I admire Jawaid Chaudhry Virk Sahib, for his courage and openness in his post (#5 ) for taking a bold stand against the popular but baseless perceptions of Al-Qaida and 9/11 as it exists today as a consequence of well planned and . Not too long ago BBC broadcasted an excellent documentary to expose Al-Quida myths.  

I do share Virk Sahib’s concerns, that a conscious, well organized and well funded blitz is underway to make Al-Quida and 9/11 a permanent part of the history attributable and synonymous to Islam and Muslims.  

The moment some one mentions 9/11, the associated complicities or the holes in the official story which is based on flimsy and preposterous claims backed by CIA-FBI; the clueless Islamophobes get up in defense of the lies crafted for political purposes.  

Knowing that all the excuses (which have been used to deploy the state supported web of terror around the world) have already been uncovered as false and pretentious political façade to hide the real geo-political enterprise; the neocons, their supporters and the beneficiaries cannot possibly afford to let go of the 9/11. Naturally, it follows that they would not allow an official investigation which may uncover the truth and kill the goose that lays the golden eggs to be used against Islam and the Muslims. 

The defence of 9/11 related claims has now become a paramount necessity for the Neocons and the Islamophobes to maintain their assault on Islam and the Muslims and to maintain their web of terror in key geographical locations in the sole interest of geo-political controls vital to their supremacy. The September 11 and Al-Quida excuse has now become the key foundation over which they construct their justification for the heinous crimes around the globe under the disguise of war on terror.  

Mark Steyn, in his book, ‘America Alone’, refers to 9/11 on almost every other page. In this book he writes to the effect that the women in the West are not as fertile as are the Muslim women, soon there would be lots of Muslims flying planes into buildings.  

The reminder of 9/11 has become a kind of a pied piper tune for the duped minds to follow it blindly only to fall off the cliff to their (intellectual) death.
