“Will terrorism come to America, and if so, when and where?” “Yes,” he said, “I believe it will, and the most likely city will be New York…and the building, the Empire State Building in that it’s the tallest.” Isser Harrel (who ran Israel’s Mossad Intelligence network from 1947 to 1963) was correct the year he told me that the Empire State Building was the tallest building; however, the following year, the much taller Twin Towers were built. That meeting took place decades ago!

On Tuesday, September 11, terrorists delivered two 189-ton bombs in the form of fully fueled aircraft. Yet as horrific as that demonic attack was, it was not the worst-case scenario.

The 21 st Century terrorists have access to chemical and biological weapons that can kill tens of thousands in a matter of minutes. Extremist Islamic terrorist organizations nullify the need to have air power or Intercontinental missiles as delivery systems for an Islamic nuclear payload. The terrorists themselves will be the delivery system. In the worst of such scenarios, the consequences could be not a car bomb, but a nuclear bomb.

Bin Laden issued a statement called the “Nuclear Bomb of Islam.” In it he said, “The international Islamic front for fighting the Jews and Crusaders is the duty of all Muslims.” He called on all Muslims to “…prepare for as much force as possible to terrorize the enemies of God.”

This new 21 st Century terrorism now is a direct confrontation against “The Great Satan – America” who in the eyes of the bin Ladens of the world is desecrating the cradle of Islam. Bin Laden’s network Al-Qa’ida (The Base) is a coalition of the most diabolical terrorist organizations in the world, all linked together with a common cause – to attack the kingdom of evil – America. The actions of bin Laden and his terrorist links could not be possible without a broad infrastructure of government movements and organizations that support terror directly or indirectly.

Tuesday, September 11, 2001 was a day of celebration – like a sporting event – among the world family of terrorists. Like a team sport, terrorism is a team effort. To win--America must focus on the whole team of opponents instead of one player.

After more than 300 suicide attacks in 14 countries through 17 organizations– just this year– it’s time to deal harshly with the family of terrorists and their sponsors.

Even in World War II, America was not forced to confront suicide bombers on its own soil. We never concluded, in WWII, we could win the war by shooting down one suicide bomber. The victory obviously required more systemic measures. Likewise, to truly defeat terrorism, we need to open our eyes to the obvious–that Osama Bin Laden is a card-carrying member of a terrorist cartel who is received with honor by the Saddam Husseins of the Middle East (terrorist states) – and, then direct bold efforts to stop him and aggressively stifle the entire scope and network of terrorist activity.

Terrorism shows itself to us in 21 st Century makeover. Today, terrorist states generally don’t take hostages. Incognito--they can pose greater psychological damage by paralyzing, confusing and diminishing the ability of a nation to retaliate.

Young terrorists are used as Jihad bait by elusive terrorist states and organizations. It’s a “don’t ask, don’t tell” world where the sponsors, with tears in their eyes, innocently express their condolences to victimized countries. Organized crime is about greed. Terrorism is about glory…the glory of humiliating “The Great Satan – America”…the glory of believing that all of the terrorists’ family members are guaranteed a place in heaven because of their acts, and that, as young men, they will be greeted in Heaven with a room full of voluptuous virgins.

Does it seem a little strange that Syria, Iran, Libya, Iraq, Egypt, Afghanistan, Lebanon, and even Palestine (the P. L. O.) have never turned a terrorist over to America, and have never had problems with the terrorists they harbor? This is the reason for the dancing in the streets. It’s the theater of the absurd, and a festival of hypocrisy!

The terrorist cross hairs are on “The Great Satan – America” that they see as the pig polluting the world with her prosperity, power and pornography and infecting the Islamic vision with her moral and religious perversion. Terrorists don’t hate the West because of Israel; they hate Israel because of the West. Why the Twin Towers? Because it was a symbol of America’s influence. The towers were 100 stories high and could be seen from 150 miles away. In 1993, a car- bomb failed to destroy the World Trade Center.

Sheikh Omar Abdel Rahman, spiritual leader of the World Trade Center bombers in 1993 said, “The obligation of Allah is upon us to wage Jihad for the sake of Allah…We have to thoroughly demoralize the enemies of God by blowing up their towers that constitute the pillars of their civilization…the high buildings of which they are so proud.”

The New York police found 47 boxes of Rahman’s terrorist literature. Rahman, who was involved in the assassination of Egyptian President Anwar Sadat, came to America in 1990, free to set up his terrorist shop in New Jersey as if with our blessing.

PBS, in a piece aired in 1994, described the terrorist team effort. The documentary revealed the threat of a quilt-work of Islamic groups and terrorist sponsors that have sprung up across America since the Iranian revolution. These groups include arms of Islamic Jihad, Hamas, and Hizballah with cells in New York, Florida, Chicago, Kansas City, and Dallas. The groups hide behind a smoke screen of small businesses and religious and charitable Islamic groups. These team members work in the U. S. to raise funds, recruit volunteers, and lay plans for terrorist missions for the ultimate battle against “The Great Satan.” Their primary objective is to succeed with the mission without being blamed, then to realize widespread media coverage, and to maximize psychological and economic damage through terror.

It’s past time that America drew a line in the sand. The conspirators of America’s greatest terrorist attack in U. S. history walked freely in our streets. The truth is we have thousands of terrorist sympathizers and supporters living in the U.S. We must immediately take a hard look at our laws regulating and screening immigration and asylum seekers, and deal aggressively with terrorists who have already slipped through the cracks.

Secondly, America needs to focus on the terrorist cartel and work aggressively with all western democracies to cut it off – like the head of a poisonous snake. As long as we allow organizations to harbor terrorists, and countries to empower them and reward them, the network will thrive. Syria poses a prime example. She received one billion dollars for providing a show of force during the Persian Gulf War. Syria is recognized by the State Department as a terrorist country. When the U.S. this week asked Syria to be part of the coalition against terrorism, they flatly refused.

Thirdly, America must outlaw the businesses and fundraising groups operating legally in this country yet supporting terrorism; arrest and, at the very least, deport the groups and individuals.

Fourthly, we need to freeze financial assets of terrorist regimes and organizations throughout the entire western world. Countries and organizations that harbor terrorists should not even be able to spit in the wind without it coming back in their faces.

Once America makes up its mind to deal aggressively with terrorists through economic and military retaliation, the family of terrorism will fragment, and no longer will terrorism be a team effort.
