Never
forget, America. But remember the
facts.
Never
forget that shock you felt when you saw those planes crash in to our
buildings. The horror that closed your
throat when you saw your neighbors throw themselves out of the towers. The cry you uttered when the World Trade
Center collapsed. The tears that welled when you heard about the
heroes on United 93. The righteous anger
you felt when you first saw the pictures of the hijackers…the righteous anger
you still feel every time you see their faces.
Never forget that wellspring of pride when you stood in line with
hundreds of your friends to give blood.
That pride when you heard of those running in to buildings as many were
running out. That pride every time you
saw that flag flying. Never forget that feeling
of humanity and brotherhood when the French newspaper ran the headline “Today
We Are All Americans”. Our grandparents
can tell you where they were when Pearl Harbor was attacked. Our parents can tell you where they were when
President Kennedy was killed. You will
forever remember where you were on September 11th, 2001 when you saw 3,000 of
your brothers and sisters wiped out in an attack that can only be characterized
as pure evil.
But
remember the facts, America. Muslims did not attack us that day. Muslims did not hijack four airliners and fly
them into our buildings. Muslims did not
kill three thousand of the world’s citizens in cold blood. No, Muslims died that day alongside Christians,
Jews, Hindus, Buddhists, and atheists.
Muslims are not our enemy. Arabs
are not our enemy. Islamists are not our
enemy. Our enemy is that disgusting category
of human who would rather kill their fellow man in cold blood than sit down and
engage in a rational conversation. They
do not deserve the title Muslim…hell, they do not deserve the title human.
