CAL THOMAS SEPTEMBER 11, 2023
TODAY IS THE 22ND ANNIVERSARY OF THE DAY TERRORISTS HIJACKED THREE PLANES AND KILLED NEARLY THREE THOUSAND PEOPLE. WE MUST NEVER FORGET, BUT WE WILL. EVENTUALLY.
REMEMBER TODD BEAMER, WHO BRAVELY LED A GROUP OF PASSENGERS ON UNITED FLIGHT 93 AND CHARGED THE COCKPIT, STOPPING THE PLANE FROM REACHING ITS TARGET, WHICH WAS PROBABLY THE WHITE HOUSE?
EVIL ALWAYS EXISTS AROUND US AND IT STRIKES WHEN THOSE WHO EMBRACE IT BELIEVE WE ARE NOT PAYING ATTENTION, OR WEAK AND INDECISIVE. 9-11 LED TO OUR INVOLVEMENT IN AFGHANISTAN AND THE BIGGEST DEBACLE IN AMERICAN WARFARE WHEN PRESIDENT BIDEN IMMEDIATELY PULLED OUT OUR TROOPS AND LEFT MANY BEHIND FOR THE TALIBAN TO KILL.
COULD 9-11 BE REPEATED? YES. LOOK AT THE TERRORISTS WHO HAVE BEEN APPREHENDED AT OUR OPEN SOUTHERN BORDER AND IMAGINE HOW MANY HAVE GOTTEN AWAY. THESE PEOPLE BELIEVE THEIR GOD WANTS THEM TO KILL JEWS AND CHRISTIANS, ERADICATE ISRAEL AND PUT AMERICA UNDER ISLAMIC RULE. THEY SAY SO AND EVEN NOW THEY ARE LIKELY PLANNING ANOTHER ATTACK NO MATTER HOW MANY SHOES ARE TAKEN OFF AND BODIES X-RAYED AT AIRPORTS. REMEMBER 9-11. I’M CAL THOMAS.
You may want to use this occasion to highlight differences between various religions on the use of violence. How did Christians formulate the beliefs that shaped Western attitudes toward such? Incidentally the Epistle reading this week in the liturgical churches is Romans 13. How did other religions develop their attitudes that way?
