Many people were not alive when 9/11 happened and they do not understand why the attack happened. In addition, the Muslim apologists and liberals have misled America as to why we were attacked on 9/11. It is important we know the truth, so this never happens again.
It is important to remember and memorialize the lives of those who perished in this jihadi Islamic attack on our Nation. I’m going to give you some numbers. I want you to think about them because they matter. First number I want to give you is 318.
That number’s significant because on the same date, September 11th, three hundred and eighteen years before, the Muslims were fighting to destroy Western Civilization. At the gates of Vienna on September 11th, 1683, Muslims were soundly defeated. 9/11 was date of defeat for 318 years to the Muslim and they changed history by bring the date 9/11 into a victory for Islam.
Another number is 19. It was Nineteen Al Qaeda hijackers, Islamic jihadis, who were doing Allah’s work to kill infidels and to gain their reward of heaven and 72 virgins, dying as shaheeds (martyrs).
Next is 24. That was the average age of these Islamic jihadi attackers. Young adults, just twenty-four years old, was the average age of the 19 shaheeds.
Another number is 87 innocent souls were on board American Airlines Flight 11, in addition to the five Muslim terrorists that took that plane and deliberately flew it into the north side of Tower One of the World Trade Center, killing many others.
Another number I want to give you is 60. Airlines Flight 175 from Boston was hijacked by five Jihadi’s who flew that plane like a missile into the South Tower murdering sixty innocents who were on board.
Another number I want you to remember 17 minutes after Tower 1 was hit, American Airlines Flight 175 struck the South Tower on live TV, confirming to the world that we were under attack.
59 is our next number. Fifty-nine passengers and crew were on board American Airways Flight 77, which departed from Dulles Airport with five other jihadi terrorists on board.
Another number I want to give you, 184. That flight ended prematurely 35 minutes later, killing 184 soldiers as it crashed into the Pentagon at 9:37 AM along with everyone onboard Flight 77.
Another number I want to give you, 40. Forty innocent souls died when heroic passengers tried but failed to take back the aircraft from the terrorist on United Airlines 93. And as that flight tragically crashed in central Pennsylvania, their brave actions averted an attack on America’s presidential house. Forty heroes on that flight who tried to take back the plane from Four Islamic jihadi terrorists.
Another number is 102. One hundred and two minutes after flight 11 ripped into the North tower, it began to collapse.
56 is another number I want to give you. It only took 56 minutes after American flight 175 hit the South tower, it collapsed.
Another number I want to give you is 414. Brave first responders ran to the place of crisis at the World Trade Center, and Four hundred and fourteen of them lost their lives trying to save the lives of others. 343 of them were firemen. 71 of them were New York City’s finest, policemen.
Another number 2,182. Just let that number sink in. Two thousand, one hundred and eighty-two Civilians perished in the New York City attacks.
12. For twelve days the fires burned at Ground Zero.
Only 20. Twenty survivors were rescued amidst the twisted metal and rubble that was left at Ground Zero after that attack. Thankfully 20 lives were saved.
Another number I want to give you is 24. Twenty-four tons of steel from Ground Zero were recycled, donated to the US Navy, which was used in the construction of the USS New York. A fighting vessel for America that also serves as a memorial of America’s darkest day.
Another number I want to give you is 2,000. Two thousand cars and trucks, personal vehicles were lost in the parking garages at the World Trade Center.
Another number is 1.8. 1.8 million tons of debris were removed from Ground Zero.
Another number I want to give you is 3,519. It took 3,519 days to capture and eliminate Osama bin Laden, the mastermind who crafted the attack on America on 9/11. SEAL Team 6 led a stealth attack on his residence in Abbottabad, Pakistan and successfully terminated their target 3,519 days after the attack on 9/11.
Another number I want to give you is regrettably 241. Two hundred and forty-one New York Police Officers died from illnesses derived from the attack. Since the attack, over 5,000 people have developed 9/11 related illnesses. We all saw the dust and debris that turned into cancer for many, along with other respiratory related disease.
The destruction still goes on. Another is number is 22. Twenty-two firemen have died from 9/11 related diseases.
The next number is 120. One hundred and twenty months after the attack, the 9/11 memorial at Ground Zero was officially opened, ten years later.
Don’t forget this number, 122 months after the attack of 9/11, Obama’s FBI Director, Robert Mueller, and Homeland Security Advisor, John Brennan, ordered the purging of any offensive Islamic terms from the training manuals for the military, the intelligence communities and law enforcement communities. They whitewashed the record and removed anything that would identify Islam in the 9/11 attack. Ten years and two months after the attack, our government, the Obama administration, willfully altered official records to protect the image of Islam.
Another number, 900. Nine hundred training documents were removed from the military, intelligence community and law enforcement, in the effort to deceive America from the truth and protect the public image of Islam.
126 is another number I want you to remember. 126 times the term jihad was found in the original 9/11 report. Today, if you look at that report, you’ll find the term jihad Zero times. It’s been removed. It’s been scrubbed.
The attempt to erase the crime of Islam is not only an insult to the lives that have perished on 9/11. It is a crime by aiding and abetting the enemy. It puts America in greater danger by concealing the truth and removing the facts about the destructive nature of Islam.
Knowledge is power! To be informed is to be forewarned. To be forewarned is to be forearmed. Being forearmed will keep America Safe. Had we known what Al-Qaeda was planning, we would have stopped 9/11 from ever happening and spared America from this awful event.
