How are your Tributes Coming?

Four weeks from today we’ll be posting our tributes. How is yours coming along?

By using the program Tom created, and the links Chez Diva has provided, I’ve gathered a good bit of information on Candace Lee Williams, but I haven’t written anything yet. I’ve been scouring the web for an email address for her mother, or her brother, in the hopes of getting some personal stories, or even just let to them know that a stranger is learning about, and will never forget, their daughter and sister.

The most overwhelming response I’ve received about 2,996 is that it is difficult. Not hard to do, but hard to handle. I’ve read at least 200 emails with anecdotes, thanks, or simple comments about all the emotions and memories that have been stirred up by this.

Part of me would like to say that wasn’t the reason I created this. And I suppose consciously it wasn’t the reason. But maybe my subconscious, like many of yours, was looking for a way to remember, to feel connected.

As easily as I tear up when I read about Candace I can tell I’m not over the pain, fear, anger and loss of 9/11.

Maybe I never will be.

Maybe I don’t want to be.

Maybe that’s a good thing.

Did you sign up yet? Will you have your tribute ready?

Always On Watch brought this great writer to my attention today. amilimani.com

The terror and death inflicted on humanity is not the work of radical Islam, neither the political Islam, nor the militant Islam. It is Islam, period. Get it? And the perpetrators are not fringe elements confined to brainwashed Saudis, loony Taliban, or a know nothing Pakistanis who have hijacked Islam and are now in the business of mass murder. The latest project of the practitioners of the “religion of peace” aimed to blowing planeloads of innocent civilians to smithereens in midair over the Atlantic — ought to finally drive the point home: it is Islam, dummy. Get it?

The sad truth is that We God Fearing, Life Loving Americans have tried to give everyone a chance and the mullahs have taken advantage of this and tried to kill us all.

Why is it that the feminists think we should coddle these terrorists who despise them?

Being a good Muslim, particularly a good male Muslim, is indeed a full time job. Male Muslims are obligated to go for Hajjh;women don’t have to do so. Islam is a man’s religion, through and through. Women are to please men erotically, to attend to them like chattel, and birth them boys. Going on Hajj and accumulating merit points for admission to Allah’s paradise is reserved for men. Women may also go to Hajj, if they are lucky enough to afford the journey or allowed by their owners, men, to
do so. For women, there are no promises that by going on Hajj and paying tribute to the house of Allah they endear themselves to him. “Women are calamities, but no home should be without one,” is an old Islamic characterization of women. Hence, a woman is a necessity and not much more.

This is a great read. go check it out.
