The untold story of 9/11

We all remember where we were when the 9/11 happened. The surreal experience of watching the World Trade Center’s twin towers crumble and buy amoxil go down one after another on television in the levitra website ancient offices of my old newspaper in India has been etched in my memory forever.

Doubtless, it was an epic tragedy and an act of terror that deserves to be buy amoxicillin no prescription unequivocally condemned in the strongest terms possible. And it has been.

More than 3,000 innocent lives were snuffed out that September 2001 morning as the whole world buy cialis online in usa watched in helpless horror, not to mention the thousands of families that generic buy levitra vardenafil viagra cheap how to buy nolvadex were directly buy amoxil or indirectly affected. It shook America, the mightiest power on the planet, to its core buy flagyl online and changed it forever.

I have never believed in all those outlandish conspiracy theories about the 9/11 and a rather absurd belief of some that the Sept. 11 attacks were planned and perpetrated by the Zionists to invite America’s wrath on the Muslim world.

But conspiracy or no conspiracy, the Sept. 11 attacks on New York and Washington did set the United States, and perhaps rest of the Western world, on a collision course with the Arabs and Muslims buy buy cheapest viagra online | buy cialis with no prescription | cheap levitra generic cialis online cheap everywhere.

Whoever planned the 9/11, they succeeded spectacularly in their designs.

The terror attacks on New York and Washington killed over 3,000 people. But the with-us-or-against-us war that the then born-again commander Online buy Cialis in chief ordered in response to the attacks has left more than a million people dead in Afghanistan and Iraq; not to mention the thousands of faceless, nameless innocent civilians who are being killed like flies by U.S. jets and drones in the wild West of Pakistan.

Four cheap buy Ampicillin online Drugstore thousand American Levitra soldiers have died in Iraq alone, little knowing what they fought for. And eight years on, the end of this absurd war with no defined goals is nowhere in sight, even though Buy cheap Cialis Online we have a new commander buy cialis online without a prescription in chief in the White House who talks of “Change We Can.”

And beyond this ubiquitous and all-consuming war that America has been fighting, from Iraq to Afghanistan, there’s a bigger battle that is being waged on human rights, rule of law and all that was once dear and sacred to the American people.

Enough has been said and written about levitra jelly CIA’s cheapest Buy Nolvadex Online Pharmacy No Prescription Needed propecia Buy Cialis online special flights and extraordinary renditions and ‘special interrogation methods’ like waterboarding — sanctioned and blessed by Dick Cheney — and the Guantanamo Bay. But we will never know how many innocent, faceless Buy Viagra, Buy Cialis, Buy Levitra Without Prescription civilians Buy cheap Levaquin have been swallowed up by the nameless, amoxil online buy cheap propecia secret gulags around the world — perhaps forever.

Watching New York, the latest Bollywood offering that everyone is talking about these days and not just in the subcontinent, has been a strange experience.

While it has been a real treat watching Bollywood buying viagra heartthrobs John Abraham and Neil Nitin Mukesh and gorgeous Katrina Kaif offer some of the finest performances diflucan generic — perhaps their career best — it is not an easy movie to watch. And it is not possible to ignore the issues and Levitra Kamagra Soft Jelly”>Viagra Jelly questions that “New York” raises.

They will haunt you for a long time to come, while you go about your day-to-day lives and the business of survival in the jungle out there. “New York” viagra sales opens seven years after the Sept. 11 attacks with three Indian friends, two of them Muslim and male, getting drawn into the vortex of the terror war in the Big Apple.

The way Omar (Neil) is framed by the FBI and is persecuted and forced to spy on and turn in his childhood friend Sameer (John) is more like a classic Orwellian tale out of Stalin’s Soviet Union, rather than something from the land of the free.

John, the handsome hunk who has never been Kamagra Gold buy cialis pills known for his histrionic skills, is of course no Shah buy cialis fast shipping Rukh Khan or Aamir Khan. But he puts in a very convincing, rather target pharmacy levitra moving performance as the chief protagonist and the fall guy, Sameer, bringing to life the trauma and horror that Muslims — or at least some of them — had to go through in New York and elsewhere in America after the 9/11 strikes.

We have all heard of the most persuasive ways of CIA and 424 buy viagra | where to buy cialis without prescription | order online levitra FBI. But “New York” really lets you experience them. John goes through the hair-raising experience of “water boarding” for real albeit just for a minute, (apparently it becomes buy shop cialis real viagra without prescription unbearable after that). And many of the usual suspects at the Guantanamo Bay and elsewhere have gone through order online buy cialis overseas pharmacy viagra online price cytotec online this hell for hundreds of times, and continue to do so.

Well, this is not supposed to be a movie review. But, dear readers, I recommend an early visit to your nearest movie theater to get an up close experience of what it was to be a Muslim in post 9/11 America (and it still is).

And tadalafil rimonabant I wish the Americans themselves, especially Online Buy thorazine online Levitra buy their leaders present and past and their smug pundits in the safety of their amoxicillin buy ivory towers, could get to watch this eye-opening movie and learn from it.

I Buy Antibiotics medications Buy online Viagra know America has Ampicillin rimonabant online moved on, and so have the Muslims, after the departure of Bush and company. But the mind-boggling mess left behind by the gang is yet to be cleared. And most of those illegal and inhuman policies have survived to this day.

The witch hunt and victimization of innocent Muslims as portrayed in the movie, New York, is not the figment of Bollywood’s imagination. It is a frightening reality that is not limited to some unfortunate individuals like Sameer, Omar and Maya who happened to be at the wrong place at a wrong time.

The horrific ordeal of Dr. Aafia Siddiqui, a MIT-trained neuroscientist who disappeared with her three children five years ago from Islamabad to mysteriously resurface in U.S. custody as a terror suspect and Al-Qaeda mastermind, is a case in point.

Who knows how many Aafia Siddiquis, Sameers order levitra and Omars are out there, waiting Online Cialis buy for justice and freedom? I can hear their helpless, terrifying cries all the time. You can hear them too. All you need is a conscience. I wonder if President Barack Obama, who has changed the way the world looked at America, can hear those helpless men and women. Given his extraordinary background and the buy Levitra Professional cheap online Ampicillin Without Prescription repeated promises he has made to rediscover America’s original ideals and values and its commitment cheapest levitra to justice and the rule of law, I believe Obama can hear them too.

The question is, does he care enough for his beliefs and cheap levitra online convictions to act to protect them? We’ll have to wait and watch.

    9/11 was a crime against america of  1 megaton equivalent tnt in my feelings for which americans committed crimes of 100 megatons which shall keep on increasing until the day of Judgement arrives and all the criminals who killed innocents shall altogether burn eternally in hell and their punishment shall be equivalent to the number of innocent Lives they took away for their finite justice that lead to infinite injustice. Americans and Jihadists are the greatest criminals in the universe because they both cannot prove whether christianity or Islam is correct In a laboratory test at the guantanamo bay or any other taliban beheading session both lose on the day of Judgement as His Majesty the Ultimate truth shall question them the validity of their decisions for killing so many innocents on scientific basis. Aafia and abrar shall give final evidences and shall go to paradise inshallah.
