This war has gone on for a very long time, and today, in all the reminiscences, and eulogies, and encomia, and lamentations, virtually no one has explained why, for the simple reason that essentially no one among the political and media elites knows why. Yet even the most dire estimates of exactly how long this is going to take have fallen wide of the mark. General Petraeus said in 2010 that it could take another ten years to defeat the Afghan “insurgency.” Do you think the Taliban is likely to be disbanded and Afghan a stable, functioning republic in 2020? In 2007, Britain’s security chief, Admiral Lord Alan West, said it could take 30 years to defeat terrorism in the United Kingdom. Do you think that in 2037, Britain will be peaceful and free of jihad terrorists?
The very idea is preposterous, and it is preposterous for the same reason that here we are 15 years after the September 11, 2001 jihad attacks, and no one know why this strange war has lasted so long. West said in that 2007 interview that to defeat terrorism, “I now realise that we are talking about a generation — and by that I would say 30 years. That doesn’t mean necessarily that we are going to stay at a severe level of threat for all those years. But to be able to say one has absolutely changed the mind-set and thought of people IS going to take a generation.” Yet in reality, nothing, nothing whatsoever, is being done in Britain or anywhere else to change “the mind-set and thought of people.”
And that is precisely why, fifteen years now after 9/11, the West is weaker and more vulnerable than ever: the entire Western intelligentsia, the totality of our political and media elites, steadfastly refuses to acknowledge exactly what the “mind-set and thought” of the terrorists really is, and where it comes from. And because of that refusal, policies that don’t deal with the actual problem keep being applied and re-applied, at the cost of thousands of American lives, billions of American dollars, and nothing to show for all this expenditure but a sharp and continuing loss of American power and prestige. The jihadis who struck the U.S. on September 11, 2001 have made such immense advances since then not because they are strong, or clever, or capable, but because we are weak, short-sighted, and resolute not in fighting them but in maintaining our denial about who they are and what they want, to the extent that we have taken numerous steps not to stop them, but actually to enable them to achieve their goals — the billions to the Islamic Republic of Iran and the massive Muslim migrant influx being just two of the most recent examples.
And today, instead of stories about the jihad threat and how it can be defeated or at least contained, the media is full of articles that would give an uninformed observer the impression that 3,000 Muslims were killed in the 9/11 attacks: the media preoccupation today is almost entirely with Muslims as victims. “Muslim Americans still struggle with hate crimes, 15 years after 9/11,” claims AOL. “For many Muslims, especially those born after Sept. 11, Islamophobia seems to be a fact of life,” laments the Huffington Post. The Washington Post has a piece by Rep. Keith Ellison: “I’m the first Muslim in Congress. I believe America can beat Islamophobia. Fifteen years after 9/11, American Muslims have seen both progress and peril.”
Coming after Fort Hood, and Boston, and Garland, and Chattanooga, and San Bernardino, and Orlando, as well as Paris, Brussels, Nice, and so very many others, this myopia is ludicrous to the point of being grotesque. And it is one key reason why this war drags on, fifteen years after 9/11: millions passively and unthinkingly accept the dogma that to speak honestly and accurately about the jihadis’ motives and goals is to descend in “racism” and “bigotry,” and to endanger innocent Muslims. And so fifteen years after 9/11, it is still almost unheard-of for there to be an honest discussion of jihadi motives and goals in the mainstream.
Fifteen years after 9/11, the free West is dug in: wholeheartedly committed to denial, willful ignorance, and policies that are self-defeating to the point of suicidal. In light of that, the wonder is not that this war has lasted so long, but that we have held out so long. Unless the political landscape changes considerably and this denial is decisively rejected and discarded, darker, much darker, days are coming.

JCD1974 says
Both Germany and Japan were transformed from militaristic nations to pacifist nations by WWII. Yet this transformation did not come voluntarily, it came as a result of brutal force, that saw every major city in both countries reduced to rubble. The suffering inflicted on the civilian population was enormous but it worked. The time for compassion and generosity came after victory by the Allies, a victory that was total.
Our forefathers learned that anything short of total victory would have resulted in another world war on the future They were intent on not repeating the mistake of WWI.
Sadly, our leaders today do not possess the courage it will take to totally defeat Islam.

It is too bad our constitution is a bit bland. They definitely should have outlawed the koran and explained why this is a good idea. Instead, they never dealt with the subject. When I read the koran I was struck by how sparse the accounts of the Jewish religious figures was. If a person wanted to know anything about them, they would have to read the bible. All of Jesus’s quotes, and in particular His quotes against phony executions were eliminated, which has lead to many acts of murder. I was also struck by some ugly exaggerations about the Jews. Unfortunately, muslims are attached to a book of unholy things like this.The islamic movement exists solely because those in it are in a state of denial about what they are really attaching themselves to. They aren’t capable of coming clean and admitting the koran is more sparse than the Jewish book. We’ re being killed by people who are out of touch with reality. The koran’s faults give any government the legitimate authority to get rid of this book. No doubt we could have avoided 9-11 and other deaths of folly if our forefathers were more in depth and on point with their document.
Oliver says
You are right- and this showed form THE BEGINNING. BUSH- AFTER THE 911 ATTACKS, STOPPED AIRLINES FORM FLYING. BUT ALLOWED THE BEN LADEN FAMILY TO LEAVE THE US- BY AIR–BEFORE/WITHOUT ALLOWING-THE FBI TO INTERROGATE THEM.
Mr. Trump was correct (AND I AM A REPUBLICAN, WORKED FOR BARRY GOLDWATER AS A TEEN VOLUNTEER IN 1964) that George W Bush was a traitor-or at least committed a traitorous act-while President. (I also voted- twice-for Bush; and twice for his father- the election he won and the one he lost).
(George W. Bush, also, at one time-perhaps more then one time- was asked, Iraq had little to nothing to do with 911- why attack them, and his answer was, “Saddam Hussein threatened my daddy”. To me, sounds more like 2 six year olds in a playground.)
And our leaders today are even worse- Obama, Kerry, Clinton, here in the US. (I don’t consider Mitt Romney although he is just a private citizen but he/his family/his business interests, like the politicians interests-feed at the public trough; John McCain; and others to be much better- regardless of what they call themselves)

Bin L was NOT in the USA on 9-11-2001, but parts of the Saudi Family were. These may or may not have the finance people. At least one was funneled thru a Saudi “Princess” , the men too afraid to accept any responsibility foisted on a woman,,,,….!! Why we still allow them to operate is a disgrace.
dwight hogg says
don’t forget that most of the world believed Sadam had weapons of mass destruction and he had previously used them to slaughter Kurds. I read an article that France told Sadam to hold on and not abdicate – which Bush gave him a chance to do. Most of the world believed he was a threat – he previously invaded Kuwait and had his sites on Saudi Arabia. But Bush screwed up – he should have taken over the country and protected the people and then turned it over to the UN.

Short and super to the point article.
The problem is Islam is treated as a religion rather than an ideology.(political ideology)
It was easier to defeat an ideology nazism, communism and the fact that it was concentrated in only certain areas.
Same applied to Japan.Not based on religion but ideology.
Islam is worldwide and becoming more of a political ideology rather than a religion as we l know religion.
It is easier to attack an ideology than a religion.
Most of the world’s population belong to a religion so if someone says you are attacking my religion we all take a step back.
David WS says
Right. Those persons who died 15 years ago in the attacks weren’t participating in a religious ceremony, they were participating in a political attack. We are at war with political Islam which is totalitarian by nature, against freedom of conscience, freedom of speech, freedom of religion and a very dysfunctional group it is.
Look at all the unrest and violence in the Muslim world.
dwight hogg says
Islam has always been an ideology – read some of Ayaan Hirsi Ali’s books and see how clearly she reveals that Islam has never been a religion of peace but a religion of war

A SUGGESTION FOR THOSE OF US HERE READING JW, WHO HAVE CHILDREN BETWEEN AGE 20 AND 40 —-
When about 30 undistracted, quiet minutes appear for serious conversation with your kids — IN PERSON — not by phone, read this final paragraph of Robert’s item:
” Fifteen years after 9/11, the free West is dug in: wholeheartedly committed to denial, willful ignorance, and policies that are self-defeating to the point of suicidal. In light of that, the wonder is not that this war has lasted so long, but that we have held out so long. Unless the political landscape changes considerably and this denial is decisively rejected and discarded, darker, much darker, days are coming.”
Then ask how long THEY predict it will take for America to prevail over Islam. Give as much time as they need to really reflect on that question. If their response is, “Oh, maybe 30 years,” continue with “And what must the United States ACTUALLY DO for us to be successful?” Finally, share your OWN guess, honestly, regarding victory or defeat. If you are truly worried that odds of winning are NOT good (as I am), say so.
That conversation JUST MIGHT OPEN THE DOOR for them to hear recommendations on the best internet sites to get truth about Islam. Most of us already have several great ones, however, for those newbies still getting resources gathered, these are mine:

Today being the fifteenth anniversary of that heinous and murderous Islamic jihad attack against both humankind and America by jihadists who were operatives of al Qaeda. Who were as delusional as men can possibly be. With their strong, yet bling and unquestioning faith in Islam’s “holy book,” the Quran with is false doctrine of a sex-filled paradise with many virgins ,houris in it for the Muslim male who dies as a “martyr” in the jihad for the cause of Islam. This abuses doctrine of the Quran of “killing and being killed” and in the jihad in found for example 9:111. Likewise a doctrine of a paradise with many virgins for the jihadist “martyr>” is found in the Quran in 44:54. 55:56. 78:31.
Second, concerning the subject of those Islamic suicide/homicide – bombers /attackers of 9/11. They are so thoroughly brainwashed and deluded that they actually think of their murderous actions as “martyrdom operations.” This jihad evil and madness is based on the doctrine the Quran of a far-fetched and nonsensical doctrine of a sex- filled paradise with many virgins, hours, in it for the use only by the jihadist/Muslim male who dies as a “martyr” fighting for the cause of Islam. This weird religious/Islamic This bizarre and odd, irrational Quranic doctrine is not open, to the jihadist, to inquiry, questioning. logic or reason. So this blind unreasoning kind of “faith” in the Koran is a reminder that Thomas Jefferson had written. “Man, once surrendering his reason, has no remaining guard against absurdities the most monstrous, and like a ship without a rudder, is the sport of every wind. With such persons, gullibility, which they call faith, takes helm from the hand of reason and the mind becomes a wreck.” Likewise, Benjamin Franklin had printed in POOR RICHARD’S ALMANACK something which may apply to this topic. For Mr. Franklin had printed “The way to see by faith is to shut the eye of reason.”

Since today is the fifteenth anniversary of that murderous jihad affront against humankind and vicious attack against United States which occurred on September 11, 2001. It’s therefore a good time to remember that for the United States to continue as a great power in the world in spite of the current threats of the Islamic terrorism by jihadist /Muslim terrorists who are operatives of ISIS, Al Qaeda and other jihadists of other similar jihad terror entities. Americans then should have Vigilance, Conviction and, of course, Fortitude. As one of the signers of the Declaration of Independence had declared “Let the eye of vigilance never be closed.” and “A conviction that we are right accomplishes half the difficulty of correcting wrong.” Likewise, Mr. Jefferson had also stated “Fortitude…teaches us to meet and surmount difficulties; not to fly from them.”

“…the media preoccupation today is almost entirely with Muslims as victims.”
Spencer is so right about that. We have the same propaganda b.s. from our local media in Minneapolis, a.k.a. Little Mogadishu. The leading paper in Mpls, Star and Trib, had a propaganda piece just yesterday called, Twin Cities Muslims on guard as 9/11, holiday both approach. Really? THEY’RE on guard? From what? fearful stares?
What a bizarre stance for the media or anyone else to take in light of the facts. virtually all violence and hateful discrimination is by muslims toward us “infidels.” (I apologize for using that despicable term the muslim “religion” uses to brand us for death or subjugation, but it’s the truth.) A leading instigator behind this perversion of facts is usually MN CAIR, their head demon is a guy by the name of Jaylani. What a piece of work he is, a snake with no reservations about defaming our state with groundless accusations of “islamophobia” and race hate. And this despite the fact that the ideology and traditions he’s trying to advance expresses unequivocal threats of violence and murder against non-muslims and is notoriously antisemitic. I’m no historian but that sounds an awful lot like what Hitler’s Nazis did in the 30’s.
One irrefutable fact I’ve learned is that the mainstream media is no place to go for an unbiased assessment of islam or the murder and violence it teaches and causes. That’s why JW and ATLAS SHRUGS will always be the definitive source of news about islam and the grave threat it presents to the world–our human rights, our security, and our freedoms.

This being the fifteenth anniversary of those vicious Islamic terror attack of the jihad on September 11, 2001 it was Quranic based . As found in Sura 2:191. 9:5, 123. 47:4. To become even for specific the Quran instructs in 9: 111 “The believers fight in Allah’s Cause, they slay and are slain they kill and are killed.” That’s just what happened on 9/11 those jihadist/Muslims did “kill and were killed.” In the Islamic jihad attack by al Qaeda .Likewise, the Quran teaches in 47:4. “Whenever you encounter the
unbelievers strike off their heads until you make a great slaughter among them…” Let’s face it , using jet planes as missiles as those al Qaeda jihadist did on September 11, can sure make a greater slaughter among them then a sword can.” Furthermore, on Palestinian television Imam Suliman Satari said “Annihilate the Infidels… Allah count them and kill them, to the last one and don’t leave even one.” Furthermore Imam Abu Hamza Al-Masri said “What makes Allah happy? Allah is happy when Kafiers get killed. [1] . The above words of these Imams reflect the example of Islam’s prophet and the teachings of the Quran. “Muhammad now fell upon them [the Jews] slew all the men, nine hundred of them…”[2] In short, these Imams and their murderous prophet with their bloody Quran show the world what Islam really is. After all, Jesus did teach “by their fruits ye shall know them.” Matthew 7:20. [KJV]

Jerry says
You reaffirm the key point about islam, this violence is 1400 years older than 9/11. Islam was founded on violence and that’s at the heart of the islamic faith–kill, conquer, and destroy. That’s the main teaching of their god and prophet that supersedes any good islam might contain, muslims are commanded to control others in the name of their religion even if it requires murder and violence to do it. Islam hardly even qualifies as a religion. It contains teachings that are aggressive, hateful, and murderous, against non-muslims. If that’s a “religion” then it’s for a devil. That’s why they are raping us, building exclusive enclaves, suing us, threatening, rioting, killing us, and pretty-much taking over where ever their numbers allow. And what’s the message we get in return from our politicians and media? That we must respect muslims’ right to their religion, even though it means the murder of our people, and destruction of our nation, our freedoms, and cultural identity. It’s difficult to understand the motives of these defenders of a violent creed like islam. But suffice to say they are anti American and evil, either out of ignorance or bad intent. They must be overcome. For the sake of nation and humanity.

Jerry says
You’re right. You’ve heard of black holes in the vacuum of space from which light cannot escape. Ellison is like that, just another black hole in islam’s vacuum of evil from which human rights and equality are forever trapped. And Europe’s event horizon into that black hole is not too far off. It’s a cataclysmic event that threatens the world’s peace and freedom, all for a demonic cult of ignorance and hate. I truly believe Spencer has one of the most important jobs on the face of the planet. He is literally fighting to save humanity from the murder and brutality that always comes with islam’s tyrannical rule for a demon god. It almost sounds like horror fiction, but it’s oh so real.

Abu Nudnik says
Nation states have historically been that of the projection of power by an individual or group over their own landscape, others adjacent to it, and hinterlands and the trade routes running to and from them.
The modern European states were a reaction to the Reformation and Counter-Reformation. The Peace of Westphalia sought to end religious warfare and established nationalism.
The Islamic world has never understood itself in this way. For them, the Umma, the people of Islam, is the ideal. Various leaders have emerged to unite the Ummah into a Caliphate, in imitation of Mohammed. The Arab and other Muslim nation states are artificial constructions used to overwhelm Western (Christian) institutions, while beneath the surface, the real battle is to establish a Caliphate and make war on all non-Muslims.
Destroying their holy places might be a start but ending the importation of Muslims into Western countries is an absolute necessity. But many Westerners believe Islam is just another flavor of popsicle. It’s disaster.
Greyhound Fancier says
Certainly. we don’t need more seditious potential time bombs. One way to encourage “self-deportation” would be so suspend all governmental “benefits” of any kind to Mohammedans.
If they can’t support themselves, can’t afford an apartment or to feed themselves, maybe the umma can take over their care and feeding.

Walter Sieruk says
2001 when he received news of that murderous affront on humankind and America, being such an evil and vile character that he was. Bin Laden when he found out that his demonic scheme worked all he could do was sit around a grin. That Islamic fiend Bin Laden that no sympathy or empathy all for all the people who died the awful way in America. For he was actually glad about that murderous jihad calamity that occurred that day of 9/11. To such a callousness of that character as Bin Laden the Bible teaches “He who is glad calamity will not go unpunished.” Proverbs 17:5. For that’s just what happened. For as they say “What goes around comes around.” So when his deadly violence came back on him in his compound on the outskirts of Abbottabad he was no longer grinning. For on the day the heroic Navy SEAL’s exterminated him, the report was that he looked confused and scared. Likewise the Bible teaches “For whatever a man sows, that he will also reap” Galatians 6;7. Bin Laden sowed violence and death so therefore he reaped violence and death. The very words of Jesus thus are proven be to be true. For Jesus taught the “He who takes up the sword shall perish by the sword.” Matthew 26:52. For Bin laden took up the firearm and he died by the firearm Osama bin Laden is now suffering in the fire of hell. May the name of Osama bin Laden rot in history. As the Bible teaches “The name of the wicked shall rot.” Proverbs 10:7.
Also, the heroes of United 93 banded together to fight the Jihadists and foiled their evil scheme by preventing more death and destruction in Washington D.C. The heroes united in a band or cord against those Islamic evildoers. The above is a reflection of Ecclesiastes 4: 12. This reads “Though one may be over-powered, two can defend themselves. A cord of three strands is not quickly broken..”
Finally, all these jihadists will have a harsh awakening after they die; they will find out that they were lied to about the 72 virgins in a paradise. That is just one of many “cleverly invented stories” of men Second Peter 1:16. Instead of the virgins they will find themselves in hell with no hope.
Tracy Hubbard says
Wisdom my friend.
Greyhound Fancier says
The Almighty and Living God is the God of the Living.
People who love death more than we love life are of Satan. Mohammedanism is Satan’s greatest triumph – Satan laughs when Mohammedans murder, rape, and oppress others in the name of “religion”.
I comfort myself with the idea that the Mohammedans are now over-reaching: information about their beliefs and practices are becoming more well-known, the highly sexualized nature of their doctrines is coming to light, and the incompatibility of Mohammedanism with modern life is apparent.
It could be that through this over-reach, the prayers of the saint and angels, and all of the Church militant (i.e. the church here and now) will result in the Mohammedan umma having an encounter with the true and living God. That could result in many millions of conversions.
Mohammedans are also children of God (the true, living God). They deserve our prayers for their conversion.
Praise the Lord and pass the ammunition!!
Walter Sieruk says
Those nineteen al Qaeda operatives with all their Islamic scheming in their malicious and murderous jihad and likewise demonically ambitious. Furthermore, all those Muslim /jihadist of September 11, 2001 all had a very harsh reality check after they died in their deluded jihad Islam murder attack. Foe after those Islamic terrorists died they found themselves no in any kind of paradise whatsoever, with are without virgins, Those Muslim terrorists of al Qaeda found themselves trapped and suffering in the fires of hell. For the Bible teaches that a murderer “shall not inherit the kingdom of God,” Galatians 5:21. Likewise, the Bible further teaches that “murderers …shall have their part in the lake of which burneth with fire and brimstone…” Revelations 21:8. [K.J.V.]
Angemon says
At the same time, they become increasingly more and more extreme. Not because they want to – or so I assume – but because the truth catches up to them eventually and they need to become more shrill and noisy. The more they present muslims as victims, the more the general public starts to wonder exactly why and how muslims are “victims”. A muslims doesn’t get a diet soda in a flight? Islamophobia at 30,000 feet! Someone posted a pic of a quran being burned? Oh, the islamophobia! Someone placed bacon in the door of a mosque! Jail the islamophobe!
They can’t fool everyone all the time, and the more “extreme”, shrill and unhinged they get, the more people they drive away.
Oliver says
A- they try and fool the people all the time. back when Bloomberg was mayor in New York, some BACON WRAPPERS were found on a field (of a high school) (this was in Staten Island-one of the 5 boroughs on New York City, and a true island-surrounded by water) on a day that some Muslims were going to use the field.
Bloomberg immediately apologized; put the police on overtime to find out who did this dastardly deed and basically had his panties tied up in knots.
A week or two later (I forgot the time frame) with no leads, and nothing happening, a man called a local freebie newspaper ( Shopper type- paper is free, make money form advertisements) . ( Called after hours-not a 24/7 newspaper operation).
The man spoke to a recording device- he was responsible. His story- he went grocery shopping, and put MOST (but not all) of the groceries in his car; one bag (possibly more- but one is all that is relevant) he placed in his trunk. He arrived at his home, and unloaded the car. Something happened (I don’t recall if the story mentioned that eh said what happened- but two guesses-a phone call or he had to go to the bathroom). he forgot about the package(s) in the trunk. The bacon was in the package of groceries, in the trunk.
Then, at a somewhat later date he-he had to go out of town-opened the trunk, and there was the groceries. The bacon was spoiled.
He drove to the field-as sea gulls ( who eat almost anything) frequently flew over the field. (Apparently, the field is near the water). He opened the packages, and threw the bacon on the ground, for the sea gulls to eat. And the wrappers in a trash receptacle. Probably- wind took out the packaging; or perhaps an animal or bird- whatever.
NO CRIMINAL INTENT.
but the fuss- one would think someone bombed a building and killed people. And the politicians from Bloomberg on down kissing assholes.
Walter Sieruk says
Don’t let them fool you, the many apologists for Islam is will endeavor to set up a smokescreen to hide the reality of the truth about the violence and deadly essence of Islam by making the bogus claim that the al Qaeda operatives mass murderer on 9/11 were not real Muslims and that they were breaking the laws of the Qu ‘ran by their violence and deadly actions.” The apologists for Islam will further make the totally false claim that “Those terrorists on 9/11 were only criminals who hijacked the peaceful religion of Islam for Politics.” Those outrageously false claims are weak attempt of damage control for the image of Islam to the West. For the “holy book” of Islam the Qu ‘ran. For the Qu ‘ran instruct in Sura 9:111. Muslims who are engaging the jihad that “The believer’s fight in Allah’s Cause, they slay and are slain ,they kill and are killed “ That’s just what happened on September 11, 2001 the jihadists of al Qaeda “killed and were killed” in those 9/11 jihad attacks against both humankind and America. The Quran also teaches in Sura 9:123 to that jihad –minded Muslims behavior towards non-Muslims “let them find harshness in you…” Those Islamic attacks on 9/11 were indeed very “harsh.” As Sura 2:191 instructs “kill the disbeliever wherever you find them.” That’s a very strange kind of “peaceful religion” if there ever was one. Just to site one more out on many from the Qu ‘ran about the instruction of deadly violence is Sura 47:4. Which instructs “Whenever you encounter unbelievers strike off their heads until you make a great slaughter among them …” Let’s face it, using jet planes a missiles as those jihadist/ Muslims did of September 11, sure made a greater “slaughter among them” then sword can. Wake up West to the actual nature of Islam before it’s too late.
Greyhound Fancier says
Mr. Walter, do you think that the governmental/media/education complex support for Mohammedanism is all based on $$$$ pain to set up institutes, pay for trips to the Middle East, and just plain payola – like Bill Clinton being paid huge money for a short speech at a meeting?
Otherwise, none of the covering up for Mohammedan outrages makes a bit of sense. I think many of these people are being bought and paid for – and the money goes to influence other foolish multi-culti supporters.

Some sports –minded Americans might be very offended at this essay. Nevertheless since today is the fifteenth anniversary of that Islamic murderous jihad affront against both humankind and America, on September 11, 2001, this write up may be fitting. On the topic of Marxism and Islamic terror and even sports. Karl Marx was wrong when he wrote down his claim that “Religion is the opium of the people.” From years of first-hand observations I can keyboard the hypothesis that the real “opium of the people is sports. For many Americans refuse to buy, read and study books about Islam and its militant and stealth jihad. As, for example, by the author Mark Gabriel who was a former Muslim and now a Christian and wrote the book ISLAM AND TERRORISM. Other scholars of this topic many also be very informative .As the writer and scholar of Islamic terrorism as Pamela Geller, Robert Spencer, Erick Stakelbeck and Brigitte Gabriel. Instead in investing their time of the suspect of Islamic terrorism some American invest much of their time focused on sports. That of course is their prerogative. Nevertheless, this still shows some kind of misplaced values about what really matter. As in this indicates wrong priorities about what really important in life. As Brigitte Gabriel wrote in her book which is entitled BECAUSE THEY HATE which reads “The West is ignorant and refuses to learn.”

15 year anniversary of 9=11:
Never Forget.
Islam must be excised from the western world and kept within the confines of Saudi Arabia and Syria, the Glorious Caliphate of Islamic Paradise.
Moslems do not belong anywhere in the western world at all.
Walter Sieruk says
The jihadists affront on September 11, 2001 and how they schemed beforehand to commit that atrocity can be seen to a degree in the Word of God. For Psalm 94:21 reads “They gather together against the life of the righteous and condemn innocent blood.” Nevertheless, the passengers on United 93 withstood the jihadists as one. Thus the enemy didn’t reach their target. “Though one may be overpowered by another, two can withstand him. And a threefold cord is not quickly broken.” Ecclesiastes 4:2. Furthermore, the Muslims who rejoiced over the world that day because of what happened to those people in America on September 11. For those militant Muslims called America evil and the calamity that occurred good is answered in the Bible, Proverbs 17:5 and Isaiah 5;20. “He who is glad at calamity will not go unpunished.” – “Woe to those who call evil good and good evil…” Also Proverbs 17:15.may be added “He who justifies the wicked and he who condemns the just, both of them alike are abomination to the Lord.” In conclusion, the mindset and end of the jihadists that day, as well as other Militant Muslims is best explained in Ecclesiastes 9:3. “the hearts of the sons of men are full of evil; madness is in their hearts while they live, and after that they go to the dead.”

Mister Sieruk good hearing form you.

I know precisely the reason for being in this position. Did I get my crystal ball back from the repair shop? No.
I repeat myself: If one tower had toppled onto the other on February 26, 1993, then well-over 50,000 people would have been killed in 20 seconds and even the detestable, obscene President Bill Clinton would have done something about it as every person in the Western world would have insisted upon a solution.
Perhaps, this is too radical an idea? What about a “more successful” 9/11? If the two planes that EVENTUALLY brought down the towers had hit lower floors–particularly the first plane–and both nearer in time, then MANY more people would have been killed and we wouldn’t be having this discussion.
Walter Sieruk says
Last week on September 9 some I know who works as a security guard at a public place told me a Muslim actually had the nerve to walk over to him and said to him two Muslim “Jokes” about 9/11. As if it was a funny subject. It’s wrong to even try to “joke” about 9/11. Talk about bad “jokes” those two are the very much worsted of all. The first was “What is the difference between September 11, 20001 and a cow?” answer “You don’t keep milking a cow after fifteen years.” Not only is that “joke” awful but those Muslims trying to be funny by say that cruel thing do have some gall because they have no room to talk . For they are still are “milking” the topic of the Crusades and the Crusade have been over for well more than seven hundred years. What gall they have! The second “Muslim “joke” about 9/11 is “On September 11, 2001 the people trapped on the upper floors of the WTC had ordered their pizza sent to them plane.” To say that such “humor” is terrible is an understatement. Furthermore, those Muslim who say those “jokes” are really only exposing their own sick, vicious, callous and heartless Islamic mindset.”
Tracy Hubbard says
They Love death, Let the American people give them this gift.
Walter Sieruk says
Fifteen years ago many Muslims rejoiced in different countries around the world then they found about the outcome of those al Qaeda jihad attacks in which so many people died . They were so glad and happy about all those people who died in such terrible ways. The reason they felt so happy with joy is because ,as the Bible explains such people have had “their conscience seared with a hot iron.” First Timothy 4:2. {K.J.V.] For them that “hot iron is Islam

Do you remember the Palestinian grandmother, laughing with glee, and distributing candy to the children that day?
jeremysteering says
GF, it’s one that has always remained in my mind too. For me it nailed the lie that the fanatics are just a handful of extremists – there are MILLIONS with extreme and unacceptable views all across the Muslim world. After the Brussels attacks, outraged Belgian newspapers reported that “a ‘significant’ proportion of the Muslim community had been “dancing” in the streets following the attacks on March 22 in which 32 innocent victims were killed, and over 300 people injured.” These law-abiding people had already sheltered one of the Paris attackers for FOUR MONTHS, knowing he was responsible for the murder of 130 innocent people.

I’m not clear on how December 7, 1956 relates to this.

A combination of Pearl Harbor and Suez. American and British defeats at the beginning of wars I think.

Not funny, Richard.

1956 brings to mind Hungary and the Russians, while THE WEST HAD IT’S HAND ON THE SNOOZE BUTTON OR perhaps, still reeling from that awful Century’s wars…
scherado says
I really do mean America with, “THE WEST”.
scherado says
That IS what I think of when I seen “1956”: The Hungarian Revolution and the….inaction.
I really do think Roger Waters will have been right in the end: This Species will Amuse Itself to Death.
My money is on that outcome.
Yes, but is it time to cash in your stocks? You’ll know then….

15 years after the Pearl Harbor attack, the war, the attack had begun, had been over for 11 years.
Pal says
At Pearl Harbor 1941, 10,000 Japanese soldiers on ships, planes, air-carriers, submarines in the area, brought the dead of 2471 people.
At NY WTC towers in 2001, islam attackers were 10 in 2 planes and they caused 2977 deaths.

Is “the free West is dug in: wholeheartedly committed to denial, willful ignorance, and policies that are self-defeating to the point of suicidal”? If so, then how could it be true that “Jihad Watch” is accomplishing its main goals? How could it be true that JW has been “bringing public attention to the role that jihad theology and ideology play in the modern world”? How could it be true that JW has been “correcting popular misconceptions about the role of jihad and religion in modern-day conflicts”?
I won’t dispute the claim that pests like Democrats, “Progressives”, the Bush family, and Shane Smith are dug in and hardheadedly committed to denial. You need to take account, however, of some contradictory evidence.
In America, the GOP has been unable to suppress a sceptic named Trump. In Germany, there is a new, rising party known as AfD. (And did you see this?: http://www.danielpipes.org/blog/2016/08/two-opposing-views-of-the-islamist-threat ) Pope Islamophilic Liberationtheology is ridiculed openly by his own church’s faithful. And what is Brexit if not a referendum on Islamic colonization of Britain? From these facts alone it’s clear that this civilization is NOT wholeheartedly committed to denial, ignorance, and policies of surrender.
Or it is, but then JW has failed “to ensure that deeds done in the darkness for so long will not continue to be done”. In this case, it’s time to develop very different strategies and new tactics for dealing with Islamic imperialism and its most notorious tactic, i.e. jihad.
scherado says
The question always is, “Is it enough?”
I’ll repeat myself: We teach people how to treat us.
Allan says
True, but beside the point, which is that Mr. Spencer is unduly pessimistic. This poses at least two problems: First, one might be tempted to abandon strategy or tactics which are effective for those which are less so. Second, misplaced pessimism makes one look disconnected from reality—which is a bad way to appear given that we do, indeed, teach others how to treat us.

<<<<<<<<<<
Mr Spencer was too well read for me too.
Spike1033 says
Suez was not exactly a British/French defeat. When Nasser, the Egyptian President took control of the Suez Canal the British and French, who had built the canal and regarded it as a vital route to the far east, arranged with Israel to provoke an Egyptian attack. This duly happened and an Anglo-French force took the canal in order to ‘halt the fighting’. Unfortunately President Eisenhower felt the British and French had overstepped their mark and blackmailed the two allies to withdraw. Part of his action may have been that he believed the Egyptians would be grateful. He may later have regretted that there was no ‘western presence’ to dissuade the Arabs from attacking Israel or in halting Iraqi and Libyan expansionism.
scherado says
Perhaps, Mr. Spencer is mocking the result: “Remember 9/11, while you’re sleeping.”
Personally, I don’t know how Mr. Spencer hasn’t gone mad from frustration.
I’ve been attempting to get the professional yappers, clickers, commentators to consider the squirrel running round and round the cage: It’s well-greased, a splendid description of the problem…
What to DO? It’s not a question I have answered…
I DO know when one starts identifying the enemy as ourselves, friends fall away…

could someone please really explain why Dec.7 th 1956 ?
Michael Warden says
Dec 7th 1956 minus Dec 7th 1941 = 15 years. Sept 11 2016 minus Sept 11 2001 = 15 years.
Pal says
Yes, that is the point.
Russia’s 1956 second commuinist invasion of Hungary (after 1944) was 23 October – 10 November.

One day there will be justice. One day everyone responsible for this will pay. And when that day comes our fallen will finally sleep in peace.
davej says
9/11 was another Pearl Harbor, only worse, because it was spectacularly successful, striking at our leading City, our Military Command and, were it not diverted by brave Americans, the White House itself.
A religious war is always worse than a military war. Particularly when the enemy is simultaneously being imported into our midst and subsidized by taxpayers to build Mosques and madrases and pressure us to accept their Sharia law.
Prediction: The next major terrorist attack will involve nuclear materials. The mad Mohammedans just salivate over the destructive and disruptive power of these weapons. And they have the money, intent and tactics to acquire them.
scherado says
The Japanese would NOT have done such a thing.
Ronald Reagan: “Terrorism is the preferred weapon of weak and evil men.”
The Japanese (then) wouldn’t be caught dead doing such a thing.
Lesley says
What is wrong with us? Bacon repels them– BACON!!
We went from kill ’em all, let God sort ’em out thinking in the Vietnam War era to not wanting to offend anyone in case they’re not plotting our demise.
Of course we haven’t won the war 15 years after 9/11– our leaders obviously forgot what war is and what it is for 🙁
Trump is the only hope see for the US…
patriotliz says
This is the Leftist propaganda of “blame America first” even when we are attacked by Islamic crazies multiple times. We are a easy pickings for the IslamoNazis because of the mantra “NOT ALL MUSLIMS are TERRORISTS.” So let’s not be Islamophobic (or “deplorable” according to Hillary). Now that a Mosque has been torched in Florida…the Islamophobic HATE CRIME will be front and center…not the people killed at the Orlando nightclub–that’s viewed as another TERRIBLE TRAGEDY due to guns. This submissive attitude toward Islam is so counter-intuitive to the normal self-preservation instinct of a Nation that only massive brain-washing can explain this dhimmitude and submission.
Gary says
You wrote: “Yet in reality, nothing, nothing whatsoever, is being done in Britain or anywhere else to change “the mind-set and thought of people.”
And: “…the entire Western intelligentsia, the totality of our political and media elites, steadfastly refuses to acknowledge exactly what the “mind-set and thought” of the terrorists really is….”
I heartily disagree. Everything has been done by the Western intelligentsia, political and media elites to promote Islam to try and change the mind of Western civilization in its favor, including apologist historical revision and the denigration of Western civilizations Judeo-Christian roots and democratic principles to benefit their Progressive Agenda.
It is beyond comprehension. It is beyond despicable.
I have come to the conclusion that the Western elitists believe the Islamists are merely useful “tools” whom they will ultimately outsmart. In that, they are foolishly and sadly mistaken – in the end, if not stopped, EVERYONE will end up with their head on pike.

Excellent article….I too feel the exasperation of the situation that is forbidden to identify…..jihad tactics of sharia…it is doctrine now taught in America at the ‘doctrine built learning centers,” it’s hiding under the premise it is religious but it has a double identity one that would be easy to identify, it certainly is NOT the” alt right”, her made up word or the” basket of deplorable truth tellers,that Hilary speaks about, it so much worse, it can be savage as we have witnessed, that only the devout will do and that Trump identifies. It is deplorable that the left of Hilliary/ Obama/MB can’t identify after much loss and are currently flooding the country with….that’s deplorable.
