Back to 9/11
Gen Z Has No Idea What 9/11 Is
Schools skip the Islamic plot and a generation thinks the Tribute in Light is the Batman signal..
Imagine if you had told someone on 11 September 2001 that in 25 years’ time the streets of New York City would ring out with sympathy for Islamofascism. Imagine if you had said to one of the startled souls watching American lives be incinerated by Islamist filth that one day the West would swarm with youths cosplaying as Islamist filth. Imagine if you had said that in a mere quarter of a century even our leafiest campuses would be awash with jihad chic, with silver-spoon students gushing over an Islamo-army (Hamas) every bit as hateful and medieval as the one that burnt New Yorkers alive.
The Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) declassified 71 presidential briefings related to the 9/11 attacks on the United States, marking the 25th anniversary of the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks.
Have We Defeated the Jihadists?
9/11, Anwar Al-Awlaki, And Our Unanswered Questions
In 1990, the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) provided“full funding” for one Anwar Nasser Abdulla al-Awlaki for studies in civil engineering at Colorado State University.
Just months before September 11, Awlaki moved to Virginia and became an imam at the Dar Al-Hijrah Mosque in Falls Church…
There was only one problem: the USAID document listed his birthplace as Sana’a, Yemen. Awlaki was actually born in Las Cruces, New Mexico, an inaccuracy which federal security agent Ray Fournier and The New York Timesdescribe as being done in an attempt to qualify for scholarship money.
Awlaki returned to the United States on October 23, 2000, just two weeks after the bombing of the USS Cole in Yemen. This sequencing is worth mentioning, but at this time the FBI did not establish any connection between Awlaki and the attack.
Just months before September 11, Awlaki moved to Virginia and became an imam at the Dar Al-Hijrah Mosque in Falls Church. After the events of 9/11, on September 15, he was questioned by authorities and claimed he flew into Washington DC’s National Airport at 9 AM – less than an hour before the Pentagon was hit.
Significantly during interrogations, Awlaki would not show his passport and left the interview at one point to take an “urgent” phone call. When asked about his feelings about jihad, he would go on to state “I would like not to comment on that.”
