Attorney and free speech advocate Deborah Weiss was across the street from the World Trade Center in Manhattan on September 11, 2001, when Al Qaeda terrorists attacked the center with hijacked airliners. She has worked for the Congressional Committee on House Oversight and national security think tanks, where her numerous publications include the monograph The Organization of Islamic Cooperation’s Jihad on Free Speech. Weiss joined Conservative Casual Friday host Andrew E. Harrod to describe in gripping terms what she experienced as a 9/11 survivor and how its legacy affected her life and America, among other matters.

This sort of research by Deborah Weiss will ruin the Leftist narrative of a benign Islam.
The Organization of the Islamic Cooperation (OIC) is trying to implement discriminatory Sharia in free Western countries, thus removing the right to criticize Islam.
In response to the ‘Islamophobia’ rhetoric used by OIC, we must insist that ALL RELIGIONS must be criticized whenever people of those religions commit crimes or break the rules of the social contract.
If we allow Islam a special pleading … a unique status … among religions and exemption of accountability, then Muslims will be able to break laws and not be held accountable by society. That is unacceptable.
ALL religions must be held accountable, including Islam, because human nature is flawed and furthermore, no improvement will occur when there is no criticism.
Finally, the lack of criticism will lead to stagnation … stagnation of any religion or political movement that is given a free pass from criticism. We must retain the right to criticize Islam or Muslims will not improve and Muslim law-breakers will consider themselves above the law.

Nothing will ruin the Leftist narrative of a benign Islam. Anything that goes against the narrative will be attributed to “Islamophobia” or it will be suppressed as ‘misinformation”. Any American who argues otherwise will be branded an ‘extremist”.

PMK,
Well, that accurately reflects what’s going on right now.
Perhaps it can change…

No normal human being can believe that muslims(actually called mohammedans) are peaceful and kind people.
They are devils n disguise and should be sent to hell

Regarding 9/11,first,it is a miracle no Muslim attacks have occurred.I was sure there would be dozens of time bombs exploding from trash cans,or remote control bombs set off.
Nothing.But I believe that besides Ben Laden, the Deep State was involved.The “smoking gun” is Building 7, 47 stories high,which collapsed 7 hours after the Twin Towers.
Officially they say it was to fire,that was the reason.But we know it had CIA offices,so it was to destroy evidence that the Deep State wanted to hide.It appears the Deep State wanted to issue a warning to the US government that it was more,more,more powerful than even the American government.And that it had better do as they say.

I believe that this horror story – ALL the details of it – will not stand the test of time. For example, the declaration that three thousand citizens were killed by these terrorists isn’t exactly correct. Those unfortunates who have succumbed to their injuries long after the initial assault – and those who will surely die of their injuries remain uncounted. Worse, the number(s) of Victims exposed to the deadly toxic mix ( resulting in cancer) delivered to all on that day have never been publicized to my knowledge – will we ever know the total number of innocent people who lost their lives on this day?
