Hi Richard, more islamist muslims are getting into govt positions in the west, with so many it is reasonable that some will have islam as their master not the interests of the people local to where they are. As it is not feasable outright ban them from standing for election (ie where can you draw the line and for what reason) is it inevitable that eventually it will lead to civil war or just permanent arguing, even left alone the shia and sunni decend into violence between each other, so how can they live among "unbelievers " without wanting to impost their way of life? eventually taking over via the womb and the ballot box - Exactly as is their intention?
About a year or so after 9/11 the mainstream media seems to have shied away from showing images from 9/11, such as the Falling Man plummeting to his death (Good luck seeing that ever being shown again on broadcast TV), and didn’t want to speak directly to the Jihadist ideology that caused 9/11. They seemed to be focused more on obscuring the causes and harms of 9/11 than on being straightforward with the truth. How much do you think this contributed to creating increased space for conspiracy theorists to assert blame for 9/11 on to their preferred arch nemesis, whether that be Jewish people, secret Federal Government cabals, etc?
How did journalists investigate back then? What were the procedures, step by step, for getting an accurate account of who had done what? From what individuals did you get the bits and pieces of information and how (and by whom) were these verified? Which of these procedures are still in use?
As a journalist, are you satisfied with the level of transparency from the US government about 9/11? If not, what other areas or documents would you like to explore and why?
I was working in the city (of london) at the time - about two streets away from Tower 42 the old Natwest tower, and a guy on the Dutch power desk shouted to us "there are unconfirmed reports of a plane heading to thecity from amstardam and they cant get in touch with it" i thought "errrr fuck, if that hits tower 42 it WILL LAND WHERE IM SAT" !!!! so the head of the desk let us all go home , i didnt feel safe until i got back to the pub near Beckton.
We watched the towers collapse live on tv. Shocking day.
I was in high school when 9/11 happened, and I still remember everything that was said and done that day. My American History teacher two years after 9/11 happened taught a lesson on Pearl Harbor, how that was a day "the world shifted" and how so many Americans remembered that day and where they were when they received the news the Japanese attacked, and he compared it to 9/11. That was when I discovered every single one of my classmates recalled 9/11 perfectly for the same reason, because that was a day the world shifted for us. I've had conversations with others living at the time and have been stuck how often those alive remember where they were at and what they were doing then.
I mention all this because we have an entire adult generation now who weren't alive when 9/11 happened, many who were too little to appreciate it. I was just at lunch with coworkers in this age group asking debating whether it was all right if enough time had passed for them to start making jokes about it. This disconnect between them and me was very striking, the lack of how it changed the world around me from my youth, whereas their world has never felt the change between them and now. I can't recall anybody my generation joking about things like Pearl Harbor, but 9/11 I've observed becoming somewhat of a punchline in the next generation. Do you have an idea why that would be the case, where the fault would lie for that, and if there's anything to be done about it at the societal level?
There are a lot of people, some who have a large following, that suggest Israel was behind 9/11. What is their evidence?. I have seen the group of Israelis filming one of the aircraft striking a tower and celebrating, they were arrested then released.
Looking back after 25 years, what did Europe misunderstand about 9/11? European governments strengthened surveillance and fought wars abroad, yet many still struggle with home-grown jihadism, failed integration and parallel societies. Did Europe focus on the wrong battlefield?

What is your take on the fact that we now have people with islamic backgrounds running for office in the US that thinks america had it coming.

Can you tell us the conclusion of the true victim of 9/11, zohran mamdani's aunt?
