter of the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR). Previously, he served as Executive Director of the chapter.
CAIR has foundational and financial ties to Hamas. CAIR was established, in June 1994, as a part of the Muslim Brotherhood’s US Palestine Committee, under the leadership of then-global head of Hamas, Mousa Abu Marzook. In 2007 and 2008, CAIR was named by the US government a co-conspirator for two federal trials prosecuting CAIR’s fellow Palestine Committee member, the Holy Land Foundation (HLF), and its associates for raising millions of dollars for Hamas. CAIR used its websites to raise funds for HLF, and CAIR’s Texas chapter founder, Ghassan Elashi, was HLF Board Chairman.
On September 4, 2022, Bender was honored with an award, at a banquet for the Islamic Society of North America (ISNA), who like CAIR was named an HLF co-conspirator. When HLF began, in 1988, ISNA’s (then and current) mailing address was used to receive HLF donations. Among ISNA’s founders was Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ) leader and convicted terrorist, Sami al-Arian. During Bender’s ISNA talk, he claimed he had received $200,000 from Saudi Prince Alwaleed bin Talal for a documentary film he had directed. In April 2002, Bin Talal pledged $27 million to a Saudi telethon believed to have raised money for Palestinian suicide bombers.
It is ironic that Bender, a Jew who lived in Israel for a number of years and even worked at the Yad Vashem Holocaust memorial, would be involved with entities associated with violence against his fellow Jews.
Feil, who grew up in Germany, also has somewhat of a Jewish background; her mother’s father was a Jew. She learned about it years past her childhood, as it had been kept a family secret to protect from the Nazis. Like Bender, Feil spent much time in Israel, and she was a curator at Yeshiva University Museum in New York City. Also like Bender, today, Feil is involved with something incredibly controversial. She is the Director/Project Coordinator of September 11th Families for Peaceful Tomorrows, a project of the Tides Center and a group that has a history of hindering fellow 9/11 victims and advocating for people involved in terrorism against the US.
September 11th Families for Peaceful Tomorrows has been lobbying President Biden to release $7 billion to Afghanistan. The funds had been frozen to keep them from the Taliban, following the Biden Administration’s botched 2021 pullout from Afghanistan that left the Taliban in charge. This has pitted them against other 9/11 families, who have been fighting to see the funds go instead to 9/11 victims. Biden has pledged half to Afghanistan and half to the victims, saying none will reach the Taliban. Yet, UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres said, “It is impossible to provide humanitarian assistance inside Afghanistan without engaging” the Taliban.
For over a decade, Peaceful Tomorrows has called for the closure of Guantanamo Bay prison, which holds many of the world’s most dangerous terrorists, including 9/11 mastermind Khalid Sheikh Mohammed (KSM). In April 2011, the group expressed its “profound disappointment” that KSM was to be tried in a military commission. In a September 2020 article on the group’s website and co-written by its Guantanamo Committee Chair Colleen Kelly, Kelly backs: the “immediate transfer” of KSM and four others involved in 9/11; the “repatriation or resettlement” of all remaining 35 detainees; and the US paying for their “rehabilitation and reintegration.”
Recently, Peaceful Tomorrows filed Amicus Briefs in court on behalf of alleged terrorists Abu Zubaydah (October 2021) and Majid Khan (June 2022), claiming and/or insinuating that the rights of these two have been violated by the US government. Zubaydah is allegedly a high-ranking member of al-Qaeda, who was thought to be close to Osama bin Laden. Khan is a former courier for al-Qaeda, who, according to the US government, “purposefully and materially supported hostilities against the United States.”
Peaceful Tomorrows has been a roadblock to stop other 9/11 families from being compensated for the loss of their loved ones and from seeing that the terrorists who murdered their loved ones find justice for their actions. We have to ask ourselves why this group would seek to hinder their fellow Americans, who have suffered greatly and continue to suffer, and at the same time stomp on the memories of the fallen victims by providing assistance to the terrorists. To answer this, we must look into who the group is cavorting with, and we should look no further than Katharina Feil’s husband’s terror-related organization, CAIR.
For years, CAIR has co-sponsored a Day of Action with Peaceful Tomorrows to call for the closing of the Guantanamo Bay facility. In June 2021, CAIR co-signed with the group – along with the South Asian terror-related Islamic Circle of North America (ICNA) – a letter to President Biden calling for an end to “extrajudicial killings” overseas. And in October 2016, CAIR co-sponsored a 9/11 “Commemoration,” featuring a film, which discusses the Peaceful Tomorrows’ founding. The contact for the event was none other than Jacob Bender.
The utter perversity of a group of 9/11 families partnering with CAIR is further amplified by the fact that CAIR was named as a defendant in a 9/11 terror lawsuit brought by the Estate of FBI agent John P. O’Neill, Sr., who was killed in the World Trade Center attack. The class action complaint states, “Council on American Islamic Relations and CAIR Canada (collectively, CAIR), have aided, abetted, and materially sponsored al Qaeda and international terrorism.”
It is no doubt that September 11th Families for Peaceful Tomorrows’ intentions are malevolent. The group does not want to bring justice to the terrorists; it wants to free them. The group does not want to help the families of the victims; it wants to hinder them. But what is even worse is that some wish to legitimize the group. Peaceful Tomorrows has participated at a US Senate Judiciary Committee meeting, and it has, on more than one occasion, been nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize.
Peaceful Tomorrows’ agenda needs to be exposed and scrutinized, and its cynical exploitation of the September 11th attacks to push its radical agenda must be stopped. It is time that people understand what this group is truly about, because what it is not about is advocating for 9/11 families.

“Is this who we are?”
No, but it’s who you should have been, but it’s too late now the clock cannot be turned back, George Bush was wrong to call it the religion of peace, but at the time he, like everyone else was in deep shock.
I recall the media mocking Bush’s stunned reaction to the news whispered in his ear. That was a turning point for me, whilst the legacy media ignored the massive celebrations in Palestine they picked out Bush looking confused.
You guys tend to be very black and white, but also the most welcoming people I’ve met, which is an interesting combination, manifesting itself on the internet in fascinating ways.
Bush’s reaction was a planned act… he knew what was going to happen on 911…
These Luciferian Globalists were behind 911… allowing satanic worshiping muslims to attack and kill Americans…
Ever since 911… these Luciferian Globalists have been helping, aiding and funding the expansion of satanic islam…
Now we deal with illegals in America… who are gaining political positions across all our cities…
That speech by Bush did more harm to America by disguising the true intent of Islam. I don’t know who gave him that corrupt definition but it was probably an Islamic Scholar or an Imam, who according to Islamic tradition and mandates was obligated to lie about the true nature of Islam.
Yes- very likely.
The answer to the question is: No. That’s not who you are. You’re worse.
As for the most intellectually challenged *president ever to hold office, what part of giving MORE billions to our enemies does that idiot not comprehend to be a bad idea!?
(To be fair, the Big Guy has trouble remembering what happened five minutes ago.)
CAIR is a terror organization, whose members, supporters, and officers are terrorists. Straight up. They should be treated as terrorists.
allahu’s Snackbar!! The place for all your pork needs.
Dhimmitude at work
These islamic loving Luciferian Globalists allowed satanic islam to attack and kill Americans on 911…
Just like they created CV19 to kill Americans…
Just like they created these Microbot Injecting Vaccines to kill Americans…
Just like they ship in satanic worshiping muslims to replace all those dead Americans…
Part of this article reads “Katherina Feil, is a founder/leader of this outrage, and together with her CAIR-affiliated husband they make up a power couple for radical Islam.”
With sentence it should be made known that On the subject of topics of “Rad Islam” and “Moderate Islam” as well as the terms “Radical Muslims” and “Moderate Muslims,”
Those who are moderate Muslims do strive to enact Sharia law in America by non-violent methods,.
In contrast to “Radical Muslims” who like and supports al Qaeda , ISIS Hezbollah and other similar jihad terror entities and about such so called words as “Islamism’ and Islamist”
Therefore this is a very appropriate to make known a very important message
For that Western term “ Islamic extremism” it’s really not fitting term as the following explains
Likewise , the words “Islamist” and “Islamism” is a fake words that used that was made up after September 11, 2001 in order offend or upset non-violent Muslims. The real, actual, word is just “Islam.” Likewise, the word “Islamist” is also a bogus word that was made up after 9/11 in order not to offend or upset peaceful Muslims. To keep with reality, terms should better be used as “Islamic terrorist” or “Muslim terrorist” . Let’s call people and thing as the really are.
Likewise ,the terms Islamic extremism” and “Islamic extremist” as well as “Radical Muslim” is actually a misuse of terms. “Moderate Muslim” are actually Western term and not that well known in the Islamic Middle East. This is because what In the Islamic mindset in the Muslim Middle East as well as in Indonesia and other Muslim controlled countries what the non-Muslims of the Western nations view as “radical and “extremist” the Muslims of those places in the world see as “Normal” and even Devout and committed to the Cause of Islam.”
Furthermore, those “Moderate Muslims” are those of the Islamic worldview and non-devout and non –committed Muslims. The violent jihadists even see them as “hypocrites.” Therefore, this explains the jihadist chant of those jihad-minded Muslims in different Islamic terror organizations. When they chant out loud “Death to infidels and hypocrites.” Meaning Death to people who and not Muslims and people who are non- jihadist Muslims.
Concerning the last part of this above essay, the violent spirit of that vicious jihadist chant “Death to infidels and hypocrites.” The later word of the chant “hypocrites” in the jihad –minded Muslim worldview is further explain in the book titled JIHADIST PSYCHOPATH by Jamie Glazov , for on page 42 the reader is informed that “Islam mandates that devout and real Muslims must punish , and in some circumstances kill, those Muslims whom they regard as neither legitimate nor properly devout.”
In this article contains the statement that “Katherina Feil, is a founder/leader of this outrage, and together with her CAIR-affiliated husband they make up a power couple for radical Islam.”
Regarding the subjects of “Radical Islam” and “Moderate Islam” many scholars on Islam ,such as Brigitte Gabriel and Robert Spencer, had explain that the terms “Radical Islam” and “Moderate Islam” Western terms and are unknown to the Islamic world. As one of their leader said “Islam is Islam”
Furthermore, a Muslim in an Islamic country would view that a Westerner would call a “Radical Muslim” in a Muslim nation he would be seen as a “devote Muslim” who is totally committed to the cause of Islam by the way of the violent jihad,
By contrast what a Westerner would call a “moderate Muslim’ many Muslims in Asia as well as the Middle East call a Muslim who is not really living up to his faith in Islam by not taking up arms in the violence and killing of the jihad for Islam.
Therefore many of Muslim, overseas , would call him a “hypocrite” This is way many devote Muslim who are violent jihadists gather together in a group and chant “Death to infidels and hypocrites ” Meaning “Death to non-Muslims and non-violent, jihadist Muslims.
There is no moderate muslim nor is there a radical muslim… There are just muslims practicing islamic teachings.
The moderate muslim will hold the feet of the infidel in order for the radical muslim to cut off his head.
