That Crazy Crawford Cindy Continues to Forge Onward

September 11th, 2006 at 11:02 by MsUnderestimated

Thanks and h/t to Michelle Malkin, and you won’t be disappointed. I swear folks, Jihad Cindy is crazy as a loon. She is looking more and more like Che Guevara redux, or even Jane Fonda on an enemy tank.

You know, after seeing this picture, I can only envision the old “fight the power” fist, hippie flower children. What a loser. From Michelle’s site:

Hers (t-shirt) reads: “We will not be silent.” Yeah, well neither will I.

My morning has been devoted to paying tribute to the victims of the terrorist attacks five years ago. They will never be forgotten. But as I wrote last night in noting the new Zawahiri video:

“Remembrance is worthless without resolve. And resolve is useless without recognition. You can’t know our enemies, let alone defeat them, with your head buried in the sand hiding from the ‘Islamophobia’ brigade.”

Remembrance. Resolve. Recognition. Those have been major themes of this blog over the past several years in covering everything from the battle over the Ground Zero memorial to the fight over the Flight 93 memorial to the terror-coddling by CAIR to our persistently stupid open-door policies to jihadis to the Mohammed Cartoon rage to the plight of Abdul Rahman to the blogger whistle-blowing on “Fauxtography.”

In keeping with those three tenets, I have chosen to welcome best-selling author Robert Spencer over at Hot Air today to provide much deeper historical context for the 9/11 attacks–context the appeasers and the Islamophobia-phobes prefer to ignore, misremember, or whitewash. We’ll be running another program later this week hosted by Robert, who will have a rejoinder to American al Qaeda Adam Gadahn. Gadahn named Robert and several other outspoken American analysts and authors, including Daniel Pipes and Steve Emerson, who write critically on Islam and jihad.

We owe these and many other outspoken dissidents our thanks. I personally owe Robert, Daniel, Steve, Diana West, and Andy Bostom deepest gratitude for helping educate me about a threat I shrugged my shoulders at before 9/11. More: Bat Ye’or. Oriana Fallaci. Wafa Sultan. Aayan Hirsi Ali. Irshad Manji. Ibn Warraq. Bruce Bawer. MEMRI. Bloggers: Charles Johnson, The Jawa Report, Laura Mansfield, Gates of Vienna, The Counterterrorism Blog, Zombie, Honest Reporting, Paul Belien and The Brussels Journal. So many more.

Not all of them agree on every aspect of the Islamic terrorist threat to the West or how best to defend ourselves against it. And I don’t agree with everything they’ve written. But all of these men and women are inspirations who share a common intellectual defiance against submission to jihad.

For their refusal to submit, they have earned death threats, scorn, and endless accusations of “Islamophobia.” And not just from the unhinged Left. Ralph Peters of the New York Post, a venerable writer and author whose work I’ve admired and respected, lost it completely last week pointing fingers at unnamed “right-wing extremists” as “Islam Haters: The Enemy Within.” He refuses to name any names. He rages that his anonymous targets are the “Ku Klux Klan with higher-thread-count sheets.” And he plays the chickenhawk card to the hilt, as if civilians have no ammunition to offer in the battle against jihadists.

Jihad Cindy needs to be committed, and SOON! Wow. This is incredible.

What We Saw - An Eyewitness Account of 9/11 (VIDEO)

September 11th, 2006 at 10:35 by MsUnderestimated

This is one of the most raw accounts I’ve seen, this one from Revver 1.0. This is an average person, filming a far-from-average day, and you just have to watch it to believe. It’s unscripted, first-person, and a non-news account from an apartment window.

You can watch the movie here. (Caution, large video so it takes a while.)

The power of it all…. much more than can be experienced thousands of miles away.

Cun and Run…To Where? (VIDEO)

September 11th, 2006 at 05:57 by MsUnderestimated

The Center for Security Policy has tons of great videos on their site, you should go check them out. It reminds us that there are people out there who are hell-bent on our destruction, and admonishes those who want to cut & run from Iraq.

In ‘06 and ‘08, vote as if your life depends on it - because it does.

Watch this excellent video here.

Your country is counting on you to do the right thing at the polls, and you all know what that is. Vote strength, principle, and conviction - not wavering, cut-and-running, flip-flopping indecision.

5 Years After 9/11, What Do Arabs and Iranians Think? (VIDEOS)

September 11th, 2006 at 05:29 by MsUnderestimated

h/t to Pajamas Media for allowing me to find this. Some of these films will feed into the conspiracy whackjobs here in this country, but listen fully and you’ll see the lunacy of it all. It’s almost like they’ve gotten the Dem talking points from the start (or perhaps it’s been the other way around).

Watch these videos, make note of the names and countries, and remember what they say about us behind our back.

From MEMRI’s site:

Since the attacks on September 11, 2001, The Middle East Media Research Institute has monitored, translated, and recorded what was said in the Arab and Iranian press about that day. Prominent journalists, members of academia, leading religious figures, and even Arab government officials helped shape conspiracies about what “really” happened.

The carefully documented collection is now available as a PDF and includes a compilation of articles and editorials from the mainstream Arabic and Persian language press, as well as transcripts from television programs.

A documentary film about the Arab and Iranian reaction to 9-11 incorporates footage from various TV and satellite stations in the Middle East. It was made with Interface Media Group and narrated by acclaimed actor Ron Silver.

I’ll end it with this quote from one of the films:

“When the twin towers collapsed… My lungs filled with air and I breathed in relief, as I had never breathed before.”

‘Ali ‘Uqleh ‘Ursan,
Syrian Arab Writers Association chairman
Al-Usbu’ Al-Adabi (Damascus)
September 15, 2001

Watch the videos in parts, here, here, here and here.

HotAir has a piece on this, and CounterterrorismBlog is covering more like this. Michelle Malkin is also blogging about the post-9/11 rejoicing in the Muslim world.
