RUTHFULLY YOURS

Since 9/11 we have done quite a good job in scaling down the risk in the ‘West’. Soft policies of inclusiveness/diversity have a role. They show a willingness to talk, within civilised limits. So does killing our enemies. That shows a refusal to be defeated.

I returned to the Embassy in Belgrade to be told to watch on TV what was happening in New York.I did. The Twin Towers crashed.

My thought then is still valid:

This level of Islamist madness is quite different. It can’t be defeated by normal means. Only moderate Muslims can do it, if they have the courage. And what will they demand from us as the price for sorting out their own lunatics..?

www.MedMasks.com My 9/11 Story I was in the Trade Center that morning and lived in the neighborhood of Ground Zero.  That day as most of you remember was a magnificent fall day, New York that morning could not be more beautiful.  I started the day walking Justice, my cock-a-poo, and spending a couple of minutes […]

Like a ship pulling away from shore, time brings distance to all events. No pain is as fresh ten or twenty years later as on the day it happened. The shock of the impossible becomes the new normal and then it becomes more background noise.

“A single death is a tragedy, a million deaths is a statistic,” said Joseph Stalin. This is something that the statisticians in Berlin, Moscow, Tehran and Riyadh know quite well when they count up their numbers. But compound death is not a statistic, it is incomprehensible. The banality of the media coverage of September 11 reveals the struggle of grappling with a story too big to tell that can only be broken down into human fragments of personal stories.

http://www.tnr.com/article/tel-aviv-journal/94655/israel-obama-terrorism-munich I wish it would be historically possible—that is, historically honest—for Israel to be omitted from the long list of target countries that have been the victims of terrorism. Alas, it is not. But President Obama has a habit of making such lists, and he always fails to include Israel (or anyplace within its borders) […]

http://amilimani.com/2011/09/remembering-the-unforgettable/ It is said that “powerlessness frustrates and absolute powerlessness frustrates absolutely; absolute frustration is a dangerous emotion to run a world with.” Sometimes I wonder why I am so restless, why I cannot cease thinking! It seems like the world we live in reveals to us incessantly, at certain moments or in certain circumstances, […]

http://politicalmavens.com/      In schools, in politics and in the media, we are whitewashing the events of 9/11 by ignoring their connection to the ideology of Islamic Jihad.  This can only backfire as we raise a younger generation that will have no memory of what we lived through and little comprehension of the forces we are […]

What to Say to the Totalitarian Left on 9/11/11  Posted By Phyllis Chesler http://pajamasmedia.com/blog/what-to-say-to-the-totalitarian-left-on-91111/?print=1 I recently heard from a Canadian school psychologist who lives in Toronto and who has dual citizenship in Canada and the United States. He was “dismayed,” outraged, saddened, and puzzled, and wanted me to explain to him how a feminist academic could have “hijacked a feminist […]

“Unlike the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), which publishes a tally of alleged “hate crimes” each year without supporting data, we do provide detail of each incident that we claim as a terror attack and make it available for verification.”
This list of terrorist attacks committed by Muslims since 9/11/01 (a rate of about four or five a day) is incomplete because not all such attacks are picked up by international news sources, even those resulting in multiple loss of life.

These are not incidents of ordinary crime involving nominal Muslims killing for money or some other non-religious motive. We only include incidents of deadly violence that can reasonably be determined to have been committed out of religious duty – as interpreted by the perpetrator.
