Clarification please, The guys who hijacked the 9/11 planes *were* Muslim right?

Question

AND they did it because thier religion promised them a reward for doing it right?

I got a bunch of thumbs down for pointing this out on another question.

Answer 1

That is right.



They were Muslim. Islam promises a heavenly reward for those who die fighting "infidels," which anyone who is not a muslim is considered.



It's not politically correct to point it out, but that doesn't mean it isn't the truth.



Good for you for not being afraid to speak the truth.

Answer 2

It's really NOT about Islam. I am not a Muslim. However, the little I do know about Islam is that it is a religion designed to give people hope and to help them improve themselves. A few extremists hijack planes, strap on bombs and do these things in the name of Islam. It doesn't indict the whole religion any more than some coach in Arkansas praying for his High School team to win on the way to a game make Christianity trivial. Christians have commit ed murder, invasions, genocide in the name of God. Does that make Christianity all bad? As far as how the victims of hijackings should feel? Whatever they need to feel. However, if they want to heal from the trauma, they need to express their anger, fear, sadness, grief, whatever, and eventually move on. I was beat up by a couple of African Americans when I was 17. Does this mean I should go around beating up all blacks? There are bad apples in every religion, every race, every neighborhood, and every family. Jerkitis (being a jerk) is an equal opportunity problem. The reason these terrorists hijack planes is because they can. They used to do it in Israel. Have you heard of an el Al plane being hijacked recently? The Israelis have much better security than us Americans do. We should learn from them.

Answer 3

The fundamentalist extremists who hijacked the planes on 9/11 claimed that they were Muslim and believed that they were going to rewarded due to the righteousness of their jihad. Jihad being the obligation to fight on behalf of his beliefs, against nonbelievers and corrupters of belief meaning the Jews and the United States. One German investigator who is quoted from a book by Terry McDermott sums up the characteristics and mindset of the 9/11 jihadists: "They are not talking about daily life stuff, such as buying cars -- they buy cars, but they don't talk about it, they talk about religion most of the time . . . these people are just living for their religion, meaning for them that they just live now for their life after death, the paradise. They want to live obeying their God, so they can enter paradise. Everything else doesn't matter." There are other books and articles out there that will tell you the same thing. The belief of the 9/11 hijackers is not indicative of all Muslims and their religious beliefs or doctrines. So please do not assume that ALL Muslims believe what the hijackers believed. The hijackers were led to a brand of radical extremism that claims killing the infidel to be righteous and good in order to save the Muslim religion from Western influence.

Answer 4

From what I understand yes they were Muslim. In that religion you are promised certain things. As for how they themselves interpret what was written makes all the difference. You can read anything and all will find a different meaning behind what is said. These people were brain washed into believing something that wasn't correct. They were told what to believe instead of reading and believing for themselves. The chose to believe what some power maniac wanted them to believe. And we all know from growing up that you can influence someone to think that something is right and correct. America is the hated country. We can't help that. What we have here is so special and so strong that some can't comprehend it. I know some people who believe in the Muslim religion and they don't believe what these people believed. It's sad and it's unfortunate that all Muslims are now grouped into one category. When most are very nice loving people.

Answer 5

Yes they are muslim and yes they did it because of the Koran. What is interesting is that the muslim community did not say that there is no way these guys could be Muslim, instead some just labeled them extremist muslims, which indicates to me that what they did is not contrary to their teachings. If it were a bunch of Christians that did this their faith would be in question by many, and never would we think they are just extremist. Like Jones town and David Keresh's followers, they were labeled as a cult by the Christian community.

Answer 6

1- What is your confirmed source for this piece of information? (That those who hijacked the 9/11 planes were Muslims)



2- No, Islam does not promise a reward for those who kill and frighten safe civilian people, on the contrary, it's forbidden and if Muslims do so, they will be punished in Judgment Day even if they attacked non-Muslims.

Answer 7

Yes and Yes. There are no wives in heaven as heaven is a spiritual place not where there is sex going on!



Just think about it. How outrageous to teach a false doctrine about how many wives you get in heaven! --- And when you blow up and murder innocent people.



My question has always been: What do the women get in heaven; 25 husbands?? Or is it 50? Such ludicris crap!



EDIT:



Thanks TriadBeast. If you are truly correct and without error, then this Muslim, Islamic false religion is truly delusional. Why are there so many Muslim/Islamic women if it is taught by this religion that they go to hell? This is outrageous. False religions...blah anymore.

Answer 8

They were Muslim, and most of them were Saudi Arabian, not Iraqi.

The fact that some people wildly misinterpret their religion in order to do horrible things they really want to do anyway is not confined to those of the Muslim faith, as you surely know. Christians, throughout history, have very often done the same thing "for the glory of god."

Tinman, not all terrorists are Muslim. What about the Irish Republican Army? What about Timothy McVeigh? Etc. etc. etc.

Answer 9

Well, you get a thumbs up from me. One cannot deny history and for the present, the Muslim have made there intentions known. Its no secret. Its that we here in the west have the hidden agenda of the media on the one hand and the truth on the hand. The media seeks to tone down the reports of all terrorism and blame the USA for all of the worlds woes.

While all Muslims may not be terrorist, all terrorist are Muslims. The moderate Muslims have allowed for their religion to be hijacked by a certain percentage of radicals.

Answer 10

Yes, they were Muslim extremists, not to be confused with the average Islamist. The biggest problem is that the average Muslim is unwilling to stand up and decry the actions of those extremists.



Additional comment in response to a private message

:

"You have received a message from another user!



From: hints_dont_work



Subject: muslims?



Message: your silly lil comment about muslims not standing up, they do just because good media doesn't sell as much as bad media doesn't mean you should close your eyes "







I said that average Muslims do not speak out. There are some extraordinarily brave Muslims speaking out but unfortunately, their countries are so unsafe due to extremists, they usually don't survive very long. .





This private message is just another example that one cannot even speak truthfully to those who refuse to listen to the truth. I would guess that this answerer actually supports the efforts of Al Queda and the similar ilk who find justification for their violence against innocents in their holy book. BTW American soldiers are killing fighters and insurgents, these scumbags are killing civilians and doing so at a rate of ten times that of the U.S. military. No, we are not going to leave the Arabian penninsula just because some thugs want us to.The USA is the main reason there is any wealth and democracy in the region, the suffering and violence existed long before we arrived..

Answer 11

The guys who did 9/11 represented the "political/fundamentalist/extremist" point of view of people using Islam and Muslims as their mantra and billboard sign to justify what they did. It wasn't about Muslims or Islam or anything like that that they would love for you to believe. Its about fanatics who distort what Islam is all about. This by the way is coming from a Christian.

Answer 12

Well, no, Islam does not promise a reward for killing innocent people.



Ever wonder theres a reason why Al-Qaeda and Bin Laden are outlaws hiding in the mountains somewhere?

Answer 13

The hijackers were an off-brand of Islam; they were Sunni jihadists... So, technically speaking, they were Muslim - However, to just simply state that "the hijackers from 9/11 were Muslim" will mostly draw fire from non-fanatic Muslims.



You see the distinction?

Answer 14

Yes they were Muslim according to records. However, I think they were just fanatics and were hiding behind the religion for their actions. But only they know for sure why they did it, everything else is pure speculation.

Answer 15

and when the airports shut down after 9-11 it was a christian who made the exception that sent the leaders of the muslim group into safety right?



http://gypsys-emporium.com

Answer 16

Yes, and the man who started World War 2 and killed millions of Jews in gas chambers was a Christian and a good, practicing Catholic.



What's your point?

Answer 17

Yes

Answer 18

actually the religion of Islam promises Hell for the slaughter of the innocent. But these guys were brainwashed by hate preaching imams.( muslim preachers) and terrorist leaders.

Answer 19

Yes, they were Muslims. And no one has the power to carry out any promises given to them. : )

Answer 20

As far as we know they were muslims but their religion doesn't promise any such reward.



The reason you've got tumbs down is because not only muslims are wrongdoers in this world.

Answer 21

yes the were Muslims. but they were deviated and brainwashed. true Islam does not promote such actions

Answer 22

no the planes were remote controled.



Muslin was a way to make a population of christians to hate and blindly back more inside jobs.

Answer 23

Let me ask you a question...How does one plane destroy a whole building and make it fall to pieces? The plane barely had an effect on the Twin Towers falling. There were bombs set in the buildings and THEY were what made the buildings fall. And you know who did that to the buildings? OUR GOVERNMENT. There are videos proving this. Don't believe me? Search it on Youtube or Google Videos. It's the truth and they don't want you knowing it.

Answer 24

yes



but dont go and judge muslims for it



after all it was some bad men who did it not normal people..you probly dont get what i'm sayin but hey!

Answer 25

yes, yes and yes.

they were very muslim, more muslim in fact than non-terrorists (seriously, with all the 'smite of thier necks and fingertips' and 'wage war agianst the unbelievers' etc etc.)\







edit: charburker, don't you know muslims are taught that muslim women go to hell?

Answer 26

No, They were agnostic English men who got lost during a flight to spain for a rugby match.

Answer 27

go to you tube.com and search for September clues.. keep an open mind. I'm not going to tolerate your idiocy.

Answer 28

Yeah but the muslims believe the jews did it. They really do. (no offence if you're a muslim in America and don't believe the Jews did it) in Arab Counrties that's what most people believe. Look up Memri.

Answer 29

uummmm.....They called themselves muslims but were they PRACTICING muslims? ABSOLUTELY NOT!!!!!!!!!! A practicing muslim doesn't condone such behavior.

Answer 30

they were muslim yes but they did it because another person promised them a great after life which is just a blatant lie

Answer 31

Yeah and the guy who did the ATL park bombing and bombed all those abortion clinics was (supposedly) a Christian.

Answer 32

yes, most of them

Answer 33

yes they were. there is good news though, bin laden says he will let us infidels live if we all convert to islam. what a nice man.

Answer 34

If they were so religious then why did they party in Las Vegas ?



Going to Las Vegas would be a major sin.

Answer 44

right and george bush starts wars because god tells him too right?



the point of attempting to disguise your racist attitude towards islam in such a question to excuse your prejudice belief is childish at best



the terrorists were brainwashed, get over your racist attitude and grow up



infidel is a term made by christians god knows how the muslims got burdened with it so don't use that silly term, also remember muslims died in those towers so they weren't doing no cleansing!



also just read some person use jihad in the wrong context, people seriously go learn what jihad means, it's a struggle, my personal jihad would be getting up for prayer every morning, so obviously nothing to do with killing people



I'm actually amazed it's taking so long to remove this blantant question only placed on here to start a fight.

Answer 45

But I'm sure they weren't "real" muslims.

Answer 46

yes, that is was happened

Answer 47

nop, it was the us government ...

Answer 48

They were filthy muslims.

Answer 49

Muslim, Islam, whatever. It's all the same stupid belief in a God anyway.

Answer 50

alot of people dont buy that muslims had anything to do with planning or executing 911 ... and if they did they were recruited by the cia ... as was binladen .. and alqueda WAS formed by the cia in afganistan in the russian/ afgan war ... that much is fact ...

Answer 51

You are an idiot.
