Question:
What is your opinion on 9/11?
2008-09-11 16:52:16 UTC
I find that day to be a horrific day in history. Al-Qaeda completely disgusts me, and is a complete disgrace to Islam. May Allah grant those souls who died on 9/11 peace, especially those who sacrificed their life for others.

there were more horrific days like nuking hiroshima/nagasaki.

i wonder why people forgot that !

when it comes to america people say "america doesnt deserve this"

iraqis didnt deserve what they are going through !

have some sense plz

list of the omissions of The 9/11 Commission Report 1. The omission of evidence that at least six of the alleged hijackers---including Waleed al-Shehri, said by the Commission probably to have stabbed a flight attendant on Flight 11 before it crashed into the North Tower of the WTC---are still alive (19-20).



2. The omission of evidence about Mohamed Atta---such as his reported fondness for alcohol, pork, and lap dances---that is in tension with the Commission's claim that he had become fanatically religious (20-21).



3. The obfuscation of the evidence that Hani Hanjour was too poor a pilot to have flown an airliner into the Pentagon (21-22).



4. The omission of the fact that the publicly released flight manifests contain no Arab names (23).



5. The omission of the fact that fire has never, before or after 9/11, caused steel-frame buildings to collapse (25).



6. The omission of the fact that the fires in the Twin Towers were not very big, very hot, or very long-lasting compared with fires in several steel-frame buildings that did not collapse (25-26).



7. The omission of the fact that, given the hypothesis that the collapses were caused by fire, the South Tower, which was struck later than the North Tower and also had smaller fires, should not have collapsed first (26).



8. The omission of the fact that WTC 7 (which was not hit by an airplane and which had only small, localized fires) also collapsed---an occurrence that FEMA admitted it could not explain (26).



9. The omission of the fact that the collapse of the Twin Towers (like that of Building 7) exemplified at least 10 features suggestive of controlled demolition (26-27).



10. The claim that the core of each of the Twin Towers was "a hollow steel shaft"---a claim that denied the existence of the 47 massive steel columns that in reality constituted the core of each tower and that, given the "pancake theory" of the collapses, should have still been sticking up many hundreds of feet in the air (27-28).



11. The omission of Larry Silverstein's statement that he and the fire department commander decided to "pull" Building 7 (28).



12. The omission of the fact that the steel from the WTC buildings was quickly removed from the crime scene and shipped overseas before it could be analyzed for evidence of explosives (30).



13. The omission of the fact that because Building 7 had been evacuated before it collapsed, the official reason for the rapid removal of the steel---that some people might still be alive in the rubble under the steel---made no sense in this case (30).



14. The omission of Mayor Giuliani's statement that he had received word that the World Trade Center was going to collapse (30-31).



15. The omission of the fact that President Bush's brother Marvin and his cousin Wirt Walker III were both principals in the company in charge of security for the WTC (31-32).



16. The omission of the fact that the west wing of the Pentagon would have been the least likely spot to be targeted by al-Qaeda terrorists, for several reasons (33-34).



17. The omission of any discussion of whether the damage done to the Pentagon was consistent with the impact of a Boeing 757 going several hundred miles per hour (34).



18. The omission of the fact that there are photos showing that the west wing's façade did not collapse until 30 minutes after the strike and also that the entrance hole appears too small for a Boeing 757 to have entered (34).



19. The omission of all testimony that has been used to cast doubt on whether remains of a Boeing 757 were visible either inside or outside the Pentagon (34-36).



20. The omission of any discussion of whether the Pentagon has a anti-missile defense system that would have brought down a commercial airliner---even though the Commission suggested that the al-Qaeda terrorists did not attack a nuclear power plant because they assumed that it would be thus defended (36).



21. The omission of the fact that pictures from various security cameras---including the camera at the gas station across from the Pentagon, the film from which was reportedly confiscated by the FBI immediately after the strike---could presumably answer the question of what really hit the Pentagon (37-38).



22. The omission of Secretary of Defense Rumsfeld's reference to "the missile [used] to damage [the Pentagon]" (39).



23. The apparent endorsement of a wholly unsatisfactory answer to the question of why the Secret Service agents allowed President Bush to remain at the Sarasota school at a time when, given the official story, they should have assumed that a hijacked airliner might be about to crash into the school (41-44).



24. The failure to explore why the Secret Service did not summon fighter jets to provide air cover for Air Force One (43-46).



25. The claims that when the presidential party arrived at the school, no one in the party knew that several planes had been hijacked (47-48).

You sound like a very kind person, we are living in the last days of a dieing old system in which men are so cruel to each other and it is very sad. When those young men saw the children and family's and old people on those planes I had to think how could they continue.

Then watching the pictures of people in the middle east a women crying over her dead loved ones it broke my heart. Suicide bombers are everywhere not just the USA they are killing their own people as well as making life hard for everyone who lives in the region.

If they would stop fighting the US soldiers and the others would come home and leave them alone. We need for those of us who are tired of the death and fighting to just say NO! The killing needs to stop.

9/11 was in Inside Job. When Bush first came into office he wanted a way to invade Iraq. Someone in his circle came up with the terrorist attacks on 9/11. They had 7 months to plan and execute this. And the towers came straight down at free fall speed into their own footprints. Can you say, "Controlled Demolition?"



Al Queda had nothing to do with it. If they did, Osama bin Laden (the head of al Queda) would be wanted by the FBI for the terrorist attacks on 9/11. But he's not. Don't you think that we should have put someone on trial for 9/11 by now?

I agree with you soo much, I watched a video today in Law Education and it was so horrible it made me tear up. There were four planes taken over by them that day. & One was to Washington DC, One of to Pennsylvania, and two were towards the twin towards The Twin Towers. It was a horrible day. The Washington flight was the last one to set off on flight and the passengers helped save George Bush because the plane was heading towards the White House. Just imagine the two thousand + people who died that day. That's why I feel so lucky to live in such a small state. Them guys were horrible people & just used the passengers on the flight as part of their suicide plan..

I think it was a horrible day in our history, and it's impact reached across the world, both directly and indirectly. Ask anyone where they were or what they were doing and most Americans can tell you exactly. And most of us know at least one person who "should have been on one of the planes" or was on one of the planes, or someone who used to work in the offices, or someone whos uncle worked as a janitor at the pentagon. Point being, this touched all of us, and the aftermath has been a disaster for all parties involved. It's been 7 years now, how many more is it going to take to stop being in "Post 9/11" reality and return to "reality"



Ameen to your du'a
2008-09-11 17:06:51 UTC
Indeed it was horrific but is to say Al-Qaeda is to blame....? Please refrain from uttering falsehood when you know not. Why is it that not many people stand up to this so called war n terrorism that is taking place in Iraq, what will you then applaud those troops and Bush....? The War is Illegal it goes against so many human rights yet Bush still went ahead with it, Iraq is not a treat.



make Du'a for all those who are opressed



EDIT: Indeed the killings are not justified no sane perosn would say they are, what is your proof, show me- Thankyou

Yes that happened in 01 how come no one says anything about that, dont you feel the pain, the Terrorists are the Troops and none other! may Allah (swt) deal with them



EDIT: Can you read dear we accept it was a HORRIFIC EVENT and not justified, why will you not then stand up and make dua for those who are oppressed by these so called brave soliders!
2008-09-11 16:57:43 UTC
I agree. the events of 9/11 have dealt islam a blow from which it may never recover.



and I agree, may God have mercy on the souls of those who died on 9/11. but when you say 'especially those who sacrificed their life for others', you're not talking about the terrorist pilots, are you?
2008-09-11 17:37:37 UTC
I completely agree with Muhammed K. When it comes to America everyone sympathizes and is upset, even though it happened seven years ago. What about Iraq, about a million have been killed so far. why does no one care about them, or the Palestinians who have been suufering for 60 years? just goes to show when your a superpower people tend to suck up more.
2008-09-11 17:17:33 UTC
They weren't a representation of Islam. All I know is, that those people who killed innocent civilians were doing wrong, and it goes against morals, and peace. It was wrong, wrong, wrong. It was sad. It was disastrous, tragic, and life-changing.



Muslims weren't the only ones impacted. Regardless of religion, and what people may think what happened, it happened. And the reality of it was, people died, and it was a horrible day for everyone. [Beside, the tyrants]
2008-09-11 16:54:49 UTC
If you are indeed Muslim, you are a shining example that Islam in not a dangerous religion. Only those radicals are to be blamed for death.



People forget that the Clinton administration had more than enough evidence to stop Bin Laden. At one point, we did have him, but Clinton was too busy with two affairs and trying to be impeached (which eventually happened). People forget about the 1993 attack on the WTC, and the video Bin Laden released shortly after saying he will return to finish the job.



9-11 was horrible and life changing for the families who lost the loves of their lives. This day should have never happened

I think the Osama bin Laden is a very small member of Al-Qaeeda.



The Biggest Boss of Al-Qaeeda at present (since Long) is George W. Bush. e.g. President of USA.

The Will of Allah and/or the Curse of Allah - some of the modern plagues sent down by Allah to infidels who hate and murder Muslims and to hypocrites who misrepresent Quran and Islam and both sides of the fence are hit.



Allah must first decree before it comes to pass.

i think of 9/11 as a tragedy not jsut what happened on that day, but the consiquesnces the followed it. Muslims were given a bad name. Many people lost their lives on that day, many people fought bravely, many suffered. I feel horrible i i think about the fact that someone would do such a thing.

I think it was horrible. This is how it impacted America:



The USA PATRIOT Act, commonly known as the Patriot Act, is a controversial Act of Congress that U.S. President George W. Bush signed into law on October 26, 2001. The contrived acronym stands for "Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism Act of 2001" (Public Law Pub.L. 107-56).

The act expands the authority of U.S. law enforcement agencies for the stated purpose of fighting terrorism in the United States and abroad. Among its provisions, the Act increases the ability of law enforcement agencies to search telephone, e-mail communications, medical, financial and other records; eases restrictions on foreign intelligence gathering within the United States; expands the Secretary of the Treasury’s authority to regulate financial transactions, particularly those involving foreign individuals and entities; and enhances the discretion of law enforcement and immigration authorities in detaining and deporting immigrants suspected of terrorism-related acts. The act also expands the definition of terrorism to include domestic terrorism, thus enlarging the number of activities to which the USA Patriot Act’s expanded law enforcement powers can be applied.

The Act was passed by wide margins in both houses of Congress and was supported by members of both the Republican and Democratic parties. Despite widespread congressional support, it has been criticized for weakening protections of civil liberties. In particular, opponents of the law have criticized its authorization of indefinite detentions of immigrants; searches through which law enforcement officers search a home or business without the owner’s or the occupant’s permission or knowledge; the expanded use of National Security Letters, which allows the FBI to search telephone, email and financial records without a court order; and the expanded access of law enforcement agencies to business records, including library and financial records. Since its passage, several legal challenges have been brought against the act, and Federal courts have ruled that a number of provisions are unconstitutional.

Many of the act's provisions were to sunset beginning December 31, 2005, approximately 4 years after its passage. In the months preceding the sunset date, supporters of the act pushed to make its sunsetting provisions permanent, while critics sought to revise various sections to enhance civil liberty protections. In July 2005, the U.S. Senate passed a reauthorization bill with substantial changes to several sections of the act, while the House reauthorization bill kept most of the act's original language. The two bills were then reconciled in a conference committee that was criticized by Senators from both the Republican and Democratic parties for ignoring civil liberty concerns.[1] The bill, which removed most of the changes from the Senate version, passed Congress on March 2, 2006 and was signed into law by President George W. Bush on March 9, 2006.

Background

Main article: History of the USA PATRIOT Act

The Patriot Act has made a number of changes to U.S. law. Key acts changed were the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act of 1978 (FISA), the Electronic Communications Privacy Act of 1986 (ECPA), the Money Laundering Control Act of 1986 and Bank Secrecy Act (BSA), as well as the Immigration and Nationality Act. The Act itself came about after the September 11 terrorist attacks on New York City and the Pentagon. After these attacks, Congress immediately started work on several proposed anti-terrorist bills, before the Justice Department finally drafted a bill called the Anti-Terrorism Act of 2001. This was introduced to the House as the Provide Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism (PATRIOT) Act of 2001, and was later passed by the House as the Uniting and Strengthening America (USA) Act (H.R. 2975) on October 12.[2] It was then introduced into the Senate as the USA Act of 2002 (S. 1510) [3] where a number of amendments were proposed by Senator Russ Feingold,[4][5][6][7] all of which were passed. The final bill, the USA PATRIOT Act was introduced into the House on October 23 and incorporated H.R. 2975, S. 1510 and many of the provisions of H.R. 3004 (the Financial Anti-Terrorism Act).[8] It was vehemently opposed by only one Senator, Russ Feingold, who was the
