9/11 2019- Never Ever Forget

Hard to believe it's been 18 years since we were viciously attacked by Islamist terrorists on September 11, 2001. Almost 3,000 people were mercilessly killed on that day, and that's not counting all those first responders and civilians who have since died- and will die in the future- from 9/11 related injuries and diseases from toxins and dust at Ground Zero. That accounts for another 1,400 or so people to date. That's a hell of a lot of people. Murdered in cold blood.

It's estimated around 200 people fell or jumped to their deaths. I cannot even fathom what they must have been going through at the time when they had to make the decision to either jump or burn to death.  Horrifying.

In 2015 news.com.au published 30 photos from 9/11 as a reminder of why we must never forget September 11.

Hostage Video Links Sydney Terrorist To Islamic State

Here's a video of several of the alleged Aussie Cafe Lindt hostages sharing the demands of Sheikh Man Haron Monis:  They claimed all he wanted was an ISIS flag, a phone call from Prime Minister Tony Abbott on live media, and that all media outlets should be informed that "this is an attack on Australia by the Islamic State."  The video is similar to the Islamic State propaganda videos of John Cantlie, the journalist being held hostage in Syria, slamming the U.K. government for not giving in to the demands of the terrorists.

Here's some background info on Monis. And here. 

So the man was very unstable, but he still carried out the attack in the name of religion, and wanted his affiliation to ISIS known. Exactly what ISIS has been calling for.

With his checkered, anti-Australia, violent background, why was he not deported back to Iran years ago?
