We are so Sorry for 9-11

September 11, 2004

By Kamal Nawash

This September 11 marks the third unforgettable anniversary of the worst mass murder in American history.

After September 11, many in the Muslim world chose denial and hallucination rather than face up to the sad fact that Muslims perpetrated the 9-11 terrorist acts and that we have an enormous problem with extremism and support for terrorism. Many Muslims, including religious leaders, and “intellectuals” blamed 9-11 on a Jewish conspiracy and went as far as fabricating a tale that 4000 Jews did not show up for work in the World Trade Center on 9-11. Yet others blamed 9-11 on an American right wing conspiracy or the U.S. Government which allegedly wanted an excuse to invade Iraq and “steal” Iraqi oil.

After numerous admissions of guilt by Bin Laden and numerous corroborating admissions by captured top level Al-Qaida operatives, we wonder, does the Muslim leadership have the dignity and courage to apologize for 9-11? If not 9-11, will we apologize for the murder of school children in Russia? If not Russia, will we apologize for the train bombings in Madrid, Spain? If not Spain, will we apologize for suicide bombings in buses, restaurants and other public places? If not suicide bombings, will we apologize for the barbaric beheadings of human beings? If not beheadings, will we apologize for the rape and murder of thousands of innocent people in Darfour? If not Darfour, will we apologize for the blowing up of two Russian planes by Muslim women? What will we apologize for? What will it take for Muslims to realize that those who commit mass murder in the name of Islam are not just a few fringe elements? What will it take for Muslims to realize that we are facing a crisis that is more deadly than the Aids epidemic? What will it take for Muslims to realize that there is a large evil movement that is turning what was a peaceful religion into a cult?

Will Muslims wake up before it is too late? Or will we continue blaming the Jews and an imaginary Jewish conspiracy? The blaming of all Muslim problems on Jews is a cancer that is destroying Muslim society from within and it must stop.

Muslims must look inward and put a stop to many of our religious leaders who spend most of their sermons teaching hatred, intolerance and violent jihad. We should not be afraid to admit that as Muslims we have a problem with violent extremism. We should not be afraid to admit that so many of our religious leaders belong behind bars and not behind a pulpit. Only moderate Muslims can challenge and defeat extremist Muslims. We can no longer afford to be silent. If we remain silent to the extremism within our community then we should not expect anyone to listen to us when we complain of stereotyping and discrimination by non-Muslims; we should not be surprised when the world treats all of us as terrorists; we should not be surprised when we are profiled at airports. Simply put, not only do Muslims need to join the war against terror, we need to take the lead in this war.


As to apologizing, we will no longer wait for our religious leaders and “intellectuals” to do the right thing. Instead, we will start by apologizing for 9-11. We are so sorry that 3000 people were murdered in our name. We will never forget the sight of people jumping from two of the highest buildings in the world hoping against hope that if they moved their arms fast enough that they may fly and survive a certain death from burning. We are sorry for blaming 9-11 on a Jewish or right wing conspiracy. We are so sorry for the murder of more than three hundred school children and adults in Russia. We are so sorry for the murder of train passengers in Spain. We are so sorry for all the victims of suicide bombings. We are so sorry for the beheadings, abductions, rapes, violent Jihad and all the atrocities committed by Muslims around the world. We are so sorry for a religious education that raised killers rather than train people to do good in the world. We are sorry that we did not take the time to teach our children tolerance and respect for other people. We are so sorry for not rising up against the dictators who have ruled the Muslim world for decades. We are so sorry for allowing corruption to spread so fast and so deep in the Muslim world that many of our youth lost hope. We are so sorry for allowing our religious leaders to relegate women to the status of forth class citizens at best and sub-humans at worse.

We are so sorry.

They must renounce the jihad in oath and deed. The burden of proof is on them. BTW, has any Muslim cleric issued a fatwa against bin Laden. Other than Iranian Americans, has there been any kind of Muslim rally against the Islamofascists. I recall none.

L2L to FMCAT: Your apology is accepted IF you and all Muslims agree to move back to your country of origin and do everything in your power to change the minds of your fellow countrymen!

I'm not necessarily arguing with you. But it seems to me we have two ways of winning: kill every Muslim we can lay hands on or liberalize the Muslims. I've told my wife short of killing them all - which at some point becomes pretty hard core - we've got to export liberalism to these people. We've got to turn them into a bunch of college professors and artists and people who ride bikes instead of blowing up busses. Essentially, we've got to turn them into a bunch of girlie men, as Arnold would say.

This kind of apology is very liberal and leftist (remember Clinton apologizing for everything), and it's the kind of thing we need to encourage if we're going to beat them.

Or, we find this guy, stick a .357 barrel down his throat and feed him his apology in a hollow point.

I could flip a coin, but the hollow points are going to get messy.

I don't believe this either and I really doubt the sincerity
of these people. I seriously doubt that there are any
Muslims out there who have even a scintilla of remorse for
what happened on 9-11. If this is anything more than a
PR move, I'd be very surprised.

How can someone apologize for something they did not do? These people obviously had no role in the attacks or any culpability. The only people who apologize are the ones who are not guilty of anything!

Yeah right...

Moderate Islam is the Trojan Horse of the pure form.....

The Wahabists have busied themselves building mosques, Islamic Centers and "summer camps' on large tracts of rural US they have purchased...

The mosques and training centers are built in areas where there is NO appreciable Islamic population....

This apology tactic is a good one though...the rubes who are too 'genteel' to actually roll up their sleeves and fight back...will fall for it....

This kind of tactic is smart...one branch sues for peace and love while the other is consolidating the militant branch...

They offer you an olive branch with one hand...while the other hand holds the dagger that is about to be plunged into your back...

Islam is a death cult ...they have found a unique way to sucker folks into turning over their nation to them without a fight...

They got enablers falling all over themselves to sell this 'peaceful' 'moderate' schtick....to their fellow countrymen...

Until we send these people packing...we will continue to be attacked...

The only reason this group is 'sorry' is because GW Bush is fighting back (sort of)...they are scared that the "jig is up" and they are trying desperately to cling to the ground they have won here...

Those who want peace so bad...have allowed them to establish a foot hold in our country...

Nothing good will come of this...Islam and the govt of our founders is incompatible...

Sharia law is what they wish to be under and naturally put us under as Dhimmis....

Look at Canada ...they have so much influence up there...that already the Canuck politicians are falling all over themselves to get greased with that Saudi petrol graft....they are selling their countrymen out...and attempting to put them under Sharia law for their new Muslim masters...

Christians are already being persecuted ...for reading out of the bible....against sodomites..
soon when they speak out against Islam they will also be imprisoned..

Moderate Islam is for dilettantes

imo

There was a thread about that. Do a search for "bebers" because I don't recall what got it started, but it was a humor thread.

I have to tell you all that I have muslim friends (Bosnians) who are so ashamed at the events that have transpired. They really do hang their heads literally when we talk of the events of 9-11. But, these are European muslims, who would be called lapsed if Catholic as they drink and socialize/date non-muslims. As I tell them..we are all embarrased by arab behavior. But I can tell you that they are respectable people and only the murderers deserve our disdain. There are good muslims...they just aren't arabs.

It would be a nice start. Muslims may enact this in the US. Will they be able to enact it in Europe and the Middle East?

They haven't stopped the carnage. "We are sorry" doesn't cut it. They have to take up arms against their own - the oil-rich radicals like OBL's father. Radical Islam is plague. "Moderate" apologists and pretenders are AIDS. Their goal is to weaken our defenses. The apology must come with the heads of all terrorist supporters, "spiritual" and financial.

In the end, we must use whichever way works.

That is true. Islam is fine as long as it only means praying 5 times a day and not drinking.

Wahhabism is merely the following of the teachings of Muhammad literally. That is when violence begins.

Rusty Humphies read this on his radio show yesterday. All I could think of as he read it was how can we trust them? How do we know this guys telling the truth? The answer is we don't. And as Islam, at it's very core says to Kill all the Unbelievers, well then this guy and every Muslim with a lick of sense needs to convert to Christianity ASAP, and Islam needs to be banned worldwide, for good and forever IMHO.

...
12. Let the entire world know through propaganda, speeches, seminars, local and national media that terrorists have hijacked Islam, when in truth, Islam hijacked the terrorists.
