During the Republican debate earlier this month, Ron Paul was vilified by the media and fellow Republicans because of his comments made about the attacks on September 11. After insinuating the attacks occurred due to American foreign policy, Dr. Paul said “I’m suggesting that we listen to the people who attacked us and the reason they did it, and they are delighted that we’re over there because Osama bin Laden has said, “I am glad you’re over on our sand because we can target you so much easier.” They have already now since that time — (bell rings) — have killed 3,400 of our men, and I don’t think it was necessary.

Well Dr. Paul, let’s “listen” to what they are saying now, so we can avoid upsetting them in the future as you have advocated:

The man in the video is Adam Yehiye Gadahn, who also goes by the name Azzam al-Amriki. Gadahn who is an American citizen currently under indictment for treason for aiding al-Qaeda, apparently is speaking on behalf of the terrorist group in the above video. His demands give us an insight as to what would be expected of our country in order to avoid any future terrorist attacks against our civilian population.

1. “Pull every last one of your soldiers, spies, security advisors, trainers, attachés and so on out of every Muslim land from Afghanistan to Zanzibar”

I suppose this would mean abandoning our embassies in those Countries as well. Even the most liberal of Americans must believe it would be a bad idea to remove all personnel from the Middle East. The intelligence gathered by these men and women is priceless.

2. “Stop all support and aid, military, political, economic or otherwise for the 56 plus apostate regimes of the Muslim world and abandon them to their well deserved fait at the hands of the soldiers of Islam”

I wonder what Amnesty International would say if we gave in to this demand? We pull all our troops out of the area, offering no military or humanitarian aid to the “56 plus apostate regimes”, and sit back an watch them get slaughtered.

3. “End all support moral, military, economic, political or otherwise to the bastard State of Israel and ban your citizens, Zionist Jews, Zionist Christians and the rest from traveling to occupied Palestine or settling there”

This unfortunately is something a growing number of Americans believe is the real reason for the attacks on September 11. This goes back to the famous dictum “Repeat a lie often enough and the people will believe it”.

4. “Cease all interference in the religion, society, politics and governance of the Muslim world and leave us alone to establish the Islamic Sura State which will unite the Muslims of Earth in truth and justice. A single word of American protest shall be silenced by a thousand Islamic bombs.”

This is interesting, he refers here to the “Islamic Sura State”. The term Sura in Arabic means “something enclosed or surrounded by a fence or wall.” I am sure quite a few Americans would offer to assist in building that wall!

5. “Put an end to all forms of interference in the education curricula and information media of the Islamic world, and impose a blanket ban on all broadcast to our region, especially those designed to alter or destroy the faith, minds, morals, and values of our people.”

Basically what he is saying here is, stop showing our people how good you have it in America! No broadcasts of our news or television shows to the Islamic world would mean the people in that region would not be aware that women are not second class citizens, and it is not necessary to kill anyone who does not believe in your God.

6. “Free all Muslim captives from your prisons, detention facilities, and concentration camps, regardless of wether they have been recipients of what you call a fair trial or not”

Apparently it is not enough just to alter or foreign policy, we now have to alter our domestic policy. It is important to note, he is not only referring to those being detained at Guantanamo, he is demanding the release of all Muslims from our prisons.

He then goes on to inform us that simply pulling our soldiers out of Iraq would not be enough to avoid a future attack. All of the above demands must be met in order to avoid experiencing “things which will make you forget all about the horrors of September 11th”.

One thing needs to be clear here. The attacks of September 11 did not occur because of our presence in Iran, as Dr. Paul suggested, nor did it occur due to our support of Israel as some media figures have suggested. These attacks occurred because we allow our people certain freedoms, such as the freedom to choose which religion to follow. Islamic extremists have called for all Americans to convert to Islam or face the soldiers of Allah, and those soldiers as we are now aware do not follow the rules of war.

For those of you still not convinced we are actively engaged in a war, please watch this video one more time. Pay close attention to the demands which must be met in order to avoid future conflicts with these extremists, along with the threats made for not meeting those demands, and ask yourself would the ends justify the means?
