“So far none of the hijackers’ families have come forward to request the remains. Khaled Abou El Fadl, a law professor at UCLA and an authority on Islamic law, says he would be surprised if they did: ‘I’ve heard many times in the Muslim community that to claim and bury a body of one of the hijackers is to admit or accept that it was indeed those hijackers who committed 9/11.’”

and we couldn’t have that, could we?
homesickamerican on January 3, 2009 at 9:37 PM
Denial is a central tenet of Islam.
blankminde on January 3, 2009 at 9:38 PM
Wouldn’t ‘em either.
abobo on January 3, 2009 at 9:40 PM
I thought is was an honor to kill infidels and become a martyr. What am I missing here? You would think from how they talk that families would be fighting with one another trying to claim “that my boy!”
USBB on January 3, 2009 at 9:41 PM
What a schizophrenic ideology extremist Islam is. On one hand the guy’s a hero and 9/11 is the greatest Islamic accomplishment of the last hundred years. On the other they want to blame in on Bush/Zionists.
madne0 on January 3, 2009 at 9:43 PM
Ship the remains to Gitmo.
Zorro on January 3, 2009 at 9:45 PM
Grind up the remains and feed it to some pigs!
xplodeit on January 3, 2009 at 9:46 PM
I have some hungry pigs, and I won’t charge a disposal fee.
GarandFan on January 3, 2009 at 9:48 PM
Goodness, stressed Muslims could self radicalize. How may we soothe them?
BL@KBIRD on January 3, 2009 at 9:50 PM
Purple Fury on January 3, 2009 at 9:51 PM
Part of the article talks about how the families of the hijackers won’t take responsibility for the deeds of their relatives, saying the attacks were an inside job. This is what is so disgusting about American conspiracy theorists. They give aid and comfort to these animals.
pleaseandthankyou on January 3, 2009 at 9:52 PM
What surprises me is that there WERE any remains.
GoodBoy on January 3, 2009 at 9:55 PM
The passage right after the one excerpted is:
Sounds like denial. Would you want to admit that one of your family members did this horrible thing? They’d rather believe in some crazy conspiracy theory than live with the truth.
ramrocks on January 3, 2009 at 9:57 PM
DONT U GUYZ THINK ITS JUST A LITTLE BIT WEERD THAT NONE OF TEH FAMILIES HAS CLAIMED TEH REMAINS?????
DOESNT THIS MEANS THAT THERE ARE NO FAMILIES, THERE ARE NO HIJACKERS??
THAT IT WAS BUSH ALL ALONG??? MAKES YOU WONDER.

Remains of the Day
———————
“Everyone is waiting because no one quite knows what to do.”
In the end,enertia and indecision may provide the most fit
ting final resting place for the remnants of the terrorists,
lost to time and memory in some forgotten government vault,
unnamed,unburied,and unwanted.
————————————————-
————————————————–
And what about the murders of over 3,000 people!
What about the families,that to this day,can’t even
find any solace in remnants that they don’t or ever
will have!
And this has a tinge of the government as bitter,and
just refuses,out of spite,to release said remnants of
terrorists!
Cue CAIR,El Code Pinko’s and the ever concerned ACLU!!
The Twin Towers were murdered,and what about those ‘Remnants’!
The Terrorists remnants,who the h#ll cares!!!!!!!!!!!!!
canopfor on January 3, 2009 at 10:03 PM
What a schizophrenic ideology extremist Islam is. – Mad
The kid featured in “Escape from hamas” on Fox said “Islam is the most bi-polar ideology on earth” Haha, so true!
Tony737 on January 3, 2009 at 10:04 PM
I would not treat a poor pig in that manner. Besides, a far worse insult would be for some Christian group to take the remains and give them a good Christian burial. Maybe get a Rabbi to come and say blessings also.
JonRoss on January 3, 2009 at 10:04 PM
LOL. Maybe they could have a cartoon of Mohammed buried with the remains too. For good measure and all.
mjk on January 3, 2009 at 10:11 PM
I don’t think the Jews nor Catholics would entertain a funeral for the 9/11 culprits.
Since dogs are also unclean animals, just throw the remains in a landfill where dogs can get at them. Take pictures and send copies to the families.
SeniorD on January 3, 2009 at 10:18 PM
Since dogs are also unclean animals … – Sr.D
Can’t they just give thir dog a bath?
Wait, I forgot, THEY don’t even bathe themselves … nevermind!
I wonder what Cypher’s collie thinks of this?
Tony737 on January 3, 2009 at 10:24 PM
If someone put a gun to my head, and told me I had to choose who the most single evil human being ever to walk the planet was:
1. Stalin
2. Hitler
3. Pol Pot
4. Mao
5. Bin Laden
6. Hussein (Saddam, not B. Hussein Obama)
7. Muhammed Attah
I’d tell them to pull the trigger.
All are equally horrendous. (Slight edge to Pol Pot.)
ericdondero on January 3, 2009 at 10:29 PM
How in the name of heaven would you know the terrorists remains from the ruble of the World Trade Center? Am I missing something?
mixplix on January 3, 2009 at 10:36 PM
The NYT could just send a staff writer to teach them how to blame everything on Bush.
snaggletoothie on January 3, 2009 at 10:39 PM
Maybe not yet B. Hussein Obama, but with his forign policy people like Mrs. Bill Clinton, Madeline “No actionable evidence” Albright, and Zbigniew “it always the jews fault” Zbrinski, B. Hussein Obama may be setting us for something really bad. I’m just saying.
JonRoss on January 3, 2009 at 10:39 PM
I would NOT. Do that to my pigs.
Alana on January 3, 2009 at 10:44 PM
This is a dartboard face if ever I did see one.
Coronagold on January 3, 2009 at 10:46 PM
Well, if I were vindictive, I’d take use stem cell techniques to grow new terrorist facsimiles — and then I’d kill them.
After all, if the liberals are right, all we would be killing would be blobs of cells — because they wouldn’t be human.
unclesmrgol on January 3, 2009 at 11:01 PM
To suggest that all of the most evil humans have lived during our time (more or less) is a tad bit arrogant. Have you ever seen some of the medieval torture devices they used to use? Just because the men you listed were all capable of murder on a mass scale doesn’t mean that there weren’t droves of men throughout history who would gladly take their place. The fight against evil is eternal, and only recently have men been so foolish as to show themselves so evil so that we may actually bring them to justice. In the past, civilians weren’t so lucky.
jimmy the notable on January 3, 2009 at 11:07 PM
… and if The One and his followers manage to abrogate the 2nd amendment, civilians will again be in the same position in the future. Note: I’m not saying The One will be that consummate evil, but his contempt for the 2nd, as shown by his actions, not his words, could help put in place the circumstances by which people in the future will once again fear the coming of those who would enslave them.
AZfederalist on January 3, 2009 at 11:11 PM

Denial ain’t just a river in Egypt.
Illinidiva on January 3, 2009 at 11:23 PM
Just bury the remains of those scum in an unmarked plot and be done with it.
It’s not as though they were human.
irongrampa on January 3, 2009 at 11:26 PM
Let the Israelis sprinkle the remains over a few 155 artillery shells before launching them into Gaza.
Bishop on January 3, 2009 at 11:27 PM
Of course, were the situation reversed, this wouldn’t even be a topic of discussion. The fevered mobs would have already dragged the remains through the streets, praising that nightmare of a god Allah for delivering a handful of infidels to them at the minor cost of only a few thousand believers.
hillbillyjim on January 3, 2009 at 11:31 PM
hillbillyjim on January 3, 2009 at 11:31 PM
Hell, they damn near drag their own people’s remains through the streets in celebration of some murder or mass killing.
FOX had a pic of a mosque full of worshippers on their knees, a bunch of dead body “martyrs” piled up front in bedsheets and plastic bags. The entire Paleoswinian region is a giant death cult.
Bishop on January 3, 2009 at 11:34 PM
Mix all their remains into a sealed (bullet proof) clear glass globe and hang it over an eternal flame at each of the sites.
A lasting reminder that our enemies will BURN IN HELL forever!
FloridaBill on January 3, 2009 at 11:34 PM
Imbed them in the first shipment of urinal cakes bound for the new Yankee Stadium.
KSgop on January 3, 2009 at 11:41 PM
If they do not wish to accept the remains, then the remains should be defiled and they are in no position to complain about it if we do. If they are not who we believe they are, then we have no reason to believe they are muslim. Please defile the remains.
Blake on January 3, 2009 at 11:44 PM
I bet you could rent the Phelps clan to give them a good send-off. For a hefty fee of course.
4shoes on January 3, 2009 at 11:45 PM
I fear that the disease has spread much further than that. Islam is a giant, brutal, self-perpetuating death cult. Remember the savages in Somalia (Blackhawk Down)? There are many instances of this kind of barbarism, from the Phillipines to Paris.
hillbillyjim on January 3, 2009 at 11:46 PM

hillbillyjim on January 3, 2009 at 11:46 PM
Jawohl, though the savage adherents of the religion haven’t yet taken the steps of parading bloody bodies through the streets of western cities yet. “Yet” being the operative term.
Detroit as the next Gaza? Or will Paris and London beat them to the punch?

Oops, let’s try that again:

AZfederalist on January 3, 2009 at 11:50 PM
how is there possibly any remains left and identifiable?
jp on January 3, 2009 at 11:51 PM
Well, I dunno, they could always “Convert to Judaism” (Islam is neat in that it is OK to lie to Infidels) just long enough to claim the “bodies”. Seems to me that they are sure letting Mohammad down.
MB4 on January 3, 2009 at 11:55 PM
They just need a little more, “understanding”…….
DL13 on January 3, 2009 at 11:57 PM
And we certainly can’t have that,it would really upset the likes of Rosie,Charlie Sheen,Howard Dean and about 40% of the democratic party.
Baxter Greene on January 4, 2009 at 12:00 AM
You say that like that’s a bad thing, infidel.
Aleph on January 4, 2009 at 12:00 AM
Great idea. Using them for target practice, soaking them with second hand beer. Might just increase beer sales. And we know how the jihadists hate alcohol. Then flush them out in the sewers beneath the thriving City of New York. Fitting end to them.
JonRoss on January 4, 2009 at 12:04 AM
I like the idea of feeding them to pigs. I’d add that grinding them up and making them into cat litter would be appropriate as well.
venividivici on January 4, 2009 at 12:05 AM

A construction worker found what looked like a pile of dog shat in the debris, I guess they figured it must have been Atta.

I had to spit on his picture! What a sick MF. No way in hell will I ever submit to Islam. But now that monkeys will be running this Country, What will they do next?
sheebe on January 4, 2009 at 12:07 AM
Happy January to you
Our leaders were born in a zoo
They are monkeys and donkeys
And soon you will be royally screwed
Cheshire Cat on January 4, 2009 at 12:12 AM
Mosques are plenty, graveyards are plenty, but morals and whiskey are scarce. The Koran does not permit Mohammedans to drink. Their natural instincts do not permit them to be moral.
- Mark Twain
MB4 on January 4, 2009 at 12:16 AM
These comments likening Obama to a monkey are disgusting and give conservatives a bad name. It’s like there are a bunch of twelve year olds here. I’m sure Hot Air completely disassociates itself from such comments and everyone on this blog with a shred of decency and class should denounce them as well. Isn’t this supposed to be a place for adults to discuss issues with a certain level of maturity? Grow up!
pleaseandthankyou on January 4, 2009 at 12:21 AM
א,
You ever consider open mic night? I hear Tel Aviv has some wonderful comedy clubs.
hillbillyjim on January 4, 2009 at 12:27 AM
Er, uh, you are the only one who has associated monkeys and Obama, here- no one else. The author said “now that monkeys will be leading our country…”, never mentioning the former Illinois Senator.
Only you.
localmalcontent on January 4, 2009 at 12:29 AM
Localmalcontent,
Please tell me how else I’m supposed to interpret that statement Einstein.

Chill out miss manners or you will have a coronary.

Cheshire Cat,
I can’t tell you how confident and relaxed I am when I say with utmost certainty that you are a racist pig.
pleaseandthankyou on January 4, 2009 at 12:34 AM
The great dream of Islam will come true. Muslims dream to see flags that read: “There is no god but Allah” fluttering in the wind over Tel Aviv comedy clubs and SNL and Hotair, Allah willing.
Aleph on January 4, 2009 at 12:36 AM
For example, Senator Reid, congressperson Pelosi, Rahm Emmanuel, Demo. chairman Dean;

localmalcontent on January 4, 2009 at 12:38 AM
Just a few of the really really good suggestions offered by LOYAL Americans, although there are a few commenters here that can not be counted among them
I think they know who they are……
Vntnrse on January 4, 2009 at 12:38 AM
Agreed. This is no better than the Chimpy McBushitler tantrums that have been a daily feature of the leading lefty blogs for the last eight years, and has no place here as far as I am concerned.
Some immature posts can be attributed to children. Some immature posts can be funny. Some are sad and pathetic, and some are revolting.
hillbillyjim on January 4, 2009 at 12:38 AM
and my point remains quite valid, pleaseandthankyou:
You are still the only one on this post who associated monkeys and Obama.
localmalcontent on January 4, 2009 at 12:39 AM
Out: Monkeys and Donkeys.
In: Pigs.
Cheshire Cat on January 4, 2009 at 12:42 AM
Those people you mentioned have already been in power, so the “now that …” part of the statement refers to a NEWLY elected official. Sorry, nice try.
PS Don’t recall my using an expletive…please point one out. Also, FYI, you don’t haver to be a Dem to be disgusted by puerile , racist statements. You just have to have a shred of decency. Something you don’t have.
pleaseandthankyou on January 4, 2009 at 12:43 AM
Maybe it was something he ate and it gave him a vision of some kind.
Cheshire Cat on January 4, 2009 at 12:44 AM
I vote Monkeys out but I want to keep Donkeys and Pigs, the two kinda go together. I am still trying to decide if Jessie Jackson’s “Hymie Town” reference to NY makes him a racist pig or Progressive intellectual. No doubt he will be sitting close to The One on inauguration day.
JonRoss on January 4, 2009 at 12:46 AM
Muslims also dream of 72 virgins awaiting them. What their child-molesting prophet forgot to tell them is that it is 72 virgin goats….not that there’s anything wrong with that.
hillbillyjim on January 4, 2009 at 12:49 AM
pleaseandthankyou-
You are obviously an easily aggitated person; one who reads expletives where none are uttered.
MY POINT remains valid: YOU are the only person here, who associated monkeys and Obama. You wrote that. No one else. And then you try to validate that, your belief, as best as you can.
The obvious fact that the original author,”sheebe”, used the plural “monkeys” is all the evidence I need to validate your inherent racism.
Einstein.
localmalcontent on January 4, 2009 at 12:53 AM
Nope. Just 72 very large, randy men who like their biatches hairy and salads tossed.
Laura in Maryland on January 4, 2009 at 12:55 AM
Don’t let it go any further than you and me infidel or I will have to declare a jihad on you but word is that brother Mohammad Atta spent his last night on earth with 4 goats. He said that once you go goat you never go back.
Aleph on January 4, 2009 at 12:56 AM
And reject the 9/11 hijackers they should, if only we we knew for sure. So, do the families of Muslim suicide bombers request the remains of their…. dear departed?
Am I dreaming? Or did I just picture that scene from Indiana Jones where the crate containing the remains are being wheeled away into some warehouse.
How about using the DNA material to develop some kind of …. cure.
Kini on January 4, 2009 at 12:56 AM
I like that. Very creative. And yep, we all will be royally screwed.
sheebe on January 4, 2009 at 12:58 AM
I took the monkey comment the the same way. But never fear about the coronary (as if you cared).
On the other hand, times are such that we humans are coming to blows about everything–matters large, small and in between. The spiritually discerning should take note.
baldilocks on January 4, 2009 at 12:58 AM
“Monkeys will be leading.” Obama and his cabinet will be leading.
This is not rocket science.
baldilocks on January 4, 2009 at 1:02 AM
So those goatees….an inside joke?
hillbillyjim on January 4, 2009 at 1:03 AM
Well, I didn’t really take the Monkey and donkey quote that way. I can see how some did though. I didn’t really notice. So I will apologize in advance. I thought what Cheshire Cat wrote was cute. That is all. I don’t like The One, but I don’t think he is a monkey. Besides, Democrats are donkeys! And he is technically a Donkey. With no pun intended. Elephant, Republican’s, Donkey Democrat.
sheebe on January 4, 2009 at 1:04 AM
Appreciated.
baldilocks on January 4, 2009 at 1:05 AM
Localmalcontent,
Please read the comments carefully. YOU asked if I kissed my mother with such a vile mouth, yet I uttered no expletives, so thanks for confirming my point. Try to follow along.
Second, as I said before, I couldn’t be more calm and relaxed in my analysis that the following statement ” But now that monkeys will be running this Country” would be interpreted by 99.999% of the general public as being a reference to our president-elect. I guess if you’re stupid enough to think that calling a black person a monkey in the year 2009 isl cool, then you are stupid enough to argue that that statement doesn’t refer to Barack Obama.
pleaseandthankyou on January 4, 2009 at 1:05 AM
Sorry, but I had to fix that. You’re giving us E TN hillbillies a bad name.
JonRoss on January 4, 2009 at 1:06 AM
Did you know that something like 40% of 9/11 victims’ remains have never been identified?
CP on January 4, 2009 at 1:06 AM
You can shove it where the sun doesn’t shine. So a word Monkey’s make you think of The One? Is obvious you are a Liberal. No imagination. One sided. NO sense of humor. Don’t know what to tell you. It is a Free Country and Free Speech. At least Monkeys is better then other words that I have heard. Get a life and quit sniveling like a baby.
sheebe on January 4, 2009 at 1:07 AM
Looking at Atta’s face reminds me of how wrong the democrats were to treat terrorism with “Police Action” instead of confronting it and taking it on where it breeds and is supported.
Although certainly not perfect,going on the offensive has dropped terrorism around the world by over 40% and we have had no attacks on our mainland or major US interest abroad since around 2004.
Another major issue the democrats were wrong about was Iraq.They said we could not win the war and Sunni,Shia,and Kurds would never get along.Democratic majority leader Harry Reid went so far as to state this on the floor of the Senate.democrats voted against the SURGE.
Violence down by over 90%,almost all benchmarks achieved and working on free election #4 are a few of the many examples of how wrong the democrats were on this issue(that they voted to send our Soldiers off to fight in).
But one of their all encompassing and most serious of all issues in the world for democrats has been “Global Warming”.
The eco-fundamentalist from hollywood to the UN and their anointed one Al-gore have told us time and again how we are all going to die if we don’t stop breeding,driving big cars,and fail to purchase his carbon credits.
More and more scientist,their data,and the events on the ground(ice caps thicker than ever,no killer hurricanes etc.etc.) are showing this to be the biggest con ever and the sheep that bought in to it to be even bigger idiots.
Now liberals are starting to try and change history on this subject like they are on Iraq.Look at this post from of all places,the huffington post:
(via instapundit)
Mr. Gore: Apology Accepted
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/harold-ambler/mr-gore-apology-accepted_b_154982.html?view=print
That’s right.
An absolute bitc$ slapping of Al-gore and his eco-fundamentalism at one of the most liberal sites next to Kos.
The more we learn about “Climate Change”,the more we understand that Gore and his followers don’t know a dam#ed thing about what they are talking about.
Wrong about:
Dealing with terrorism in the 90’s
Iraq
Global Warming
protecting Fannie/Freddie and the sub prime mess
How in the world do these idiots get away with telling everybody how “smart” they are.
Baxter Greene on January 4, 2009 at 1:10 AM
Geeees….you have our permission to pull your panties out of your crack.
JonRoss on January 4, 2009 at 1:10 AM
Yes. And something close to 900 remains from the World Trade Center (if I remember correctly) have never been found.
God knows their names.
baldilocks on January 4, 2009 at 1:10 AM
Actually, I felt kind of bad. So wanted to redeem my self. But then at times we use words that is not targeting one person. localmalcontent just ticked me off though. Monkey’s and monkey is two different meanings. And at time I have said some things. But, he is going to be leading our Country. He better do us right. That is all I can say. So, by keeping up and calling him names. Is not doing me any good. That is really not how I am. Been angry he won. Took it out for a few months. Now is time for me to cool, be the lady that I usually am.
Thank you Baldilocks that made me feel good.
sheebe on January 4, 2009 at 1:11 AM
Folks, forgive each other. Just a request.
baldilocks on January 4, 2009 at 1:11 AM
I’m just a piece of my Father’s handiwork.
baldilocks on January 4, 2009 at 1:12 AM
Wow. Now two who associate monkeys with Obama.
This sure isn’t rocket science; it’s racism.
Perhaps you guys (gals?) are White. I am not. I see/hear this racist stuff everyday, I recognize the inuendo instantly, the subtle slams. And, the ‘Oh, not me’ denials.
Like the one pleaseandthankyou gave us all.
localmalcontent on January 4, 2009 at 1:13 AM
You are misunderstanding. I was agreeing with you.

On the contrary, sheebe, I am a dyed in the wool, young Conservative. You have misread my words, and my (misguided) defense of you.
