Q: What proof could incriminate the Jews of involvement in this incident?

Gamei'a: All the signs indicate that the Jews have the most to gain from an explosion like that. They are the only ones capable of planning such acts. First of all, it was found that the automatic pilot was neutralized a few minutes before the flight, and the automatic pilot cannot be neutralized if you don't have command of the control tower. Second, the black boxes were found to contain no information; you cannot erase the information from these boxes if you do not plan it ahead of time on the plane. Third, America has the most powerful intelligence apparatuses, the FBI and the CIA... How did [the perpetrators] manage to infiltrate America without their knowledge? Fourth, Jews control decision-making in the airports and in the sensitive centers in the White House and the Pentagon. Fifth, to date America has presented no proof incriminating Osama bin Laden and Al-Qa'ida.

If we take these things into account and look closely at the incident, we will find that only the Jews are capable of planning such an incident, because it was planned with great precision of which Osama bin Laden or any other Islamic organization or intelligence apparatus is incapable...

Q: What about the American president's declarations that the war that the U.S. is waging is a crusade?

Gamei'a: Herein lies the danger. As President Bush said, this is a crusade against Islam and against Muslims, but the American people are innocent in this matter, because the war was planned falsely....

For this reason, I advise every Arab and every Muslim leader not to offer any aid whatsoever to the oppressing superpower [to help it] attack Muslims, because this is a betrayal of Allah and his Prophet...

On the news in the U.S., it was said that four thousand Jews did not come to work at the World Trade Center on the day of the incident, and that the police arrested a group of Jews rejoicing in the streets at the time of the incident... This news item was hushed up immediately after it was broadcast... The Jews who control the media acted to hush it up so that the American people would not know. If it became known to the American people, they would have done to the Jews what Hitler did!...

Q: Do you think that the American leadership will back down from the decision to go to war?

Gamei'a: An American attack on Afghanistan will constitute terrorism, as the U.S. did in Iraq and in Palestine... I think that this war will be the end of America the oppressor. I see America as the second 'Aad [in Islamic tradition, 'Aad and Thamud were two Arab tribes that were annihilated because they deviated from the path of Allah]... The U.S. has the same traits as the first 'Aad: it has skyscrapers and large factories. Allah will impose on the people of the second 'Aad [i.e. the Americans] what he imposed on the people of the first 'Aad, because they are a people who are arrogant in their power, but Allah will avenge himself on them.

Arab Leaders Lie

Morris J. Amitay

It is often said that truth is the first casualty of war. And, not surprisingly then, we can expect the Taliban and their fellow travelers to conjure up and exaggerate civilian casualties in order to thwart the U.S. bombing campaign. This, of course, while mosques, schools, and hospitals, are routinely used by the Taliban to harbor their troops and war materiel. We should also expect to hear fanciful and exaggerated claims of U.S. casualties and descriptions of engagements and events that never took place.

By now it would seem that our media would challenge blatant lies by Arab leaders and their spokesmen. But, while prone to pass judgment on our own official statements, most of our media report Muslim and Arab claims at face value. And, in the case of Israel, often report Israeli statements and off-the-wall Arab claims equally. Israeli tanks always seem to be firing at "refugee camps," with Palestinian gunmen invariably described as peaceful farmers picking olives, or young schoolboys just tossing stones. This kind of reporting may be attributed somewhat to malice, but it is still largely caused by ignorance or laziness. The overriding factor here, one that is not sufficiently appreciated is a simple one--Arab leaders lie. They lie to everyone--to the media, to their own people, and even to themselves. Such a terribly politically incorrect statement leaves one open to charges of racism. So to put it more delicately, this phenomenon could be explained as being based upon cultural differences. While we were brought up to be like little George Washington and never tell a lie, in the Arab world, truth is subjective. It is what you want it to be, not what is. Conspiracy theories abound to the point many could be considered humorous, if they weren't taken seriously.

There is the widespread belief in the Arab world that it was the Mossad that perpetrated the destruction of the World Trade Center and the attack on the Pentagon. While this has to be considered ridiculous on its face, how about American pundits and politicians who repeat the mantra that "Islam is peace"? If respect for the truth is not exactly a pillar of Islam, neither is peace. Islam, to put it quite bluntly, is violent, intolerant, and divides the world into believers and non-believers, or infidels. While one could argue that the Old Testament is also vengeful--e.g. "an eye for an eye," Judaism has
