The Events of September 11th: There is a saying, "The hater writes them; the fool publishes them; and the idiot believes them." This applies to the rumors that people both spread and believe; it describes the creation of rumors in all their stages. Yesterday [Friday, September 11, 2015] was the anniversary observed in the United States of America on what is called "September 11th." This was the miracle that came to America in the form of terrorism--which offered her the invasion of Islamic countries (headed by Afghanistan and Iraq), which she saw as a great threat--on a golden plate. The first had an Islamic government, while the second was a mighty Arab state in the Middle East. Without any doubt, the events of September 11th claimed thousands of innocent lives, and violated the basic belief of religions, that civilians should not be harmed in any war. Yet, for its sake, millions of blameless souls have perished--though one state has been spared. One state that exists only on the map. The events of the Arab Spring, or the despicable chaos that is its true name, were a part of this "September [11th] Strategy," that the U.S. pursued in sending her armies into Afghanistan and Iraq. The American army destroyed their regular armies, but found that it could not destroy their irregular forces. This is what drove her to foment that reprehensible chaos--an ancient plan to destroy states completely--which was carried out to the letter in all the lands of the Arab Spring. The result was not only thousands of refugees and deaths in every part of the world, but also the huge humiliations that have become the fundamental malaise of the Arabs in everything they do. Thus [the events of September 11th] are but an American media creation, no matter how some may try to label them as"Islamic terrorism." They were indeed terrorism, but terrorism American style‚--terrorism that sweeps away and annihilates whole countries, and not those few buildings in the midst of New York City.
American society has come to live in fear of all that is Muslim or black due to the state-controlled media. And I would add: It is a fear that will turn into confidence in all that is Muslim, because what the American media present is nothing more than a lie that has no relation to reality. This will lead to the spread of Islam.The post also links to an article by Arjun Walia at the Collective Evolution website. Walia contends people have been "conditioned" to believe terrorism "threatens us," and that Western nations are fighting the good fight against those "who have supposedly committed a number of atrocities on Western soil. This couldn't be further from the truth," he insists. He further states "it's a well documented fact that Al-Qaeda was a creation of the CIA--there are multiple sources which show that--and it seems that ISIS might not be any different," adding there is "no proof" Middle Easterners pose a threat to our safety. Rather, it is "corporately owned media groups that have been consolidated in the hands of a few, like CNN that are responsible" for what he describes as a "false flag terrorism "run by covert operations designed to deceive and manipulate in such a way as to appear as though they had been carried out by groups, nations, or entities other than those who actually planned and executed them." 9/11 is one such example. This week, Mohamed joined his son and the rest of the family in Saudi Arabia, the latest stop on a tour that began in Qatar when an invitation to visit that nation was extended by the Qatar Foundation for Education, Science and Community Development. Their sister institution, the Qatar Foundation International (QFI), has links to the Muslim Brotherhood (MB). The Saudis picked up the next leg of the trip, sponsoring a family pilgrimage to Mecca that included Ahmed's uncle Moussa Al-Hassan. According to the Arab News, al-Hassan kept the theme alive insisting the "ordinary American citizen lives in a state of fear of Arabs because of the American media's portrayal of him as an extremist terrorist." Ahmed himself played the game as well. "It was really sad that she took the wrong impression of (my clock) and I got arrested," he told reporters. Ahmed also filmed a "come meet the clockmaker" video for the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) for their 21st "Champions for Justice" Anniversary banquet held in Arlington, VA on Oct. 17. That would be the very same CAIR that launched an Islamophobia.org website in 2014 in an effort "to monitor and challenge the growing anti-Muslim bigotry in American society"--even though the organization itself remains an unindicted co-conspirator in the Texas Holy Land Foundation trial where several people were convicted of providing material support to the U.S. designated terror organization Hamas. While in Saudi Arabia, it might be useful for a family seemingly attuned to the injustices of religious intolerance, to explore the policies and traditions of what is arguably the most religiously intolerant nation on earth. Government policy in Saudi Arabia prohibits the building of churches. Yet at the same time it not only promotes the most virulently intolerant version of Islam known as Wahhabism domestically, it spends billions to export it all over the world. Its most recent effort in that regard was an offer to build two hundred mosques in Germany, a country inundated with Muslim "refugees" the Saudis themselves want no part of, despite having 100,000 air-conditioned tents capable of housing up to three million people. As for traditions, there aren't many nations that would grant Ahmed's sister, Eyman, also suspended from middle school in the same district in 2009, less rights and privileges than the nation where a women who reported she was gang-raped was sentenced to receive more lashes than her alleged rapists, because she was not accompanied by a male escort when the crime occurred. Mohamed Elhassan Mohamed and his entire family are free to take any political positions they choose. Yet what began as something that might be construed as a reasonable response to a school district's zero tolerance over-zealousness, has deteriorated into something best described as an Islamophobia awareness tour, all the requisite amount of America-bashing included. It remains to be seen if an equally tone-deaf President Obama will further promote that agenda when Ahmed and company meet with the president on White House Astronomy Night next Monday.
