9/11- They Forgot

Perhaps it really isn't fair to say they forgot. After all, they are celebrating 9/11- it's Patriot Day, it's a day of compassion, a day for service. So, it may be unfair to say the liberals forgot. They just never understood it in the first place.

After all, CNN has been running a weeklong series of articles about 9/11- on the sufferings of Muslims since 9/11. There will be a program at the site of the Twin Towers, but with no mention of religion permitted, and the families of first responders and victims are neither invited nor welcome. A vigil was scheduled at the National Cathedral with Mr. Obama expected to attend. It was to be an interfaith service, with "two Episcopal bishops, a rabbi, a Tibetan monk, a Buddhist nun, a Buddhist lama, a Hindu priest and a controversial Muslim imam from a mosques (sic) whose former leader was charged with a terror offense shortly after 9/11. The vigil also featured an Afghan musician, Humayun Khan." No Catholic or Evangelical Christians welcome there, either. Interestingly, the service had to be moved after a gust of wind blew a crane over at the National Cathedral. In the law, that's called an "Act of God," but of course it couldn't really be, could it?

The liberals in the government, the liberals who plan these programs, the liberals reporting in the media, and the liberals in the general population just never got it, and they still don't.

It is an article of faith in Liberalism that all fundamentalists of any religion are just uneducated and superstitious. They also accept as an article of faith that it is the Christians who are dangerous- not because they are generally physically dangerous (you can make fun of them all you want), but because of their crazy ideas. Given those premises, all religions opposing Christianity are good, and must obviously be on the side of Liberalism.

That's why you see stories all over the place where the media is showing us how Tolerant and long-suffering the Muslims are, and explaining that the "terrorists" are not "real" Muslims. They tell us that the poor terrorists don't really understand their own religion. They omit any mention of Islam as a support for the cause of terrorism. When they recap the events of 9/11, they omit all of the dancing in the streets in the Muslim world which was recorded, and so utterly puzzled them, on 9/11.

Liberals, due to their philosophical prejudices, cannot even comprehend the idea that the Prophet pronounced death to infidels, that refusing to openly accept and practice Islam marks them as infidels, and that fundamental practitioners of Islam do actually intend to kill them along with all other infidels. That is one of the components of jihad. Nobody gets a pass; there are no "civilians" since all must accept Islam, and any true Muslim who dies in the jihad becomes a martyr entitled to enter Allah's Heaven.

After the bombing at Pearl Harbor in 1941, there was virtually unanimous resolution to combat the enemy which assailed the U.S. There was only one dissenting vote to the declaration of war on an enemy which had openly attacked. Now, however, the confusion sown by Liberalism has grown to dangerous proportions. Paul Krugman, in a Times editorial demonstrating liberal "thought," calls Bush a "fake hero" who just cashed in on the publicity to fight a war he wanted to fight. We have elected a President who openly celebrates Islamic holidays, but "forgets" or is "too busy" to celebrate Christian holidays as America has historically done, and we have a government generating thousands of pages of policies promoting outreach to Muslims. Rather than combating the ideology which threatens us, our government and media pretend it doesn't even exist, and that it is only our intolerant failure to embrace Muslims that drove these misguided men to terrorism.

The suffering and death that occurred on and since 9/11 must be remembered, and if those who died are not to be mocked, the true cause must be likewise remembered. America must resolve to step out of the blind faith of the liberals, and recognize that the ideology of fundamentalist Islamism represents the ongoing threat to not only the U.S. but to all the free world.
