Today is the 12th year to the day of the attack
on America by Islamic terrorists. That day is etched in the minds of most
Americans, and almost everyone can tell you where they were, and how they felt
that day. Most of us (including me) knew somebody who was a victim of the
attack. We spend this day remembering the people who died and the people that heroically
saved countless others from death.
But where are the reminders? The national media is very
reluctant to show the towers on that day as they were struck and later crumbled
to the ground. Every time I see those towers get struck by the planes and every
time I see the towers crumble I am reminded of the importance of never
forgetting there are still terrorists out there determined to kill us. Islamic
terrorists hate what America stands for and would like nothing more than
repeating the kind of attack that happened on 9/11/2001.
Why do we rarely see the images of this day? Why if they do
show the footage is it done so rarely? It should be played over and over as a
reminder of why we remember. Islam is a danger to this country and it is
politically incorrect to say so. But every American knows that it is Islam that
is at the root of the evil that happened that day. It is not a small radical
sect of Islam, but rather a very large and organized group as seen in every
Middle Eastern country currently in flames. Until Islam goes through a
reformation or the people who defend Islam as a religion of “peace” speak out and
condemn these terrorists, then Americans will remain suspicious and on guard
against Islam.
In order to remember, remind, and survive, we must embrace
the truth of the matter, view the images, and call the perpetrators for who
they are and represent. That is the only way our future can be secured. We can’t
put our heads in the sand on what this religion professes to accomplish. Sharia
law and Islam are not compatible with a constitutional republic. That is a fact
the way the religion is currently practiced.
Today we honor our fallen and our heroes. Today we remind
our fellow Americans about who and why this was done to us. Today we remember
to stay diligent and honest about what we need to do to remain free and keep
our enemies at bay. Today we profess the truth in honor of those who were taken
so brutally from us for simply being American…
