Action Alert! Stop the Whitewashing of 9/11 History!

Visit our News page ***URGENT ACTION ALERT*** CAIR PRESSURES THE NATIONAL 9/11 MEMORIAL & MUSEUM TO REMOVE “ISLAMIST” AND “JIHAD” FROM HISTORIC DEPICTION The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) is at it again. This time they are working to water down a 7-minute film entitled, “The Rise of Al Qaeda” that will be shown at the soon-to-be opened September 11 Memorial & Museum at the World Trade Center. Specifically, CAIR wants to whitewash the description of Al Qaeda and the 9/11 attacks by having the film edited to remove the words “Islamists” and “jihad.” We must stop CAIR now! We cannot allow CAIR to rewrite the history of 9/11. Removing the accurate description of those who caused this heinous attack not only would be factually incorrect, but would be a tragic slap in the face to all Americans, as well as a disservice to all future generations by misrepresenting the truth. Further, if Jihad truly means to “struggle” and not warfare to establish the religion, how does CAIR explain the names of terrorist organizations such as these? Harkat-ul-Jihad al-Islami (Pakistan, Bangladesh, India) Islamic Front for Armed Jihad (Algeria) Islamic Jihad for the Liberation of Palestine (Lebanon) Islamic Jihad Movement in Palestine (Israel) Islamic Jihad Organization (Lebanon) Islamic Jihad Union (Uzbekistan) Jama’at al-Jihad al-Islami (Kyrgyzstan, Uzbekistan, Russia) Laskar Jihad (Indonesia) United Jihad Council (India) You cannot deny the fact that there is a connection between Islam and Jihad. The reality is Jihad is a tenet of Islam. Depicting anything else – and at a memorial dedicated to the remembrance of the 9/11 attacks no less – would be factually dishonest. We must take action and we must take action now. The National September 11 Memorial and Museum officials must hear what the rest of America thinks about this issue, otherwise, the only ones they will hear from are groups like CAIR. This is your turn to protect historical truth from being erased from the 9/11 Museum. We owe it to our children to keep the truth alive. Can we count on you to take a moment to contact the 9/11 Memorial Museum about this issue today? *** IMPORTANT AND TIME-SENSITIVE ACTION ITEM! *** Please contact the National September 11 Memorial & Museum at the World Trade Center today to let them know that you fully support their film, “The Rise of Al Qaeda,” as it currently stands and that you oppose any modification of that film to whitewash historically accurate depictions of who perpetrated the 9/11 attacks on our nation. Let them know that including the words “Islamist” and “jihad” are historically accurate and in no way impugn the entire Muslim community.
