Never Forget



The class entering high school this year will be the first high school class not to have any firsthand knowledge of 9/11/2001, when jihad came to America.

These students will have only textbook knowledge.

For these young people, taking off their shoes and being run through scanners at airports, and elsewhere, as well as constant monitoring by security cameras — and all the rest of a world altered for the worse by Islamic terrorism — seem normal and ho-hum.

They have never known a world without Islamic terrorism. They do not know the freedoms we once had.

Worse, they consider 9/11 as nothing more than a National Day of Service.

In my view, 9/11 should be a day of solemn remembrance.

Boiling the frog is winning the day right now. Too many are too busy with their electronic devices to care about the future of the ideals of freedom and democracy.

Jean Raspail's The Camp of the Saints looms large on this fifteenth anniversary of 9/11.

[The novel The Camp of the Saints is online HERE. Read it!]

Perhaps, a mention of additional historic 11th of Septembers soiled by jihad ...
1683 at the Gates of Vienna - when sanity reigned and Western civilization put jihad in retreat.
2001 NYC, Washington DC and Shanksville,PA
2012 Benghazi, Libya when our political contemporaries failed miserably, enabled jihad expansion

NEVER FORGIVE...NEVER FORGET
Islam delende est

Know Islam = No Peace
Know Peace = No Islam

Further greetings from Israel.
Always on watch you are most welcome.
I would like to share some information with you, which clearly you are free to take note of, or discard as you wish.
If you assume that because I am in Israel I am a red sea pedestrian you would be right, (or at least my ancestors were)I came here to further my studies of the mystical aspect of my faith.I discovered that around five hundred years ago events happening in Europe today, were predicted, as well as other world events that we see unfolding.This is a spiritual war between good and evil, and what is going on here is how it manifests itself in this world.As well as taking the practical steps to defend oneself, one should also ask the Creator of the universe for help in this spiritual battle.

Anonymous,
I am a Christian and see all this as spiritual warfare. I know who wins "the final battle," but till then I am a spiritual warrior.
