Motives for 9/11 Terrorist Attacks
The motives for
9/11 are no mystery. The motives have been stated by several people clearly
and repeatedly for years. The terrorists are not attacking us in order
to force us to convert to Islam or because we don't believe in Islam or
that they don't like freedom or that they are envious.
Note that Osama
bin Laden has said why repeatedly and he says that the attacks will continue
UNTIL specific foreign
policies (American policy in the Middle East and its support of Israel)
are stopped. He doesn't say "until you believe in Alah",
none of the terrorists have ever said this or anything about attacking
us because of our freedoms. It is dangerous to spread false reasons for
why 9/11 happened. Please read the following for the motives for 9/11
attacks:
"Your
position against Muslims in Palestine is despicable and disgraceful.
America has no shame. ... We believe that the worst thieves
in the world today and the worst terrorists are the Americans. Nothing
could stop you except perhaps retaliation in kind. We do not have
to differentiate between military or civilian. As far as we are
concerned, they are all targets, and this is what the fatwah says ...
. The fatwah is general (comprehensive) and it includes all those
who participate in, or help the Jewish occupiers in killing Muslims.
" - Osama bin Laden May 1998
"For over
half a century, Muslims in Palestine have been slaughtered and
assaulted and robbed of their honor and of their property. Their
houses have been blasted, their crops destroyed. And the
strange thing is that any act on their part to avenge themselves or to
lift the injustice befalling them causes great agitation in the United
Nations which hastens to call for an emergency meeting only to convict
the victim and to censure the wronged and the tyrannized whose children
have been killed and whose crops have been destroyed and whose farms have
been pulverized " - Osama bin Laden May 1998
"The International Islamic Front for Jihad against the U.S. and Israel
has issued a crystal-clear fatwa calling on the Islamic nation to carry
on jihad aimed at liberating holy sites. The nation of Muhammad has responded
to this appeal. If the instigation for jihad against the Jews
and the Americans in order to
liberate Al-Aksa Mosque and the Holy Ka'aba Islamic shrines in the Middle
East is considered a crime, then let history be a witness that I am a
criminal." - Osama bin Laden May 1999
"We swore
that America wouldn't live in security until
we live it truly in Palestine . This showed the reality
of America, which puts Israel's interest above its own people's interest.
America won't get out of this crisis until
it gets out of the Arabian Peninsula , and until it stops its support
of Israel." -Osama bin Laden, October 2001
A German friend
of Mohammed Atta(the hijacker pilot who flew into WTC) is quoted as describing
him as "most imbued actually about
Israeli politics in the region and about US protection of these Israeli
politics in the region. And he was to a degree personally suffering
from that."
These facts point
to a motive for attacking the WTC in 2001 that is consistent with the
motive expressed by terrorists in a letter sent to the New York Times
after the 1993 bombing attack of the WTC, "We declare our responsibility
for the explosion on the mentioned building. This
action was done in response for the American political, economical, and
military support to Israel the state of terrorism and to the rest of the
dictator countries in the region."
It is also the
same motive that Mir Aimal Kasi had for killing CIA employees Frank Darling
and Lansing Bennett outside CIA headquarters in Langley,Virginia in 1993
. Mir Aimal Kasi said, "What I did
was a retaliation against the US government for American policy in the
Middle East and its support of Israel ." Mir Aimal
Kasi once professed a love for this country, his uncle testified.
"He always say that 'I like America, I love America and I want to
go there,'" Amanullah Kasi said at a sentencing hearing for his nephew,
Mir Aimal Kasi . Kasi's roommate, who had reported him missing after the
shootings, told police that Kasi would
get incensed watching CNN when he heard how Muslims were being treated.
After the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks, Kasi said he did not approve
of the attack on the World Trade Center because innocent were killed.
He understood, however, the attack on the Pentagon, the symbol of government
might.
The shoe bomber
(Richard Reid) has said:"The reason for me sending you (a document
he calls his "will") is so you can see that I didn't do this
act out of ignorance nor did I just do it because I want to die, but rather
because I see it as a duty upon me to help
remove the oppressive American forces from the Muslim land
and that this is the only way for us to do so as we do not have other
means to fight them."
Abdullah Azzam
authored Join the Caravan and he writes, "We then are calling upon
the Muslims and urging them to proceed to fight, for many reasons, at
the head of which are the following:" Then he lists 16 reasons. NONE
of them state that the reason is just for the sake of attacking non-believers.In
fact the first reason is: "1. In order
that the Disbelievers do not dominate.""Do not
dominate" Note that he does not write "just because
they are disbelievers" or "in order to make them believe."
NONE of the 16 reasons say "fight to make disbelievers into Muslims"In
fact Osama bin Laden addressed the lying about motives for 9/11:
"... the Mujahideen
saw the black gang of thugs in the White House hiding the Truth, and their
stupid and foolish leader, who is elected and supported by his people,
denying reality and proclaiming that we (the Mujahideen)
were striking them because we were jealous of them (the Americans), whereas
the reality is that we are striking them
because of their evil and injustice in the whole of the Islamic World,
especially in Iraq and Palestine and their occupation of the Land of the
Two Holy Sanctuaries." -Osama Bin Laden , February
14 , 2003
in that same statement
Osama bin Laden once again listed the motives: " ... in 1995 , the
explosion in Riyadh took place, killing four Americans, in a clear message
from the people of that region displaying their rejection and opposition
to the American policy of bankrolling the Jews and occupying the Land
of the Two Holy Sanctuaries. The following year, another explosion in
Al-Khobar killed 19 Americans and wounded more than 400 of them, prompting
them to move their bases from the cities to the desert . Then in 1998
, the Mujahideen warned America to cease
their support to the Jews and to leave the Land of the Two Holy Sanctuaries,
but the enemy refused to heed this warning, so the Mujahideen, with the
ability from Allah , smashed them with two mighty smashes in East Africa
. Then again America was warned, but she refused to pay attention to the
warnings, so the Mujahideen destroyed the American Destroyer, the USS
Cole, in Aden, in a martyrdom operation, striking a solid blow to the
face of the American military and at the same time, exposing the Yemeni
Government as American agents, similar to all the countries in the region."
-Osama bin Laden February 14, 2003
