DANIEL GREENFIELD: HOW TO WRITE YOUR VERY OWN “I AM A VICTIM OF ISLAMOPHOBIA” LETTER

http://sultanknish.blogspot.com/ Just as no murder trial would be complete without the murderer’s family showing up in court to explain why they are the real victims, no commemoration of September 11th would be complete without a lot of articles explaining why Muslims are the real victims of their own killing spree. “Are you a Muslim? Have […]

Exposed: Ron Paul’s Foreign Policy Ignorance and Naivety Posted By Raymond Ibrahim URL to article: http://pajamasmedia.com/blog/exposed-ron-pauls-foreign-policy-ignorance-and-naivety/   Among other qualities, a good presidential candidate must be knowledgeable and able to think outside the box; equally important, he must not be naive or gullible — certainly not swallow everything the enemy says hook, line, and sinker.

ROBERT WEISSBERG: SUSTAINING THE MEMORY OF 9/11

http://www.familysecuritymatters.org/publications/id.10378/pub_detail.asp
The 10th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks, complete with official speech-making, TV crews on ground zero and all the rest, seems to be evolving into an annual commemoration. So far so good, but what really matters are not the publicized festivities, but whether the reasons for 9/11—an unprovoked militant Islamic terrorist attack on the United States—remains etched in our collective memory. I am not optimistic. Left on its own, September 11th runs the risk of becoming just a one line item in those “On This Day in History” lists or a brief calendar note, and with that, comes amnesia.

Keeping history alive demands prodigious effort. As a youngster attending New York City public schools during the early 1950s civic holidays had a simple significance—no school. But, this benefit came with a price—an extra dollop of history. So, every February lessons covered George Washington and Abraham Lincoln and since Thanksgiving brought no school for two days, the Pilgrims got three days in the limelight. And this was on top of countless lectures that recounted America’s setbacks and subsequent triumphs. Holidays were teachable events even when school was not in session. During the 19th century July 4thmeant patriotic speech-making, essay contests and similar displays of national pride. Memorial Day, which actually began after the Civil War, had parades of veterans in military uniforms and solemn speeches honoring those who sacrificed their lives to preserve our freedom.
