“In the name of Allah, the Most Merciful, the Most Compassionate,” a terrorist declares on the Flight 93 cockpit recording. That’s followed by the sounds of the terrorists assaulting a passenger.
“Please don’t hurt me,” he pleads. “Oh God.”
As the passengers rush the cabin, a Muslim terrorist proclaims, “In the name of Allah.”
As New York firefighters struggle up the South Tower with 100 pounds of equipment on their backs trying to save lives until the very last moment, the Flight 93 passengers push toward the cockpit. The Islamic hijackers call out, “Allahu Akbar.”
Mohammed Atta had advised his fellow terrorists that when the fighting begins, “Shout, ‘Allahu Akbar,’ because this strikes fear in the hearts of the non-believers.” He quoted the Koran’s command that Muslim holy warriors terrorize non-believers by beheading them and urged them to follow Mohammed’s approach, “Take prisoners and kill them.”
The 9/11 ringleader quoted the Koran again. “No prophet should have prisoners until he has soaked the land with blood.”
On Flight 93, the fighting goes on. “Oh Allah. Oh the most Gracious,” the Islamic terrorists cry out. “Trust in Allah,” they reassure. And then there are only the chants of, “Allahu Akbar” as the plane goes down in a Pennsylvania field leaving behind another blood-soaked territory in the Islamic invasion of America.
Today that field is marked by the “Crescent of Embrace” memorial.
Thousands of Muslims cheered the attack in those parts of Israel under the control of the Islamic terrorists of the Palestinian Authority. They shouted, “Allahu Akbar” and handed out candy.But similar ugly outbreaks of Islamic Supremacism were also taking place much closer to home.
On John F. Kennedy Boulevard, in Jersey City, across the river from Manhattan, crowds of Muslim settlers celebrated the slaughter of Americans. “Some men were dancing, some held kids on their shoulders,” a retired Jersey City cop described the scene. “The women were shouting in Arabic.”
Similar Islamic festivities broke out on Atlantic Avenue in Brooklyn, a major Islamic settlement area, even as in downtown Manhattan, ash had turned nearby streets into the semblance of a nuclear war. Men and women trudged over Brooklyn Bridge or uptown to get away from this strange new world.At Union Square, I passed NYU students painting anti-war placards even as the downtown sky behind them was painted the color of bone. They ignored the crowd streaming up past them and focused intently on making all the red letters in NO WAR line up neatly on the white cardboard.
In the years since, I have seen that look on the faces of countless leftists who ignore the stabbers shouting, “Allahu Akbar” in London or the terrorist declaring, “In the name of Allah, the merciful,” among the bloody ruin of a gay nightclub in Orlando. Instead they focus on their mindless slogans.
“NO WAR,” “Stop Islamophobia” and “Refugees Welcome.” The world of the cardboard sign and the simple slogan is an easier and neater one than a sky filled with the ashes of the dead.
On September 11, some of us opened our eyes. Others closed them as hard as they could.
The passengers on Flight 93 who took the lead were in their thirties. But the two firefighters who made it to the 78th floor of the South Tower, Ronald Bucca, who did duty in Vietnam as a Green Beret, and Orio Palmer, a marathon runner, were in their forties. Those men and women had the most meaningful answers to the old question, “Where were you when it happened?”
The great lesson of that Tuesday morning was that it wasn’t over. It wasn’t over when we understood that we wouldn’t find anyone alive in that twisted mass of metal and death. It wasn’t over when the air began to clear. It wasn’t over when the President of the United States spoke. It wasn’t over when the planes began to fly again and the TV switched from non-stop coverage of the attacks and back to its regularly scheduled programming. It wasn’t over when we were told to mourn and move on.
It still isn’t over.
After every attack, Boston, Orlando, San Bernardino, New York, Paris, Manchester, London, Barcelona, we are encouraged to mourn and move on. Bury the bodies, shed a tear and forget about it.
Terrible things happen. And we have to learn to accept them.
But Tuesday morning was not a random catastrophe. It did not go away because we went back to shopping. It did not go away with Hope and Change. Appeasing and forgetting only made it stronger.
“Where were you?” is not just a question to be asked about September 11, 2001. It is an everyday question. What are you doing today to fight the Islamic terrorists who did this? And tomorrow?
Our enemies wake up every day wondering how to destroy us. Their methods, from demographic invasion to WMDs, from political subversion to random stabbings, are many.
A new and terrible era in history began on 9/11. We are no more past it than we were past Pearl Harbor at the Battle of Midway. Its origins are no mystery. They lie in the last sound that came from Flight 93.
“Allahu Akbar.”
We are in the middle of the longest war in American history. And we still haven’t learned how to fight it.
September 11 has come around again. You don’t have to run into a burning building or wrestle terrorists with your bare hands. But use the day to warn others, so you can answer, “Where were you?”

Concerning the September 11, 2001 attacks, thoughts for all those who died, who suffered. For all the firefighters, police officers, rescue workers.
Two good videos that I just watched so as not to forget:
– Shocking 9/11 Home Videos And First-Hand Accounts — This documentary chronicles the firsthand experiences of New Yorkers during the September 11, 2001 attacks. Through personal home videos and raw narration, it captures the shock, fear, and resilience of individuals witnessing the tragedy unfold. The film presents a vivid mosaic of the chaos and unity that marked that day, highlighting the immediate reactions, emotional struggles, and the community’s response. It serves as a powerful tribute to the indomitable spirit of New York City, providing an intimate and poignant perspective on one of America’s darkest days.
– 9/11: The Firefighters Story | Our History — An intimate and moving portrayal of the lives of three New York firefighters in the year following the World Trade Center disaster of September 11, 2001.
Best!

If I hear somebody say “allahu Akbar” I’m going to punch first and maybe ask questions later. On second thought, I wouldn’t ask any questions. Either I’d beat his ass or he’d beat mine.
Alexander Scipio says
A confident country would have nuked Riyadh, Mecca, Medina on 9/12. “it” won’t be over until either islam or the West has been destroyed. Right now the odds are on the latter…

MSM is part of the ruling deep state Oligarchy and cleverly paints misleading pictures lolling its viewers to sleep.
dani says
lolling the sheep to sleep – yes, the msm is indeed an evil bunch, and they sure proved it last night
Jeff Bargholz says
Yes, that debate was a shit show.
Jeff Bargholz says
I don’t even watch network T.V., much less the Mono stream Media. To be honest, I don’t even know how to watch network T.V, even though my Samsung has hundreds of channels. I’m watching Deadpool and Wolverine right now. I love Hugh Jackman. He’s an underrated actor.

Do you mind if I mention a pet peeve….social media fools so very sure two huge planes filled with fuel at high speed couldn’t make a building fall, Also idiotically posting “its an inside job!”.thus implying Islamic terror wasn’t involved, And my all time not favorite “there were no planes it was CGI”
To all of those lefty haters and Hamas supporters in thin disguise, I was right there and observed both planes and saw felt and smelled the aftermath. Also saw muslim coworkers cheer snd celebrate ( very confusing to me at the time-not now).
So, please get a new hobby.

Thanks Cat !!!!!

My wife woke me up to watch that. It was appalling. I was so furious I was barely able to think.
Raymond in DC says
I was in my office across the Potomac. The Twin Towers had already been struck. Mid morning the building shook. Then someone looked out the director’s west-facing windows. The Pentagon had been hit and we could see it burning. We’d experienced the shock wave of the impact and explosion. About 30 minutes later everyone was told to evacuate.

Clever of Daniel to refer to Muslims in America (Jersey City, Brooklyn) as “settlers.” Good one, Daniel, and absolutely true. From now on, that’s what I will call the Muslims who have relocated here. They’re “settler colonials.”
Jeff Bargholz says
They’re the scum of the Earth.
Spurwing Plover says
How could both Structures fall from the base down when the were attacked from the Middle?
Jeff Bargholz says
They fell because they had jetliners fly into them, you retard.
Arty says
You’re a perfect example of why I say dealing with a troublesome minority is child play compared to dealing with the filth among our own people.

Gravity and mechanics.
Nicolas Carras says
“Gravity and mechanics.”

Nicolas Carras says
The thousands of tons above were no longer supported by where there was the impact and thousands of degrees of heat that weakened the place of the impact, they collapsed on the rest. It’s not more complicated than that.
The stupidity that pushes you to write your comment, will weaken your entire structure, and you will collapse one day or another.
Like the Twin Towers.
Jeff Bargholz says
Derp. Derpity, derpity doo.
Jeff Bargholz says
And I’m going to live forever.

Basically, the metal girders that were the structure of the building melted.
Arty says
‘We are in the middle of the longest war in American history. And we still haven’t learned how to fight it‘
That’s because we have to simultaneously fight a huge segment of our own society.
Thomas E. Warwick says
Americans have no clue…not a single one…of how close we are to extinction.
Nicolas Carras says
“not a single one”
Do you know all the Americans? I’ll tell you about an American. He’s a poet. He has clue. But ideas are not enough. That’s why he has a weapon with his idea. and a horse, and when a stranger enters his property, he shows him his idea (Believe it or not, the horse is the most convincing.).
internalexile says
Not only do we not know how to fight the war, we have yet to even acknowledge that there is a war.

my bullet lube pad is soaked in bacon fat. works great and the aroma is nice too.
Miranda Rose Smith says
Deae Mr. Greenfield: You were in lower Manhattan on 9/11? So was my brother. He was looking for his wife, who worked in the World Trade Center. Ultimately, he called his apartment and found out she had made it safely home. A dear friend of mine, who has since died of cancer, may she rest in peace, was also there. A year or two after the attack, I visited her at her office. She led me to a window. She said “I stood at this window and watched the towers fall. G-d can forgive them. I don’t have to.”⁷
