Curse, bless, me now with your fierce tears, I pray.
Do not gentle into that good night, rage, rage against the dying of the light!" (Dylan Thomas)
Allah IS God, our God. There's one true God, Allah MEANS God in English! You're such an ignorant idiot! And if you're a muslim, then why come your e-mail address says "last supper!?"
IDIOT!
You're such a hypocritical idiot! YOU JUST CONTRADICTED WHAT YOU SAID! You cannot blame certain events on AMERICA as a whole! Just because we're a democractic-republic doesn't mean the American people always have a choice! We try to work things out, but scandals DO happen. JFK sent us into Vietnam: You find 5 people for me who CHOSE to fight in that war, and felt a cause too. So get your facts straight before you start yelling at America. BTW: America= North America/South America. We're the United States of America.
Egyptian Girl is right: Just because bin Laden believes in killing anyone BUT the Muslims does NOT mean it's in the Koran. I know for a fact your just making that up. You're making up facst to make yourself look smart, or un-sheltered. But you're wrong, and you just lied because you said that. Whatever you saw that said that was NOT the true Koran.
The lives lost on September 11, 2001 will be remembered by family, friends, and by Americans' as One Nation Under God.
Osama Bin Laden, you will be remembered. May your head be cut off and 1000 camels crap down your neck!
God Bless The Souls Lost!
God Bless Our Soldiers!
God Bless America!
I hope and pray that those seeking the boss will find Him and recieve great comfort in the reality of knowing him. With him is where you will find true peace.
One Love
One Hope
One God

GOD SPEED!!! cAtHy t.cANdIaN
Playing world police for decades, again and again poking their noses in things that are none of their business, ruthlessly invading other countries for profit, systematically teaching their youngest to hate and kill, self-righteously seperating the world in good and evil according to their opportunistic interests alone, ridiculously proud of technology that they, at best, have derived from what they have stolen before...
When will you learn that those who rule you and those who ruled you in the past are the ones guilty for the hatred you face?
If you seek justice, turn to those people, because they have drenched the American flag in foreign blood
too often.
If you so strongly desire revenge, turn to them.
As you seem to lust for ever more blood, go take theirs.
I wish you could just stop offending the rest of the world for once , but I'm afraid that there are already too many of you who were raised to actually believe that facist, racist and imperialistic nonsense that you call "being a good american".
But I know you won't.
You can't.
Not anymore.
I can already see you riding that bomb, laughing hysterically...
Everyone have
COURAGE!!!!!!!!!
thats how we survive
Only Jesus and God is the true Gods. If you are not saved, the Bible says "For the wages of sin is death" and death is eternal separation from God, in hell. This is why it's essential to be saved.
The Holy Bible also says "the gift of God, is eternal life through Jesus Christ." Eternal Life is a FREE GIFT! It is free, because Jesus loves us. He loved us even while we are sinners. He loves us so much, He paid the price of death for our sins.
"if you confess with your mouth, the Lord Jesus,
and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you SHALL be saved." That is what the bible says, it does not say you might be saved, it does not say you will be saved after a while, it says YOU SHALL BE SAVED.
The Bible also says: "For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved." Just simply believe in the Truth of God, and ask him for forgivness, and you WILL be saved.
This next verse is also from my school, but it is my favorite Bible verse Isaiah 40:31 "But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strenght; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint."
If you are not a Christian, when you die, and are judged before the Almighty God on Heaven, and are not saved, you will be cast down to Hell, and enternal punishment of fire, and never to escape. But if you confess to the Lord Jesus Christ your sins and are forgiven you shall reign for all eternity in the most wonderful place ever, Heaven.
YOU MUST REPENT TO BE SAVED FROM ETERNAL PUNISHAMENT!!!
Because, God should only bless true Born Again Christians. And Christians should bless those who persecute them. According to the Bible we should forgive Bin Laden and all the suicide bombers and the people who crashed the airplanes. WHy should we you might ask? Because the Bible says that we need to learn to forgive other people, before God can forgive us.
AND TO LOGAN NEAL HALL: Jesus Christ! HE DRANK WINE ON THE LAST SUPPER, IDIOT! TRY READING THE BIBLE NEXT TIME! AND IT WAS REAL WINE! STUPID HIPPOCRITE!
Sure, Jesus drank wine during the Last Supper, and before. But keep reading, and pray to God and ask him to reveal the versus to you. And he shall say it in your hear and hide it there. And you shall find out that it is a sin.
PS:// Feel free to email me at [email protected] I will not block you or anything. I will love to recieve emails from people I do not know.
God Bless the true Born Again Christians!
God help the unsaved people!
This is a sample prayer to pray to get saved:
Dear God, I admit that I am a sinner. I realize that I have been living my life for the world. I realize that I have sinned against your will. And Dear God, I ask you to forgive you of my sins. I ask you that, you will come into my heart. I ask that you forgive and forget my sins. I pray that you will save me. I want to be saved, I believe that God (you) sent your only son into the world, to be born of a virgin, and then hung on the cross to pray for our sins. I believe, and I want to be saved.
In Jesus' name I pray, Amen.
The Bible says, "Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but rather give place unto wrath: for it is written, Vengeance is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord. Therefore if thine enemy hunger, feed him; if he thirst, give him drink: for in so doing thou shalt heap coals of fire on his head. Be not overcome of evil, but overcome evil with good."
See, God will take care of everything. All we need to do, is love God, and respect Him. All we need to do is, love thy enemy. We should do unto others as we would prefer them to do unto us. And if the others does not do so the same, then God shall punish him.
Stephen-
Fought for the Lord. And defended God, and was stoned to death for it. And still believed in God.
He is a martyer.
COLUMBINE girl-
The Shooter pointed a gun at the girl, he said do you believe in God, and the girl said yes. The Shooter shot her. She is a martyer.
Noah-
Back then it didnt rain, the watter would spread throught the ground watering the plants and filling rivers and such. God told Noah that the earth was beginning to be sinful. And God told Noah (since Noah was good and faithful to him) And God said it was gonna rain and he was gonna flood the earth. So Noah spent 120 years building an ark. To save his family.
Paul-
Paul preached and teached the word of God. And had an upmost faith in God.
And so on.
god bless to osama and saddam to destroy america u will be beggars one day "insha allaha"
there everyone. I am a muslim. My question is
"When this war is going to be stopped"?
Stop you jehadis this all you do and please stop America you do in the muslim world. I also request Israel to stop human violence in Palestine and same is to the Palestine people.
" Please respect the humanity, it is greater of you all."
I am a human and I love humanity.
I need all of the friends who respect humanity and who love nature. Please have friendship with each other. No religion teaches the fellows to fight with others. It's the concern of their own aims who break up this fire. Please have faith in humanity because
" It is greater of you all."
and the reality is
"Humanity"
Let's do something for this. I am with you. All the humans are with you. You just take a step forward.
Come on.
GOD BLESS ALL OF YOU
and the soldiers that are fighting for their country will remain in the hearts of everyone for eternity

PEACE FOR EVERYONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!
On 9-11 my world was rocked forever. People who remember the day President Kennedy was shot told me "You'll always remember where you were when that happened." Well no DUH!! I remember where I was when I first got stitches in my head, scored my first hat-trick, kissed a girl, graduated high school... not to mention when a little thing called the Space Shuttle blew up... "you'll always remember where you were when..." what a stupid concept.
What I will remember is walking in from Dahlia's (Golden Retriever pup) morning run and my wife, Marie telling me "You gotta come see this." I started to wash my hands and said I'd be there in a sec. She then screams "No! You have to see this now!!" I ran to the den and saw the WTC on fire. Katie Couric was reporting that a plane may have hit it and I remember thinking "wow, what a serious accident."
Our astonishment and disbelief soon turned to horror as we watched a second plane hit the other tower. Quickly, our minds began to race with thoughts of Timothy McVeigh and chemical weapons... not to mention very close friends we had who worked high in the towers. Strangely, I went to the basement and started the VCR with a fresh 6 hr tape. (Which I have yet to watch; 2 years later.)
It was then that my friend Rod called me from his office in the U.S. He had heard of the events on the net but it was now moving too slow as cnn.com was overloaded (and eventually shut down). I described the events to him and what possible explanations were being reported. I then told him to get to a TV; drive to a Best Buy if he had to.
In the next instant there was an enormous mile-high cloud of dust and from what I could barely make out on TV... there seemed to be a tower missing, but no one was reporting that because no one could see anything. The dust began to settle, reports began to trickle in, and to our disbelieving, stunned horror I could see that one tower WAS missing. No way. Absolutely NO WAY!! We never imagined this could happen. A bad fire, major structural damage, lot's of people tragically killed? Yes. But not this, not in a million years.
I ordered Rod to skip Circuit City and go home NOW; then we hung up. Marie began to cry and we had a long, emotional hug. We were slack-jawed, glassy eyed and not thinking clearly. As she went to the phone to call Catherine (her Maid of Honor) to check on her husband Simon who worked at the WTC, reports came in that the Pentagon was on fire. Whoa, this was unreal!! Now we were madly channel flipping and then the second tower went down too... we were both sitting on the sofa, clutching Duncan, dazed. We watched CNN for the next two days straight, rallied around the President's moving speech and just tried to make sense of everything.
We soon found out that all 5 of our friends who worked in the towers were OK but sadly, many of their friends and co-workers were not. While Duncan was 2 months old then, Catherine and Simon had a one month old girl named Lucy. Simon worked high in Tower One and since he was a VP for Paine Webber, he was always at his desk by 7:30 am. Well, as fate would have it, Lucy kept him up most of the previous night so he was really late getting to work that day. It was past 10:00 and as if he wasn't late enough to work, he was pissed when for some reason his subway wouldn't go all the way to the WTC stop and he had to get off one stop earlier at Park Place and walk. As he got above ground he couldn't believe what he saw happening... he is currently in counselling and still has nightmares... don't we all.
Guess I'll remember a little more than simply where I was when this gruesome, cowardly and barbaric act took place. I will also remember the victims, their families, all the countries that came to our aid, mourned with us and truly felt our pain. But most of all, I'll remember all the amazing acts of bravery and heroism that crystalize the fiber, soul and resolve of the greatest city on earth.
You guys have funded/supported terrorism around the world for too long, basically since the beginning of the cold war in the '50s!! Both Osama and Saddam (who incidentally were enemies of each other before Bush 'cowboy' jr went into Iraq) are American creations, funded and nurtured by America. So is Pakistani terrorism on India, which on the other hand created the Taliban. (in case u dont believe this stuff, i suggest you check it up with some reliable source.) Further, while the terrorist activities of the Palestinians are absolutely unacceptable, so is israel's occupation of Palestinian land and American support of that. But as an American, you probably dont care much about India/Pakistan or Israel/Palestine, just as long as American interests are nicely served. It's all about bringing home the bacon, isnt it ? And maybe selling a few guns and bombs for that, eh ??
You guys have to realize that your government's gi joe attitude has landed the entire world in a mess...yes, many Muslims are not good at co-existing, and being an Indian Hindu, I should know. But then majority of Muslims aren't terrorists...by attacking Iraq, Bush jr just made them want to be terrorists, comprendo ?? Dozens of young Americans are dying in Iraq each day, including Americans of Indian origin. But then, we've been losing tens of thousands of our loved ones in Kashmir for the last 20 years to Pakistani terrorist bullets, all financed by Pakistani/American money. The irony is, half of all global terrorists today are Pakistanis, including many involved in 9/11. I guess you finally know how it feels like to lose a loved one....
American hypocrisy is laughable...u guys preach nuclear disarmament, yet u have the largest stockpile of nukes in the world - enough to blow up the planet many times over. You guys talk about caring for the planet, yet your country is the highest consumer of energy per person, and produces the maximum amount of solid waste and carbon dioxide per person. I could go on and on...America and the world had some hope when Clinton was around. His sexual escapades apart, he had a lot of sense when it came to policy. But u guys just shot yourself in the foot by electing Bush. Tough!
Anyway, what's happened cant be undone, but fences can be mended. First, your hypocrisy needs to stop. Second, you need to be able to criticize yourselves, the way John Lennon and the flower-power of the anti-Vietnam-war '60s was able to. Sure, go out and get Osama and all the other jerks who make a perversion out of a religion...India is right alongside America in the war on terrorism. But then, u have to realize that this wasnt a war against a religion, your country made it.
America needs to live and let live, not live and let die, as it has done for too long. Else, you know what happened to the Romans, right...?
(I welcome any comments/replies)
I am a 21 year old law student from texas. I can still remember 9/11 like it was yestaday, truly one of the worst days in our history. I dont think I have seen these pictures before but they are absolutely wonderful. I have to say I agree with Irfan that a lot more religion education needs to be taught in our schools to increase knowledge and understanding about different faiths. I am not happy with our foreign policies and think wars solve nothing but simply create more hatred. I was totally opposed to the war in Iraq, too many lives have been lost on both sides and know we no there was absolutely no threat from them whatsoever. Many Iraqis have lost nearly all their families just so we could catch one man. I hope this is the last war for a very very long time and I hope good muslims like Irfan dont hate us all for our countries dodgy foreign policies.
