2016- Fifteen Years Since 9/11- Never Forget

Hard to believe it has been 15 years since that horrific day- September 11, 2001- when a bunch of Muslim extremists started what has become an escalating violent battle against Western civilization. 

Since then, Al-Qaeda has splintered, the Islamic State (ISIS) has now taken center stage, and they all have a common goal- they want Islam to dominate the world, and will mercilessly kill anyone to accomplish that goal. 

Since then, we've had 15 more years of violence. Thousands upon thousands of people have been massacred by the evil scourge of the world. And all I know is that I am sick of the slaughter. However, I also realize it will not end, at least not any time soon, and probably not in my lifetime.  

And the threats continue:

Al-Qaeda chief Ayman al-Zawahiri threatened the US that the September 11, 2001 attacks will be repeated "thousands of times", in a video marking the 15th anniversary of the deadly assault.

Addressing the United States in a video message posted Thursday on YouTube, Zawahiri blamed 9/11 on "your crimes against us".

This is why we must never forget. Since 2001, it's happened in Europe and elsewhere, perhaps not on the scale of our 9/11, but don't think it can't happen again. Here. This is why our porous borders need to be secured. This is why Muslim immigrants and tourists need to be vetted. They did it with people from Communist countries during the Cold War, it needs to be done now.

Homeland Security has posted a series of publications and documents from the 9/11 attack.

No Music At Weddings- Al-Qaeda In Syria Raids Wedding Party

The Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL)- those lovely al-Qaeda types in control of areas of Syria  fighting to establish an Islamic state over there- are continuing to flex their muscles.  Since they believe that music is haram (forbidden) in Islam, they allegedly raided a wedding party somewhere in the outskirts of Aleppo and forced the band to stop playing.

“One leader of the Islamic State warned residents that if a music band is invited to a wedding again, the person responsible will be arrested because this is immoral,” the newspaper reported, citing an internet page of the Syrian Revolution in Menbej.

The al-Qaeda leader reportedly asked the man in charge of the wedding to memorize a verse of the Quran and attend several religious courses at al-Qaeda’s center in Maskana, near Aleppo.

But here's an interesting twist: Some think that what the al-Qaeda extremist groups are doing is just fueling anti-rebel sentiment, and playing into the hands of the Syrian government, so much so that even Ayman al-Zawahiri (head honcho of al-Qaeda) has told ISIL to disband immediately and let al-Nusra Front represent al-Qaeda in Syria. ISIL is the Syrian faction of the Islamic State in Iraq.  ISI will remain intact, according to Zawahiri.

Wife of Al-Qaeda's Zawahiri Urges Muslim Women To Raise Their Kids For Jihad and Death-

Egyptian butcher physician Ayman al-Zawahiri, al-Qaeda's current head honcho, had one of his four wives (Umaima Hassan) make an on line appeal to the Muslim women of the world: birth them babies, mamas, so we can have an endless supply of suicide bombers.

But first of all Umaima commended them for their participation in the Arab Spring. Sure, why not congratulate them, after all the Arab Spring paved the way for an Islamist resurgence, right up al-Qaeda's alley.

"I congratulate all females of the world for these blessed revolutions and I salute every mother who sacrificed her loved ones in the revolutions. It is really an Arab Spring and will soon become an Islamic Spring."

Then comes the recommendation to raise those kids as shahids (martyrs):

"I advise you to raise your children in the cult of jihad and martyrdom and to instil in them a love for religion and death. Each woman would raise her child to be a new Saladin (a 12th century Kurdish general who defeated the Crusaders in battle) by telling him 'it is you who will restore the grandeur of the Islamic nation and you will liberate Jerusalem."

I'm glad she admits it's a cult. 

Oh, and don't forget those veils:

"The veil is the Muslim woman's identity and the West wants to remove this identity so she will be without an identity."

Zawahiri, who was second in command, took over al-Qaeda's leadership after Osama Bin Laden was dispatched to meet his maker.  I wonder if he's used any of his own kids as suicide bombers.

Imagine raising your children to love death, and inspiring them to murder others- all in the name of religion.

What a sick, perverse form of child abuse.

It's not Umaima's first appeal. Back in 2009 she was recruiting women to fight. I guess they're  more valuable as breeding machines.

Jihad A Family Affair- Wife of al Qaida's #2 Henchman Calls On Women To Join Jihad

How heart-warming, Jihad is becoming a family affair. Al Qaida has been recruiting men and their male children, and now their wives are being called into action by none other than the wife of Osama Bin Laden's number 2 henchman, Ayman al-Zawahiri. So now, instead of being asked to stand by their men by giving birth to and raising Jihadi babies and donating money, the women are being asked to join in the fun. Although unverified, Umaima Hassan posted her message on the internet- apparently the first time an al Qaida wife has encouraged others to fight and/or blow themselves up- telling women it was an "obligation" to fight. She did add that it would challenging since

"Fighting is not easy for women, because she needs a male guardian at her side."

I guess making it a family project would deal with that issue quite well.

NBC News counterterrorism analyst, Evan Kohlmann, said Umaima

wrote specifically of "martyrdom" and "how many sisters carried out a martyrdom operation in Palestine, Iraq and Chechnya, and caused the enemy high costs and caused the enemy a big defeat. We ask from Allah to accept them and connect us with them with goodness."

Kohlmann seems to think there might be a shortage of jihadi fighting machines, hence the call for female participation. My question is, if women go off to fight, who is going to raise the next generation of jihadis? Not that I care. Maybe Umaima and the whole family (along with all her friends and relatives) will strap on bombs and get blown up together. That would solve the al Qaida problem quite nicely.

"Umaima? Yo Mama!"
