Pearl Harbor and WTC Attacks Were For the Same Reason from Planck's Constant

In a moment I will tell you how the attack on Pearl Harbor and the attacks on 9/11 are related.

But first some background: immediately after the attacks on 9/11 clueless liberals blamed those attacks on our support of Israel, or our military presence in the Middle East, or because we steal (at $90 and more a barrel) precious Muslim resources or because we beleaguered the Iraqi people with our sanctions.

Indeed, Osama Bin Laden himself in his 1998 declaration of war ¹ against the US recites this very same litany of complaints. But the specific acts themselves were not the casus belli; one only has to note that the Soviets killed, enslaved or oppressed more Muslims than any nation on Earth and yet Bin Laden did not consider them worthy enough to include in his fatwa of 1998.

No, the Soviets do not stand in the way of Muslim domination of the world. But you know who does. And that is why we were attacked on 9/11 - not because Muslim extremists hate our freedoms or because of Israel or any other silly reason, and please excuse the language but there is only one proper way to say it: we were attacked because we are the strongest mother-fuckers on Earth.

United States Secretary of Homeland Security Janet Napolitano said that 'the system worked' on December 7, 1941 when the Japanese military attacked the American naval fleet at Pearl Harbor, Hawaii.

And that is precisely the exact same reason we were attacked at Pearl Harbor in 1941. We stood in the way of Japanese expansion of their empire. America - not the British, not the Soviets, not any European power.

Japan lacked many of the natural resources needed to feed its industries. Instead of expanding trade, the Japanese expanded their empire.
The Japanese seized Manchuria in 1931, and began a war against China in 1937.

President Roosevelt and Secretary of State Cordell Hull shut off American trade in an effort to force the Japanese to end their hostilities against China. This made the Japanese even more aggressive. They had long coveted the resource-rich British and Dutch colonies of Southeast Asia, and as the U.S. trade embargo tightened, the Japanese increasingly looked southward for raw materials and strategic resources.

Only the United States stood in Japan's path. The U.S. Pacific Fleet at Pearl Harbor was the only force capable of challenging Japan's navy, and American bases in the Philippines could threaten lines of communications between the Japanese home islands and the East Indies. Every oil tanker heading for Japan would have to pass by American-held Luzon. From these needs and constraints, Japan's war plans emerged.

So when you read on some liberal idiot blog that if only we would stop supporting Israel, if only we would leave Saudi Arabia, or get out of Iraq or do this or that, there would be peace between the US and the Muslim world, you know the truth: there will only be peace between the US and the Muslim world when the Muslim world is utterly destroyed as imperial Japan was destroyed.

The great mistake in Iraq was that we did not run it the way we ran Japan. We should have forced our way of life on the Iraqi people just as we did on the Japanese. I believe one day we will have to go into every single Muslim nation and change the way they live. If we don't, then one day, every Muslim nation will be coming over here to change the way we live.

Federation of American Scientists, World Islamic Front Statement Urging Jihad Against Jews and Crusaders
World Islamic Front Statement
The Arabian Peninsula has never -- since Allah made it flat, created its desert, and encircled it with seas -- been stormed by any forces like the crusader armies spreading in it like locusts, eating its riches and wiping out its plantations. All this is happening at a time in which nations are attacking Muslims like people fighting over a plate of food. In the light of the grave situation and the lack of support, we and you are obliged to discuss current events, and we should all agree on how to settle the matter.
No one argues today about three facts that are known to everyone; we will list them, in order to remind everyone:

First, for over seven years the United States has been occupying the lands of Islam in the holiest of places, the Arabian Peninsula, plundering its riches, dictating to its rulers, humiliating its people, terrorizing its neighbors, and turning its bases in the Peninsula into a spearhead through which to fight the neighboring Muslim peoples.
If some people have in the past argued about the fact of the occupation, all the people of the Peninsula have now acknowledged it. The best proof of this is the Americans' continuing aggression against the Iraqi people using the Peninsula as a staging post, even though all its rulers are against their territories being used to that end, but they are helpless.

Second, despite the great devastation inflicted on the Iraqi people by the crusader-Zionist alliance, and despite the huge number of those killed, which has exceeded 1 million... despite all this, the Americans are once against trying to repeat the horrific massacres, as though they are not content with the protracted blockade imposed after the ferocious war or the fragmentation and devastation.

So here they come to annihilate what is left of this people and to humiliate their Muslim neighbors.

Third, if the Americans' aims behind these wars are religious and economic, the aim is also to serve the Jews' petty state and divert attention from its occupation of Jerusalem and murder of Muslims there. The best proof of this is their eagerness to destroy Iraq, the strongest neighboring Arab state, and their endeavor to fragment all the states of the region such as Iraq, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, and Sudan into paper statelets and through their disunion and weakness to guarantee Israel's survival and the continuation of the brutal crusade occupation of the Peninsula.

All these crimes and sins committed by the Americans are a clear declaration of war on Allah, his messenger, and Muslims. And ulema have throughout Islamic history unanimously agreed that the jihad is an individual duty if the enemy destroys the Muslim countries. This was revealed by Imam Bin-Qadamah in "Al- Mughni," Imam al-Kisa'i in "Al-Bada'i," al-Qurtubi in his interpretation, and the shaykh of al-Islam in his books, where he said: "As for the fighting to repulse [an enemy], it is aimed at defending sanctity and religion, and it is a duty as agreed [by the ulema]. Nothing is more sacred than belief except repulsing an enemy who is attacking religion and life."

On that basis, and in compliance with Allah's order, we issue the following fatwa to all Muslims:

The ruling to kill the Americans and their allies -- civilians and military -- is an individual duty for every Muslim who can do it in any country in which it is possible to do it, in order to liberate the al-Aqsa Mosque and the holy mosque [Mecca] from their grip, and in order for their armies to move out of all the lands of Islam, defeated and unable to threaten any Muslim. This is in accordance with the words of Almighty Allah, "and fight the pagans all together as they fight you all together," and "fight them until there is no more tumult or oppression, and there prevail justice and faith in Allah."
