Summary

Hank Hanegraaff, president of the Christian Research Institute and host of the Bible Answer Man broadcast, offers some thoughts on the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001. In New York City, the National September 11 Memorial and Museum hosted an annual ceremony commemorating and honoring the nearly 3,000 lives lost twenty-one years ago. A reminder that the oil-rich Middle East is full of fantastically wealthy Muslims prepared to employ their resources for the sake of jihad. According to former Democratic senator Bob Graham, Saudi Arabia had direct ties to the massacres of September 11, 2001. But this is whitewashed in the Western world, where sharia-subservient states, including Saudi Arabia, are consistently portrayed as peace-loving allies in the fight against terrorism. Little wonder then that when the Grand Mufti of Saudi Arabia declared it necessary to destroy every church in the whole of the Arabian Peninsula, Western governments did not so much as blink. Worse yet, Western governments, along with academic institutions and media outlets have proven themselves to be cobelligerents with the Wahhabis of Saudi Arabia in exporting a false narrative on Islam. However, the rebuilding of the Saint Nicholas Shrine at Ground Zero provides a glimmer of hope that Christians in the West may once again take the only true and transformational faith as seriously as the Saudi’s do the Islamic counterfeit.

0:21.3	And today's short, I want to share some thoughts on the Manhattan massacre that took place
0:26.4	21 years ago.
0:28.6	Because a week or so ago, Americans across the country remembered the terrorist attacks.
0:36.6	They were a reminder that the oil-rich Middle East is full of fantastically wealthy Muslims,

0:52.3	In my book Muslim, what you need to know about the world's fastest growing religion,
0:58.0	I quote Thomas Friedman.
1:00.0	He wrote a provocative New York Times piece that was titled Our Radical Islamic BFF, Saudi Arabia.
1:08.0	And in that piece, he points out that the title, greatest purveyor of radical
1:14.0	Islam doesn't belong to the Iranians. He said it's not even close. That title belongs to Saudi
1:22.8	Arabia. Friedman went on to say that America has never called them on that. Why? Well, because we're
1:33.1	addicted to their oil and addicts never tell the truth to their pushers. Instead, America enables
1:44.0	Saudi terror lords to peddle their poisonous propaganda pills across the planet with impunity.

2:27.3	Saudi Arabia had direct ties to the massacres a September 11, 2001, 21 years ago.
2:36.0	He said that there's a solid case for the position that there was significant Saudi
