I Lost My Father on 9/11: What Worries Me About Radical Islam
Townhall.com ^ | September 23, 2017 | Patrick Roux

Posted on 09/23/2017 5:38:54 AM PDT by Kaslin

Another anniversary of the tragic 9/11 terrorist attacks has just passed by with the nation in solemn remembrance and the families of victims still grieving. My father, James Michael Roux, was on United Airlines Flight 175, the second plane to hit the world trade centers. Having grown up without a father, I understand the personal cost of being complacent when dealing with radical Islamic terrorism. This is why I want to raise some worrying statistics from the Pew Research Center and how we should respond to the epidemic of these radical beliefs. 

Ben Shapiro released a short video titled 'The Myth of the Tiny Radical Muslim Minority' in which he cites Pew Research regarding the beliefs of Muslims in various countries around the world. I will pull out some of the most worrying statistics that really stick out.

In Egypt, a country with 80 million Muslims, 70% of the Muslims in this country have mixed to positive views of Osama Bin Laden, the man who masterminded the 9/11 attacks that murdered my father and 3,000 of our fellow countrymen in cold blood. In the geographical area that makes up what is considered by its inhabitants to be the nation of Palestine, where 4.3 million Muslims reside, 78% have mixed to positive views of Bin laden.

Another incredibly eye opening statistic is that out of the 4.7 million Muslims in France, a Western country, 45% believe suicide bombings can sometimes be justified. Furthermore in Turkey, a nation that is a NATO ally and that we are associated with, of the 74.4 million Muslims that live there 32% believe that honor killings of women can sometimes be justified. I should mention here that Turkey is often heralded as a moderate Muslim country. 

The statistics for the rest of the countries the world over from Jordan to Nigeria paint a picture of large numbers across the board in support of the strict implementation of sharia law, the honor killings of women, and mixed to positive views of Bin Laden. The prevalence of these very radical beliefs in global Islamic culture needs to be a wake up call for the West and the United States of America.

Again these are not right wing talking points, this is based on Pew research. We can not allow large numbers of 'refugees' into Western countries, especially when the overwhelming majority are young fighting age males. The current havoc that is being caused by these immigrants in European cities is not right wing propaganda but rather documented cases that can be independently researched and verified. The new years eve gang assaults on women in Cologne, for example, can be looked up and verified by German police reports. 

These radical beliefs are far too prevalent and as such it is not a matter of compassion in the least, it is a matter of national security. I don't want my fellow countrymen to pay the price of complacency that I and the other 9/11 families have.

The left views the murder of almost 3,000 as collateral damage along the way to social justice.

I wonder if congress’ response would have been different if Flight 93 had rammed, as intended, the capitol or white house.

Immutable fact:

Wherever there are Mohammedans, there are radical Mohammedans.

Been doing this in variations for 1400 years.

It is not rocket science, they are driven to o kill infidels.

We have already had two wars with them.

I’d think that most infidels around the world would not want to live in a muslim dominated country, yet invite them into their own countries. Nowhere has it ever been shown that islam and others can peaceably coexist.

Over 60 years ago, after watching a news show on TV, I remember asking my Dad about Algerian suicide bombers in France and if we have those kind of crazy people here.
He told me, no. That was in the 50s.
The muslim culture will never change.
All we can really do is block them from coming here.

They cannot or will not decimate the radicals within their religion. The reason is they approve of the goals.

IMHO, immediately after 9-11 the percentage approving the actions that day were ~85%.

We have made some progress since 9-11, but we must obliterate more of the radicals to make any more progress.

This country isn't complacent, it is divided into those who understand the threat and those who refuse to see and are willing to invite the wolf into our house.

I don't blame the wolf, I blame the liberals.

...
The beliefs are so prevalent there is no such thing as radical Islam, just Islam.

The roles the slaves to Islam play are that, roles.

The bombers, and those who taqiyya their way to sympathy. Those are roles in the war plan, and rehearsed to the word and phony remorse. Taqiyya is a verb ib this case.

Useful idiots in this country and our country club elite congressional swamp hide in their compounds and tell us how to believe. It’s not just Debbie Wafflehouse Schlitz, Ryan and McConnell have fed the beast, too, and have allowed the governmental infiltration.

In addition to Islam, which is a scourge, we need to challenge the radical intellectual dishonesty of those who refuse to discuss the preposterous lies told about 9/11.

‘The reason is they approve of the goals.’

I agree that many coplacent Muslims approve of the radicals. But I also believe that there are many, many who don’t approve but fear for their own lives if they speak out. Radicals view the ‘good’ Muslims with more hate than they do us infidels.

Thought provoking. I pray President Trump will still remind the country that we have to be on watch every minute of every day.

I would have rather lost the Capitol than suffer damage to the Pentagon. They bombed the most secure military headquarters in the world in broad daylight. They still dance in the streets because of it.

I call the so called “moderate” muslims, the tall grass.

They will support, aid and abet the jihadis. The jihadis would not be able to do their evil without them.

Jihadis and jihadi loving muslims are all the same to me.
