SEPT. 11: A DAY OF INFAMY THROUGHOUT HISTORY
Bill Federer remembers significant events stretching back centuries

Sept. 11, 1565

In 1565, Sultan Suleiman the Magnificent dominated the Mediterranean, with intentions of not only invading Sicily, Sardinia, Majorca, and southern Spain, but Rome itself. The only thing standing in his way was the small rocky Island of Malta just south of Sicily, defended by the Knights of Malta.

In March of 1565, Sultan Suleiman the Magnificent sent Algerian Admiral Dragut to Malta with 200 ships and 40,000 Muslim soldiers, including 6,500 elite Janissary troops. Dragut stated: "Unless you have smoked out this nest of vipers, you can do no good anywhere."

Queen Elizabeth I of England is said to have remarked: "If the Turks should prevail against the Isle of Malta, it is uncertain what further peril might follow to the rest of Christendom."

The Knights of Malta were led by a 70-year-old Frenchmen, Jean Parisot de la Valette. Pleas for reinforcements went out across Europe, but defense seemed futile. La Valette addressed his men: "A formidable army composed of audacious barbarians is descending on this island. These persons, my brothers, are the enemies of Jesus Christ. …"

La Valette continued: "… Today it is a question of the defense of our faith – as to whether the Gospels are to be superseded by the Koran. God on this occasion demands of us our lives, already vowed to his service. Happy will be those who first consummate this sacrifice."

The Turks attacked again and again, even reducing one of their fortresses to rubble, but the Knights kept fighting, resolved to save Western Civilization. Finally, Dragut was killed and the Muslims sailed away on Sept. 11, 1565.

Sept. 11, 1683

Another major event happened on Sept. 11. Sultan Mehmed IV sent over 138,000 Muslim Ottoman Turks to surround Vienna, Austria, led by General Mustafa Pasha. For two months they starved the 11,000 Hapsburg-Austrian defenders.

Sultan Mehmed IV sent the message to Austrian King, Leopold I: "Await us in your residence … so we can decapitate you."

Polish King Jan Sobieski gathered 81,000 Polish, Austrian and German troops and led a surprise attack on Sept. 11, 1683. They made one of the largest charges in history, 38,350 cavalry and dragoons. Soldiers had made wings for their backs which made a thunderous noise when they charged, causing the Turks to flee in confusion.

Upon entering the abandoned Turkish tents, Sobieski found bags of beans – coffee beans – revealing how Turks could fight day and night. The beans came from Ethiopia, the one African country which stayed Christian, and the Muslims called them infidels or "cafir," from which the word "coffee" was derived.

The legend is that Pope Clement VIII was petitioned to declare coffee "the drink of the devil" due to its association with Muslims, but the Pontiff tasted it and stated: "This devil's drink is so good, we should cheat the devil by baptizing it."

Shortly after the victory of Vienna, Polish General Koltschizky opened Vienna's first coffeehouses and coffee quickly spread across Europe. The Pope and European leaders hailed Jan Sobieski as the "Saviour of Western Civilization." The humiliated Muslim army beheaded General Mustafa Pasha and sent his head back to Sultan Mehmed IV in a velvet bag.

Hilaire Belloc (1870-1953) wrote in "The Great Heresies" (1938): "Less than 100 years before the American War of Independence a Mohammedan army was threatening to overrun and destroy Christian civilization. … Vienna was almost taken and only saved by the Christian army under the command of the King of Poland on a date that ought to be among the most famous in history – September 11, 1683."

Sept. 11, 1697

Muslim Ottoman Turks dominated Belgrade, Serbia, since 1521. In 1691, Austria helped free Belgrade, but Muslim Ottoman Turks recaptured it and razed the city's buildings to the ground. The Serbian Orthodox Patriarch led thousands to flee to the Austrian Hapsburg Empire in the first "Great Serbian Migration."

Habsburg Prince Eugene of Savoy led the Holy League to counter-attack. Losing 500 men, they killed 30,000 Turks in one of the Ottoman Empire's worsts defeats in history – the Battle of Zenta, Sept. 11, 1697.

President Theodore Roosevelt wrote in his 1916 book, "Fear God and Take Your Own Part": "From the hammer of Charles Martel to the sword of Jan Sobieski, Christianity owed its safety in Europe to the fact it … could and would fight as well as the Mohammedan aggressor."

Sept. 11, 2001

Islamic terrorists hijacked passenger jets. Two were flown into New York's World Trade Center, one into the Pentagon and one crashed in Pennsylvania.

President Bush stated: "Freedom itself was attacked this morning by a faceless coward, and freedom will be defended."

That evening, President Bush stated: "Thousands of lives were suddenly ended by evil, despicable acts of terror. Pictures of planes flying into buildings, fires burning, huge structures collapsing have filled us with disbelief, terrible sadness and a quiet, unyielding anger."

President Bush continued: "America was targeted … because we're the brightest beacon for freedom and opportunity in the world. … I ask for your prayers for all those who grieve. … I pray they will be comforted by a power greater than any of us spoken through the ages in Psalm 23: 'Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I fear no evil for you are with me.'"

On Sept. 13, 2001, President Bush stated: "In the face of all this evil, we remain strong and united, 'One Nation Under God.'"

Sept. 11, 2012

The U.N. Universal Declaration of Human Rights, written with the help of Eleanor Roosevelt, was adopted by the U.N. General Assembly, Dec. 8, 1948. Without referencing the "Creator" as the source of rights, like the U.S. Declaration of Independence, the U.N. Universal Declaration of Human Rights includes articles such as:

Article 18. Everyone has the right to freedom of thought, conscience and religion; this right includes freedom to change his religion or belief.

This conflicted with Islamic Shariah law which imposes the death penalty for anyone leaving the Islamic religion.

Many articles in the U.N. Universal Declaration of Human Rights were rejected by the leaders of 57 Islamic countries, who formed their own group called the Organization of Islamic Cooperation, or OIC. In 1990, OIC passed the Cairo Declaration on Human Rights in Islam, affirming Shariah law as supreme, with:

the death penalty for those leaving Islam
punishing women who are victims of rape
allowing men to be polygamous
permitting wife beating
censoring speech insulting Islam

On Dec. 12, 2011, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton began a three-day closed door meeting with the OIC, promising to support their Istanbul Process to universally "criminalize" speech insulting Islam, effectively enforcing "dhimmi" status on non-Muslims worldwide.

By definition, the Christian Gospel insults Islam. If someone in a Shariah controlled country proclaims Jesus Christ more than a prophet – but also the Son of God who died on the cross to pay for the sins of the world – it would mean the death penalty. In fact, all speech contrary to Islam insults Islam.

At the end of the meeting, OIC Secretary General Ekmeleddin Ihsanoglu stated: "The Istanbul Process initiated with Secretary of State Hillary Clinton … must be carried forward."

Clinton added: "We now need to move to implementation."

In the following months, Hillary Clinton's State Department ignored repeated requests for security by Ambassador Chris Stevens in Libya. He was killed with several others in the Benghazi attack on Sept. 11, 2012.

The night of the attack, Secretary Clinton's State Department blamed a video, and they shortly after sent memos to YouTube and Google recommending they censor speech insulting Islam, consistent with promises made at the OIC Istanbul Process meeting.

U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Susan Rice added to this narrative, as did President Obama when he told the U.N. General Assembly, Sept. 25, 2012: "The future must not belong to those who slander the prophet of Islam."

The U.S. supported the Muslim Brotherhood's ousting of Egypt's President Mubarak. Then U.S. weapons were used to oust Libya's President Gaddafi.

Requests made by Judicial Watch through the Freedom of Information Act revealed emails of weapons being moved from Benghazi in a "Fast and Furious" gun-running style programme to arm Muslim fighters in ousting Syria's President Assad. This is part of a larger plan remove current leaders in order to reestablish an Islamic Caliphate.

When Russia came to Assad's defense, the Muslims armed and trained by the U.S. attacked into Syria and Iraq, calling themselves ISIS, and proceeded to torture, rape, behead and displace hundreds of thousands.

Hati13:


Celebrating Ethiopian New Year lol

OLAADEGBU:


Ethiopia was cited as the only African Christian nation that did not bow to Islam but you did supply them with your coffee which has now become popular worldwide. Congratulations.

Hati13:



Thanks

30-35% of our population is Muslim though.

OLAADEGBU:


You were the first African country to receive the gospel and the last man standing.

Hati13:


But what about some other Africans?

OLAADEGBU:


What African nation do you have in mind?

Hati13:


African nations with Christian ppl like Kenya, Nigeria and some others.

Did I interpreted the comment differently or am I one the same page with you?

OLAADEGBU:


Kenya is being ravaged by Al shabab and Nigeria Boko Haram. I believe most Muslims in Ethiopia have gone on to form their own separate country, no?

Hati13:

Oh now I understand your statement "the last man standing".

Most of the Ethiopian Muslims are now in peace with the Christians. There are some like ISIS mentality, but most of them are peaceful.

In the past, Muslims were very against us just like we were against them. They did tried to erase the Christian existence in the 16th century AD, but were rescued by the Portuguese. They destroyed almost everything. Beheadings were common there and between 100,000-1,000,000 ppl were slaughtered. The countless beautiful churches, monastery and Christian texts they destroyed and treasures looted would definitely have added to our 10 UNESCO heritage sites (the largest number in Africa).

I don't see peace in Islam. Do you see peace in Islam?

OLAADEGBU:


There is no peace in Islam. Muslims are even at war against themselves, look at the middle east for instance. They believe "peace" will only be achieved when they establish their Caliphate and then subject everyone to their sharia law. The reason they've been trying since September 11, 1565 till date.

Hati13:


They need either to be Atheistnized or Christianized. There Quran even says that none-Muslims should be slaughtered. All this because a man called Prophet Mohammed preached and wrote fantasy and immoral things.

By the way, was Prohhet Mohammed was truly dark skinned just like some ppl claim?
And do your Muslim President support Boko Harem caliphate ideology (not their barbaric deeds)?

OLAADEGBU:

Atheists are even worst. The only way they can have peace is to invite the Prince of Peace into their hearts.

OLAADEGBU:

Just as they name coffee as kifir the arabic name for a slave is "black." Muhammad was an arab and he sees blacks as slaves.

OLAADEGBU:

And for your last question your guess is as good as mine.

Hati13:


But I'm an Atheist and I've never seen a worse evil things done by Atheists than Muslims, Christians, Buddhists and many others.....



We blacks had and still being used to describe bad things. For example, the famine example in Oxford dictionary is "Ethiopia". Are we the first to suffer by worst famine? No, we ain't!



I think he have the majesty thing to be a ruler when I saw him in TV before his illness. Do you agree?
And I like also the personality of Biafra leader Kanu , even if I don't know much about him. It's confusing.
What ethnic are you if I ask?

OLAADEGBU:


See what your heroes where up to during their regimes.

Hati13:


They didn't killed those amounts of ppl in the name of Atheism belief. But Muslims, Christians, Buddhists, Handiests and many other religion followers had collectively slaughtered hundreds of millions if not around billion ppl.

If I ask, did the Muslim that are now being horribly slaughtered in Burma committed atrocities against Buddhists in the past?

OLAADEGBU:


What is the atheists belief?

Hati13:


A belief that the so called God/gods don't exist.
