This morning, 17 years ago, I woke up, flipped on the TV, and saw… a burning high-rise.

Like most people my initial impression was that we had just seen a horrible accident.  A plane crash of the sort that people had thought about, but just accepted as an unavoidable risk associated with aviation.

Then I, and millions of others, watched the second plane fly into the tower — at full speed, and clearly deliberately piloted.

My reaction was instantaneous as was that of millions of others: That’s terrorism.

Today, we still won’t call it by it’s full name: Islamic terrorism.

Today, we still have refused to hold to account those who allowed various Saudi nationals to leave our nation by private, chartered aircraft while our airspace was closed to all non-military traffic.  Those persons, who we had reason to believe were connected to the funding and logistics involved in this attack and their nation, have never been held to account, nor have the people in our government involved in same — including Robert Mueller.

Today, we still have not held Jeb Bush’s Florida DMV — or Jeb himself — accountable for issuing Florida Driver Licenses to terrorists.  I remind you that these were the very IDs used to board the planes, without them the attacks were impossible, and they were issued to people who were not citizens or lawful permanent residents.  We even let Jeb Bush run for President without answering for this outrage.

Today, we still have not done a single material thing about the fact that there is a large group within the Muslim faith that believe their religious code trumps secular law and they are commanded to impose it on any nation in which they live by God.

They believe that any person who does not submit to said code must be destroyed — not shunned, not ignored, murdered.

They believe that the only options are to convert, to pay jizya, a permanent tax (a “capitation”, in taxation terms, an annual levy) on all non-Muslims by Muslims, or to die.

They believe that women are responsible for the sexual urges of men and have no rights of independence, and thus must cover themselves so as to not “excite” a man whenever outside their home and in fact may not travel anywhere, even to the store for food, without the permission or even direct presence of “their” guardian, who is either their husband, brother or other man — as he directs.

They believe that any woman who refuses to so consent, said person being by definition an “infidel” or “apostate” for their failure to voluntarily submit to Muslim teachings on same and is mocked, assaulted or raped deserves what happens as a result of her refusal to behave with “appropriate modesty” and avoid “inflaming” the sexual passions of the man or men who assault her.

They believe that women may not enter the same door, nor use the same place, to worship as men.  There were Americans who believed that black people could not do so too; there were “colored” movie theater entrances and seating areas, bathrooms and similar.  Islam teaches and these people believe this applies to women in the present day and they enforce it.

In fact they believe that the sub-standard status of women extends to childhood and revere their alleged “Prophet” who at almost 50 years of age took a bride aged six or seven, and who consummated said marriage when she was ten. (probably because he knew he’d kill her if he tried it before then.)  There is not one Muslim I have ever encountered who will call this what it was and is: Sexual predation, pedophilia, outrageous, disgusting and worthy of life in prison with your nuts cut off and fed to the prison cat.

Indeed on so-called “social media” today if you merely bring up this fact — that the so-called “prophet” is considered by any rational, modern individual as a pedophile and child abusing monster you are risking having your account banned.  In other words Twatter, Facesucker and others all promote pedophilia in the name of religion by refusing to allow anyone on their platforms to call it what it is under the claim that such is “hate speech.”

These are the people who blew up two civilian buildings, committed an act of war by attacking our Pentagon and tried to attack the US Capitol, but failed due to the actions of the people on board the latter aircraft who died in preventing the last aircraft from reaching its target.
