The attacks of September 11th in New York City<\/a>, Washington, and Pennsylvania<\/a> happened almost 13 years ago. There are many people in America<\/a> under the age of 20 that have only vague memories of those attacks. We need to make sure we tell them the truth about the attacks. It would behoove us to realize that the people who initiated those attacks are still at war with us, even if we are no longer at war with them.<\/p>\n

Well, the Council on American-Islamic Relations<\/a> (CAIR) is hoping that as we remember those attacks in the museum that will open shortly at the site of the New York City attacks, we will forget what caused them.<\/p>\n

CNS News<\/a> posted an article today about the efforts of CAIR to urge organizers of the museum to edit a video presentation on al-Qaeda, to remove terms such as \u201cIslamist<\/a> extremism\u201d and \u201cjihadism.\u201d That is the equivalent of removing the word Nazi from World War II<\/a> history books about Germany.<\/p>\n

The article reports:<\/p>\n

CAIR said in a statement that the use in the video of terms like \u201cIslamist extremism\u201d and \u201cjihadism\u201d \u2013 and the \u201cgeneralizing\u201d way in which they are used \u2013 \u201cconflate Islam and terrorism<\/a> and carry the risk of misinforming museum visitors, particularly those unfamiliar with Islam<\/a>.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cAfter repeated requests to correct misrepresentations, the film ignorantly implies a religion, rather than a group of criminals, was to blame for the September 11 attacks<\/a>,\u201d said CAIR-NY<\/a> board member Zead Ramadan. \u201cInstead of unifying all Americans against evil-doers, this film continues to offensively cast suspicion on faith rather address the terrorist act.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

Note to CAIR: the people who hijacked the planes shouted, “allahu akbar.” That is not the shout of dedicated Methodists.<\/p>\n

The hijackings of 911 were done in the\u00a0 name of allah. The Koran encourages this sort of activity. Rewriting history does not change the facts, just as acting as if we are not at war with radical Islam does not change the fact that they are at war with us.<\/p>\n
