September 11th
‘Nine’ and ‘eleven,’ two numbers that have changed the present and future of the world.
It was a beautiful Tuesday morning in September. Two hijacked planes were intentionally crashed into the Twin Towers of the World Trade Center and thousands of innocent people were slaughtered. This dark day brought to light a clash of civilizations that has been brewing for close to four millennia. 9/11 underlined for America and the world that there were people one this planet who would do anything to kill people unlike themselves, who would slit the throats of infidels and blow up their own babies for an evilly distorted version of a ‘god’ created in their own hateful image. It is the responsibility for God-fearing people everywhere to obliterate such evil.
