Almost 3,000 innocent victims lost their lives in the cowardly attack.

What motivated these Muslims to commit this heinous act?

Mohamed Atta was a planner of the Sept. 11 attacks as well as an instrument of al Qaeda’s will. Having discovered a cause for which they were ready — indeed, often eager — to sacrifice their own lives, the 19 young jihadists followed orders as precisely and dutifully as a Nazi Storm Trooper.

Not one of them seems to have come from a military background, and there was little in their youth to suggest that they would become terrorists. The pilot of the first plane to hit the World Trade Center, Atta, came from “an ambitious, not overtly religious middle-class household in Egypt” and had led “a sheltered life” until he arrived in Hamburg, Germany, in 1992 to do graduate study in architecture.

The pilot of the second plane, Marwan al-Shehhi, was an amiable, “laid-back” fellow from the United Arab Emirates who had joined the UAE army, “not the world’s most effective fighting force but one of its most generous, paying [its scholarship] students monthly stipends of about $2,000,” which was probably his primary reason for enlisting.  This enabled him to go to Hamburg, though there is little evidence that he “had any serious scholarly ambitions.”

They both joined many other young Muslims in Hamburg, Germany for prayer and discussion, sometimes at a mosque called al Quds (the Arabic name for Jerusalem), sometimes in one of the various group houses where the men lived austerely and piously.  Per Terry McDermott in his book “Perfect Solders”:

That young men from good backgrounds would leave homes and families without fanfare or discouragement was evidence of the broad support within Saudi Arabia for jihad.  The men were trained in hand-to-hand combat in the Al Qaeda camps [in Afghanistan], taught the physical skills they would need for the sole task given them — to physically overpower flight crews. The pilots were the leaders. The new men would be the muscle.

To a considerable extent, America did not recognize the advent of a new age but whether anyone knew it or not, an era of religious terror had arrived. Intermingling religious and political goals had been the norm for most of human history. Islam itself came into the world with secular as well as sacred aims. What had changed in this latest incarnation had more to do with the world it was in than Islam itself. By the latter half of the twentieth century, the movement toward secular government had triumphed almost everywhere except in the Islamic world. The advocates of political Islam became aberrant simply by outlasting the political ambitions and empires of other religions. They might have been mere curious anachronisms had not the modern world provided them the means to wed their old beliefs to new, readily accessible technologies. The outcome of that union is terror on a scale not previously known.

New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg was asked the other day what his position was concerning Rick Lazio’s call for an investigation into the Cordoba Initiative, the Islamic group constructing this mega mosque near Ground Zero. The mayor protested that any investigation into the mosque would be “out of character for what this nation stands for and the way we conduct ourselves.”

Bloomberg added:

I don’t think we’re going to go and start investigating funding sources for religious organizations or vetting people who preach or pray in religious organizations.

Like the Democratic gubernatorial candidate Andrew Cuomo, the mayor is hiding behind a false proclamation of religious freedom to try to avoid having to investigate the obviously shady Imam Rauf and his organization that is behind the Cordoba Institute.

The Cordoba Institute paid in cash nearly five-million dollars for the property at Ground.   Where they got the money from is not entirely known. 
However, we do know that Imam Rauf of the Cordoba Initiative longs for the introduction of Sharia law in the U.S:

Throughout my discussions with contemporary Muslim theologians, it is clear an Islamic state can be established in more than just a single form or mold. It can be established through a kingdom or a democracy. The important issue is to establish the general fundamentals of Sharia that are required to govern. It is known that there are sets of standards that are accepted by [Muslim] scholars to organize the relationships between government and the governed. [emphasis added]

Current governments are unjust and do not follow Islamic laws.

New laws were permitted after the death of Muhammad, so long of course that these laws do not contradict the Quran or the Deeds of Muhammad … so they create institutions that assure no conflicts with Sharia. [emphasis in translation]

If Sharia law comes to our shores, it will usurp the Constitution and inhibit religious freedom, free speech and women’s rights.  And that’s mild stuff compared to other facets of Sharia Law.

The questions on everyone’s lips are:  Why are NYC politicians behind this desecration of hallowed ground?  Why are they bending over backwards to allow the Muslims a symbolic propaganda triumph that will be heard around the world?  And if it isn’t a symbolic “holy” mission of Islamic extremist propaganda, why are they building a mosque on Ground Zero, the site of the worst Terrorist attack ever on American soil?  And why are they insisting on having their Grand Dedication of the 10th anniversary of that heinous, cowardly attack?

Wise up, Mayor Bloomberg and the rest of you useful idiots.  You’re being used.
