Stop Hiding the September 11 Terrorist’s Motivation: ISLAM

“Allahu Akbar! Allahu Akbar! Allahu Akbar!” – Last words from the cockpit of hijacked Flight 93.
 
The Muslim terrorists who carried out the September 11, 2001, attacks were forthright in explaining and reiterating, at length, that both their inspirations and their aspirations were, first and foremost, done in the name of Allah and for the cause of Islam and Islamic law worldwide.
 
While many Western Muslims and their prominent left-wing sympathizers have pretended that Islam had nothing to do with the 9-11, the Muslim terrorist’s own words suggest otherwise.
 
Furthermore, despite mainstream claims that Osama bin Laden and those involved in the 9-11 attacks had little understanding of their own religion, they all attended mosques religiously and were educated highly versed in Islam. In addition, the terrorists quoted chapters and verses of Islamic scripture and made many made martyrdom videos also quoting their Islamic motivations and aspirations.
 
Below are the statements by the Islamic terrorists who planned and carried out September 11, 2001, attacks the claimed the lives of thousands of innocent Americans. While the west refuses to name our enemy, the terrorists clearly credit their motivation, actions, and success to their religion.
 
September 11th Attacks – Islamic Motives Revealed
 
9-11 Terrorists “Martyrdom Videos”
 
Ahmed al-Haznawi
 
After the attacks, a video of 9-11 terrorist Ahmed al-Haznawi revealed his commitment to carrying out an Islamic suicide operation. Al-Haznawiwas was on Flight 93, which crashed in rural Pennsylvania.
 
The videotape titled “The Wills of the New York and Washington Battle Martyrs” was aired on Al Jazeera on April 16, 2002. The video shows for the first time that the hijackers knew they were on a suicide mission.
 
Al-Haznawi is shown dressed in fatigues with an image of the World Trade Center in flames in the background. “Lord, I regard myself as a martyr for you, so accept me as such,” he is heard to say.
 



 
“The time of humiliation and enslavement is over, and the time has come to kill the Americans on their own turf.”

We killed them outside their land, praise be to Allah. Today, we kill them in the midst of their own home.
 
O Allah, revive an entire nation by our deaths. O Allah, I sacrifice myself for your sake, accept me as a martyr. O Allah, I sacrifice myself for your sake, accept me as a martyr. O Allah, I sacrifice myself for your sake, accept me as a martyr.
 
To the Garden of Eden, our first house. We shall meet in the eternal Paradise with the prophets, honest people, martyrs, and righteous people. They are the best of companions. Praise be to Allah. Allah’s peace, mercy, and blessings be upon you.”

 

Abdulaziz al-Omari 
 
In the autumn of 2001, after the September 11 attacks, al Jazeera television also broadcasted a video made by Abdulaziz Omari. The terrorist was one of the hijackers aboard American Airlines Flight 11, which flew into the north tower of the World Trade Center. He also made a farewell suicide video. In it, he stated:

I am writing this with my full conscience and I am writing this in expectation of the end, which is near. . . Allah praise everybody who trained and helped me, namely the leader Sheikh Osama bin Laden. May Allah bless him. May Allah accept our deeds

The Islamic terrorist warned, “We will get you. We will humiliate you. We will never stop following you,”
 
An image of the gutted Pentagon was superimposed behind Alomari’s shoulder as he spoke — an indication al Qaeda had made the video after the attacks.
 

Saeed al-Ghamdi
 
Saeed al-Ghamidi was one of four hijackers of United Airlines Flight 93 as part of the September 11 attacks.
 
In March 2001, al-Ghamdi was filmed in a farewell video that was later aired on al-Jazeera. Al-Ghamdi referred to America as “the enemy” and is seen studying maps and flight manuals. The tape was broadcast on Al Jeezera a day after the second anniversary of the 9/11 attacks.
 
Saeed al-Ghamidi read his will and declared it was a Muslim duty to fight the “American enemy.”

“America is the enemy that every Muslim should fight. There is no way the Arab nation can be saved except through jihad”

He vowed that the Mujahidin would stage attacks against US interests.
 
The tape also included a brief audio speech by Osama bin Ladin paying tribute to “the martyr Said al-Ghamidi.”

Osama bin Laden
 
Al Jazeera also aired a brief clip of Bin Laden squatting beside his top deputy, Ayman al-Zawahri, as al-Zawahri praised the actions of the 19 Muslim suicide bombers who carried through the attacks on America.
 
“When you talk about the invasion of New York and Washington, you talk about the men who changed the face of history and went against the traitors,” bin Laden said on the tape. “These great men have consolidated faith in the hearts of believers and undermined the plans of the crusaders and their agents in the region.”
 
“Those 19 brothers who went out and worked and sacrificed their lives for Allah, Allah granted this conquest that we enjoy today,” he said.
 

The film showed bin Laden meeting with some of the others involved in planning the attacks.
 
Still photographs of the four teams of hijackers were shown in the video, against a background of Koranic chanting. All of the terrorists were wearing turbans and full Islamic beards, in contrast to their clean-shaven looks on the day of the attacks. They could be seen in the video reviewing flight manuals in Kandahar, Afghanistan.

Osama bin Laden after 9/11 brags about his Islamic motives
 
On December 13, 2001, Osama bin Laden recorded a video in which he and a sheikh extol the 9/11 attacks. Bin Laden wants everyone to utter the first of the five pillars of Islam, a confession of faith that is the first step in accepting the “true religion,” the one for which he is fighting.
 

 

I was ordered to fight the people until they say there is no Allah but Allah, and his prophet Muhammad.

Osama bin Laden also bragged in the video recording about the 9/11 attacks and how many people came to Islam because of them:

Some of them said that in Holland, at one of the centers, the number of people who accepted Islam during the days that followed the operations were more than the people who accepted Islam in the last eleven years. I heard someone on Islamic radio who owns a school in America say: “We don’t have time to keep up with the demands of those who are asking about Islamic books to learn about Islam.” This event made people think (about true Islam) which benefited Islam greatly.

The Pentagon released a portion of the video of Osama bin Laden talking about the Islamic terrorist attacks. See full transcript here.
 
Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, 9/11 mastermind
 
Khalid Sheikh Mohammed and four others accused in the 9-11 attacks called U.S. allegations “badges of honor” and declared themselves “terrorists to the bone” in a written statement for public release:

With regards to these nine accusations that you are putting us on trial for; to us, they are not accusations. To us they are badges of honor, which we carry with pride. Many thanks to Allah, for his kind gesture, and choosing us to perform the act of Jihad for his cause and to defend Islam and Muslims. Therefore, killing you and fighting you, destroying you and terrorizing you, responding back to your attacks, are all considered to be great legitimate duty in our religion. These actions are our offerings to Allah.
 
These actions are our offerings to Allah. In Allah’s book, he ordered us to fight you everywhere we find you… Our religion is a religion of fear and terror to the enemies of Allah: the Jews, Christians, and pagans. With Allah’s willing, we are terrorists to the bone.

 

Written religious Instruction to the hijackers
 
Investigators recovered three copies of the same letter belonging to suspected terrorists aboard three of the four airplanes hijacked during the September 11 Islamic attacks. Below are some of the written instructions to the hijackers:

Be cheerful, for you have only moments between you and your eternity, after which a happy and satisfying life begins…
 
Remember: it is a raid for the sake of Allah. Recite the prayer.  As you take the seat, recite the prayer. Mention Allah a lot.  When the hijacking begins, “Shout Allah is great because this shout strikes terrors in the hearts of the infidels
 
And the moment of death should be accompanied by the basic statement of belief recited by all Muslims at the call to prayer.  Seconds before the target, your last words should be, ‘there is no Allah but Allah. Mohammed is his messenger!.”

Ayman al-Zawahiri, al-Qaeda’s Number Two, Praises Islamic Attackers

 

Those 19 brothers who left us made efforts and offered their lives for the cause of Allah. Allah has favored them with this conquest, which we are enjoying now”

 

Last words from the cockpit of Flight 93
The cockpit recording captured the terrorists in the cockpit of flight 93. At one point, a hijacker was heard to say: “In the name of Allah, most merciful, most compassionate.”
 
At 10:03 am the plane dived amid crashing sounds. The last sound heard as the plane neared the ground was the voice of a hijacker: “Allahu akbar.” “Allahu akbar. Allahu akbar. Allahu akbar. Allahu akbar. Allahu akbar. Allahu akbar.”
