September 11

How far can Name-Calling Take a City? (And nation)

Today we remember 9/11, the day that the US came under attack in the name of Islam.  Thousands died in the attack, and today people are still dying from the attack because of the debris and lung inhalation.

And yet now we have a mayor of NYC who supports Islamic ideology.

How?  Why?  Because people ran to their defense post 9/11.  Do you not remember when it all happened, people said that “Islam has been hijacked.”

Muslims feared for their lives.  That was the bad part.  Many Muslims are good, wonderful people.  They wouldn’t harm a flea.  They were wrong to be attacked.

But Islam as an ideology is another story.  It is not peaceful. Don’t believe the lies.

Why did it all happen on September 11?  There are reasons for this.  Consider history.

Islam had ransacked all of Europe.  Islamic crusades were unending for hundreds of years.  When did it stop?  The advance stopped finally in Austria in Sept 11/12 in 1683.

Then there’s this martyrs verse of the Quran.  Quran chapter 9 verse 111:

“Allah has indeed purchased from the believers their lives and wealth in exchange for Paradise. They fight in the cause of Allah and kill or are killed. This is a true promise binding on Him in the Torah, the Gospel, and the Quran. And whose promise is truer than Allah’s? So rejoice in the exchange you have made with Him. That is ˹truly˺ the ultimate triumph” (Quran 9:111).

It’s the martyrs guarantee that Allah is pleased when they give their lives in Allah’s cause.  That and the hadith says they will get 72 virgins in paradise, and will make intercession for 70 of their family members into Paradise.

But Muslims who may read this…have you also read this one?  That you will be green birds swinging from the chandeliers?  So maybe the 72 virgins are green bird virgins?  Or how does that work?

It has been narrated on the authority of Masruq Who said:

We asked ‘Abdullah about the Qur’anic verse:” Think not of those who are slain in Allah’s way as dead. Nay, they are alive, finding their sustenance in the presence of their Lord..” (iii. 169). He said: We asked the meaning of the verse (from the Holy Prophet) who said: The souls, of the martyrs live in the bodies of green birds who have their nests in chandeliers hung from the throne of the Almighty. They eat the fruits of Paradise from wherever they like and then nestle in these chandeliers. Once their Lord cast a glance at them and said: Do ye want anything? They said: What more shall we desire? We eat the fruit of Paradise from wherever we like. Their Lord asked them the same question thrice. When they saw that they will continue to be asked and not left (without answering the question). they said: O Lord, we wish that Thou mayest return our souls to our bodies so that we may be slain in Thy way once again. When He (Allah) saw that they had no need, they were left (to their joy in heaven)” ( Sahih Muslim 1887).

Islam is coming in like a flood, much like the flood wall we see that was in Nepal.  We don’t fight the people, we do fight against the ideology and “demolish every argument that sets itself up against the knowledge of God’ (2 Cor 10:5).
In the meantime, we remember the horror of that day.  It was so bad that people were throwing themselves off the building.  Those people would never have thought that today, they would willingly jump out of a window.
But heroes arose that day.  Many.  Here are some:
