We should have know the Dutch were behind this.

This confirms the view that there are no surprise attacks.

[Liberals are Evil Socialists!]

An Islamic calendar, printed in May and distibuted in Holland, shows a jetliner crashing into NY. The month of the year set for the picture: September 2001. Think about it. http://www.newsmax.com/images/headlines/EgyptCal.jpg It is now us or them. Liberals, close your eyes. We'll tell you when you can open them again. Let's Roll.

Too bad the image is so small; it's hard to make out the details of the image.

it may be subject to interpretation?

[the_Watchman]

There's an obvious question here, which nobody is asking:

What is the picture on the page for October?!?

[4Freedom]

How could this be? The President and the pundits have been all over the media telling us what a peaceful religion Islam is.

We should raid this printshop in Egypt and get their customer and shipping records.

[eastforker]

I have one problem.A 2001 calander printed in may.That don't make any sence.

[Cool Guy]

BUMP!

Another "internet legend"?

Why is it so funny to me that the acronym for the Dutch internal security service is BVD?

The Islamic calendar has its starting point at the date of the flight of Mohammed from Mecca to Medina, known as the Hejira. The most widely accepted date for this event in the Gregorian calendar is sunset at July 16, 622 AD. This dating system is used in the Muslim world (except Turkey, which uses the Gregorian calendar) and based on a year of 12 months, each month beginning approximately at the time of the New Moon. (The Iranian calendar, however, is based on a solar year.)




The Islamic calendar is tied to the lunar phase cycle, with each month alternatively having either 29 or 30 days, except for the 12th, Dhu al-Hijjah, the length of which is varied in a 30-year cycle intended to keep the calendar in step with the true phases of the Moon. The calendar therefore drifts by 365.24 - 354 ~ 11.24 days relative to the sun each Islamic year, and would require 365.24 / 11.24 ~ 32.49 Islamic years to get back in synchronization. As a result, the calendar uses an 11-year leap year cycle. In 11 years of this cycle, Dhu al-Hijjah has 30 days, and in the other 19 years it has 29. Thus, the year has either 354 or 355 days.




No months are ever added, so that the named months do not remain in the same seasons but retrogress through the entire solar, or seasonal, year (of about 365.25 days) every 32.5 solar years. The names of the Islamic months are Muharram, Safar, Rabia I, Rabia II, Jumada I, Jumada II, Rajab, Sha'ban, Ramadan, Shawwal, Dhu al-Qada, and Dhu al-Hijah.

Does anybody have the page a day calendar called "365 of the stupidest things ever said"? On 9/11 the caption was:

If you think its an accident, applaud.

Someone in my office is from the Netherlands. He read the article in Dutch and says picture was about the 1999 Egypt-Air crash, where the pilot went into the sea, and they are honoring the pilot who died. He says it's purely coincidence.

Let's see...15 + radical muslim (read arab) terrorists come in to our country using their passports. The WTC was bombed in 1993 and OKC was reportedly connected to Islamic terrorists as well, not to mention the controversy surrounding TWA 800. No arab nationals have been deported, even though evidence indicates a large number of terroist sympathizers. Why not?

Billions go to security and intelligence yet were no security measures for air attacks on the White House or the Pentagon. Even I would have put those measures in place.

The Dutch have calendars depicting tragedy, the rap groups have CD covers about it, many people have said they tried to warn the FBI...and this still happens?

Something stinks.

Before the end of the first day of fighting, the air forces of the participating Arab states had been destroyed, thereby determining the fate of the entire war. Israeli armored forces could then fight the battle under “clear skies”, and air force pilots were free to provide support to IDF ground forces in all the sectors, the breakthrough and transportation axes without leaving the rear of the State of Israel in danger of air attack. Israel Air Force losses in the fateful day of the battle were a total of 20 aircraft. Twelve pilots were killed, five were wounded and four captured.

The Six Day War started June 5, 1967. I doesn't sound like the kind of war that justifies highlighting helicopters on a calendar since they survived less than 24 hours, it seems.

From The Great Heresies by Hilaire Belloc

Chapter 4: The Great and Enduring Heresy of Mohammed

The last effort they [Islam] made to destroy Christendom was contemporary with the end of the reign of Charles II in England and of his brother James and of the usurper William III. It failed during the last years of the seventeeth century, only just over two hundred years ago. Vienna, as we saw, was almost taken and saved by the Christian army under the command of the King of Poland on a date that ought to be among the most famous in history-- September 11, 1683.
