The following are excerpts from an interview with Egyptian professor Abd Al-Sabour Shahin, which aired on Saudi Channel 1 on August 8, 2005.
Shahin: Our enemies weave many lies about us, which we are not necessarily aware of. For example: One day, we awoke to the crime of 9/11, which hit the tallest buildings in New York, the Empire State Building (sic). There is no doubt that not a single Arab or Muslim had anything to do with these events. The incident was fabricated as a pretext to attack Islam and Muslims. The plan was to take over the world's energy sources, and to achieve this control by force and not by agreement or negotiations, by interests, free trade, or anything like that. This is what they wanted.
So this incident was fabricated - and Allah knows that the Arabs and Muslims are innocent of it - in order to serve as a pretext to attack Islam and the Muslims.
All of a sudden, after we were used to consider America to be a rational and balanced country... All of a sudden, it violates international conventions, cancels treaties, ignores the U.N., acts on its own accord, attacks nations, kills innocent people, and claims it has the right to do so - and all this is based on lies. These were lies from beginning to end, and we were not used to lying - not in policy, not in our discourse, and not in the media. Imagine what crisis the Arab and Islam nation finds itself in, in the midst of these peculiar events, which we cannot explain or believe. All of a sudden, we were framed for an international crime, on the basis of lies.
I believe a dirty Zionist hand carried out this act. Zionism has taken the opportunity to escalate the war in Palestine, killing hundreds of thousands so far, while we watch from the sidelines in astonishment and ask: What's going on?
Another message from Hassan bin Sober.
Attacked the Empire State Building??? Unless he knows something we don't (like the other plane was headed there) he sure doesn't even know what happened so how does he think he knows who or why?
The liberals operate the same way. If you lived in Madison you would not believe the stories about Bush and the "right wingers" that they come up with.
Believe this lie- we never lie.

For once I wish they were telling the truth.
They blew up the Empire State building too? We have been so concerned about the World Trade Center we haven't even noticed. Somebody get over there and check that out!
Has aid to Egypt stopped yet?
Did this nitwit graduate from the Omaha Public Schools? Last I saw it was THE WORLD TRADE CENTER that was destroyed!
Not only is this idiot a tremendous liar ("The Jews did it"), but he's also a MORON!
You just can't make this stuff up. I believe the author is projecting, especially with the part about breaking treaties, ignoring the UN, and lying.
Ho-hum, the old "The Jews Did It" bull again. They think that's going to fool anyone? Makes HIM look like a fool!
the Empire State Building? Did I miss something (smile)?
You made me laugh! That was funny.
Now I heard all the Muslims working in the Trade Center were told to stay home. Hmmm. Whom to believe. Such a quandry.
Another good question is why did President Bush order the release on 12/13/01
of that video tape in which Elvis Bin Laden confessed?
What a dumbass sheethead!
