Thinking of the family and friends of all those killed 25 years ago. So many brave stories told. Evil will not win.

25 years ago the biggest terrorist attack.

These terrorists that would destroy freedom and democracy still killing around the world. The fight against those that would attempt to destroy democracy and freedom goes on. They operate around the world, mainly funded by Iran, Hezbollah, Hamas, ISIS, and all the other extremist islamist organisations ( so many of them operate in the Middle East, Africa and elsewhere).

Iran are still funding proxies but there seems to be an acceptance of it now and the very little condemnation of the IRGC, Hamas, Hezbollah or the Houthis

IRGC, Hamas, Hezbollah are all proscribed in the UK and the Houthis are heavily sanctioned. That is condemnation isn't it?

And yet all the left seem to bang on about is Palestine. Wonder why 🤔

"Evil will not win".

Look, widescale loss of civilian life if obviously appalling, but let's not try and equate the US with "good" - and they seem pretty hellbent on destroying "The West" themselves.

You're not being unreasonable @REMEMBERthemALL

The condemnation is nearly all geared towards the West now. Yet we are the West (most of us on Mumsnet) surely.

Osama Bin Laden said when claiming responsibility for 9/11 called for "Free Palestine". Then, people in the West were overwhelming on the side of UK/US in the pursuit of terrorists. What has happened? These same Islamic terrorists still have the same aim to destroy the West. When Israel was attacked ( in a much worse more personal attack involving so many more people proportionally to the population on October 7th) you had Palestinian Action filing for marches in London on October 8th 2023 before Israel had even counted their dead or made any response. That is because that is what was planned.......the aim was to drum up anti- Israel rhetoric. Hamas have achieved their goal- they didn't care about dead civilians, the more dead the better for their ideology. " martyrs". These weren't "grassroots" protests- they were planned and executed with precision and have now infiltrated college campuses in the UK and US with their harmful ideology. And they seem to have succeeded.

Everyone who values freedom should be against this ideology.

Free Gaza- from Hamas
Free Lebanon- from Hezbolah
Free Yemen- from the Houthis
Free Iran- from the IRGC

These same Islamic terrorists still have the same aim to destroy the West.

Yes they do. They hate the freedom we enjoy. We can speak out. Don't have to bow down to extremist doctrine. They hate that we will not be controlled, as they control so many, in their various areas of operation.

You're absolutely spot on.

It is about time Saudia Arabia came clean about its (alleged) involvement. The wife of one of those who died in 9/11 said this today during the ceremonial reading of names.
