@LaneWyn92131@Crusader_1980 I was saying the same thing! It’s either shock or disbelief but man at least punch him in the back of the head with something!!
I reread this every year.
I cry like a baby every year.
Todd Beamer died a father, husband, and hero.
Todd: Hello… Operator… listen to me. I can’t speak very loud. This is an emergency. I’m a passenger on a United flight to San Francisco. Our plane has been hijacked.
Lisa: I understand. Can they see you?
Todd: No. There are three that we know of. They have knives — razor knives, like box cutters. Someone announced from the cockpit there was a bomb. It sounded fake.
Lisa: Your name?Todd: Todd Beamer. United Flight 93.Todd: They killed one passenger in first class. They forced most of us back. Fourteen of us here. Five flight attendants. The guy with the bomb ordered us to sit on the floor.
Lisa: Are you okay?
Todd: We’re going down… wait. No. We’re leveling off. We changed directions. We’re flying east again.
Todd: A guy named Jeremy called his wife. She told him two planes hit the World Trade Center. Lisa, is that true?
Lisa: I have to tell you the truth. It’s very bad. Both towers are gone. A third plane hit the Pentagon. Our country is under attack. I’m afraid your plane may be part of their plan.
Todd: Oh God. Lisa, will you do something for me? Call my wife and my kids. Promise me you’ll call.
Lisa: I promise.
Todd: Our home number is… You have the same name as my wife. Lisa. We’ve been married ten years. She’s pregnant with our third child. Tell her I love her. I’ll always love her. We have two boys — David, he’s 3, and Andrew, he’s 1. Tell them their daddy loves them and he is so proud of them. The baby is due January 12th. I saw an ultrasound. We still don’t know if it’s a girl or a boy.
Lisa: I’ll tell them. I promise, Todd.(Lisa patches in the FBI.)
Agent: Todd, your plane is on a course for Washington. Best guess is the White House or the Capitol.
Todd: I understand. I’ll be back.
Todd: Everyone knows this isn’t a normal hijacking. We have decided we will not be pawns in their plot.
Lisa: What are you going to do?
Todd: Four of us are going to rush the one with the bomb. Then the cockpit. A stewardess is getting boiling water. We’ll take them out.
Todd: Would you pray with me?They pray the Lord’s Prayer. Then: Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for thou art with me.
Todd: God help me. Jesus help me.Are you guys ready? Let’s Roll.
We live in a very strange world. Our country is viciously attacked in the name of Islam and Islamic people around the globe celebrate at the time. Since the 9/11 attack there have been over a hundred attacks by Islamic fanatics killing hundreds of innocent people. Yet the victims are asked to be understanding. When we suggest that maybe we need to blame the attackers and not the victims, we are accused of being Islamophobic. A phobia is an irrational fear but there is nothing irrational about fearing people who keep attacking us.

“Muslim Panel Gets Shut Down After Ex-Muslim Exposes the “Ugly Truth” About Islam”
Ex-Muslim : Sit for one second. I'm going to say this, and I promise you, I'm going to be done.
Muslims don't have a faith. Let me explain to you.
If you are any intelligent person that understands history and understands religious studies, you will see how many holes are in the narrative.
When you take the text and look at it, you will see that there's no way this can be from God.
You can't be a prophet and marry a six-year-old. If you are the prophet for all times, then your actions should apply for all times.
Ex-Muslim: Let me tell you something. For people of color, Black people, Islam is not for us. no.
According to them, Black people cannot go to heaven.
One of Muhammad's slaves the slaves he loved to trade were Black people.
Ex-Muslim: Most Muslims don't even know their faith.
I grew up in it. I grew up around it. Some of my good friends were Muslims.
They are so strongly indoctrinated that it is not about what the book says.
Right now, I've been posting this because of some things that I've seen coming.
You don't understand what is happening right before you.
You cannot fight an ideology with prayer. You fight it with an ideology.
Ex-Muslim: If you see a Muslim telling you there is radical Islam, it's a lie.
It's not radical Islam. Islam is just radical.
@JakeTbird I hope you included the PARENTS!! You’re there to TEACH! Not put thoughts about gender in little boys and girls, who should be kids learning ABC’s and 123’s.
“Mehdi Hasan Claims Islam Is Peaceful - Then This British politician has A BRUTAL Response”
Speaker: My side of the argument is regularly told that we are demonising Islam and whipping up fear of Islam.
But let me tell you what actually whips up fears of Islam.
9/11. The London bombings. Madrid. Mumbai. Bali. Death for apostasy. Death for blasphemy. Death for adultery. Death for homosexuality. Gender discrimination. Child marriage. Beheadings. Imprisonment for being raped.
The murder of Theo van Gogh. Death threats. Sharia patrols. Polygamous marriages.
This is what causes fear of Islam. It is not me.
We'll be told this is just the extreme fringe of Islam.
Well, look at Saudi Arabia the birthplace of Islam and custodian of its holy sites.
People are executed for blasphemy and apostasy.
But apparently, that's the extreme fringe?
Calling Saudi Arabia the extreme fringe of Islam is like calling the Vatican the extreme fringe of Catholicism. Sorry, it just doesn't work.
Then we're told violent Muslims have misunderstood Islam.
Saudi Arabia has misunderstood. Iran has misunderstood. Yemen has misunderstood.
Has there ever been a more spectacularly misunderstood religion than Islam?
I'm constantly told that I need to respect Islam. But I'm under no greater obligation to respect Islam than any other belief.
I am under no obligation to make compromises with an ideology I simply don't see as peaceful.
Why don't I see it as peaceful? Because of the evidence.
If I look around the world and see the countries where Islam calls the shots, all I see is brutality and violence imposed by the state.
