Whatever Happened to the America of 9/12?
By FRANK RICH
Published: September 10, 2006



The destruction of post-9/11 unity, both in this nation and in the world, is as much a cause for mourning on the fifth anniversary as the attack itself.


“THE most famous picture nobody’s ever seen” is how the Associated Press photographer Richard Drew has referred to his photo of an unidentified World Trade Center victim hurtling to his death on 9/11. It appeared in some newspapers, including this one, on 9/12 but was soon shelved. “In the most photographed and videotaped day in the history of the world,” Tom Junod later wrote in Esquire, “the images of people jumping were the only images that became, by consensus, taboo.”

Five years later, Mr. Drew’s “falling man” remains a horrific artifact of the day that was supposed to change everything and did not. But there’s another taboo 9/11 photo, about life rather than death, that is equally shocking in its way, so much so that Thomas Hoepker of Magnum Photos kept it under wraps for four years.

ISLAM THE DISGUSTING ARAB ENEMY

10.09.2006 16:14

just wondering some questions about islam...

apart from blowing up trains, buses, planes, yousrselves, buildings, murdering children, women, Jews and Christians (referred to as "infidels"); destroying the world trade centre and most unemployed/unemployable people is there anything that the muslims have done to contribute uesfully to society?

Only the muslims justify such disgusting acts of murder and terrorism for their false religion the worship of the pagan g-d allat; where the arabic allah comes from.

Let us destroy this pagan religion, the religion which causes all the problems in the world, from poverty to terrorism, the only religion which justifies murder, rape, suicide because “we are occupied” and “being mistreated because of “islamophobia””

More importantly, if you can think of something that the arabs and muslim arabs have contributed to the world I would please like to know. Don’t say the oil that the filthy arabs sit on because they are too fucking stupid to work out how to refine it; they’re too busy raping their wives and eating lambs they murdered the night before. It was the Americans and yes, the arabs hate to admit, the Jews who created fractional distillation of oil into naptha, kerosine and oil and implemented the factories and refineries in the muslim arab nazi terrorist pig countries. In fact, as Yasser Arafat said “ I am proud for my one true invention. The creation of plane hijackings”. Arabs also have a wonderful mind for blowing up all sorts of transport BUT they also invented sucidie bombing – ingenious! They are sooo clever are’nt they! “It’s because of EEZ—RAAA-ELLL and OOOLLLAH will deal will them” “diii ammmericaaans are infeeedells!!!” as the arabs so often say in the pitiful stupid minds.

PALESTINE HAS NEVER, WILL NEVER EXIST. ISRAEL WILL BE FREE FROM THE RIVER AND TO THE SEA AND AS OVER 6 MAJOR WARS WITH MORE THAN ONE MUSLIM ARAB NAZI TERRORIST ARMY HAS SHOWN, THE JEWS ARE ABLE TO FIGHT THE MUSLIM ENEMY AND DESTROY THE MUSLIM HOPE OF DESTRUCTION OF THE JEWS. ISRAEL WILL BE FREE FROM THE RIVER AND TO THE SEA; DESPITE THE PATHETIC MUSLIMS AND COMMUNISTS WHO THINK OTHERWISE. EVERY WAR, EVERY VICTORY, EVERY INCH OF ISRAELI LAND IS FOR THE JEWS.

AND HENCE NO, THERE IS NO “VICTORY TO THE INITFADA” AS EVERY INTIFADA HAS BEEN CRUSHED. WHETHER IT MEANS BUILDING A WALL OR CRUSHING THEIR PATHETIC CLAY HOMES WE ALWAYS WIN. UNFORTUNATELY THE LEFTIST EHUD SMOLMERT DOES NOT GO FAR ENOUGH TO WIPE THE MUSLIM FILTHY ENEMY OFF THIS PLANET.

SO LETS FACE IT – THESE DISGUSTING PEOPLE NEED TO LEARN THAT WE WANT DEMOCRACY, WE REJECT ISLAM, THE TERRORIST, MURDERING RELIGION.
