Seems like yesterday,Very sad day..

I still get choked up every time I remember this day. I was in my car on the way to work that morning and heard about it on the radio.

God bless those lost and their families now and always...

Remember it like it was yesterday. I remember driving down rt3 and seeing the towers on fire.

Oh boy does that grab at your heart. Still feel the pain!:( May God rest their souls and comfort the families of those who perished. Also the public servants and innocent on lookers who are still suffering the effect of inhaling that poisonous air.



Mega Mosque my big fat Italian ****!:mad: They should die a slow painful death and burn forever in hell, the extremists that is.

I know how you feel. They are trying to build an italian restaurant within a mile from my house. Screw them for trying to bring these italian mobster scum in my neighborhood.

On Sept. 11th, 2001, I just started my new job as a teacher. I had just moved into an apartment, and was only a few months out of college. I was at work, third period, when I heard from a friend that the twin towers had fallen. At the time, like many, I didn't know what happened, but heard a plane was involved. At the time, I didn't understand what was going on, thought, 'Oh my, that's terrible', and went about the day. As more unfolded and we found out, ti started to sink in. After work, the radios were all filled with news. I didn't have cable installed yet in my apartment, so I actually went to Walmart to buy an antennae. The TV's in Walmart were all on CNN, so that is the only actual footage I saw that day, because the antennae I bought didn't pick up anything. I still remember like 20 people standing in WalMart, staring at the TV, and many of them crying.

I was very pleased to have sung in the 1 year memorial concert that happened at a North Jersey park with the NYC skyline behind it. It was on PBS on Sept. 11th, 2002...there are a lot of stories about that, but I'm out of time for now.

Huh!?! I guess you didn't see my statement, "the extremists that is!" So you don't like Italians! Good for you!:rolleyes:

It was a joke (A bad one at that). It was implying that people who worship Islam aren't terrorists, just like being italian doesn't make you in the mob. Don't want to get too political here, but I'm shocked this has gotten as much publicity as it has. The constitution gives them every right to build a mosque there. And we be doing what the terrorists want if we forbid them from having one.

Anyways, I don't want to start a huge debate, so see ya

Good story. I think its an event that anyone who was cognizant at the time will remember where they were or what they were doing.

I was 21 and I had the day off that day. I remember walking out of my room and seeing my roommate who was a student at MSOE at the time standing there with his jaw open staring at our TV. He told me what was going on (it was after the first plane struck) then the second one struck while we were standing there.

His classes got cancelled because nobody knew what all was going on or what else might happen. We spent the rest of the day glued to the television like most did.

It is a good story. I had my first day off from work and was just rising from bed and clicked the TV on and was glued to the point where I was in my undies all day cause I didn't want miss what was going on.

The building of a Mosque on Ground Zero(the main landing gear of one of the birds that hit the WTC was recovered buried DEEPLY inside the 51 Park building, thus making the proposed mosque site a part of Ground ZERO) is nothing more than ISLAM assigning itself to this Nation's most hallowed ground and proclaiming THAT ground as their own. This tactic has been done throught history as Islam has always built it's holy sites on the very place their armies proclaim victory over conquered lands. They believe that Allah has chosen this site for the construction because he gave them a great victory over Satan on that very soil.

Would we have allowed the Japanese to EVER build a Bushido Shrine to the fallen Japanese pilots that struck Pearl Harbor to be built anywhere near the USS Arizona? The building of a mosque on THAT sight will be seen by the Muslim world as capitulation by the United States and as a memorial to the 19 hijackers that slaughtered 3000 American lives that horrific day... in other words, a surrender. Time to stop bowing to our enemies and apologizing for being the greatest Nation on EARTH!

It's not a shrine to the sky-jackers that slammed the planes into the towers. Your analogy really doesn't work.

Just because you're Muslim doesn't make you a terrorist. And just because you're Italian doesn't make you a mobster, most of the time anyway.

Just kidding, just kidding, really :D:):)

Just do a mapquest search of the mosques located in that area. Do they really need another one in that location? It seems they have plenty of mosques to visit in that area. There is one a few blocks from the location they want to build this new one.

I remember watching the people jumping out of the buldings to their deaths. The pictures Demiurge posted show the tragedy of that day in a very very real way. Build the damn mosque somewhere else if you have any respect for thos people in the pictures and the thousands of others that died that day as well as their families.

How much of the history of Islam do you know? My opinion is based in historical fact and from Islamic sources as to the motivations used for the building of a mosque. Just look at the Temple Mount in Israel, or to the countless christian cathedrals that have been converted to mosques in Eastern Europe and Turkey.

The final source comes from my Father-in Law. He is a devout and practicing muslim that has spent the past decade trying to understand why a muslim could do this. He will be among the protesters today outside 51 Park. He says that he cannot understand why Americans are so naive as to not see the truth about why this mosque is to be built. I tell him that 75% of us do, but sometimes a majority is not enough.

According to him, the enemy understands enough about our laws and our Constitution to use them against us until we admit our defeat.

I am out on this thread as I do not want to see rememberances turned to politcs. Please lets get back to the original intent of the thread.

wz2p7j

I know just enough about Islam to know that all Muslims are not terrorists. And I know enough about America to know they can probably build their stupid mosque wherever they darn well please.

I have nothing against Muslims. It's the damn terrorists I despise. I still think after 9-11 we should have gone into Tora Bora and nuked the entire site from orbit, it's the only way to be sure.

Back to our regularly scheduled program ....

Chris

nooshinjohn

I agree with you Chris. But when the guy that wants to build a mosque on THAT site is on record stating that America is to blame for 9-11 and not the terrorist, I think it is fair to call the effort to build it and those behind it into question about their motives.

For once, lets try to not have a contest as to who is the most stupid of CP members.

Interestingly, 9/11 has pretty much shaped many of my life choices, and those of my friends. I was in high school at the time and had a friend lose her mother in the Pentagon attack.

As for the mosque discussion, let's keep that out of this thread. Remembering and grieving the loss of 3000 innocent Americans shouldn't be overshadowed on this day.

Is it stupid now to remember a day we were attacked ? Or are you refering to the idea of building a Mosque at ground zero ?

God bless the Fireman and Police that ran towards the towers when everyone else was running away. True hero's.

Truely a sad day indeed.

Special thanks to the Armed Forces for keeping us safe afterwords.

hearingimpared

Wow the more I see of the clips and pictures the more I feel the anger and sadness I felt that day. I have been praying on and off all day for the victims and family of that barbaric attack. You know what, I've also prayed for the Muslim Terrorists that cooked up this scheme. Like the lesson of the Tower of Babel I also pray that God confounds our enemies in this so as they can't agree on things so they can't coordinate more horror and this war will stop.

We as American citizens have the right to do a lot of things granted by God, it says so in the Constitution. Having those rights also requires the responsibility to use common sense when making the decisions on actions so as not to hurt people (physically or mentally) or incite problems which may bring consequence down on other people.

Dave, thanks for posting all the pics & vids. It is bringing back the strength and resolve in me that has wavered as time went by since 9/11/2001 to try and do all I can to not let this happen again and remove the fear associated with it as that is what the Muslim Terrorists love to instill . . .fear!

There are many many more than 3000 who have died and are still dying as a direct result of that Muslim Terrorist attacks on the WTC.

youtube posted in post 23 ought not be titled "not for children". you're damn right it's for children to see. that way you don't pull the sheets over their eyes and blind them to what's really out there in the world. let's not teach our future generations to remain innocent prey. oblivious. and like those who post in post 13, that's the mentality that can get me and my family killed. can get our national safety, killed.
