August 20, 2010: Timothy McVeigh was Christian - so we should demolish all churches within two blocks of the Oklahoma City bombing. Right? Of course not.
American Muslims died on 9-11 in the World Trade Center, too.
Please try to weigh this for yourself because you have been lied to by your government and the mainstream media. It is a big lie. The fascists in Nazi Germany somehow knew that big lies are actually more readily accepted by the people, because their minds reflexively refuse to believe that their government would tell lies so big - so they think, it must be true.
The 9-11 attack was not a religious act. It wasn't a group of people attacking the U.S. for our 'freedoms', or whatever. 9-11 was revenge - it was a reaction - to the war atrocities we had committed, and continue to commit, on a massive scale - in Iraq and elsewhere.
Yes, the people in the planes were Muslim. But they were in those planes to tell America to stop killing; that killing begets killing - and eye for an eye. (Pictured left: An American soldier cradles a severely wounded Iraqi child.)
If a foreign power destroyed 500,000 of our children, as we did in Iraq, we'd send a message. We do send messages: Hiroshima, Nagasaki, Dresden - on the heads of civilians - we don't care about civilians, that's a lie - so we should stop the hypocrisy, because I am sick of it.
