Howdy Folks. First off, this isn’t a rant of any kind, but I post it in The Pit, because I assume some of the replies will be quite animated, and rightly so.
So with that disclaimer in place, the following text is another one of those e-mail messages that seems to reach everyone & their brother within a few days. I am posting it in the format I received it (minus the many >'s), including the many misspellings, and grammatical errors. Please understand, I am NOT stating that I agree with any of this.
Dear Fellow citazen,
What happened in lower Manhattan, NY city on Sept. 11 2001 was devastating and totally unacceptable by anyone who profoundly understands the value and the importance of a human life. Thousands of innocent people (including several MUSLIMS) lost their lives that day. My heart and prayers go out to everyone who lost their loved ones because of this tragedy. Right after the “ATTACK ON AMERICA” happened, the media deliberately started projecting that this heinous crime was perpetrated and committed by the MUSLIMS namely (Usama Ben Laden). Also, that Muslims in America and all around the world are the culprits and are responsible for this in-humane act of terror.
Q. Were these high jackers MUSLIMS? If yes, what kind of Muslims?
A. Not very good and TRUE Muslims. There is a good reason why I believe that (if and only if they were Muslims) they were not good and true Muslims. So, WHO IS BEHIND ALL OF THIS? Let me give you the following reasons and hints to who is behind this tragedy:
- Who controls the media in America? And isn’t this true that most of the ordinary and average people like us believe whatever we SEE, HEAR, and READ through media.
- Why didn’t the high-jackers (if Muslims as projected) care about over 3000 good Muslims who worked in the twin towers on a daily basis? If their motive was to bring these buildings down, they could have done that over the weekend or at nighttime when very few people are in the buildings. WHY DO THIS IN THE MORNING HOURS? Everyone watching, in real time on TV’s all around America.
- Who was that gentleman on the street at about 9:08 a.m. with a camcorder in his hands making the video, which captured and recorded the incident of the first plane hitting the tower? HOW come he was there at the right place, at the right time? MEDIA Involvement, planned out act of terror, and again WHO controls the media? Chain of the events happened in U.S. gradually, momentarily, and step by step.
Moments after the attack and collapse of the WTC, media showed PALESTINIAN kids and one female in HIJAB (symbols of Muslim women) clapping, singing, and celebrating. Different TV channels reported to the American viewers that Palestinians are happy and loving American loss while the entire America is mourning this tragedy.
MY Q? HOW LONG DOES IT TAKES TO GATHER HUNGRY AND ABANDONED BUNCH OF KIDS TO CLAP, SING, AND JUMP UP AND DOWN in front of the camera in PALESTINE.
DID ANYONE NOTICE THE TIME ZONE; IT WAS MORNING HERE AND SAME DAYLIGHT TIME IN PALESTINE (VERY INTERESTING).
4. FBI and FEMA reported that one of the suspects Mr. Mohamed Atta and others were on the list for most wanted in CAR and BUS bombings in Israel. At one time the Israeli army captured this person and few years later he was released by them. WHAT HAPPENED BRAIN WASHED* FUNDED AND HARBORD FORCED SET UP *PAYED OFF IN MIGHTY .
My Q? How in the world Mr. M. ATTA and his associates come inside the U.S. borders, lived on the U.S. soil, received training to fly planes openly when he was on the FBI wanted list, without the protection, umbrella, and a free ticket by someone very POWERFUL in U.S. to roam around without any problem.
- FBI received a tip from a passenger who boarded a different plane and reached his destination safely that he had a confrontation with two Middle Eastern gentlemen at the Logan airport in Boston, MA. He gave them the exact location of their stranded car parked in the lot, where FBI found the (MANUEL ON HOW TO FLY A PLANE) in ARABIC language. Also, they found the information leading to the rental car and credit card information with which the 2 plan tickets were purchased from Boston to L.A.
My Q? People capable of plotting and executing such a sophisticated plan would leave the ARABIC language manual and other information in the rental car to be found later by the FBI. HOW DUMB is that BY PROFESSIONAL TERRORISTS. - FBI reported that they traced the attackers to Florida where the FBI was told by the bar owner /manager that the two suspects came into the bar couple days ago and drank LIQUOR heavily (GOOD TRUE MUSLIMS AND DRINKING, WELL YES I KNOW SOME (M) DO DRINK
My Q? Drinking and fighting with the bar manager over the bill, possibility to get the police involved, be in position to get caught, blow up and jeopardize their well thought out and long awaited plan. I DON’T THINK SO. - One report said, struggle in the plane, which crashed in PA. Phone calls were made from the plane. One man called his mother in California for (1 full minute) in which he told her that the plane has been hi-jacked, he loves his mother and family very much, also that hi-jackers have sharp knives. No description given at all about the ethnic background, race, color etc. Flight attendant called her family and told them that hi-jackers have knives, she is been stabbed, and even told them the SEAT # of the hi-jackers BUT NO DESCRIPTION GIVEN AT ALL.
My Q? Was the HI-JACKERS hiding their face? WHY THESE BOTH CALLERS COULD NOT SEE OR JUDGE AND IDENTIFY THE HI-JACKERS IDENTITY?
8. Plane tickets were purchased by credit card of Mr. M. ATTA, leading FBI and swat teams to the WESTIN HOTEL where 3 of the helpers were waiting AFTER almost over 29 hours of the initial attack on WTC. HOW IDIOTIC IS THIS FOR PEOPLE WHO ARE ASSIGNED AND TRAINED TO PULL OFF AN ATTACK AND DESTROY (WTC) THE LANDMARK OF SUCCESS AND FREEDOM OF AMERICA. Some said that while the associates of hi-jackers were waiting for the FBI to show up and arrest them, they ordered PIZZA WITH BLACK OLIVES AND TOOK TURNS TAKING SHORT NAPS.
- In 1993, unsuccessful WTC bombing happened, 6 people died, over 1000 injured. Several Arabs were arrested including Mr. Mohamed Ramzi Yusouf in Pakistan. Still in jail in Colorado awaiting his punishment. HBO movie in 1995 (ROAD TO PARADISE) in which the story of the WTC was told and at the end of the movie Mr. Ramzi Yusouf was quoted looking at the Twin Towers, “NEXT TIME WE WILL BRING THEM BOTH DOWN”.
My Q? Who the hell made that movie and predicted in the movie that this will happen some day in the future and how did they reached this conclusion? Again, who controls and operates the MEDIA and the MOVIE BUSINESS?
IN CONCLUSION: There is a good reason to believe that Prime Minister of ISRAEL, Mr. Ariel Sharon and ISRAELI INTELLIGENCE is behind this tragedy. So far they have been very successful in killing not on 1, not 2, but three birds with only one bullet.
- Create hostile conditions for Muslims in the U.S. and all over the world. Have U.S. bomb and stop any kind of AID to the 3rd world Muslims countries like Palestine, Afghanistan, and Pakistan.
- Biggest threat to ISRAEL in Middle Eastern region (Usama Ben Laden) and Make U.S. public, U.S. government, and the entire world believe that he is the MASTER MIND behind the American tragedy and have him killed by the U.S. military. HAVE Usama KILLED ON ANY PRICE. Basically, create chaos between Muslims & Christians, sit back and watch over and benefit from the chain of events and destruction among Muslims & Christians. PRIME EXAMPLE: THREATS OF RETALIATIONS AND ATTACKS HAVE ALREADY BEGUN ON MOSQUES, IN SCHOOLS, AND AT WORKPLACES. Good and true Muslims are being called TERRORISTS, FOLLOWERS OF OSAMA & SADAAM, harassed for something they have no control OR influence over.
AS American-Muslim, I hope that whatever happens in the coming days, months, and years brings peace and calm to our beautiful world .
Well done MR. SHARON AND ISRAEL, THE MASTERMINDS BEHIND THE AMERICAN TRAGEDY.
Sincerely,
a Muslim sister
Again, I feel I should state that I do NOT agree with the conclusions of this message. I almost deleted it out of hand, but I thought it did bring up some good issues.
For an organization that was capable of orchestrating an act as complex (and horrendous) as this, there sure were some sloppy clues. I mean a pilot’s manual printed in Arabic just happened to be found almost immediately? Perhaps in our eagerness to assign blame we’ve moved a bit too quickly. It seems like we were in a rush to come up with a plausible explanation, and once it’s in place it’s time to put on the blinders.
If I remember correctly, the FBI had a problem with focussing on one suspect exclusively in Los Alamos. Maybe the same mistake is being repeated?
I certainly DO NOT think this is a vast Israeli conspiracy - frankly I don’t know what to think. I’m not much of a conspiracy guy in general, but I do believe in keeping an open mind, something I’m afraid we’re not doing here. Nothing wrong with a little healthy skepticism, especially when the stakes are so high. Any thoughts? Does anyone else get the feeling we’re in a rush to draw conclusions?
