After September 11, 2001, according to Obama and Biden, the United States was “blinded by rage,” leading to a military rampage abroad and “Islamophobia and distrust” at home. That invites a look back at the actual aftermath.
“The search is underway for those who are behind these evil acts,” President George W. Bush said on 9/11. “We will make no distinction between the terrorists who committed these acts and those who harbor them.” Even so, there was no massive military campaign against nations such as Iran, a major sponsor of terrorism, and Pakistan, where 9/11 mastermind Osama bin Laden found refuge. President Bush was also at pains to distance the attack from any connection with Islam.
“The face of terror is not the true faith of Islam,” Bush said on September 17, 2001. “That’s not what Islam is all about. Islam is peace. These terrorists don’t represent peace. They represent evil and war.” Muslims “make an incredibly valuable contribution to our country, and they need to be treated with respect,” Bush said. “Women who cover their heads in this country must feel comfortable going outside their homes,” and so on.
The CIA and FBI failed to prevent 9/11 attack, and Bush responded by creating another bureaucracy, the Department of Homeland Security. Another misguided move came on the military side. The deadliest attack on the United States since Pearl Harbor would be a good time to vet the military for Islamic jihadists. No such vetting took place, with deadly consequences.
Every person enlisting in the U.S. military must solemnly swear “that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; and that I will obey the orders of the President of the United States and the orders of the officers appointed over me, according to regulations and the Uniform Code of Military Justice. So help me God.”
American-born Muslim Nidal Hasan took that oath but openly proclaimed himself “a soldier of Allah.” Commanding officers knew Hasan was a partisan of Osama bin Laden, yet kept him in the ranks in the interest of “diversity,” supposedly a source of strength. Hasan was also an unprofessional psychiatrist yet military bosses lowered standards and deemed him fit to counsel troops departing for duty overseas.
Hasan came to the attention of the FBI for the 18 emails he sent to terrorist mastermind Anwar al-Awlaki. The soldier of Allah wanted Awlaki’s permission to kill American soldiers and innocent civilians in the cause of jihad. “Please keep me in your Rolodex in case you find me useful,” Hasan wrote, “and please feel free to call me collect.”
That rang alarms at the FBI’s Joint Terrorism Task Force in San Diego, and agents alerted the Washington Field office. The WFO found that Hasan was not “involved in terrorist activities,” and dropped the surveillance. Hasan took full advantage.
At Fort Hood on November 5, 2009 – 14 years ago last Sunday – Hasan yelled “Allahu akbar” and began gunning down soldiers. His 13 victims included private Francheska Velez, 21, who was pregnant. Hasan would have killed many more if civilian police officer Kim Munley had not wounded the terrorist. For Obama, the Muslim’s mass murder was a case of “workplace violence,” not terrorism or even gun violence. The lessons went unlearned.
In 2013, a military court sentenced Hasan to death but failed to carry out the sentence. In September of 2021, after Biden’s disastrous withdrawal from Afghanistan, Hasan proclaimed
“We Have Won!!! All-Praises be to All-Mighty Allah! Congratulations on your victory over those who hate for the Laws of All-Mighty God to be supreme on the land.” The convicted murderer was doubtless thrilled by the terrorist bomb that claimed the lives of 13 Americans.
Joe Biden claimed the withdrawal was an “extraordinary success.” Emboldened by Biden’s weakness and incompetence, Islamic terrorists continued to menace the United States and strategic ally Israel. Biden initially called the October 7 attack “pure unadulterated evil,” but quickly pivoted to false claims about America’s “Islamophobic” response to 9/11. The Delaware Democrat also demanded a “pause,” in Israel’s campaign against Hamas.
According to Obama, the 10/7 attack was “horrific,” and there was “no justification for it.” The former president provided no detail about the civilian victims, including women and children, and the hostages taken by Hamas.
“What is also true is the occupation,” the former president said, “and what is happening to Palestinians is unbearable.” That drew applause from the adoring audience at Obama’s foundation. On the other hand, the “madness of antisemitism” was something from “stories” told by grandparents and great grandparents of Jewish people.
The former president issued no direct condemnation of the antisemitism now raging among Democrats. No word from Obama on the sulfuric hatred of Jews now ringing out on prestigious university campuses, including Harvard, his alma mater. That comes as no surprise from the president who described Nidal Hasan’s terrorist attack as workplace violence.
From 9/11 to 11/5 to 10/7, what goes around comes around. More than ever before, the struggle against antisemitism and Islamic terrorism is the struggle of memory against forgetting.
Beez says
Obama and Biden should be waterboarded until they confess their roles in the conspiracy to destroy the US.
Essie Ghetler says
Totally unnecessary; the handwriting is writ large on the wall and as a result, confessions are unnecessary. Only common sense is.
Don Davenport says
When the moron went to a mosque days after 9-11 and declared “Islam is peace.”, I knew then it was a lost cause.
David Ray says
The milquetoast Bush also invited islamists to the White House to sooth any hurt feelings they might have.
He slunk away from the word “crusade” – a noble endeavor in history.
He perpetually called islam the “religion-of-peace”, and worried about muslim women feeling comfortable when wearing a hijab; forgetting that the religion-of-peace will beat a woman to death if they DON’T wear it.
His worst move was to shrug-off sealing our borders tight. A Mexican smuggled in a dirty-bomb as a result.
He & that crybaby idiot Norman Mineta labored to ensure islamic assholes got endless coddling, which ensured that the “six flying imams” could pull an ostentatious dry-run, then sue the airline for damages.
So you’re absolutely correct. Bush baked in failure from the start.
WhiteHunter says
I voted for both Bushes both times.
The Old Man made fools of his base by repudiating his “Read my lips! No new taxes!” vow and caving-in to George Mitchell’s demand for a big tax increase, and then by publicly and spitefully resigning his NRA Membership when we refused to support him for re-election after he stabbed us in the back with new, “tough” restrictions and bans on our guns–another thing he promised, in his nomination speech, that he’d never do.
Junior–never exactly the brightest bulb in the box–idiotically insisted that islam is a “religion of peace,” by instantly spiriting all of bin laden’s relatives out of the U.S. through that week’s empty skies instead of impounding and auditing their wealth and holding them for interrogation, and by insulting us with his warnings that “there’d better not any [non-existent] ‘backlash’ against mohammedans here”; of course there’ve never been any.
My eyes have been opened to the supercilious, condescending arrogance of the entire Bush Family, including to their corrupt but highly lucrative dealings with our enemies after reading Peter Schweitzer’s “Red Handed.”
To the Bushes, you see, we, the American people, are “N.O.C.D.”–“Not Our Class, Dear”–useful only for our votes, our small campaign contributions, and to clear the dishes from the tables at their country clubs. Other than that, it’s “Just sit down and shut up!”
David Ray says
I also voted for Bush43 twice, but of course, I’d have voted for any fool over Al Gore or shithead Kerry.
What pissed me off most about Bush jr, is he smugly said he saw “no voter fraud” in 2020 (he did no research at all), when he almost had HIS election stolen by Al Gore.
He had fully exhausted my patience with him when he secured Border agents Ramos & Compeon jail time for shooting an illegal alien drug-dealer in the butt.
(They should’ve been awarded medals for it, but Bush wanted to send a message – open borders uber allis!)
WhiteHunter says
I remember the Ramos/Compeon case vividly, and I still curse Bush out loud whenever I do.
The thuggish Federal prosecutor, one Johnnie Sutton, was determined to send the two agents to prison no matter what it took. He literally sent Federal agents into Mexico to find the “wounded” drug smuggler and offer him full immunity(!) to come back to the U.S. for his “testimony” against the two heroes.
Ramos and Compeon were “convicted” in a rigged kangaroo court on the basis of the smuggler’s testimony and, incredibly, sentenced to prison.
There, one night, all the guards suddenly “disappeared,” and the two agents were beaten almost to death. When reporters confronted the warden about the episode, she(!) refused to reply, and fled.
And Bush, instead of instantly pardoning Ramos and Compeon in the first place and ordering Sutton to be the one beaten to death in prison while serving, oh, say, 20 years-to-Life, stood indifferently by, hands in his pockets, and allowed this outrage to unfold.
G*d damn him and his father and their entire effing family!
lisa_norway says
Obama: “What is also true is the occupation”, This is a LIE.
There is no occupation!
Can all of us please repeat that. Daily. Everywhere.
Israel has the right to the land – from the river to the sea – according to real international law (not UN res).
San Remo, the Mandate, League of Nation, UN art. 80.
And victory in defensive wars ´48, ´67, ´73.
The arabs there have civil rights, not national rights.
Without the worldwide false claim about “occupation” there is no more dispute.
Other that the original cause of the conflict; jew hatred.
David Ray says
Jug-eared Barry can go eat shit. He’s nothing more than high-priced trash who was an acolyte of Saul Alinsky (Alinsky’s hatred of America cannot be overstated.)
Israel should kill or evict every islamist fascist from the entire strip.
As for Sleepy, FJB and the mail-in ballots he rode in on.
WhiteHunter says
Sometimes I wonder whether today’s Jews, worldwide, and the people and Government of today’s modern, independent, sovereign State and Nation of Israel, should file a lawsuit in the International Court of Justice in The Hague against the modern, present-day Egypt, for “Reparations” for the Pharaoh’s enslavement of the Israelites, some 3- or 4-thousand years ago.
It would be laughed at, of course, and never be “tried.”
But maybe it might get press coverage, and “make a point,”
And that, and its congruence with what the “Palestinians” are demanding, and the Movement here in the U.S. for “Reparations” for slavery to those who have never been slaves, from those who were never slaveholders,
And then Prime Minister Netanyahu, when asked about the lawsuit by a gaggle of antisemitic Israel-haters at a press conference, could reply, “We Jews don’t hold grudges for centuries, or thousands of years. We just want to live our lives, that’s all. So let us do that, without murdering mothers, fathers, and babies by beheading them in their cribs or roasting them alive in microwave ovens, okay?”
As a “publicity stunt,” why not?
DARRYL NELSON says
Conservative leadership this time around, the Douglas Murrays and Ben Shapiros, are fully on board this time around that Islam is NOT a religion of peace. FPM no longer stands alone on that issue.
. The “I’m okay, your okay,” multicultural response is dead.
Hamas is Iran/s baby and let Iran watch as their favorite son is incinerated in the fires of Gaza that burn hotter than any oven.
David Ray says
Hear,hear! 🍻🇺🇸
And mail the infantile shitheads parading for Hamas over there to join the smoldering ruin.
Then bulldoze, clean up, & populate the strip with Israelis.
Frank Ross says
Actually… American-born Muslim Nidal Hasan took the Oath of Commissioned Officers – he wasn’t an enlisted member.
“I ___, do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; and that I will well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office on which I am about to enter. So help me God.”
RS says
His God is not Yahweh, its Allah.
David Ray says
There are two Gods.
One is the Heavenly Father of our Lord Jesus Christ; the other one is “the god of this world” [2Corinthians 4:4] i.e. the devil.
islam’s lordship is to the latter, as manifest by their pure evil.
George says
It is a policy in islam that it is perfectly fine to claim you aren’t a muslim when speaking to infidels.
Jeff says
You’ll be able to update this piece soon. Whenever that text goes out to any one of the sleeper cells here in the US, thanks to Obama’s opening of the borders of America.
staffsgt7 says
The face of terror/war/slavery/pedophilia/polygyny/thievery/lies/propaganda are indeed the face of islam! The ‘moderates’ are as irrelevant as the ‘moderate’ nazis and commies were and are. In fact, they are indeed helpful in spreading the propaganda/lies that islam is about peace or some such nonsense as we hear/read all the time.
Thanks to the mentioned POTUS’ we got moslems infiltrating every institution we have and they are allowed to lie – even when taking the oath of office.
Here are 7 words, from Islam, relating to not telling the truth about Islam in order to benefit or advance Islam. Also known as jihad – jihad by the word/pen. Jihad being an obligation upon all moslems to do and it is talked about as being a war 97% of the time, or aggression, against non-moslems. Deception is one tactic of war/jihad.
– Taqiyya – saying something that isn’t true to benefit Islam;
– Tawriya – intentionally creating a false impression re Islam, creative lying;
– Kitman – lying by omission – for example, quoting a fragment of verse 5:32 (that if anyone kills “it shall be as if he had killed all mankind”) while neglecting to mention that the rest of the verse and the next mandate murder for “corruption” and “mischief;”
– Muruna – ‘blending in’ by setting aside some practices of Islam or Sharia in order to advance others;
– Taysir – deceit through facilitation;
– Darura – lying out of necessity.
– Hiyal (singular hila ‘contortion, contrivance; device, subterfuge”) is ‘legalistic trickery” in islamic jurisprudence. It allows the breaking of oaths, contracts per sharia law. (lying when taking an oath of office)
Reliance of the Traveler Book (authorized by al Ahzar University and the Muslim Brotherhood front group, the IIIT) r8.2 tells Muslims they are obliged to lie in order to achieve an obligatory aim that can’t be done by telling the truth. It’s obligatory to spread Islam
Skip says
Suspect Bush was blinding us rater than misreading Islam on his Religion of Peace crap.
Islam is only about subjugation
Ruckweiler says
That Hasan is still drawing breaths is itself a tragedy. He’s given the death penalty and it appears that he’ll live a natural life span. Bet the number of people, myself included, who’d finish this guy off would be quite large.
Alkflaeda says
Maybe he should be offered to Hamas in exchange for American hostages. He sounds like a completely loose cannon who was not good at his original job, so he won’t be an asset to them.
David Ray says
Good idea, but only as long as he’s mailed over there with his balls sewn in his mouth.
Tex the Mockingbird says
Clinton(Bill)Obama and Biden Traitors/Globalists to America with the M.S. Media covering up their Crimes all their supporters should just hide away for the rest of their lives
Turtler says
Why am I not surprised you are still peddling propaganda from that vile pedophile?
You think the GOOD News is that Iran and Hezbollah are doing “Escalation Management”? RAPE AND MASS MURDER ARE THE ESCALATION, there would be NO WAR without that.
You’re morally bankrupt, as well as a massive idiot and totalitarian ,terrorist shill. Of course, I knew this from fisking your nonsense regarding the Ukraine War, but I wish I were surprised it goes this far..

Which autistic coder provided that information?
Roark says
Islamophobia means an irrational fear of Islam. There are very rational reasons to fear Islam.
Does anyone remember what we have been going through with Islam since its inception? Does anyone remember 9/11? Or what they did in Israel a month ago? The horrific inhuman massacre that achieved incomprehensible levels of sadism and cruelty. All done in the name of Allah and sanctioned by Moslem religious leaders.
Has anyone seen paying attention to the horrific demonstrations in our cities? The violence. The anti-American, anti-Semitic chants.
That’s not imagined; it’s extremely visceral.
Islamophobia is a concocted word designed to make you deny reality.
Mo de Profit says
I’m proud to be islamaphobic
Kasandra says
Well the very belief at the heart of Islam is that the world is divided into the lands governed by Sharia (Dar al-Islam – the abode of Islam) and those that are not (Dar al-Harb – the abode of war) with Muslims being obligated to bring the latter into the former by conversion or conquest until the whole world is in Dar al-Islam and being governed by Islamic law. Who wouldn’t have a legitimate fear of that?
Kasandra says
I know I’ve told this true story in the pages of FPM but, to reiterate, I had a friend during the Obama administrations who worked in the intelligence community in counter-terrorism. He retired early because all of his work was being returned to him by his superiors with them telling him that, because his reports would inevitably involve discussions of Islamic doctrine as part of his analysis, the White House would reject it out of hand.
Roark says
By its very definition, “Islamophobia” means an irrational fear of Islam. However, as this article points out, there are very real, visceral and rational reasons to fear Islam.
So what is the real purpose of the Left creating a pay-op process to “rid” people of their real fears of Islam?
It is to deprive people of their natural basic survival instinct. It is something everyone feels in their bones when they are in a precarious situation – the hair standing up on the back of your neck.
They want you to deny this very important response and accept Islam as your Master. They want to prepare you for subjugation and execution. They are preparing Americans for their enslavement under Sharia Law.
We can already see it in action as Moslems are not even indicted for murdering Jews on the streets anymore. That is a fact. Ponder that…
