8 years later, 9/11 still no ordinary day for US Muslims who fear anniversary backlash
StarTribune ^ | 9/10/09 | RACHEL ZOLL , Associated Press

There is the dread of leaving the house that morning. People might stare, or worse, yell insults.

Prayers are more intense, visits with family longer. Mosques become a refuge.

Eight years after 9/11, many U.S. Muslims still struggle through the anniversary of the attacks. Yes, the sting has lessened. For the younger generation of Muslims, the tragedy can even seem like a distant memory. "Time marches on," said Souha Azmeh Al-Samkari, a 22-year-old student at the University of Dayton in Ohio.

Yet, many American Muslims say Sept. 11 will never be routine, no matter how many anniversaries have passed.

I'm guessing the Star Trib publishes this same article every year, only changing what anniversary it will be.

I’d be more worried for the Sikhs, Arab Christians, Hindus and others who get mistaken for the followers of the paedo-false-prophet, and then get murdered as a result.

The other sick thing is the Islamic “crescent moon”-shaped memorial in Pennsylvania, to commemmorate the Hero Flight.

You think it can’t get any worse, and then it does.

Hiding? I don’t think so! Just in time for 9-11, I rec’d this email from my sis in the SF east bay area today:

“There is a massive..I mean massive billboard right off the main freeway down here 680.. (Just after Sun Valley Mall) that says:

(very large) ISLAM

Then it listed the phone number to learn about Islam and how to convert.... The word covered the entire billboard...Dang......sent a chill to my bones!”

I know it's not the Christian thing to say, and I hate myself for thinking it.

But deep in my inner psyche, I kind of wished there would have been a backlash after 9/11.

Sorry, just being honest (see you in Confession)

Meanwhile...8 years later 290,000,000 Americans still fear another 9/11 attack by Muslims.

I am rereading Price of Honor: Muslim Women Lift the Veil of Silence on the Islamic World
This was published after 9/11 but before Gulf War II. Scary, but still relevant even though it is an older book.

8 years and no backlash? Sounds like nothing to complain about.

Have the muzzies been cowering and hiding in fear or actively attacking every institution and intimidating the mainstream of society?

Where is that tiny violin picture?
And why don’t they go live in one of the many Muslim paradises scattered across the globe? Oh, that’s right....they are all war zones for some reason.

Well, boo-bleepin'-hoo.

AMEN!

Perhaps, if the majority of the Muslims denounced VOCIFEROUSLY and very PUBLICLY, fellow ISLAMOFASCIST terrorist, (AND WILLINGLY ASSIMILATED AS AMERICANS WITHOUT TRYING TO FOIST THEIR 7th C. RELIGIOUS CONVICTIONS ON US INFIDELS) they just might find a populace willing to embrace them and welcome them with open arms (like we have every other immigrant in the past)and not treat them with a jaundiced eye and skepticism as many try to impose their Sahria-tenets on us and their leadership (such as CAIR) are apologists and mouth-pieces for every bad acting Islamist in the US and the world.

Let us NEVER forget those nearly 3,000 innocent Americans who were murdered by the Islamists.
Don’t let Obama desecrate the memory of those Americans who were murdered by his fellow Muslims. Send this video to everyone you know.
Every American should view this video made by a New Yorker who lived through the attack:

http://attacked911.tripod.com/

This video has been viewed by untold millions and is now in the Smithsonian.
(Sadly, the New Yorker who made this video has since succumbed to lung damage sustained during the attack)

The video includes the planes crashing into the buildings and victims jumping. There are pictures of many of those who lost their lives, and president Bush’s aftermath speech set to the haunting background music, ‘Only Time’ by Enya. It is truly awesome.

We have one of those in Abuquerque as well. The first time I saw, I almost ran off the road.

Good. Let them know fear. They didn’t step up and condemn the actions of the terrorists. Remember how they celebrated?
