Episode Details

Twenty-three years later, we now have at least two generations who were not alive during the September 11th, 2001, terrorist attacks on the United States. While time inevitably moves forward, the fact that these generations exist without the experience and embracing an uneducated apathy towards threats to our Republic should be very concerning.

Honestly, I am not blaming these generations (Gen Z and Gen Alpha) for their lack of knowledge of the attacks. They weren’t born yet, and in the case of some of the older members of Gen Z, they were too young to remember. Just like those not alive during the attack on Pearl Harbor in 1941, it is impossible to understand the terror, vulnerability, and uncertainty that accompanied the attacks.

What I can lay at their feet is this. In an age of immediate access to information and the in-depth documentation of the day’s events – and the events shortly afterward – there is no excuse for not understanding the threats posed by Islamofascist terror groups and their nation-state sponsors.

Further, there is no excusing their ignorant and uneducated support of the Hamas terror group (under the misguided and erroneous concept of supporting the Palestinian people) – a US State Department-designated terrorist organization, as support seen on college campuses across the nation and at the Democrat National Convention.

The Lie Of Islamofascism

But even then, I can’t lay all of the blame at their feet. The blame, in large part, has to be assumed by the mainstream media and the politicians who rushed to insist that Islam is a “religion of peace.” Not only was that false narrative espoused by the President of the United States and congressional leaders, but the pundits and potentates of the mainstream narrative machine thumped that nonsense into our heads 24/7/365.

Our elected leaders embraced the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) as an authority on all things Islam, including their insistence that Islam is a religion of peace, only to see that organization adjudicated to be an unindicted co-conspirator in the Holyland Foundation terrorist money laundering scheme. Yet, the mainstream media and the elected class continued to give weight to an organization that was obviously practicing al-taqiyya.

Al-Taqiyya is an Islamic principle that allows Muslims to conceal their true beliefs or intentions under certain circumstances. Some Sunni and Shia scholars have interpreted this principle to permit lying or dissimulation in situations where a Muslim feels threatened or when it serves the interests of advancing Islam.

This leads me to two overarching points as we recognize the 23rd anniversary of the attacks. First, it took me less than a minute to gather information about al-taqiyya from a first source that cited the Quran, Hadith, and Surrah, complete with quotes from noted Islamic scholars. So, those who genuinely want to access the truth about any and all things Islamic don’t necessarily have to do anything but make the effort.

But second, and more importantly, our elected leaders and educational institutions – completely delinquent in their mandated obligation to accurately educate the populace and student bodies, using facts and truth devoid of opinion and conjecture – deliberately deceived the American people and the people of the free world about the conquest-based objective of Islam as laid out in the Quran and Hadith: to establish a
