[To get the whole story on why many leftists celebrate Jihadist attacks on America, pre-order Jamie Glazov’s new book, Jihadist Psychopath: How He Is Charming, Seducing, and Devouring Us: HERE.]
I will never forget how, seventeen years ago on this day, many of the leftists around me in my neighborhood and community had very little trouble expressing their glee about Al Qaeda’ strike on the Twin Towers and the Pentagon.
I had known some of these leftists for years, and after the fall of the Soviet empire in 1989–91 many of them bitterly lamented to me that the “alternative to capitalism” was now gone. A significant number of them retreated into a silent and sullen shell.
Then came 9/11.
Almost overnight, these individuals underwent a miraculous transformation. A bright sparkle could once again be detected in their eyes, as their revolutionary selves came out of a deep slumber. Never had I seen them so happy, so hopeful, and ready for another attempt at creating a glorious and revolutionary future. Without doubt, September 11 represented a personal — and morbid — vindication for them.
The images of the innocent people jumping to their deaths from the Twin Towers evoked no sympathy from these individuals. Instead, they saw only poetic justice in American commercial airplanes plunging into American buildings packed with people. For my leftist acquaintances, the jihadist terror war gave promise of succeeding in a project in which Communism had failed: to obliterate the capitalist system itself. “The U.S. brought this on itself,” they stated repeatedly — and with scornful self-satisfaction.
These disturbing personal encounters I had were a microcosm of the Left’s behavior on the U.S. national scene. In the blink of an eye after the Twin Towers went down, leftists were beating their breasts with eerie repentance for their own government’s supposed crimes and characterizing the tragedy that their nation had just suffered to be some form of karmic justice.
Immediately following the 9/11 attack, leftist academics led with a drum roll. The very next day after the terrorist strike, the Left’s intellectual guru, Noam Chomsky, exonerated the terrorists, stating that the Clinton administration’s bombing of the pharmaceutical plant in Sudan constituted a far more serious terrorist act and warning that 9/11 would be exploited by the United States as an excuse to destroy Afghanistan.
Leftist academics across the country regurgitated Chomsky’s themes, cheering the 9/11 terrorist acts, which they deemed a just retribution for America’s transgressions:
History professor Robin Kelley of New York University stated: “We need a civil war, class war, whatever to put an end to U.S. policies that endanger all of us.”
History professor Gerald Horne of the University of North Carolina asserted that “the bill has come due, the time of easy credit is up. It is time to pay.”
Professor Eric Foner of Columbia University, the renowned Marxist historian, expressed his personal confusion about “which is more frightening: the horror that engulfed New York City or the apocalyptic rhetoric emanating daily from the White House.”
Barbara Foley, a professor of English at Rutgers University, felt 9/11 was a justified response to the “fascism” of U.S. foreign policy.
Mark Lewis Taylor, a professor of theology and culture at Princeton Seminary, thought the WTC buildings were justifiable targets because they were a “symbol of today’s wealth and trade.”
Robert Paul Churchill, a professor of philosophy at George Washington University, rationalized that the terrorist attack was justified:
What the terrorists despised and sought to defeat was our arrogance, our gluttonous way of life, our miserliness toward the poor and its starving; the expression of a soulless pop culture . . . and a domineering attitude that insists on having our own way no matter what the cost to others.
Of course, the infamous Ward Churchill, as we know, outdid all the others, blaming not only Bush and America, but the “little Eichmanns” inside the buildings for the attacks.
Churchill, Chomsky, and their kin on the academic Left were joined by prominent figures in the progressive culture at large. Norman Mailer stepped forward to opine that the suicide hijackers were “brilliant.” In his view, the attack was completely understandable, since “Everything wrong with America led to the point where the country built that tower of Babel which consequently had to be destroyed.”
Oliver Stone affirmed that he saw 9/11 as a “revolt” and compared the subsequent Palestinian celebrations with those that had attended the celebrations in the French and Russian Revolutions. Susan Sontag, meanwhile, held that the terrorist attack was the result of “specific American alliances and actions.”
From the religious camp, Tony Campolo, a leading Christian evangelist who served as one of former President Clinton’s “spiritual advisers,” believed that 9/11 was a legitimate response to the Crusades.
The American flag, a hated symbol to the Left, also became a target: Novelist Barbara Kingsolver was incredulous that her daughter’s kindergarten teacher instructed the students to come to school the next day dressed in red, white, and blue. Nation columnist Katha Pollitt had the same reaction regarding her teenage daughter’s impulse to fly an American flag outside the family home. Pollitt told her that she could “buy a flag with her own money and fly it out her bedroom window, because that’s hers, but the living room is off-limits.” This was, Pollitt explained, because the American flag stands for “jingoism and vengeance and war.”
Similar sentiments were heard throughout Europe as well. The German composer Karlheinz Stockhausen described 9/11 as “the greatest work of art for the whole cosmos.” Dario Fo, the Italian Marxist who won the 1997 Nobel Prize for literature, observed: “The great [Wall Street] speculators wallow in an economy that every year kills tens of millions of people with poverty, so what is 20,000 dead in New York?” [1]
And so, on this sad day, we remember leftists’ eerie and maniacal ecstasy at the images of Americans leaping to their deaths while holding hands — as they jumped from the Towers on 9/11 to escape the burning flames.
And we come to reflect on why the Left celebrated when, on that tragic day, more than 3,000 Americans died.
The Left, at its very core, is saturated with malice and the yearning for the destruction of its own host Democratic-Capitalist society. In that yearning, as I have documented in United in Hate, it automatically sides with America’s totalitarian and terrorist adversaries.
On this 17th Anniversary, let us not forget the victims of 9/11 — and who murdered them. And while we pray for and honor the victims, let us also not forget who celebrated this monstrous crime with delight, mockery and sinister smirks.
For it is only in understanding what we are up against that we will be able to protect ourselves from it — and to save ourselves from its venomous and poisonous fangs.

[1] All these statements are now on the public record. Paul Hollander has an extensive sampling of them in his Understanding Anti-Americanism: Its Origins and Impact at Home and Abroad, pp. 24–27. For a wide selection of academics who verbalized praise of the 9/11 attacks, see David Horowitz, The Professors: The 101 Most Dangerous Academics in America. Horowitz’s Unholy Alliance also contains a large sampling of leftists’ reactions to 9/11.
scherado says
The leftist’s statement is unassailably true: The 8 years of the Clinton “Two-fer” Presidency (Jamie Gorrelick, for example) played the MAJORITY role as cause.karmic justiceDharmic justice (this life); karmic is next life (reincarnation).
In this regard, they failed miserably.
What if the first plane struck 50 floors lower and the second 25 floors lower? Based upon what DID happen, we all know what would have happened in this scenario: From 10,000 to 50,000 people would have died, with some incomprehensible number of injured on the ground.
Let’s take 18,000 dead. What would have been the reaction of Mr. Glazov’s neighbors? The implication that these reprehensible people force upon us is that too few people died on 9/11. Disgusting.

Since today is September 11, 2018 which is the seventieth anniversary of those brutal, cruel and murderous Islamic terror attacks that occurred on September 11,2001 by jihadist/Muslims who were operatives of that heinous and vicious jihad organization al Qaeda have the “holy book” of Islam, the Quran, is the foundation for jihad entity and its deadly violence by the means of which the jihadists of Al Qaeda advance their Islamic agenda. Of the many verses which support and teach jihad violence is Surah 4:89. 5:33.9:5,123. So just to quote two examples from the Quran are Surah 9:111. Which instructs “The believers fight in Allah’s Cause, they slay and are slain, they kill and are killed.” This, very much, reflects the Islamic suicide /homicide jihadists who hijacked those jet planes of 9/11. Also, Surah 47:4 teaches “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 can sure make are greater “slaughter among them” than as word can. Therefore, this leads to every important question “Is the Quran the Word of God or is it a fabrication of a man. Thus, is the Quran the truth or a fiction and a hoax?” The answer is clearly given on pages 145 through 157 in THE ISLAMIC INVASION by Robert Morey in which he wrote a section on the Quran with its self-contradictions. Just two of the many he cited are the following “The Quran differs on whether a day is a thousand years or fifty thousand years in God’s sight’ and “Who was first to believe? Abraham or Moses [Sura 6:14 versus 7:143]? The above is inconsistent and illogical. Further, Morey wrote about “The fact that Judaism and Christianity broke up into different sects was used in the Quran to prove that they are not of God [Suras 30:20-32. 42:13, 14]. Yet Islam has broken up into many warring sects and therefore cannot be true if the Quran is right.” Moreover, Morey in his book shows many more contradictions and absurdities in the Quran, there are and how Muhammad incorporated extra Biblical and Jewish folklore along with pre-Islamic Arabian myth and parts of Zoroastrian and Hindu stories into the Quran. Furthermore, the Muslims claim that “the Quran is the direct, literal word of God unmodified in any way by the Prophet who uttered them at the bidding of God.” Nevertheless, in the book UNVEILING ISLAM by Ergun Mehmet Caner and Eethi Caner has shown that the Quran was modified in the following account on pages 45. “Muhammad felt the need to improve on the words of Allah, since he changed Allah’s wisdom for his own on several occasions. A hadith tells of the nonchalant emendations of Muhammad:’ On a number of occasions he [a scribe] had, with the Prophet’s consent changed the closing words of verses. For example, when the prophet had said ‘God is mighty and wise ‘ Adbollah b. Abi Sarh suggested writing down ‘Knowing and wise’ and the Prophet answered that there was no objection. Having observed a succession of changes of this type, Adbollah renounced Islam on the grounds that revelations, if from God could not be changed at the prompting of a scribe such as himself. After his apostasy he went to Mecca and joined the Qorayshites.’ Other writers reveal that later Muhammad and his people did go war with the Qorayshites and he personally killed Abdollah. Obviously Abdollah knew too much and Muhammad wanted Abdollah’s knowledge to die with him.” In conclusion, the Quran is not only a fiction, it’s also a hoax.
Leon Degney says
Yes, a hoax that in so many Western and Europen countries is not allowed to be criticized in any way shape or form. Why is this “appeasement” not afforded to any other cult, sect or religion? What makes Islam so special, is it because of the violent reaction expected from ratbag adherents, I think so? The Western and European elite have opened a Pandora’s Box of bottomless misery and have no way of controlling it other than shooting the messengers. Absolute cowards the lot of them.
Walter Sieruk says
Those nineteen al Qaeda jihadists with all their Islamic scheming in their malicious and murderous jihad and likewise demonically ambitious. Furthermore, all those Muslim /jihadists of September 11, 2001 all had a very harsh reality check after they died in their deluded jihad Islam murder attack. For after those Muslim 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.]
carpediadem says
Quoting the Bible does not rid the world of jihad. Political activity does.
Leon Degney says
Thoughts, prayers and biblical quotes are certainly not an ointment that can be used to cure or heal jihad As you say carpediadem, some positive political activity could do the trick. Sadly this medicine is well and truly locked up in the jail of Political Correctness, it’s file has been stamped “NEVER TO BE RELEASED”.

Walter Sieruk says
Those heinous and murderous jihad attack which occurred on September 11, 2001 reflects the teaching of the “holy book” of Islam, the Quran. As, for example, the Quran instructs in Sura 9:111. “The believers fight in Allah’s Cause, they slay and are slain, they kill and are killed…” Those jihadist /Muslims who were al Qaeda operatives by using jets as missiles on 9/11 were following the instruction of the Quran to “Kill and be killed” for the cause of Islam Nevertheless, the apologists for Islam still have the gall to make the claim the “Islam is a peaceful religion.” What an outlandishly false claim to make
Walter Sieruk says
There can be no doubt that Osama bin Laden was grinning on that day of September 11, 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.
Guy Forester says
Instead of identifying and going after the state sponsors of these horrific attacks that murdered thousands of civilians, our dufus leaders went after any supposedly soft target they could justify.
Nearly 20 years later, we are still effing around the dance floor and perpetually locked in meaningless inter-Islamic turf wars. The survivors and the families of these murder victims have been silenced and refused justice.
Trump: Put down the tweet machine. Secure the borders. Call in the ambassadors of these crap hole countries that sponsored these terrorists and tell them we know who and what they are. Roll up and destroy their intelligence operations. Remove our troops from them. Stop all aid and contracts with these terrorist incubators. Sink their navies and destroy their air power. Let them continue to fight amongst themselves over who rules Mecca and tell them to stay far away from the US and far away from Jerusalem.
Who the hell ever thought it was a good idea to get involved with holy warriors and muslim to muslim conflicts was smoking something that cooked their brains.
Leon Degney says
Guy Forester, I’m sure Trump would do pretty much what you have stated in your comment but the poor bugger is stymied by the demon of Political Correctness. Boulders are rolled at him every time he mentions trying to control this sick ideology.
Guy Forester says
The entrenched oligarchs resent this outsider screwing up their little faux two party charade. He is intentionally being stonewalled and prevented from doing what we, the citizens have elected him to do. Creeps like Jerry Brown and Cuomo would jump at the opportunity to jump ship and leave the US to set up their own petty little kingdoms.
I suspect that the only thing keeping these thugs from offing the POTUS is they fear that the citizens and a sizeable portion of the military would not sit still for a fake impeachment, indictment, or assassination.

9/11 was a horror for which no justification exists or existed then. To try to rationalize it is the worst kind of cowardice. ALL blame falls clearly at the feet of the perpetrators and their co-conspirators. It has been clearly demonstrated since 9/11 that fundamentalist islam needs little, if any, justification to commit the most atrocious crimes — including 9/11. If we’ve learnt anything since 9/11 it is that, no matter what, you simply can’t appease these people.
Roland says
Not everybody to the left of Jamie Glazov was gloating over 9-11. Some of us are patriots, too!

Dear Americans, on this day of infamy, please always remember that as Infidels/ Kuffar/ Non Muslims, you are NOT the only ones targeted for Subjugation to Sharia or EXTERMINATION by Muslims (Arabs or otherwise) hence it is VITAL that you realize that one does not need more than two brain cells of logic to understand Muslims and Islam in a nutshell~
Since every Muslim is Sharia compliant (Keith Ellison, CAIR, ISNA, London mayor Khan (who made Haj to Mecca as well as Linda Sarsour who LOVES Sharia), every Muslim cannot ever be a Law abiding LOYAL citizen in ANY non Muslim nation because these nations do not submit to Allah’s Sharia.
Hence every Sharia compliant Muslim is by his/her belief system the Mortal and Eternal ENEMY of every human being on Earth who is NOT a Muslim (Infidels/ Kuffar) who hide their disloyalty by PRETENDING and deceiving (Taqiyyah) non Muslims that they are part and parcel of the American or European dream such as Regina Mustafa, Linda Sarsour, etc..
Therefore, Ummat Muhammad (Muslims) 20% of humanity aspires to do one of two things to all non Muslims (Ummat al Kuffar/ Nation of Infidels; 80% of humanity): To SUBJUGATE them to Sharia or to EXTERMINATE them.
Let me put it in an even shorter way: It is impossible for Muslims to be BOTH Good Muslims and Loyal citizens among Kuffar/Infidels
Every Muslim is hence a potential Mass Murderer the instant he/ she decides that he/she is NOT Sharia compliant enough (just like in the recent Muslim terrorist attacks in UK and the Afghani Muslim soldiers who murder their American benefactors)
Although it is true that Not ALL Muslims are Terrorists BUT 100% of all Terrorist attacks against Infidels/ Kuffar are committed ONLY by Muslims. Therefore, every Muslim is a hair trigger Time Bomb primed to go off (It is also a FACT that it is IMPOSSIBLE to point out who among Muslims is a terrorist or not)
Only in the WARPED imagination of leftists can one find Moderate, Militant, Radical or Extremist Muslims because in reality Muslims are Muslims just as Nazis are Nazis and no one ever addressed Nazis as Moderate, Militant, Radical or Extremist. (Just ask PM Erdogan of Turkey to prove my statements)
All other explanations are superfluous and redundant It is time for every decent and patriotic person to unshackle yourselves from the pre conceived but erroneous notion that ANYONE who is not a Muslim can make PEACE with Islam.

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.”
The New King James Version
Elisha says
You are a humble witness for our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, Walter. Further to the human heart in Ecclesiastes:
Because the sentence against an evil work is not executed speedily, therefore the heart of the sons of men is fully set in them to do evil. – Ecclesiastes 8:11
Keep the faith and God bless!
traci94 says
I honestly can not get my head around this. I really do believe people who believe and act like these people (leftists) do should not live in this country. They seem to just spew their hateful beliefs and act to undermine our country all the while living here and even benefiting from living here.
And this quote, “What the terrorists despised and sought to defeat was our arrogance, our gluttonous way of life, our miserliness toward the poor and its starving…”
These terrorists might despise us for our “arrogance and gluttonous way of life”, but how do they account for their bigotry, misogynistic and murderous ways, their human rights abuses such as publicly whipping rape victims or marrying off little girls, their lack of concern for the poor and starving? Is that supposed to be some kind of superior way of life??
I guess I don’t really have a lot to contribute to this conversation other than saying to the leftists – get the heck out of this country and go find your glorious paradise that you think exists somewhere “out there”. Anyone who is against America should go find another place to live and definitely should not be able to hold office here (although unfortunately some do).

Memories of Leftist Glee About 9/11
……………….
Jaime Glazov’s experiences were much worse than mine.
I only had one friend–*former* friend after this–who embraced the horrific “little eichmann” take on 9/11. Even here in the San Francisco Bay Area, most rallied together. There were American flags *everywhere* in people’s windows, including our own.
When the Berkeley Fire Department began flying American flags on their trucks–as did most fired departments in the region–a few idiots in government there told them to stop, because it would hurt the feelings of…someone or other. The fire deportment responded by flying *bigger* flags on their trucks–just huge.
I was on a street corner in Berkeley a few weeks after 9/11 when one of these fire trucks went by, and the whole crowd–including several old hippies and one young guy with an anarchist tattoo–exploded in cheers. It restored a lot of my faith in people, including liberals.
I haven’t been able to find a picture from Berkeley, but here is one from nearby Napa, which gives you an idea:

Great examination of today’s leftists/Democraps/liberals they really hate everything about America. I’ve have seen and heard these same things myself and it’s disgusting. I personally think that they want to change everything from how it was to something worse. They think that if something is from the past it must be changed because it’s racist, these Democraps don’t know that they are the racists. They think changing everything will fix all their hatred and misery in their hearts and it obviously will not.
Lorensacho says
Claiming that leftists celebrated 9/11 is like saying that the right agrees with a few addled GOP Congressmen who claimed that there is safe form of rape. There may be some loony leftists who want a revolution in America, but the vast majority of people on the left cried on 9/11 and are still crying today.

Fuck you Glazov – you are a very sick person.
Jerked off, inflammatory statements like those quoted here are harmful to the mission of Jihadwatch. Such unmitigated horseshit unnecessarily alienates people who identify as left/liberal/progressive, but who agree wholeheartedly with the goals of Jwatch.
p.s. “Leftist’ is rarely defined here. When it is, it is almost always tautological, i.e.,all leftists are stupidly soft on Islamic ideology. And then… leftist is defined as anyone who doesn’t condemn Islam without regard to anything else.

There *were* some on the hard Left who gloated over 9/11–including those cited in the article above.
Not all of those–or even most of those–left of center felt this way. Certainly, the average Liberal did not. But that some on the left did indeed cheer is a troubling fact–one that no amount of swearing changes, unfortunately.
TrueFreeThinker says
The truth always hurts and most liberals have no idea what’s going on in their own party because all they know is what republican said/did this and that and they are utterly clueless about they ideology they support like mindless lemmings. Based on the last three or so comments seems like the article is exactly right on its analysis of how hateful today’s liberals/Democraps really are. When liberals comment like they did in the last three comments you can see how terrible liberals are.
