9/11/2001: From Your Lips to God's Ears

It is 6 am, September 11, 2011...10 years after Islam's assault on New York City, our Pentagon and gratefully, thanks to the heroes on flight 93, that crashed into a Pennsylvania field, nothing else.  Those heroes, more than likely, prevented a fourth strike into either the nation's capitol building or even the white house.

America and the world was assaulted by 21 cowardly terrorists, 19 of which were Saudi Arabian...all of which were Islamic.  America displayed the best of what she can be that day and for quite a while afterward as we tried to piece together just exactly what happened on that infamous date.  We came together, we prayed and we cried...man, did we cry.

Very many people, 10 years later, want to forget and forgive.  Generally, American hearts and spirits stand ready to forgive and yet...without repentance and a willingness to forgive others themselves...there is no forgiveness for Islam...nor can there be and indeed, nor should there be.

Many will remember when a crown prince from Saudi Arabia offered millions of dollars to Mayor Giuliani and New York City and New York City's mayor at that time, to his credit, told the Saudis that they could put that blood money in a really dark place, in which the sun does not shine.  We were proud of Rudy that day and today.

America lost thousands of citizens that day, at the Pentagon, in the World Trade Center buildings knocked down and on all four of those airplanes that Muslims brought down that fateful day.  To their families, to their friends and other loved ones, America offers sincere condolences and for your continued strength in the face of your losses, we offer 'fervent' prayers to our Judeo-Christian God, the God of Abraham, of his son Isaac and his grandson, Jacob...  There is no distance in prayer...from your lips to God's ears...if that distance was from 'Ground Zero' to God's ears or if that distance is from the lips of those still fighting Islamic terrorists in Afghanistan, still in Iraq and many others places including our homeland...the distance is the same.

We must never forget September 11, 2001 and we will not.  Today in New York City, memorial services will be on going less first responders and less anyone willing to bend a knee to that aforementioned God who are not invited to attend today.  Politicians, including the new, New York City mayor, Michael Bloomberg, with his many middle eastern financial arrangements, would prefer, I believe, that this date did not fall on their watch precisely because they do not know how to respond.

Today, in churches and synagogues across America and  the world...real Americans will be offering up real prayers to a real God...we will have far more than just 'two in agreement' in our prayers and with God, that constitutes a quorum and He will hear our prayers.

Sadly, 10 years later, our Islamic enemies are unrepentant and quite willing to attack us anywhere and anytime they can...and even more sadly, our political leaders and others would prefer that we stand shoulder to shoulder, not only with each other but also with Imams and other representatives of a murderous, cult of delusion, pretending that we can all simply 'get along'.  Islam has it's own word for the attitude displayed by the likes of Michael Bloomberg...that word is dhimmitude...a surrender to Islam in spirit.

As a Marine, ('64-'73), I remember 9/11/2001....but I also remember the Marine barracks in Beirut, Lebanon so many years before that.  Sadly, this list can be added to, the Cole, the first assaults on our World Trade Center by that blind shiek...and so many others places around the world where freedom loving people are still being murdered today.  Christians in places like Egypt and black Africans in Libya are under continuous assault today, by so-called freedom fighters, members of the Muslim Brotherhood, who have no clue what freedom is.

Political America may wish to sleep on today....I do not....you do not and so we pray to Adonai, the God of our brothers and sisters in peace and as we pray...remember in your vigilance that "Vengeance' is the province of God and "He will repay".  All I can ask my fellow Americans and patriots is that we never forget 9/11/2001 and learn a lesson of that day...a lesson of Islam as this culminates in only one way....in that valley, on that day, outside of Jerusalem.

God bless America!  Pray America...there is no distance in prayer.
