The Opening Act

In the United States, on February 26, 1993, the first World Trade Center bombing in New York City killed seven, including an unborn child. More than 1,000 innocent people were wounded by the blast, debris, and smoke. It was Islam's opening act on American soil, a prelude of what would come. And yet it wasn't enough to awaken the sleeping, almost comatose, giant.

The world's foremost Qur'anic scholar, the Egyptian Sheikh Omar Abdel Rahman, masterminded the bombing along with his disciple, fellow Muslim terrorist Ramzi Ahmed Yousef. If Islam isn't a terrorist religion, Sheikh Ar-Rahman's participation is hard to explain.

As a result of his involvement in the crime, the blind Sheikh is serving a life sentence in the U.S. medical center for federal prisoners in Springfield, Missouri. He is being kept alive by the people he was trying to kill. In addition to being poisoned by Islam, the blind cleric suffers from diabetes, hepatitis, gall stones, a liver tumor, respiratory failure, partial paralysis, artery disease, high blood pressure, the aftermath of a heart attack, and bouts of insanity (beyond the obvious Islam-inspired schizophrenia).

The first Islamic bombing of the World Trade Center would cost Americans $500 million and shattered dozens of lives. Because the message was not heeded, and the enemy was not identified, the second Islamic bombing of the World Trade Center, would cost half a trillion dollars, and destroyed thousands of lives and has permanently changed the life in the United States.

Since America is still in complete denial as to who bombed the towers and why, and is failing by lashing out at symptoms, what do you suppose the third attack on New York City will cost the ignorant nation? The answer is far more than the 3,300 American lives and $600 billion already squandered in Afghanistan and Iraq. Next time Islam strikes, America will lose New York. The city will be rendered uninhabitable by militant Muslims. And even then, Americans won't understand who is killing them, or why.

The reason America remains in the dark regarding the nature and intentions of Islam is directly related to ignorance, a lack of knowledge, and to an unwillingness, or inability, to be judgmental. We will address the first problem (at least for those who are reading this review) by providing a comprehensive analysis of Islam's opening act on American soil.

With regard to the second issue, the conditioning of Americans to view judgment as being wrong, there is nothing we can do because that battle has already been lost. Under the moral code of Socialist Secular Humanists, the Politically Correct nation is no longer discerning, no longer able to accumulate evidence, connect those things which are related, and form reasoned conclusions. The overwhelming preponderance of Americans (as well as most Westerners) have unwittingly abandoned the underpinning of choice, and thus relinquished freedom and hope. They have accepted a meticulously crafted mirage in its place. Political, religious, and academic perceptions, deceptions actually, have shaped a deadly and destructive illusion.

When a society or individual ceases to be judgmental, they cease to be civil, moral, free, productive, rational, wise, or even good. Judgment is a prerequisite for all of these things - the very underpinning of choice, conscience, creativity, and compassion. It lies at the heart of God's message to man - His universal gift.

Political correctness is Secular Humanism's replacement morality - a code designed to render Yahweh's prescriptions irrelevant. It is based upon the notion that those who pass judgment are to be condemned. Their hypocritical and irrational mantra is: "We are intolerant of intolerance." Once this poison is ingested, the undiscerning masses become pawns of the elitists. They are rendered incapable of rebelling. Moreover, the only light they are given in this dark place is that which is provided by those conditioning to accept their fate. Without a functioning moral compass, the preponderance of people not only don't know where they actually are, or how they got there, they don't even recognize reality. They don't know how dark the landscape has become or just how close they are to the end.

All of this is done so that mankind can be led away from God and be ruled by men. And those men have done such a marvelous job weaving their lies into the fabric of politics, religion, and educational systems, those who consider themselves the most moral, are the most deceived. The so-called "Moral Majority," the Christian Right, is responsible for electing the party, religion, and man who led the nation into a winless war on a bed of lies, one in which the actual foe is considered a good friend, and a tactic has been labeled a foe.

If you have not abandoned the will and ability to be judgmental, you will find what follows enlightening. At least ten Muslims associated with the Egyptian Islamic Group and the Philippine Abu Sayyaf organization, packed a rented van with explosives and then parked it in an underground lot. The Islamic jihadists, all of whom were attendees of the blind cleric's New Jersey mosque, were hoping to bring the World Trade Center towers down, killing everyone inside.

They were so demented, so polluted with Islam, their deadly cargo included a devise designed to release cyanide gas. The plan was to kill emergency response crews - fireman, policemen, and medics trying to do their jobs. Fortunately, very few Muslims are engineers. The poison gas was consumed in the blast and resulting fire.

The rented van, which was loaded with over 500 pounds of explosives (a mix of nitrate fertilizer and fuel oil), was driven into the underground parking structure of one of the towers. Upon detonation, the blast ruptured a hole in floors up to the third story and caused significant structural damage. The goal of the attack was to weaken the foundation of the tower, causing it to collapse, and then fall into the other tower.

Proving that Islam makes Muslims incompetent, six days after the bombing, police arrested Mohammad Salameh as he was trying to get the deposit back for the van he rented to carry the bomb. Winning the Darwin award, the jihadist actually called the rental agency prior to his arrival, letting them know that he was on his way. The bumbling terrorist was the product of Jordan University where he studied Islamic Law before becoming a disciple of Qur'an scholar, Sheik Omar Abdul Rahman who was the imam of his Jersey City mosque.

Also arrested was Ibrahim Elgabrowny, a cousin of El Sayyid Nosair. That Muslim had been Rabbi Kahane's assassin - the founder of the Jewish Defense League. Islam is as Islam does.

Other fundamentalist Muslims indicted for their role in the blast which injured 1,040 Americans included Nidal Ayyad, Mahmud Abouhalima, Bilal Alkaisi, Muhammad Ahmed Ajaj, and Ramzi Ahmed Yousef. They called themselves "the Liberation Army Fifth Battalion" in a letter sent to the New York Times in which they claimed "credit" for having built, delivered, and detonated the bomb. In their press release, Allah's anti-Semites called for the termination of U.S. relations with Israel and an end to American involvement in Middle Eastern (read Muslim) affairs.

The Liberation Army Fifth Battalion was merely a name chosen by Ramzi Yousef for Sheikh Rahman's gang. It was never an actual jihadist organization. These bad boys were just good Muslims.

Every participant in the attack was a Muslim - as were those who brought the buildings down less than a decade later. Some were connected. Ramzi Yousef's uncle, Khalid Sheik Mohammed, was a high-ranking al-Qaeda member who has been blamed for planning many attacks, including the September 11th, 2001 hijackings and suicide bombings. And Sheikh Omar Rahman was the founder of al-Gama'a al Islamiyya (the Islamic Group) - the largest Egyptian terrorist organization. Each of the 2/26/93 terrorists were members of this religious club.

Since it's considered unconstitutional in America to restrict the public display of any religion other than Christianity, Ramzi Ahmed Yousef was accused of being the inspiration behind the bombing, rather than the Islamic cleric Sheikh Rahman. That is not to say that Ramzi wasn't instrumental in the attack, but only that Yousef worked for the religious leader, not the other way around. Both were convicted.

After his trial, Ramzi Ahmed Yousef was sentenced to life plus 240 years in prison in January 1998. In an insult to our sense of value, he was also fined $4.5 million for restitution. At his sentencing, the good Muslim said: "I am a terrorist and I am proud of it." Islam was the reason.

Ramzi, Omar, Mohammad Salameh, Ibrahim, Nidal, Mahmud, Bilal, and Muhammad Ahmed were found guilty not only of actually bombing the World Trade Center but of planning to bomb a half-dozen other New York City targets - including the Holland Tunnel and the United Nations.

Unknown to most Americans, the court convicted these same Muslim men of having conspired to use liquid explosives hidden in beverage and personal care products, and detonators hidden in consumer electronic devices, to simultaneously kill everyone aboard 10 to 12 jumbo jets as they flew transcontinental flights across the Pacific and Atlantic. Their Philippine-based scheme, dusted off by some Muslims in London, is the reason air passengers are inconvenienced today, and no longer able to pack beverages or cosmetics in their carryon baggage.

But there is much more to this story. Along with the computer files detailing this deadly plan, Philippine investigators discovered another diabolical airborne scheme. It called for jihadists to hijack American aircraft and fly those planes into symbolic targets. Specifically listed among the buildings they hoped to bring down was the World Trade Center, the Pentagon, and the White House. Sound familiar? And since this was found in late 1994 and early 1995, years before 9/11/2001, and since the Islamic perpetrators had proven they were serious, why do you suppose America did nothing to stop the next bombing? More interesting still, why hasn't the U.S. government admitted to knowing the specific details surrounding 9/11, and instead of having claimed that there was no way to predict it?

The upcoming destruction of the World Trade Towers wasn't a secret. When Ramzi Yousef was flown via helicopter from the courthouse after his conviction to prison, his blindfold was removed by an FBI agent who said, "See, they still stand." Yousef replied: "Not for long." Because this is important, we will return to the evidence behind this stunning revelation before we leave the scene of this crime.

As a good Muslim, Ramzi Ahmed Yousef was proud of what he had done and what others like him would do. He confessed at his trial that his goal was to kill 250,000 Americans. He said: "Our calculations were not very accurate this time. However we promise you that next time it will be very precise and the Trade Center will be one of our targets."

America, however, thanks in large part to its lying politicians, deceitful professors, disingenuous clerics, and misleading media, did not, and does not, know who Yousef meant by "our." As a direct result, the number of Americans "they" will murder and mutilate would continue to rise from tens, to hundreds, to thousands, to millions.

In hindsight, some read "al-Qaeda" into Ramzi Yousef's threat. But at this time, al-Qaeda had yet to kill a single American or Jew. In the world of Islamic terrorism, al-Qaeda was known only to the mujahideen engaged in the Afghanistan-based Great Jihad, to the genocidal Islamic regime slaughtering Africans in the Sudan, and to their American and Pakistani patrons, the CIA and ISI. Ramzi meant "Muslims" when he used "our" and "we."

On the subject of al-Qaeda, there is more you should know. Sheikh Rahman was not only the founder of Egypt's most popular terrorist club, Gama'at al-Islamiyya, the Qur'an scholar had also been appointed the spiritual leader of Egyptian Islamic Jihad, the core of the Islamic terrorist consortium of mujahideen groups in Afghanistan and Pakistan that spawned al-Qaeda. As you may recall from our October 1981 review of Sadat's assassination, Dr. Ayman al-Zawahiri, Ar-Rahman's associate in al-Jihad at the time, co-founded MAK, the forerunner of al-Qaeda using a lavish allowance from the American CIA. What you don't yet know is how Jimmy Carter's beneficiaries would go on to aid and abet the 9-11-2001 terrorist bombing of the same building or how Carter and his associates started the Afghan war which left 1.3 million people dead. While the 9/11/2001 plot was conceived and staffed in the al-Kod mosque in Hamburg, Germany, it was principally funded by fundamentalist Muslims associated with the Pakistani government - the conduit through which Jimmy Carter funneled billions of dollars to al-Qaeda.

Here is that story. The Maktab al-Khadamat, or MAK, was a joint venture with the Pakistani government by way of their Inter Services Intelligence (ISI), the United States Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), and Saudi Arabia with their OPEC funding and Wahhabi inspiration. Of this alliance from hell, the leader of the British House of Commons correctly wrote: "Bin Laden was a product of monumental miscalculation by western security agencies." He was right. And since this "monumental miscalculation" has obliterated 7,000 American lives in the last ten years, you deserve to know who was responsible.

The policy to equip Islamic fundamentalists was crafted by Council on Foreign Relations (CFR) leader, Zbigniew Brzezinski. At the time he was President Jimmy Carter's mentor and National Security Advisor. It had been a reward as Brzezinski had planned Carter's rise from obscure peanut farmer to incompetent, anti-Semitic president. Once empowered, and years before the Soviets invaded Afghanistan, Zbigniew Brzezinski conceived, sold, and implemented the plan to lure them in, creating a Russian Vietnam by way of Islamic fundamentalists.

Under Jimmy Carter's authority, the American CIA covertly funneled $250 million a year in cash and weaponry to Maktab al-Khadamat, al-Qaeda al-Sudah, and Taliban jihadists. The total to Osama bin Laden's associates ultimately climbed to well over a billion dollars. And overall U.S. military aid to Muslim militants in Afghanistan, including the Taliban, exceeded $5 billion. Not only was the Pakistani Taliban the most substantial recipient of CIA weaponry, their Foreign Affairs Minister, the man who was responsible for the Taliban's dealings with the ISI and CIA was Hamid Karzai - George Bush's appointed Prime Minister of Afghanistan.

A little background here is in order because the facts are, America was instrumental in creating both the Taliban and al-Qaeda. In July of 1979 when Zia was dictator over Pakistan, he worked with the U.S to arm fundamentalist Muslims to fight against the Soviet-backed government in Afghanistan. The Soviets, who supported the Marxist-Muslim regime in Kabul, did not invade until late December - six months later.

This fact was not known at the time and has only come to light recently as CFR, CIA, and NSA officials have jumped up to claim their credit for helping to tear down the Soviet Union. Robert Gates, a former director of the CIA, and now Bush's Secretary of Defense, confessed as much in his memoirs entitled From the Shadows.

But even more revealing is an interview in the French Le Nouvel Observateur in 1998. It was conducted with former American National Security Adviser to Jimmy Carter, Zbigniew Brzezinski. He said: "According to the official version of history, CIA aid to the Mujahideen began during 1980, that is to say, after the Soviet Army invaded Afghanistan, on December 24th, 1979. But the reality, closely guarded until now, is completely otherwise. Indeed, it was July 3rd, 1979 that President Carter signed the first directive for secret aid to the opponents of the pro-Soviet regime in Kabul. And that very day, I wrote a note to the President in which I explained to him that in my opinion this aid was going to induce a Soviet military intervention."

This is a stunning confession, especially since America vilified the Soviet Union for being the aggressor in Afghanistan. Jimmy Carter scoffed at their "lies" when the Soviets claimed they were trying to fight against "the secret involvement of foreign influences [read: the United States] in Afghanistan." It was all so hypocritical. The holier-than-thou Jimmy Carter boycotted the 1980 Olympics in protest of the Soviet Union's incursion. He set into motion an international anti-Soviet propaganda machine condemning them as aggressors and a threat to world peace, when he himself was the instigator - the man who started a war that killed nearly 15,000 Russians, 7,000 Americans, 1.3 million Afghanis, and as many as six million additional people worldwide since that time.

When Council on Foreign Relation's head and National Security Advisor, Zbigniew Brzezinski, was asked if he regretted pulling off such a massive and deadly deception against the world, he replied, "Regret what? That secret operation was an excellent idea. It had the effect of drawing the Russians into the Afghan trap and you want me to regret it? The day that the Soviets officially crossed the border, I wrote to President Carter, in substance: We now have the opportunity of giving to the USSR its Vietnam War. Indeed, for almost 10 years, Moscow had to carry on a war unsupportable by the government, a conflict that brought about the demoralization and finally the breakup of the Soviet empire."

While this was a contributing factor to the demise of the USSR, America's support of the Soviet Union in World War II under somewhat similar pretenses, established the beast in the first place. In other words, when a nation deploys the strategy of the enemy of my enemy is my friend, they manufacture their next foe - and all too often they create a much bigger mess. And that is the legacy of Jimmy Carter, Zbigniew Brzezinski, the CFR and their ilk.

Brzezinski capped off his amazing confession with a callous disregard for the consequences of aiding and abetting Islamic fundamentalists. He asked: "What is most important to the history of the world? The Taliban or the collapse of the Soviet empire? Some stirred-up Muslims, or the liberation of Central Europe and the end of the Cold War?"

The interviewer, even in the pre-9/11 context of 1998, and being a member of the politically correct, Islam-tolerant French media, threw back, "Some stirred-up Moslems? It has been said and repeated: Islamic fundamentalism represents a world menace today." Brzezinski, angered at his interviewer's attempt to hold him accountable for his actions, responded, "Nonsense! It is said that the West had a global policy in regard to Islam. That is stupid. There isn't a global Islam. Look at Islam in a rational manner and without demagoguery or emotion. It is the leading religion of the world with 1.5 billion followers. But what is there in common among Saudi Arabian fundamentalism, moderate Morocco, Pakistan militarism, Egyptian pro-Western, or Central Asian secularism? Nothing more than what unites the Christian countries."

I'd like to see him tell that same story to the thousands of American families who have lost loved ones to Islam in Israel, Pakistan, Yemen, Somalia, the Sudan, Saudi Arabia, Iran, Kuwait, the Philippines, Indonesia, India, Kenya, Tanzania, Libya, Jordan, Syria, Lebanon, and Egypt. Or to the 3,000 American families who lost loved ones to Islam in New York City, Washington, D.C., and Pennsylvania on September 11th, 2001. Or to the 3,000 American families who have lost loved ones to Islam in the War of Terrorism since that time in Afghanistan and Iraq. The investment of $5 billion used to fund fundamentalist Muslims to fight the Soviets pales in comparison to the $550 billion the nation has had to spend undoing that damage in the past four years.

Brzezinski's ignorance of Islam, and his errant comparison of it to Christianity in the West, set the stage for an onslaught of Islamic terrorism that has engulfed the world in fear, enslaved a billion lives with its oppression, and killed 6 million people in thirty-five years. The enemy that he funded is now on the path of nuclear annihilation with America being the prime target. The U.S. had once again manufactured a more lethal enemy than it eliminated. It matters not if the White House occupant is Republican or Democrat. They are all Satan's little helpers and scheming scumbags.

The nature of al-Qaeda changed dramatically after Iraq invaded Kuwait in 1990. Osama bin Laden, who was like a son to the Saud family, negotiated for the right to defend the holy Islamic lands from the secular infidel Saddam Hussein. Fresh off of his victory over the Soviet Union, he promised tens of thousands of armed mujahideen, all amply equipped with American weapons. But he was rebuffed by the Saudi OPECers in favor of George H.W. Bush who had also applied for the job for personal reasons. A former ally, Osama bin Laden and al-Qaeda, were now foes.

The American weapon's test would turn out to be among the costliest victories in American history. As a direct result of being rebuked, Osama bin Laden renounced his government and condemned its dependency upon the United States. He demanded the closure of all American bases in Saudi Arabia and the complete withdrawal of the U.S. military - a demand that America has now met. He then issued his most famous fatwah. Following in the footsteps of his prophet and his mentor, bin Laden called for the Muslim world to rise up and kill Americans - anywhere and everywhere.

Most Americans are ignorant of these astonishing facts. Had America not initiated and financed the Afghan War, al-Qaeda would never have existed. Then, had America not deployed its troops to liberate one OPECer from another during Operation Desert Storm, 9/11 would not have occurred. Furthermore, after saving the Wahhabists from the secular Iraqis, and after investing another $5 billion in American military facilities in Saudi Arabia, the United States cut and ran. Not only are there no longer any American bases or troops in the Saud fiefdom, the oil-drenched royalty would not allow America to use its soil for the reinvasion of Iraq following 9/11. The simple truth is the United States and the rest of the non-Islamic world would have been better off with secular Iraqis controlling the fundamentally Islamic Kuwait and Saudi Arabia and with Soviet influence in Afghanistan and in the Caucasus.

But all that was undone. The flood of American troops into Saudi Arabia in 1991 revolted OBL and his Islamic associates to the point of rage. This led to Osama's intense hatred of his former ally, America, and to the undermining of the Saud fiefdom in Arabia - pushing them to be ever more repressive and Islamic to survive. Bin Laden then used America's presence in Arabia, and the "crusaders" attack on Iraq, to inflame anti-American sentiment among Muslim militants worldwide.

Bin Laden's criticisms of the Saud warlords got him expelled to the Sudan. There, the rejected boy pouted and then plotted his revenge: 9/11. Funded by donations through Islamic charitable fronts such as Benevolence International and Khalid bin Mahfouz's Muwaffaq Foundation, meaning "Blessed Relief," Osama and his brother-in-law, Muhammad Jamal Khalifa, reestablished their mujahideen operations in the Sudan. Their farms, on land confiscated from native Africans, were used to disseminate Salafi-fundamentalist Islam, to train Muslim militants, and to recruit jihadists from mosques in the Philippines, Indonesia, Egypt, Jordan, Syria, Somalia, Yemen, Pakistan, Lebanon, the Palestinian territories, Saudi Arabia, Germany, England, and the United States.

So that we understand the environment in which he flourished, Arab Muslims in the Sudan, before, during, and after OBL's tenure there, conducted the most horrific genocide since the Holocaust - killing 2.7 million non-Muslim Africans in 20 years. Many of the murderers were corrupted on bin Laden's farms in the Sudan, although to be fair, bin Laden was a late arrival to this party.

Osama bin Laden's terrorist activities included training in the Qur'an and the use of explosives. He was supported by the Muslim warlord, Dr. Hassan AbdAllah al-Turabi - the head of the National Islamic Front, and Sudanese dictator. As is true with most of the Islamic world, terror is state sponsored, the official business of Islam. Al-Turabi established Sharia law in the Sudan which made any religion other than Islam illegal. During this time, bin Laden and his Islamic pals began planning and executing a series of attacks. These include the murders of U.S. troops in Riyadh and Dahran, Saudi Arabia as well as the murderous bombings of American Embassies in Kenya and Tanzania. And all of this killing is interrelated because Islam is at the center of it all. It was there in 1993 and again in 2001.

Since the story of Sheikh Umar Abd al-Rahman (also transliterated Omar Abdel Rahman) was detailed on October 2, 1992 when his al-Gama'a al-Islamiyya (Islamic Group) hijacked a cruise ship on the Nile, we won't cover it again here. Suffice it to say for now, after being exonerated in an Islamic court of orchestrating the murder of Anwar Sadat (not because he didn't do it but because in Islam the assassination wasn't a crime), the spiritual leader of Sunni jihadists plotting to destroy America in Afghanistan, Pakistan, and Sudan, entered the United States on a visa granted by the U.S. Embassy in Khartoum.

That brings us to Ramzi Yousef, Rahman's agent, disciple, and coconspirator. His story dots the landscape of Islamic Terror Timeline so it behooves us to jump back and ahead in the chronology and bring his resume together for your consternation and enlightenment. If you are an American, you are not going to like what follows any more than what has just been revealed. We are sharing all of this with you because the 1993 bombing of the World Trade Center was a signpost on the road to Islamic conquest and should have served as a wake up call.

Born in 1968 in Fahaeel, Kuwait to a family of mixed Pakistani and Palestinian heritage, Ramzi Yousef is married and has two daughters. In early 1991, Yousef joined up with the ruthless Abu Sayyaf jihadist organization in the Philippines. He wanted Abu Sayyaf's spiritual leader, Abu Bakr Janjalani to use the Philippines as "a launching pad" for a worldwide terrorist campaign. During his meeting with Abu Bakr, Yousef presented himself as a member of the Executive Committee of the International Islamic Brigade, an organization that recruited jihadists for the Great Jihad being waged in Afghanistan. He claimed to have come to the Philippines representing Abdel Rahman, the spiritual leader of the Pakistani and American-backed mujahideen. Flush with American capital, Ramzi offered Janjalani's Abu Sayyaf considerable financial and logistical support.

Between prostration prayers to Allah, Janjalani and Yousef agreed to cooperate on a series of bombings and to coordinate attacks on the same day to show Muslim unity. Yousef suggested Janjalani bomb Manila's Airport in the Philippines, while "he would be the one to bomb buildings in the United States." Both men were true to their word. Ramzi not only bombed the World Trade Center, he was the author and facilitator of the Oklahoma City Murrah Federal Building attack.

To carry out these missions, Yousef entered the United States and moved into an apartment in Jersey City next to the mosque in which Omar Abdel Rahman, the blind cleric and Qur'an scholar, was prayer leader, or imam. He was joined in the apartment by an American-born Muslim, Abdul Rahman Yasin, and by a Palestinian Muslim, Muhammad Salameh. Yasin had used America's invasion of Iraq to flee Baghdad. Salameh capitalized on America's ignorance of the so-called Palestinians and their unworthy status.

Ramzi Yousef bought most of the materials used to make the bomb used in the 2-26-93 attack. Later that day, hours after delivering the bomb, Allah's little helper left New York on a flight for Karachi, Pakistan. Then, just two days after the World Trade Center attack, a bomb went off at the Zamboanga International Airport in Manila, further confirming the Abu Sayyaf connection.

Back in Pakistan (meaning the Land of Pure Islam), Yousef continued to promote international Islamic jihad. He lived comfortably in Karachi, linking up with a variety of Islamic political and religious groups including the fundamentalist Sapha-i-Sahaba. Pakistan is the world's leading manufacturer of terrorists so it should be no surprise that the Kuwaiti Yousef called Pakistan home, or that the Taliban and al-Qaeda do as well.

Free to travel, the globe trotting Yousef returned to the Philippines in early 1994 to work on his plans to blow up the Oklahoma City Federal building, to test his scheme to blow up a dozen intercontinental airliners in flight, and to further his plot to use civilian aircraft as suicide bombers.

However, the second attack coordinated in the Philippines between Ramzi Yousef and the Abu Sayyaf group failed. In March 1994, they had schemed to blow up the Israeli Embassy in Bangkok, Thailand with an ammonium nitrate fuel oil bomb. Unable to drive, the bomb delivery team crashed the truck carrying the bomb en route. The Muslim driver was found dead, floating in a mess of fertilizer and crude. It isn't a coincidence that many of the same people would use their hatred of Jews, the same combustible materials, and the same delivery strategy to blow up the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building in Oklahoma City the following year.

While living the good life in Pakistan, Yousef was implicated in the June 1994 bombing of a Shiite religious shrine in Mashad, Iran. That blast killed 26 Shia Muslims and injured 170 more. There was considerable evidence that the Abu Sayyaf Group was also involved.

A few months later, Yousef began plotting the assassination of Pakistani Prime Minister Bhutto. His issue with the elected leader was that he was soft on Islamic terrorism and was shortchanging jihadist groups financed by the ISI. In fact it was for this very reason that General Musharaf eventually deposed Bhutto. But on this day, in the summer of 1994, Ramzi's plan blew up in his face when a bomb he was making in a Karachi apartment detonated prematurely. Between July 23rd and August 6th, Yousef, who was as famous as any Islamic terrorist alive, was treated in and released from two Pakistani hospitals. He sustained eye damage and has scars on his fingers. Allergic to the truth, or perhaps just infatuated with killing, the good Muslim claimed to have received his injuries while training Bosnian Muslims bound for Croatia to kill Serbian Christians.

In September 1994, Ramzi Yousef and his Abu Sayyaf associates tried a second time to assassinate Pakistani Prime Minister Bhutto, allegedly because he was deemed insufficiently Islamic.

Then on December 11, 1994, while aboard a Tokyo-bound Philippines Airlines flight, Yousef assembled a bomb comprised of liquids he had disguised in cosmetic containers and placed under his own seat. The explosive combination of diluted nitroglycerine (which was carried aboard in a contact lens cleaner bottle) and a wristwatch timer, was part of a "feasibility study" for other similar bombings being planned on a much larger scale. After flying from Manila to Cebu, Yousef got off the plane, leaving the explosive device under seat 26-K. When his liquid bomb went off, it killed the Japanese businessman sitting there and injured 10 other passengers. The plane managed to make a safe emergency landing in Okinawa.

Ramzi hadn't used a sufficient amount of liquid explosives to blow the aircraft out of the sky. His calculations had been errant once again. However, that was not the end of this story. An alleged reenactment of his plan more than a decade later in London, keeps all airline passengers from carrying beverages and cosmetics aboard commercial airliners. It would have been easier and safer to ban Muslims.

The Abu Sayyat Group and Ramzi Yousef carried out the attack as a "practice run" for their Bojinka plot, which was designed to blow up 10 to 12 jumbo jets as they crossed the Pacific and Atlantic en route to America.

Yousef's Islamic connections in NYC, along with the fact that a similar explosion from the exact same position brought down TWA flight 800 on July 17, 1996, killing all 230 aboard, has caused many to see these events as related.

A few days later, in January 1995, investigators in the Philippines uncovered a plot to assassinate Pope John Paul II during his planned visit to Manila later this month. These Muslim misfits, working with Ramzi Yousef and Abu Sayyaf were also shown to be working on the implementation of their plan to create undetectable liquid bombs which, larger than the one used by Yousef the previous year, would be smuggled onto a dozen U.S. jumbo jets en route from the Philippines, Indonesia, and Malaysia to the United States. They wanted to blow them all up in a coordinated attack over the ocean so all would die and no evidence would ever be found.

The Philippine investigators also learned that these same Muslims who were also involved in the first World Trade Center and Oklahoma Federal Building bombings, were actively engaged in the business of providing flight training for Muslim pilots in American flight schools. The purpose was to hijack passenger airliners and then fly them into strategic American targets, turning the civilian planes into suicide bombers. Among their targets was the CIA headquarters in Langley, Virginia, the Pentagon, the White House, the World Trade Center in New York, the Sears Tower in Chicago, the Transamerica building in San Francisco, and an undisclosed U.S. nuclear facility. The Philippine government gave all of this information to the American State Department and CIA. The 9/11/2001 attack was not a surprise to them.

On February 7, 1995, the two-year hunt for Yousef ended at a guesthouse in Islamabad, Pakistan. After two assassination attempts he had worn out his welcome. Yousef was betrayed by a South African Muslim student, Ishtiaq Parker, who hoped to collect part of the $2 million reward offered by the FBI for information leading to his capture.

On March 8, 1995 Sunni Muslims in Pakistan killed two U.S. diplomats and injured a third, in an attack on a van taking them to work at the U.S. Consulate in Karachi. The Muslim militants, working for the Abu Sayyaf Group, said through their press agency that it was in revenge for the World Trade Center bombing arrests. Since Ramzi Yousef and his truck-bombing pals were good Muslims following Allah's orders and Muhammad's example, they were heroes, not villains. Crime was a matter of perspective.

Then on April 19th, 1995, in a terrorist plot American politicians don't want linked to Islam, but is, a truck bomb outside the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building in downtown Oklahoma City killed 168 people (19 of whom are children) and injured 600 others. The inspiration, strategy, financing, staffing and technical support came from Muslims in the Philippines with links to Pakistan, Iraq, and Egypt - and most especially Ramzi Yousef, Sheikh Rahman, and Abu Sayyaf leader Abu Bakr Janjalani. The reason for this marriage of neo-fascists with jihadists is that Nazism and Islam apart from time and place are indistinguishable doctrines.

In the early 1990s, Terry Nichols, a neo-Nazi, attended a Muslim militant meeting on the predominantly Islamic island of Mindanao, in the Philippines. As we have seen, and shall continue to witness, the Philippines was now a hotbed of fundamentalist Islamic activities. Terrorists, Ramzi Yousef, Abdul Hakim Murad, and Wali Khan Amin Shah, were all present at the meeting. The purpose of the session was to provide training in the making and handling bombs sizable enough to destroy large buildings like the World Trade Center in New York City and the Murrah Federal Building in Oklahoma City.

While we know that all the documents Sandy Burger, Clinton's National Security Advisor, stole from the National Archives, covered issues critical of the administrations handling of Islamic terrorism, I am one of many who believe that FBI reports detailing the meeting between Nichols and Yousef were among the hundreds of classified forms he stuffed into his socks and down his pants. Clinton and Reno were all too happy to blame the Oklahoma City bombing on right-wing wackos. The fact it was perpetrated by Muslims, and tied directly to the first and second bombings of the World Trade Center, made them look like they were sleeping on the job. This remains the only rational explanation of Sandy "Burglar's" illegal escapade.

Iraq expert, Dr. Laurie Mylroie, author of The War Against America, and a consultant to the McVeigh defense team, told Insight Magazine that "the connection between Terry Nichols, the Philippines, and Ramzi Yousef, the man responsible for the first World trade Center bombing, was a very important part of the puzzle that the FBI knew about but did not pursue because the Clinton administration didn't like where that would lead them." Dr. Mylroie's book marshals convincing evidence that Ramzi Yousef was acting as an agent for Saddam Hussein as he tried to seek revenge for Americans ousting him from Kuwait. The truth is that he was working for Omar Rahman and Abu Sayyaf, but at least Dr. Mylroie was close.

The foreword to The War Against America was penned by former CIA Director James Woolsey, just two weeks after the September 11th attacks. In that piece and other articles since the Murrah Federal Building bombing, Woolsey has expressed his support for her thesis. He scorches the Clinton administration (under which he served) for an unwillingness to look at the evidence of Islamic state sponsorship of these acts.

Jayna Davis, an investigative reporter for the Oklahoma City NBC affiliate, KFOR-TV, interviewed eyewitnesses who had seen individuals identified as being of Middle Eastern extraction speeding away from the Murrah Building in a pickup truck immediately before the blast. Her investigative reports pointed to an Iraqi refugee, a former Republican Guard, who was living in Oklahoma City. He had come to the U.S. under a controversial Clinton program that had brought several thousand Iraqis here for resettlement without screening or security checks to weed out terrorists posing as students. Jayna Davis also located credible witnesses who placed this Iraqi in the company of Timothy McVeigh in the days prior to the bombing.

KFOR aired several stories with video footage of the Islamic bombing suspect, but digitally blurred his face and did not identify him by name. They called him John Doe No. 2, and presented considerable evidence pointing to his involvement in the crime. They asked why federal authorities were completely uninterested in questioning him or looking at the evidence.

Rather than looking objectively at Jayna Davis' or Dr. Laurie Mylroie's research, the national media adopted the Bill Clinton-Janet Reno thesis that the bombing was a domestic "right-wing" attack. While it suited them politically, a careful review of the evidence these investigations uncovered, will convince all but the jaundiced that Islam was at the very least, a co-conspirator. In fact, without Yousef's fuel and aluminum nitrate bomb making instructions, Terry Nichols and Timothy McVeigh could never have built their exploding truck. In their previous attempts, which they videotaped, they hadn't been able to blow up a trash can.

In September 1996, Yousef was convicted of conspiracy to bomb 11 U.S. jumbo jets over the Pacific Ocean. He received a mandatory life sentence. Yousef was later convicted for his involvement in the 2/26/1993 World Trade Center bombing, and he received a sentence of 240 years in prison without the possibility of parole.

Before we leave the scene of the crime, the foreshadowing of what would come compels us to share some of what we know about Ramzi Yousef's and Sheikh Rahman's accomplices in the February 1993 World Trade Center bombing. First among them was Mahmud Abouhalima. He was born 1959 in Kafr al-Dawar, Egypt, the first of four sons to a mill foreman. As a teenager Abouhalima joined the Islamic Group, Omar Adel Rahman's al-Gama'a al-Islamiyya.

Mahmud Abouhalima entered Alexandria University to study Islamic education, but he dropped out in 1981 and left Egypt. In September of that year, he was granted a visa to visit Germany as a tourist. Upon arriving in Munich, Abouhalima sought political asylum, claiming that he faced persecution in Egypt because of his membership in the Muslim Brotherhood - the forefather of Gama'a Islamiyya. He was in essence saying that he was such a good, and thus jihadist, Muslim, even Egypt thought he was too indoctrinated and violent to live peacefully. While in Munich, Abouhalima stayed at the Islamic Center, which was located in a suburb on the city's north side.

In October 1982, Mahmud Abouhalima's request for asylum was denied. It wasn't because Germany had anything against fundamentalist, and thus jihadist Islam, but that they didn't want to offend Egypt which was a significant consumer of German wares. In an effort to remain in Germany, the scheming jihadist proposed to a 34-year-old German nurse named Renate Soika who had a history of alcoholism and psychiatric problems. They were married at the city hall in December, enabling Abouhalima to remain in the country. They divorced in February 1985, but before his divorce to Soika was finalized, Abouhalima had already married a 21-year-old German woman named Marianne Weber in a Muslim ceremony at the Islamic Center.

In the fall of 1985, Abouhalima and Weber flew to the United States for a three-week visit. They settled in Brooklyn and never returned to Germany. Six months after arriving in America, Abouhalima's tourist visa expired. However, Congress had just authorized an amnesty plan for more than one million illegal aliens. Mahmud Abouhalima applied for amnesty in 1986, receiving temporary legal residence in 1988. The Islamic terrorist became a permanent resident two years later.

After receiving a Green Card in 1986, Abouhalima earned a chauffeur's license and proceeded to drive taxicabs in New York City. His license was suspended ten times in five years for failing to respond to summonses for traffic violations. He regularly ran red lights, drove without a license, and neglected to have his car registered or inspected. Once, he was found guilty of driving with broken meter seals, evidence he had attempted to overcharge his patrons. Islam is consistent if nothing else. And the moral of the story is: never trust a Muslim.

In his free time, Mahmud Abouhalima worked for a Brooklyn tax exempt charity that raised money for Muslim Mujahideen. He personally recruited hundreds of young American Muslims to join the fight. Starting in late 1988, Abouhalima even took several trips to Pakistan, where he was trained as a terrorist in Peshawar. When he last returned from Pakistan in July 1990, Mahmud Abouhalima was wearing combat fatigues and army boots.

When Sheik Omar Rahman arrived in the United States in 1990, Abouhalima began serving as his bodyguard and driver. Mahmud's spiritual life revolved around two mosques in Muslim neighborhoods: Abu Bakr in Brooklyn and al-Salam in Jersey City, where the blind Islamic cleric and Qur'an scholar delivered his hateful diatribes against secularism generally, and America specifically.

On March 5th, 1993, just one week after the bomb ripped through the World Trade Center, Abouhalima fled the United States, making his way to the friendly confines of Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. As a Rahman devotee, the jihadist then made the mistake of returning to his hometown in Egypt, where he was promptly captured by Egyptian authorities. Upon confessing his involvement in the WTC bombing, Allah's apprentice was flown back to the United States to stand trial.

In March 1994, Mahmud Abouhalima and three co-defendants were convicted in all counts of conspiracy, explosives charges, and assault for the World Trade Center bombing. He received a sentence of 240 years in prison with no possibility of parole.

Moving on to Nidal Ayyad, we learn that he was also born in Kuwait to Palestinian parents. Once again, the Kuwaiti educational system had manufactured an Islamic terrorist. Ayyad emigrated to the United States in October 1985 and began studying at Rutgers University in New Brunswick, New Jersey. Surprisingly for a Muslim, but not for a terrorist, Ayyad majored in chemical and biochemical engineering and graduated in January 1991. Two months later in March, he became a U.S. citizen. Ayyad was married in Amman, Jordan in 1992.

Nidal Ayyad was employed as a research engineer for Allied Signal in Morristown, New Jersey. He worked with chemicals used in pharmaceuticals and solvents. According to investigators, Ayyad shared a bank account with Mohammed Salameh, a co-conspirator in the World Trade Center attack in 1993. At least $8,000 was transferred by wire from Europe into the joint bank account, which was later withdrawn by Salameh to help offset the cost of the bombing. Ayyad accompanied Salameh on February 23rd, the day he rented a yellow Ryder van that these murdering Muslims filled with 500 pounds of explosive materials. Together, they drove the bomb into a sub-basement of the World Trade Center and set the timer.

Mohammed Salameh had Nidal Ayyad's business card in his pocket when he was arrested. Additionally, Mohammed telephoned Nidal four times the day before the February 26th bombing from the public storage locker where the explosive chemicals were mixed.

In March 1994, Nidal Ayyad was convicted on all counts of conspiracy, explosives charges, and assault for the World Trade Center bombing. He received a sentence of 240 years in prison with no possibility of parole and was sent to a maximum-security U.S. penitentiary in Lewisburg, Pennsylvania.

Ayyad is also alleged to have ties to El Sayyid Nosair, who was acquitted in the trial for the 1990 assassination of Israeli Rabbi Meir Kahane in Manhattan, but was later convicted of related charges by a jury which didn't capitulate under Islamic threats.

The next Muslim in our parade is Mohammed Salameh. He was born in Amman, Jordan to Palestinian parents in 1968. He attempted to study Islamic law and then engineering, but dropped out of Jordan University before completing his studies.

In 1988, after several years of being unemployed in Amman, Salameh moved to the United States. Mohammed entered the U.S. on a tourist visa and therefore became an illegal alien when it expired. He lived in Jersey City, New Jersey with six other Muslims in an immigrant district known as "Egyptian City" across the Hudson River from New York.

On March 4, 1993 Salameh was arrested in connection with the World Trade Center bombing. He was accused of renting the van that carried the explosives. Salameh provided the key to cracking the case after he returned to the Ryder dealership in Jersey City to demand a refund of his deposit on the vehicle that he had previously reported stolen. Investigators found sufficient vehicle fragments at the scene of the crime with identification numbers matching the one Salameh had rented, confirming his involvement. After his rental papers tested positive for chemical nitrates, the case against Allah's boys became irrefutable. In March 1994, Salameh was sentenced to life in prison with no possibility of parole.

Moving on to Abdul Rahman Yasin, he was born in April 1960 in Bloomington, Indiana. His father was a graduate student at the University of Indiana. After spending much of his youth in Iraq, Yasin returned to the United States in the early 1990s to live with his mother and brother in Jersey City. There, he met Ramzi Yousef, who recruited Yasin. Abdul helped mix the chemicals used in the blast, at one point severely burning his leg. And it should be noted, the mix of nitrates and fuel oil were identical to that used by Yousef in his attempt to blow up the Israeli Embassy in Thailand and the Murrah Federal Building in Oklahoma City.

Yasin lived with several other World Trade Center conspirators at the 34 Kensington Avenue apartment in Jersey City. The FBI initially detained Yasin after the attack and then released him. After they realized their mistake, the FBI placed Abdul Yasin on the list of Most Wanted terrorists. However, Abdul Rahman Yasin had already fled the country. On the evening of March 5th, Yasin departed the United States on a Royal Jordanian Airlines flight.

A reporter for ABC News is said to have spotted Yasin in Baghdad in 1994 which isn't surprising since he had family there. Documents recovered from Iraq indicate that Yasin not only received safe haven but may also have worked for the Ba'athist regime in the years following the first World Trade Center bombing.

In an interview with the CBS News program 60 Minutes in June 2002, Abdul Yasin admitted his involvement in the World Trade Center bombing and expressed regret for what he had done. While he said he was sorry for what happened, Abdul Rahman Yasin was unwilling to turn himself in and is still at large, living as a hero in lands corrupted by Islam. Like his religion, he was a sorry soul. And like his religion, he has not yet been held accountable.
