Are American Companies Aiding Islam? Because It Sure Looks That Way
By Resa LaRu Kirkland (03/30/06)
If you were a securities company who actually lost employees in the WTC September 11, you would jump at the chance to support a symposium on terrorism, right? How about if you were a major airplane manufacturer who watched helplessly as four planes you might have had a hand in crafting disintegrated on television? Or maybe a supplier of weapons for the law enforcement who bravely and selflessly ran into those burning buildings? Surely companies such as these would recognize the need for such a symposium, and quickly respond to requests for support, right?
Wrong. Very, very, wrong. Welcome back, sleeping giant.
There’s a saying that goes, “If you’re not for us, you’re against us.” It’s not just the leaders of nations who have said it, God Himself stated something similar when He made it clear that there is no fence-sitting with Him; that if you’re not on His side, you are indeed on the devil’s side; you can’t serve both God and Mammon. In the battle zone called Earth where He sent us to learn, surely choosing sides has never been more important than it is now.
So why are so many American businesses choosing the side of Islam? And more importantly, why aren’t we—as their customers, their bottom line, their paychecks—screaming bloody murder at their apparent choice?
Jeffrey Epstein has spent a huge amount of time—and his own money, I might add—preparing for his Terrorist Symposium that is scheduled to take place on April 29 in Washington, DC. Joe Kaufman has written extensively about Jeffrey’s struggle, as well as his own. And along the way, Jeffrey has been refused airtime by CBS/Infiniti radio, and there was no room at the Marriott for his group, but plenty of room at another near-by Marriott to host the annual CAIR banquet. (Also, how many of you are aware that Marriott was the hotel of choice for the 9/11 hijackers? Something’s up with Marriott…)
But the most shocking part of all is the list of companies who turned him away when he approached them for donations. These weren’t little mom and pop companies, or those limited to small areas of the country. These were corporate giants; they read like a “Who’s Who” of America’s best and most lucrative, and not one of them had the money—or even the interest—in helping to fund a terrorist symposium. Not a single one. Even when Mr. Epstein asked them a second time to aid in his OPERATION FIRST RESPONDER—which bridges the gap between concerned citizens that share America’s Truth Forum’s concern for future generations, but can’t attend due to a variety of reasons, and those law enforcement agencies that lack the financial wherewithal to be adequately represented at the forum—by purchasing one airplane seat for these important men so they might attend, their excuses, or flat out lack of response, were infuriating, and absolutely inexcusable..

Yep, only four years out from the greatest attack on American soil, and not a single American company wants to be seen supporting a group whose goal is to inform and at least try to prevent such an occurrence from ever happening again. Those scheduled to speak—Brigitte Gabriel, David Horowitz, Daniel Pipes, Robert Spencer, and many others—are the top minds and voices against terrorism and its Islamic base. They have much to teach us, and we have much to learn.
But why do that when we can just hit that snooze button for a few more minutes? Doing something sucks compared to veggin’ out, right? Just ask any American company out there; they’re counting on you doing just that. After all, they’re on the side of Islam.
Keep the faith, bros, and in all things courage.
