A Lifetime Ago

In a few days there will be dozens of articles about 9-11, I thought I would get mine in early. On the other hand there may not be. Sadly many, far to many have forgotten that day...what it was like that day.



I was at work driving my truck. I was listening to the Christian radio station and they were all pre-taped shows, J. Vernon Magee, Chuck Swindol etc. I pulled in to my stop at around 11:00 am. I had not listened to any news so I didn't know anything about what had happened. The shipping clerk asked me, "can you believe this sh**? He's normally a real cut up so I asked him, what do I think about what, fully expecting some sort of joke. He said, We're under attack! I looked at him and felt an my first pangs of apprehension but still thinking this was some sort of joke...hopefully. I said, ok what's the punchline? He said, No really! We're under attack! Look up in the sky, what do you see, or rather NOT see? (we were close to Detroit Metro airport, there are ALWAYS planes flying overhead) I don't know I said, what am I supposed to see? There are no planes, he says. Planes took out the twin towers in New York and the Pentagon and there not sure its over yet.

Well, its seven years later and it's still not over though many seem to think it is.



I know more today than I ever wanted to know about Islam and their hatred of me, my faith and my country. I'm not speaking of Muslims like my friend "Sam" or "Mo" (Mohammad) or the Muslims I come in contact with almost everyday in Dearborn Michigan in the course of my job . I'm talking about the ones that either practice their religion in the strictest sense or have hi-jacked the Islamic faith depending on your point of view. It doesn't matter to me, the fact is there are thousands, maybe millions of well trained Jihadists out there that STILL very much want to destroy America. They plot just how to do it every single day I'm sure. They WILL do it to if we don't get more people in America to wake up---NOW!

I've been called a bigot more times than I can count because of my views on this threat. I can only say yes, I'm a little prejudiced against people that want to cut my head off, kill my family, destroy my country and return those that survive into slaves under Sharia. Again, not Sam or Mo they are worried too as they came here hoping to escape Radical Islam---Opps, am I still allowed to say that? Oh yea, Obama hasn't been elected yet so that's still not "hate speech."

I'm tired. I've written article after article about RI (radical Islam). I'm either preaching to the chior or trying to get deaf dumb blind and stupid people to wake up. It seems like an impossible task at times, and I get tired. Every so once in a while I try again, I have too. When the blade swings that severs my head from my shoulders or the bullet strikes home, if I have time to have any last thoughts I want to be able to go to my grave thinking...I tried.

I know it's a hard article to read, pessimistic, can't really help that...I'm tired. I covet your thoughts, your storys of 9-11, your feelings about it today seven years later, a lifetime ago.
Just my opinion,
Bill

Bill, I'm not sure of what you mean when you say "Obama hasn't been elected yet, so that's not hate speech." How would it be hate speech if Obama were elected? Don't you think that maybe, just maybe, he might be as innocent of the things you despise as your friends Mo and Sam? Might he be as against those that would destroy America as you and I? Well, just a thought...

I agree with you and Anniel on here and feel the same way. I will never convert to their extremist Islamic beliefs I too would choose to die first.

By the way I LOVE your avatar picture!! You go dude!!

I also LOVE your playlist of songs Bill!! I was just listening to one by Waylon Jennings!!

Every religion has it's extremists, and they are all dangerous. Even so-called Christians bombing abortion clinics and protesting at funerals for soldiers killed in action. You're right, Bill. We can't lump all Muslims in the "terrorist" category.
As for 9/11, I remember the day as if it was yesterday. I was at work coming out of a meeting with my dad when my step-sister (it's a family business) came up to us and told us about the first plane hitting the tower. When the second plane struck, all I wanted to do was get home and be with my wife and my family.

No-you are saying the truth. Any religious extreamest of any ilk is a dangerous comodity at best. We Christians have been killing each other off for the last 1,000 years or so. What is amazing to me is that all believe God is on their side. I believe God is sitting on his throne wondering how his children could get it so wrong.

Bill, your opinion is the correct one as far as I'm concerned. Good post.

Personally.... I agree with your opinion. I don't think anyone hijacked their religion, I think there are those with a liberal view and those with a very fundamental view and all of those inbetween. Fundamental Islam is something that is very frightening and yes, they say convert or die. I would choose to die first. Annie
