The eighth anniversary of the devastating terrorist attacks on United States soil and murder of 2,996 innocent men, women and children on September 11, 2001 serves as a poignant reminder of the historical events that define the depravity of mankind’s lowest common denominator. The citizens of both Israel and the United States are no strangers to these acts of heinous barbarism committed by a cowardice enemy. A nexus between the historical events in the month of September clearly illustrates the incessant threat of Islam that endangers and encroaches upon Western Civilization.
Before the end of the 19th century, the eminent Orientalist Sir William Muir correctly framed the issue without foreknowledge that the Grand Mufti of Jerusalem would one day shake the hand of Adolf Hitler in Berlin, thus transferring this baton to Islamic jihadists some sixty years later.
“The sword of Muhammad and the Quran are the most fatal enemies of civilization, liberty, and the truth which the world has yet known.”
Nearly two hundred seventy-nine years after the Pilgrims landed at Plymouth Rock in December 1620, Sir Winston Churchill, the future prime minister of England, issued a prophetic warning regarding the modus operandi of this enemy to Western Civilization.
“Individual Moslems may show splendid qualities, but the influence of the religion paralyzes the social development of those who follow it [Islam]. No stronger retrograde force [Islam] exists in the world. Far from being moribund, Mohammedanism [Islam] is a militant and proselytizing faith.”
Muir and Churchill possessed both the insight and discernment to comprehend the inherent dangers from this formidable threat of Islam to Western Civilization. While revisionists arrogantly deny the salient facts of historical records, their intellectual dishonesty does not withstand the rigorous pursuit of a truthful examination. Europe is collapsing under the stranglehold of Islamic dhimmitude, while Islamic terror cells aided by the support of the Muslim Brotherhood and Council on American Islamic Relations (CAIR) are actively proliferating in the United States.
The fateful events of September 11, 2001 forever sealed a bond between Israelis and Americans, Jews and Christians. Israel and the United States are strategic partners and friends as this relationship was formed during the birth of the modern state of Israel on May 14, 1948. Students of history recognize that the first Pilgrims in America referred to William Bradford and Cotton Mather as Rabbi. This special bond between Jews and Christians is duly noted by H.E. Michael Oren, Israeli Ambassador to the United States.
“The roots of American support for Israel go back hundreds of years—indeed to the day that the first buckled shoe alighted on a rock along the Massachusetts shore. The owner of that shoe, William Bradford, proclaimed, ‘Come let us declare in Zion the word of G-d.’”
The birth of the United States as a Judeo-Christian nation aided by the American Revolutionary War financier Haym Salomon and the prophetic fulfillment of Israel’s birth as a modern nation are crucial obstacles to Islam’s underlying goal to establish a world wide caliphate. While the 19th of September 2009 marks the beginning of the Jewish New Year – 5770, historians are cognizant of the advent of Islam when the Muslim caliph Abd al-Malik built the Dome of the Rock over the Temple Mount in Jerusalem in 687 C.E. Centuries later, this epic struggle between Western Civilization and Islam only intensifies as parties dispute claims over rightful ownership of Yerushalayim and Eretz Yisrael. Terrorism against innocent lives is condoned by the Muslim umma to achieve their aims in this bloody and unrelenting war.
What lessons are to be learned regarding the recent historical events in the month of September and their nexus to the incessant threats from Islam to Western Civilization??
September 1970 – “Black September” – the Palestinian uprising and all out revolution against the government of Jordan resulted in the murder of thousands of Palestinians, the expulsion of thousands more from Jordan, and the founding of the Black September Organization ultimately responsible for numerous acts of terror. The Black September Organization later became the Palestinian Movement that carried out the Munich Olympics Massacre of eleven innocent Israeli athletes in September 1972. This massacre of innocent Israelis shocked the world and set the stage for a legacy of terror in the decades to follow.
One year prior to the tragedy that struck to the core of the United States on September 11, 2001, the second intifada erupted in Israel on September 28, 2000 during a visit by Israeli opposition leader Ariel Sharon to the Temple Mount, the site of the Al-Aqsa Mosque. The end result was 10,000+ rockets raining down on Israel and the murder of over 900 innocent Israeli men, women and children before the commencement of Operation Cast Lead in December 2008. Nevertheless in January 2009, the conclusion of this IDF military offensive did not achieve an end to the rockets which continue to strike Israeli civilian population centers with the latest terrorist attack in Sderot on August 31, 2009. Israel faces an existential threat from Iran, yet Barack Obama wants Israel to give up her nuclear weapons. That is sheer insanity!
What does the future hold for September 2009?
In Chicago on the weekend of 12-13 September 2009, anti-Semitic organizations and individuals from around the United States will be gathering for the US Campaign to End Israeli Occupation. Here is an interesting historical note: in the mid 1890s, the first Jewish American Zionist organization, Chicago Zion Society, in the United States was organized in Chicago. Less than 120 years later, an ominous cloud of darkness has descended over Chicago where we are witnessing a dramatic increase in anti-Semitism.
Palestinian Rashid Khalidi, a close friend of Barack Obama, is the featured guest speaker for this anti-Semitic hate conference in Chicago. The main focal points for this anti-Israel and anti-US conference include Boycott and Divestment, Challenging US Policy, Standing against Apartheid, and Commemorating the Nakba. The utilization of this terminology illustrates the framework of the propaganda machine generating hatred toward our democratic values and the extremes taken to find a scapegoat. While Rashid Khalidi attempts to erase his past, he served as an official spokesperson for the Palestinian Liberation Organization (PLO) and PLO news agency, Wafa. Steve Emerson, Executive Director for the Investigative Project on Terrorism, notes the following terrorist entities exist in Chicago: Palestinian Islamic Jihad, Hamas and Al Qaeada. Add the pro terror supporting, anti-Israel and anti-US organization Hizb ut-Tahrir to this list. Do not forget the support base provided to the US Campaign to End Israeli Occupation from the existing tentacles of CAIR and the Muslim Brotherhood which exercise stealth jihad in the United States and their insidious tactics of “libel lawfare.”
As Barack Obama prepares to address the United Nations on September 26, 2009 and discuss the execution of his plans to divide Jerusalem and force a two state solution at the expense of Israel, Barack Obama has already shown his contempt through his witch hunt with Attorney General Eric Holden of the patriotic, brave men and women who have safeguarded our country from future terrorist attacks since September 11, 2001. While Barack Obama embraces his Islamic roots and appeases the Islamic world, he thereby aids and abets the very enemy of Israel, the United States and Western civilization. The reality of the leadership of Barack Obama and course of direction of his current administration in Washington, DC is far more insidious than Neville Chamberlain in 1938.
