As you may know, there’s a crazy fringe movement in America called “9/11 Truth.” The adherents are typically called “truthers” and they believe the United States government was somehow involved in, or responsible for the 9/11 attacks of 2001.
One of their notorious members was President Obama’s “green jobs czar” Van Jones who was quietly ushered out of the White House when his loony beliefs were made public.
What’s lost on these wingnuts is that there is a very real “truth” about 9/11 that never gets mentioned in our politically correct culture. Simply put, the terrorists who carried out the attacks were Muslim extremists.
Peter Gadiel’s son James was killed on 9/11. He worked in the North Tower of the World Trade Center. Mr. Gadiel wants his son’s hometown memorial to include the words “Murdered by Muslim terrorists.” His fellow townsfolk in Kent, Connecticut say no way. Why? Because it might offend someone.
FOX News reports:
“Peter Gadiel wants everyone to remember his son, James, who was killed during the September 11 terrorist attacks.”
“And he also wants people to remember how he died: “Murdered by Muslim terrorists.”
“For Gadiel, any tribute to his son would be woefully incomplete without those words.”
“I think it’s important, because I think there’s a nationwide effort to suppress the identity of the people who were involved in the attacks,” Gadiel told Fox News.
Eight years ago, 23-year-old James Gadiel worked for Cantor Fitzgerald on the 103rd floor of the World Trade Center. He died when a hijacked plane crashed into the North Tower.
For years, Gadiel’s hometown of Kent, Conn., has wanted to honor the young man with a memorial plaque next to its town hall. But the tribute has hit a snag because James’ father wants to include the phrase, “Murdered by Muslim terrorists,” under his son’s name.
For Peter Gadiel, it is a central fact of the Sept. 11 attacks that is often left out.
“It isn’t just overlooked, it’s suppressed,” Gadiel said. “It’s simply wrong to imply that people just died. The buildings didn’t just collapse, they didn’t just fall down — they were attacked by people with a specific identity, a specific purpose.”
“Town officials call the phrase too controversial for a small town memorial, and they recently voted against erecting the plaque if Gadiel insists on the language.”
“We perceive ourselves as a very warm, loving town,” said Ruth Epstein, a Kent selectman and one of two town leaders to vote the plaque down. “To disparage any one ethnic group is just against everything that we stand for here.”
“Epstein noted that other Sept. 11 memorials, like the one at the Pentagon, don’t mention Muslim terrorists, and she said she does not want to alienate any members of her small and close-knit community.”
“We have at least one Muslim family living here with children and it — it would be just awful to have them see something like that,” Epstein told Fox News.”
“But for Gadiel, it’s an important message that he insists be present on any tribute to his son.”
“Muslims have to acknowledge that it was their co-religionists who committed this act in their name,” he said. “I am offended that unlike so many others, they refuse to acknowledge that it was their people who did this.”
That’s the real 9/11 truth.
The attacks of 9/11 were carried out by Muslim extremists. Does that mean that all Muslims are bad people? Of course not. What it does mean though, is that our culture in America is becoming so politically correct that we can’t say what is true for fear of offending someone.
Unless the people who might be offended are Christians. Big Hollywood has a new report about a comedy TV show, produced by HBO that featured a character peeing on an image of Jesus Christ for laughs.
“Did you happen to see the episode to which I refer? Assuming you did not catch the episode, briefly stated: Larry pisses on the face of a painting of Jesus Christ, followed by mocking of Christians who believe the piss drop on the face of Jesus is a tear, thus they’ve witnessed a miracle.”
“Can you imagine the shit storm that would follow if David pissed on a painting of the prophet Muhammad? Of course, HBO, the complicit scum that they are, would not have allowed that to air.”
For the record, I am not a Muslim or a Christian. I’m just an American who is concerned about the hypocrisy and double standards that are leading our nation away from the truth and common sense.
9/11 “truthers” have found their way into the White House.
Actual victims of 9/11 are being told they’re too insensitive.
George Orwell has never seemed so relevant.
