September 11, 2001. Remember, Repent and Return
Fifteen years ago, 19 evil Islamist terrorists hijacked four commercial airliners and massacred 2,977 men, women and children in New York City, New York, Washington, D.C. and Shanksville, Pennsylvania. At 8:46 A.M., ET, American Airlines flight 11, on its way from Boston to Los Angeles, crashed into the North Tower of the World Trade Center. At 9:03 A.M., ET, United Airlines Flight 175, also traveling from Boston to L.A., crashed into the South Tower. The shock rippled through the Nation like a tectonic plate shift.
Then, at 9:37 A.M., ET, American Airlines Flight 77, traveling from Dulles, Virginia to Los Angeles, California, flew right into the Pentagon Building. It was surreal. America was in collective shock. The command center of our military forces was struck by a hijacked commercial airliner, filled with passengers, turned into a missile. Minutes later, at 10:03, A.M, ET, United Airlines Flight 93, on its way from Newark, New Jersey to San Francisco, was, at least for a short time, diverted by the heroic action of passengers, and crashed into a field in Shanksville, Pennsylvania.
As the reports of those acts of war hit media sources, the visual images of the South and North Towers of the World Trade Center, a once-great center of commerce, collapsing in a pile of rubble and smoke, captured the collective eyes and heart of a Nation in utter shock. All of this occurred within 102 minutes. 102 minutes shook the United States of America to its core.
Osama Bin Laden, the diabolically motivated leader of that evil band of Islamists calling itself al-Qaeda, an arabic word meaning “the base,” admitted the heinous act of war. He gloated in its aftermath as if it were some kind of noble act! Fifteen years later, we still face the evil acts rooted in the ideology which fueled that organization. This ideology of darkness claiming to be light and murder masquerading as martyrdom has not been decimated, it is growing and spreading………………
