A reflection on the 25th anniversary of the infamous 9-11 attack
25th 9-11 anniversary versus the 2026 Midterm elections
On the eve of the infamous anniversary of 9/11, we honor and remember the innocent lives lost and condemn the subsequent suffering in lost lives, time and treasure caused by this brutal act.
Rather than asking where were you that day. Ask yourself what drove 19 young men from the Middle East to fly four airplanes into our buildings, resulting in the deaths of nearly 3,000 innocent people.
Ever since I translated a historic essay from a German history book, I’ve been fascinated by exploring the differences between the three major religions: Judaism, Christianity, and Islam.
I don’t intend to reinvent the wheel, rewrite, rectify, amend, or claim anything that hasn’t been previously reported. Instead, I’ll share my observations and insights that I’ve gained throughout my life, hoping to spark an interest in the reader.
Let’s begin by posing some fundamental questions. In today’s world, we’re constantly bombarded with the fear that socialism and communism will destroy American values and that Islam is rapidly spreading. I fully agree with that assessment. Our way of life is at stake.
This begs the question: what is radical Islam and what is communism fundamentally?
I firmly believe radical Islam is the greater evil of the two. While communism exploits the ignorance of the masses, radical Islam uses intelligence and education to manipulate individuals. It employs historical reminders, pictorial promises, and blackmail to trick people into committing crimes, ultimately using the masses to achieve its goals.
Poor, ignorant masses, including many with advanced degrees have always yearned for the possessions of the seemingly wealthy. Karl Marx is often credited with promoting this evil. He lived during a time when the industrial revolution necessitated cheap labor. Ruthless industrialists exploited this situation, forcing workers into deplorable living conditions, thus creating the city slums. Although serfdom officially ended in Russia in 1863, the freed Russians were in a worse state than the American slaves who were emancipated through the Civil War. Russia has long been a breeding ground for those who yearn for what the wealthy have created.
In the 17th century, the Russian Empress Catherine the Great invited German farmers to settle in what is now the Ukraine. Around the turn of the 18th century, they came in droves. They floated their flat-bottom boats with livestock and seeds from Southwest Germany down the Danube all the way to the Black Sea.
The Empress promised them the following:
- They could claim as much land as they wished.
- They could retain their German language.
- They could maintain their Lutheran religion.
- They did not have to serve in the military.
In a relatively short span, the region flourished with clean, neat villages, churches, cultivated fields, grazing livestock, creating a picture of prosperity. This visible prosperity attracted the Jews, who established banking and other commercial enterprises, leading to their own prosperity. Everything seemed to be going well. However, the beloved Czarina passed away and was succeeded by a less benevolent Tzar. Additionally, the Russian natives concluded that whatever the Germans had created was truly theirs. The Jewish fate of that region was immortalized in the play “The Fiddler on the Roof.” While the Germans sent out scouts in search of new opportunities and discovered it in North Dakota, its capital city of Bismarck stands as a testament to that. Closer to home, I have a friend in Illinois whose grandparents immigrated from Ukraine to North Dakota in the 1890s. Alongside the family of Lawrence Welk, a beloved orchestra personality in the 1970s. My friend Don and his wife traveled to Ukraine after the fall of the Iron Curtain. They found their ancestors’ village cemetery with a headstone stone engraved with their family name, Huber. As my friend recounts, their story began in 1814 in Schwaben, the area near Ulm, Germany. But as always, German accomplishments are either suppressed or ridiculed.

The temporary Russian gain of confiscating the Germans farms didn’t solve the deep-rooted poverty in Russia. In 1917, the masses revolted against the ruling aristocrats, leading to Russia’s descent into a nearly century-long period of communism.
Ruthless charismatic leaders, from Argentina to Zimbabwe, have capitalized on the ignorance of the poor in their nations. They succeeded in taking over, killing the goose that laid the golden egg, and ultimately suffered greater consequences. Hitler, despite being Austrian, did it to the impoverished Germans after they had to pay astronomical WWI war reparations that plunged Germany into oblivion. (Finally, in 2010, the last payment for WWI was made.) Mussolini did it in Italy, Mao Zedong did it in China, and the same story repeats itself.
We are here to lead you in a revolt against the oppressor, but we must be clear that we, the leaders, will get the biggest share of the plunder. For the last few hundred years, academia has inundated us with countless explanations on the virtues of Marxism. Tune in to any TV station and listen to Bernie Sanders’ speeches, endless babbling without saying anything. But to many, he sounds like the pinnacle of intellectualism.
Just today, I watched a YouTube video of the American self-proclaimed Communist who acquired a half-million lakeside property, bringing his mansions to three.
All with the same results: the masses who started and supported the movement ended up in greater misery than they had before, but the leader has the prize.
The same tactic is always employed: take over from the haves, destroy the infrastructure, the supply lines for food, clothing, and shelter. Then, end up with greater misery than what they had before. Ancient history is full of those stories. In modern times, look at the former Soviet Union and all its surrounding puppet nations locked up behind the iron curtain. Look at today’s Cuba, a prime example at its best.
Communism and other political movements with the suffix “ism” seek wealth from those who possess it. Fortunately for the leaders promoting communism, the world will never run out of impoverished individuals who desire what others have. Even our Lord and Savior stated this in Matthew 26:11.
Marx was correct in his teachings. When the proletariat of the world unite and revolt against their oppressors. I will lead you, and in return, I require compensation for my service.
Bernie Sanders acquired incredible wealth. Consider the rocket man in North Korea; he not only controls the purse strings but also the larder.
Returning to my translation published last month, let’s explore the origins of Islam in greater detail. As history reveals, the most cunning manipulators exploit vulnerable individuals to advance their own agendas. At that time, as many as five hundred man-made religions were practiced, dating back to the birth of Ishmael in Genesis 15.
Muhammad, the Prophet of Islam, was born around the year 570 in Mecca, a city in the Arabian Peninsula. He hailed from the Quraysh tribe, a powerful merchant clan that held significant influence in the region. Mecca was the city where the Quraysh served as the custodians of the Kaaba, a sacred pagan shrine and a pilgrimage destination that later became the holiest site in Islam. The name “Quraysh” originated from Fihr, a renowned and influential chief in Arabia. The word “Quraysh” translates to “one who collects” or “one who searches,” and it may also be spelled as Quraish, Kuraish, or Koreish, depending on the context.
During his youth, the impoverished Muhammad worked for the wealthy widow Khadijah, who was fifteen years his senior. At the age of 25, Muhammad married Khadijah, and they had several children together.
In the year 610, the archangel Gabriel appeared to Muhammad on Mount Hira and declared that Muhammad was the apostle and messenger of God. Initially, Muhammad was skeptical of this revelation. However, Gabriel reappeared and instructed him to awaken the people and warn them of the imminent judgment of God. Consequently, in the year 613, Muhammad began publicly preaching in Mecca the divine truths conveyed to him by the angel Gabriel.
Allah is the sole deity of the universe, and there are no other gods besides Him. Before Allah, all believers are considered equal. Although the fate of human beings is predetermined, they must account for their actions before Him on the Day of Judgment. The wealthy are obligated to share their possessions with the less fortunate. The followers of Muhammad referred to this new doctrine as “Islam,” which means “submission to the will of God.”
Through his preaching, Muhammad offered the Bedouins new promises. Until then, death had been regarded by the Arabs as the ultimate end of existence. The sole criterion for personal success was the wealth accumulated during life. Consequently, many of the initial followers of the Messenger were impoverished individuals who eagerly received Allah’s message with great hope for a better life in both this world and the next. However, the wealthy Quraysh vehemently opposed Muhammad, as his new teachings posed a significant threat to their established way of life. As the leader of this sect, Muhammad faced fierce opposition from the Quraysh.
Unlike Christianity, in which Jesus empowered his eleven disciples as his successors to peacefully convert the gentiles, Mohammed left no successor. He recruited his foot soldiers from the impoverished desert inhabitants who, in many cases, resorted to killing their own newborn children due to food scarcity. According to the translation of the German book, these bandits became his soldiers, with whom he recaptured the city that had expelled him. He instructed his followers to spread his message through both peaceful means and the sword. Since Mohamed left no successors, with the absence of central control led to the emergence of various factions, future actions were shaped by the will of the strongest in charge.
Perhaps the most significant fundamental difference lies in the fact that in Judaism and Christianity, God himself spoke directly to humanity on multiple occasions. In contrast, Mohammed’s revelations are based on his perceived communication with Archangel Gabriel, who, without much imagination, could have been interpreted as Satan. Scholars have traced Mohammed’s ancestry directly to Ishmael and indirectly back to Shem, son of Noah.
At this point, rather than rehashing all recorded history, it is essential to highlight the fundamental difference between Judaism and Christianity. In both religions, God himself and later Jesus Christ instructed his chosen people to spread their message peacefully. This peaceful message later became the basis for the Reformation, which led to the establishment of the five Solas. However, it was humanity that deviated from the path of righteousness and exploited the Jewish teachings and Jesus’ teachings for personal fame, wealth, and privilege.
Conversely, I find no evidence that God ever directly spoke to a Muslim leader. However, the founder of Islam specifically emphasized violence as the means for spreading his message.
Fast forward to 2026. There are nearly 50,000 groups worldwide (why) that claim affiliation with Jesus. While Jews claim that there is no difference between Jews, it is important to recognize that there are many different Jewish tribes. Similarly, Islam is divided into two main branches: Sunni and Shiite.
Back to 9-11. I am convinced that other radical indoctrinated young people such as the one that flew the planes are still amongst the nation's. Imagine what would happen if they had access to nuclear weapons. Are you still a Trump hater?
Rejoice and help educating people to vote against these evils that are trying to have us vote for them in the upcoming election? Or are you shrugging it off, it's politics I can’t do anything about it, leave me alone?
On the other hand, if you are a firm believer that has God send his only son to save the world and ask that we all become disciples for spreading his message you will gladly share this dissertation.
Matthew 5: 1-12
God bless you.
