Exposing the role that Islamic jihad theology and ideology play in the modern global conflicts

UK textbook: “How could it be argued that the creation of Israel was a long-term cause of the 9/11 attacks?”

Page 241 of UK KS3 textbook published by @HodderSchools

How could it be argued that the creation of Israel was a long term cause of the 9/11 attacks

This is 'Israel is the cause of all the wars in the ME conspiracy poppycock.

It is no surprise that a textbook company in the shattered, staggering, dhimmi UK would be teaching this. The underlying assumption, of course, is that Israel’s existence is the cause of jihad violence, and if the U.S. abandoned Israel, it would not suffer any jihad attacks. Anyone who is familiar with the contents of the Qur’an and Sunnah, and honest about those contents, knows this is nonsense, but those who spread it to schoolchildren are assuming they don’t know. Hodder Schools, like other textbook manufacturers, is apparently intent upon raising up a generation of hard-Left Jew-haters who will happily fall in line with the political and media elites’ agenda for their unhappy island.

    REALLY???
    Anyone who has looked in any depth at the 911 attacks will know that they were brought about by the greed of a few people who didn’t care how many of their own citizens they killed, just so long as a war started.
    This of course brought in billions of dollars to the bank accounts of these greedy scum.
    Don’t believe me? Check out what corporations Chaney, Rumsfeld, the Bush family and the Saudi’s are share holders with!
    As the saying goes,,,follow the money!

      It looks as though “keith” is a 9/11 truther who is claiming that the filthy Infidels did 9/11 in order to make the poor Muslims look bad. Try again, creep.

        And we keep saying that the truth is all important.
        GI you obviously didn’t read what I have said in any detail.
        At no point did I say it was done to make the Muslims look bad.
        Did Muslims carry out the attacks? HELL YEAH.
        Were they capable of carrying out the attacks without outside help? HELL NO.

        • Western Canadian says

          Feb 23, 2020 at 11:11 am

          Yes, they were completely capable of carrying out the attacks. HOW MUCH MONEY ARE YOU TAKING TO COME HERE AND LIE??

        • gravenimage says

          Feb 23, 2020 at 8:32 pm

          Of course I read what keith wrote.

          His implication that 9/11 was done by Infidels using Muslims as tools is grotesque. And if he is claiming this for 9/11, why not all other acts of Jihad terror? What about 7/7? The Boston Marathon Bombing? The Ft. Hood massacre? The Manchester attack? Orlando? San Bernardino? Were these all plots by the Kuffar in his estimation? Who knows?

          Here’s another post from him yesterday implying that Jews and Christians are as likely to slaughter people in the name of their faith as are Muslims:

          keith says

          Feb 22, 2020 at 3:58 pm

          Whilst I can appreciate the sentiment behind quoting passages from the bible and the koran, it achieves nothing when dealing with primitive savages.
          This has stuff all to do with who’s religion is correct and everything to do with bringing a murderous belief system to a grinding halt.
          It doesn’t matter which religion these murderers follow, they could be Christian, Jew, Mormon or whatever.
          It is the mindset of the evil men who are pulling the strings that matters and this is what we must fight…

          https://www.jihadwatch.org/2020/02/qassem-suleimani-martyr-in-heaven-or-murderer-in-hell#comment-2208206

          Of course, the idea that all faiths are equally murderous is utterly false.

      Keith, it is on the record what Osama bin Laden said concerning his motivation:

      “We have declared jihad against the U.S. government because the U.S. government is unjust, criminal and tyrannical,” says Osama bin Laden, the world’s most wanted terrorist. “Every American man is an enemy to us.” -OBL

      Feb 23, 2020 at 3:19 am

      You do realise you’re on jihadwatch don’t you?
      And that every single commenter here knows exactly who committed 9/11 and why?

      • keith says

        Feb 23, 2020 at 4:45 am

        Oh yeah, and I detest Islam and everything it stands for.
        However, I do not believe ANYTHING that is on the mainstream media. So when the dust cleared from the attacks I started to ask a lot of questions and didn’t like where the information was pointing.
        Just way too many questions that still can’t be answered.
        A lot of people around the world are still asking questions.

        • Student of History says

          Feb 23, 2020 at 6:48 am

          Questions that need answers but that are just about impossible to answer i today’s world. For me, 9/11 was the biggest false flag of our time which kicked off the final push decades long push to realize (with help from certain groups in the US, UK and EU) the UNs ambition of becoming the world’s singular highest governmental authority.

  2. DHazard says

    Feb 22, 2020 at 4:26 pm

    Answer – because Allah hold’s grudges, is extremely territorial and wants Muslims to carry out his dirty work. Besides, Muslim mass murderers, excuse me – devotees – will usually make a video and tell you their reasons for being a stupid, violent person.

    • Jayell says

      Feb 23, 2020 at 1:44 am

      Holding grudgea and being territorial is characteristic of a paranoid power-hungry human, not a wise eternal Creator of the Universe. Which would be in keeping with the thesis that Allah is no more than a projection of the sort of human evil ambition that we saw in Hitler’s antisemitism and ‘last territorial claims’. Or, as I believe Wellington so neatly put it, ‘Allah is Mohammed’s glove-puppet’.

  3. Norger says

    Feb 22, 2020 at 5:41 pm

    Absolutely unbelievable.

    What they should really be asking “how could it be argued that Islam was the ultimate cause of the 9/11 attacks? A. Because Muhammed Atta and Osama Bin Laden both admitted as much.

  4. gravenimage says

    Feb 22, 2020 at 5:49 pm

    UK textbook: “How could it be argued that the creation of Israel was a long-term cause of the 9/11 attacks?”
    ……………………..

    Just sickening condoning of the murder of thousands of innocent civilians because their nation had been somewhat sympathetic to a state that allowed Jews to live in security over fifty years prior.

    It is also, of course, utter bs. The only thing these two issues have in common is that it is violent Jihad terror from Muslims against both us and Israel.

    • Jayell says

      Feb 23, 2020 at 1:21 am

      Hodder & Stoughton are long-estsblished and respected publishers within the UK Education industry. That this sort of can appear in one of their publications is ample evidence of the extent of the islamomania-based antisemitic corruption that is now gradually rotting the UK establishment. Please note that I say the ‘UK establishment’ and NOT the UK’ because Mr & Mrs. Average over here are aware of this sorr of garbage and regularly make ir clear that they’re having nothing to do with it. And, as you might be aware from the Brexit business, Mr. & Mrs. Average don’t tolerate garbage for too long.

      • gravenimage says

        Feb 23, 2020 at 8:37 pm

        Agreed, Jayell–very disturbing.

  5. owensgate says

    Feb 22, 2020 at 6:13 pm

    It could be argued very successfully that the problems in the ME are a direct result of the Brits carving up the Ottoman Empire across tribal lines first, then reneging on the Balfour Agreement by cutting up “The Land” to appease demanding Mohammedans, instead of what they SHOULD have done, grant Israel ALL the Land apportioned to them and nip in the bud all prospects of encroachment into territory by displaced Jordanians, Syrians, Lebanese et. al., who should have moved into whatever Arab nation most met their expectations.

    • gravenimage says

      Feb 22, 2020 at 6:26 pm

      owensgate, I have a lot of serious issues with the way the British handled things, but the fact is that there would not be an Israel today in any form if it weren’t for their early efforts.

      Moreover–with all respect–the idea that Muslims would not hate Infidels or wage violent Jihad against us were it not for missteps by the British seems pretty questionable–after all, they had been doing this for almost 1300 years at the time of the Balfour Declaration. Muslims would have hated the Jews living in freedom no matter what exact borders Israel may have had. Now, some border are much more defensible than others, and that *is* a serious matter. But the basic hatred of Jews living in freedom goes well beyond this.

      And the same is true of their hatred of the United States and the rest of the West.

      • elee says

        Feb 23, 2020 at 11:39 am

        +1 gi! Yes there is that inconvenient 1300-year history of genocides, Muslims didnt wake up one morning genocidal because of anything any 20th century Englishman may have done. Hell, they owe their whole damned 20th-century establishment, from Saudi Arabia to Irak to Morocco, to the Brits (e.g. T.E. Lawrence, General Allenby, Gubb Pasha et al)…….whom they thanked by throwing in with the Nazis 20 years later.

      No, it could be argued, and substantiated, that the modern West only got involved in the middle east, as the result of middle eastern slave traders, islmaic every one, taking Europeans and American sailors and merchants s as slaves.

      • gravenimage says

        Feb 23, 2020 at 8:46 pm

        Very much agree, Western Canadian–the first “occupation” of a Muslim country by the West was of Algeria by France in 1830, and this was because Algeria simply would not stop pirating ships in the Mediterranean despite the efforts of France, Britain, and the US over the course of decades.

        And good to see you posting again.

    How could it be argued that ignorance of the history of jihad led to the 9/11 attacks? …fixed

    • mortimer says

      Feb 22, 2020 at 9:45 pm

      Response to Islamophone: Ignorance of jihad leads to an overly trusting naivety and a lack of suspicion concerning those who want to destroy the West.

      A clear understanding of the history of jihad is essential to detecting and preventing any future jihad activity. That is called: strategic analysis.

      Only someone with a clear understanding of jihad can predict where the jihadists will strike next.

      The Saudi school curricula create thousands of potential jihadists merely waiting to be asked by a commander (like OBL) to join the caravan of jihad.

  7. somehistory says

    Feb 22, 2020 at 8:54 pm

    “How could it be argued?” Well, if one is intent on putting the blame for islam and its evil, creepy, unholy, despicable, demonic, satanic, unrighteous, unlawful, putrid, and sickening to the core behaviors, actions, crimes, warmongering, lies, filth, etc. on Israel instead of where it belongs…on those who follow and adhere to the violent wild beast from satan the devil…one can “argue.” But it is arguing with the truth, the facts, the history of Israel and islam.

    If one is honest…which so few today seem to be, esp those who have a platform or voice for spreading lies, half-truths, deception, deceit, and every form of lie, then one will have to admit that moslims have been committing murderous atrocities since the raper of children, mass-murderer, lying son of satan, was inspired by that demon and thought up the idea of using religion to wage his war of greed and lust.

    Almighty God, not the fake ‘god’ of islam, named the second son of Isaac Israel and gave him a land to possess. God had promised the land to Abraham and to “his seed,” which included Jacob who was renamed Israel, and to the offspring of that man.
    That is when Israel was “created.” Not when the U.K. or Britain, declared that the Jews would again have a land in which to live, work, and govern themselves.
    And this return to the land God had given, had no connections to the moslims flying planes into buildings in New York and Washington, D.C.

    But if the fools want to ask, they should just ask the question and not put if off on kids who don’t know the history of the Jews, Israel, the Bible ( a solid book of history and prophecy, commands and promises), and who don’t know the history of islam or its filthy tenets.

    And that is the point. Just as islam teaches deception and lies as a way to carry out the devil’s work, deception and lies are being used to corrupt the thinking of children who don’t know the Truth. Those who are using this, are hoping these children will grow up to be just like the moslim creep in Florida….murder others for islam and satan.

    Following mohammed’s death in 632 the new caliph abu bakr launched Islam into almost 1500 years of continual bloody conquest and subjugation of others through invasion and war.

    All of that was obviously a reaction to the creation of the state of Israel.

  9. Chand says

    Feb 23, 2020 at 12:50 am

    For argument’s sake and to enhance critical thinking in kids and counter Jihadist logic:

    It says “A long term cause” and not THE cause.

    The displaced and humiliated Arabs sought solace in some forms of resistance. Some followed Marxist-Arab nationalist groups, others the Jihadis.

    So Bin Laden explicitly stated, after 9/1, that one of the reasons for the attack was to respond to Israeli aggression.

    • tgusa says

      Feb 23, 2020 at 1:22 am

      Yes the jihadists will become enraged when land they thought was theirs is relinquished to any non islamic group or force. Above all, they really hate the Jew and Jews being there makes them even more enraged than usual, which is saying something.

    • elee says

      Feb 23, 2020 at 11:47 am

      Weak-ass argument, IMHO and all, Chand. After 1300 + years of inflicting slaughter rape and enslavement, oh and also displacement and humiliation, on peoples from Gibraltar to Mindanao, Muslims caught a tiny bit of their own medicine in the Holy Land. They should be displaced and humiliated right back to the Arabian desert and atone there for a long time.

    • gravenimage says

      Feb 23, 2020 at 8:55 pm

      Bin Laden also said that he attacked the United States because Americans has been in Saudi Arabia at their request to protect them from Saddam Hussein, and that the presence of Infidels in the “Kingdom of the Two Holy Places” had to be avenged.

      He also said that “the West in general and America in particular have an unspeakable hatred for Islam. … It is the hatred of crusaders”.

      And notice Chand’s claim that the local Muslims were “displaced and humiliated” (note that both their voluntary displacement and “humiliation” were because they were not able to wipe out the Jews) and that they “sought solace in some forms of resistance”–in other words, they continued to murder Jews. Really, Chand has always been a sickening apologist for Jihad terror.

  10. Stieve says

    Feb 23, 2020 at 1:30 am

    Explain how? Easy.

    Israel was created. Arabs attack and lose land.

    Years later restive muslims want to blow stuff up, and do so.

    Later, silly history book asks to equate the two, so wave hands, ignore the past, and voila. Blame Israel.

    A+ paper.

    One question we definitely WON’T be seeing in the “history” books anytime soon:

    “How could it be argued that the creation of Islam was a long-term cause of the 9/11 attacks…

    … the Armenian, Greek and Assyrian genocides…

    … and the general instability, violence, poverty and chaos in many parts of the world where Islam dominates?”
