looking more and more like an inside job
So who was behind 9/11



More and more it is looking like this was an inside job: The Eagle is to be interpreted as America.



Subject: From the Islamic Bible The following verse is from the Quran, (the Islamic Bible) Quran ( 9:11) -- For it is written that a son of Arabia would awaken a fearsome Eagle. The wrath of the Eagle would be felt throughout the lands of Allah and lo, while some of the people trembled in despair still more rejoiced; for the wrath of the Eagle cleansed the lands of Allah; and there was peace.

(Note the verse number! who is the victor in 9/11 - bush, war, pnac)

1. i'm going to give you the benefit of the doubt here
Edited on Thu Aug-28-03 10:44 AM by northzax
and assume you don't have access to a copy of the Koran (get one here:http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0940368323/qid=1062085397/sr=8-1/ref=sr_8_1/102-1271402-6021758?v=glance&s=books&n=507846 ) if you did, you would know that chapter 9, verse 11 reads as follows:

"But if they repent and keep up prayer and pay the poor-rate, they are your brethren in faith; and we make the communications clear for a people who know."


read more books, fewer emails, it's subversive.

2. 9/11 was Shrubs
Reighstag fire. The parallels between 9/11 and everything that happened afterward, and the Reighstag fire in Nazi Germany and everything that happened afterward there, is increadible. And after WWII it turned out that the Jews didn't start the fire, the German government actually burnt down their own capital building and blamed it on the Jews.

3. A little from column "A", a little from column "B"
I think what is more likely is that they knew *something* was going to happen, and figured it would be on the scale of the first WTC bombing. I'm sure they let it happen, Reichstag II-style.

But, I bet you anything the Administration was as surprised as the rest of us by the logistical scale and the devastation of what actually happened.

9. I am sure they did not count on the towers falling.
Acceptable casualties would have been in the 300-500 range, ie those trapped in or above the flaming floors.
Also, it is certain they had no idea of the magnatude of the response from FDNY and NYPD to things like this, leading to hundreds more deaths still.

That was the only shock of the day to them. The numbers, and remember, at the end of the first day, they were talking 10k dead. Until people started showing up at home, hospitals and wandering around in shock.

5. Actually they didn't blame it on the Jews,
they blamed it on the Communists.

4. Hmmm.
Edited on Thu Aug-28-03 10:57 AM by Skinner
So now we're using the Quran as evidence that Bush was responsible for 9/11?

ON EDIT: I just saw northzax's post above. I guess we're not even using the Quran, but rather just making up stuff.

6. Apologies to all....
I did not read the Quran. This was sent to me. I had no reason to believe the person did not attach the proper verse to 9:11.

8. These freep emails are irritating - no verse like that exists at all.
Edited on Thu Aug-28-03 02:11 PM by Rabrrrrrr
All lies, all the time.

I've been searching some on-line Korans for the last 20 minutes, in a variety of translations, and using a wide range of words, and as far as I can tell, that "verse" exists nowhere in the Koran.

I rried searching on words used in the verse you gave, sometimes picking ones I know are going to be used (wrath, allah, peace, son, land) and other variations of the words inside that verse (rise, raven, anger, etc.)

Found nothing.

So, not only is the verse numbering made up, and entire damn thing is made up. More republican freep propaganda for you.

had a feeling that verse wasn't in the Koran. Doesn't sound very Koranish.

Morans who do propagandizing lying diatribes like this, knowing that the people they send it to aren't gonna check it, either, cuz they never bother to read the Koran or actually do any research on anything anyway finding it much easier to just hate and be smug and confident about it, piss me off. (this is not me criticizing you, though, since obviously you DID try to find the truth, by posting here on DU).

10. No offense, but it took me less than 20 secs to establish this is fake
Edited on Thu Aug-28-03 08:46 PM by Pert_UK
Why on Earth would you choose to take the words of a chain email as fact, without checking it?

Have you also been helping a lot of Nigerians shift cash out of the country too? And what about those Nostradamus prophecies, eh?

http://www.snopes.com/politics/war/quran.asp

"Origins: No, this isn't a legitimate quotation from the Quran (or Koran), the sacred text of Islam. The chapter and verse citation quoted above is a leg-pull, an obvious play on the USA's (the Eagle) launching of military action against Afghanistan and Iraq (the "lands of Allah") in response to the September 11 terrorist attacks on America organized by Osama bin Laden (the "son of Arabia awakening a fearsome eagle"). That the chapter and verse selection match the date of the terrorist attacks (:11) is another giveaway to the joke. "

Aside from anything else, why would the Qu'ran be using the Christian, American calendar???

I really, genuinely don't mean to be rude, but spreading this kind of thing is not a good idea.
