9/11 a US plot, (Aussie islamic) newspaper claims
AUSTRALIA'S most radical Islamic group has defied John Howard by launching a provocative public campaign to persuade Muslims the 9/11 terror attacks were a massive US-inspired conspiracy.

The latest edition of a new Islamic newspaper launched by fundamentalist Melbourne-based Sheik Mohammed Omran's Ahlus Sunnah Wal-Jamaah Association argues that a plane did not crash into the Pentagon in Washington in the September 11 attacks and that the story was instead a major hoax.

SNIP

The newspaper, called Mecca News, then promises that "in future editions we will uncover the rest of the questions which surround 9/11".

Using pictures to support its arguments, which include claims that there were no remains of a plane found inside the Pentagon, the paper accuses Australia of only now "catching up with the debate" about what really happened on September 11, 2001.

SNIP

The newspaper devotes a feature to supporting claims made by a US author, David Ray Griffin, that a plane never crashed into the Pentagon and that the story was an elaborate hoax by the US.

The feature says: "The hole created in the (Pentagon) facade was not big enough to fit the nose of a plane let alone an entire (Boeing) 757 -- the question is how could such a big airplane have created such a small hole?"

In accompanying commentary, the paper says Australian Muslims sceptical of the official version of 9/11 are subjected to "ideological attacks".

1. more lies from the Murdoch press...the newspaper is mis-quoted
and actually says : some people make this claim not the newspaper itself.
Just more lying Murdoch & News Ltd/Faux attempts to malign Muslims in Australia.

2. Point of Clarification: Dr. Griffin does not himself claim that no plane
crashed into the Pentagon. Dr. Griffin examines the evidence for this
theory of Thierry Meyssan and, I believe, makes no definitive conclusion
on the issue. His position as I understand it is that the official
story has a number of holes and contradictions and further
investigation is needed.

Dr. Griffin's book, "The New Pearl Harbor" can be read online here:

Dr. Griffin's list of 115 critical omissions in the 9/11 Commission Report can be read here:

3. Good point
And the whole 9/11 situation really does need a new, thorough investigation because there are SOOOO many unanswered questions. :(

8. There is a haunting flash presentation on this.
I just got a link to it a couple of months ago. Still trying to find it. It showed video of something (missile?) hitting the Pentagon and it was not a plane. No plane wreckage at the site either--just a 10' round hole on the inner edge of the building. And where were the anecdotal stories about people on this plane?

5. the term "911" is only an AMERICAN code for "emergency"-not a foreign code
so does it really take a genius to realize that choosing the date"911" was an AMERICAN idea????

Other foreign countries put the day of the the month BEFORE the month--example:11/9 would be the way it would appear--which means NOTHING as far as a memorable date -nor is it short for "emergency"--but even it they did it on November 9th(and it were 9/11) the term "911" still means nothing to an Islamic terrorist in Afghanistan...or Saudi Arabia--

sort of like "411" is a code for "information" only in the U.S.!!!!!!
They really screwed up on choosing the date 9/11--and still probably don't even realize how totally obvious it is.

7. Just like when the anthrax went to Tom Daschle
most people outside the US probably never heard of him, especially since he's in the opposition party and not part of the administration.

10. exactly!! That was a "dead" givaway as well!!!
and watch what city gets hit next with a "terra" event---It won't be Washington D.C. ---it'll probably be some town no one ever heard of abroad.
