Nine Years Later...

Ground Zero...

 

Do you remember what used to stand here? Do you remember where you were when you heard the news? Do you recall how you felt? Do you remember saying you would never forget the attack on the WTC, but really meaning that you wanted to get even with whoever attacked us? Do you remember the rock solid response of Mayor Giuliani., when for days on end he stood stoically in front of the cameras briefing us, while behind the scenes he consoled all those with whom he came into contact? Can you imagine the fear of anyone looking out the window of the WTC as the plane approached, and then slammed into, the building? Can you imagine the last phone call someone had to make - a call with trembling hands - to tell a loved one they wouldn't be coming home, but that they were ok, they had come to terms with their situation? Can you imagine how surreal and chaotic those scenes must have been? Can you imagine the fear and despair as people, one after the other, realized their only hope of escaping the inferno that raged unabated around them was to jump out windows hundreds of feet high? Can you imagine the faith those people must have had? Do you remember that the individuals responsible for this atrocity were followers of Islam?

Now, fast forward nearly nine years. Imagine the mind of someone, or several someones, who can disregard all that and callously inform us that they will build a Mosque on this hallowed ground. Imagine for a moment, the sheer arrogance of those people expecting Americans to accept such a proposal. Imagine the tables being turned, and having the audacity to suggest such a thing, and what the reaction of the Muslim/Islamic community might look like.

Nine years ago most of us knew little about Islam. That is no longer the case. Islam has been perverted into a religion of hate by many millions of religious zealots. Those people continue to indoctrinate their children into the same circle of hate, and that circle continues to grow. And just as the concentric circles caused by a stone thrown into a pond eventually reach the shore, so too will the circle of zealous Islamic hate reach the shores of America. Unless there is a concentrated effort, a plan, to stop it. That is not currently the case. American leadership, and many millions of her citizens, are too caught up in the PC agenda to see the threat clearly. Or if they do see it clearly, do anything about it. So now imagine what America will look like in fifty years or so because we don't seem to be capable of taking a stand against Islam. Can you say Cordoba...

Stand With God, Stand For Liberty!
