Nine Eleven

Muslim jihadis killed 3000 Americans on this day in 2001.

Despite the invasions of Afghanistan and Iraq, on the homefront the reaction has been symptomatic of a dying culture, one that fears even to name its enemy lest its enemy be offended...

In 2001 there were 1200 mosques in America. Now there are 2100. 

Everyone who tries to board a plane is treated as an equal terrorism risk, with our naked bodies on film now, lest a non-White* religious group be offended. 

Presidents issue Ramadan proclamations and celebrate it with dinners at the White House. 

Muslim immigration to America continues unabated. 

          Muslims are accorded special treatment and accomodation given
          to no other religious group.

          Criticism of Islam is now pathologized as "Islamophobia".      

The 9/11 Memorial in NY has no indication of who killed all those people and why. 

Barack Hussein Obama, raised a Muslim as a young boy, issued his 9/11 statement today and there was no mention at all of Islam. 

And today, 9/11/2012, the US Cairo embassy's response to mobs who
destroy the US flag to protest a rumored US film "insulting" to Mohammed to condemn "misguided individuals" who hurt the religious feelings of Muslims or followers of other religions.

How can our ancestors not disown us in shame?

"Forgetfulness occurs when those who have been long inured to civilized order can no longer remember a time in which they had to wonder whether their crops would grow to maturity without being stolen or their children sold into slavery by a victorious foe … 

They forget that in time of danger, in the face of the Enemy, they must trust and confide in each other, or perish. 

They forget, in short, that there has ever been a category of human experience called the Enemy. And that, before 9/11, was what had happened to us. The very concept of the Enemy had been banished from our moral and political vocabulary. An enemy was just a friend we hadn’t done enough for — yet. Or perhaps there had been a misunderstanding, or an oversight on our part — something that we could correct. And this means that that our first task is that we must try to grasp what the concept of the Enemy really means. 

The Enemy is someone who is willing to die in order to kill you. And while it is true that the Enemy always hates us for a reason — it is his reason, and not ours."

Civilization and Its Enemies

*As I have often said, Islam is coded as a race as well as a religion and granted all the suicidal immunities, the license and deference, that Western liberal democracies grant only to non-Whites. Were Muslims mostly White, no such accomodations would be forthcoming. On the contrary.
