Anyone and everyone should be with us at Ground Zero on 911. It is a national day of grieving and remembrance. Don’t let the enemy co-opt this day. Be there.
“AFDI, 9/11 family members, freedom Activists to
hold Memorial and Press Conference at Ground Zero on 9/11” Bloomberg
NEW YORK, August 21 — The human rights organization the American Freedom Defense Initiative (AFDI), a group of 9/11 family members, and noted human rights activists are holding a joint press conference and memorial service at Ground Zero in New York City on September 11, 2013, the twelfth anniversary of the 9/11 jihad terror attacks.

The memorial and press conference will begin at 1PM at the southwest corner of Zuccotti Park, at Church and Cedar streets in lower Manhattan.
The press conference will be hosted by AFDI’s Executive Pamela Geller and Associate Director Robert Spencer. Featured speakers will be 9/11 family members Rosaleen Talon and Nelly Braginsky, 9/11 first responder Alan T. DeVona, Sudanese human rights activist Simon Deng, and Coptic Christian human rights activist Ashraf Ramelah.
Rosaleen Tallon is the sister of firefighter Sean Tallon, who was also killed in the World Trade Center on 9/11. Nelly Braginsky is the mother of Alexander Braginsky, who was killed also killed at the WTC on 9/11. Alan T. DeVona was the Port Authority Police Department World Trade Center Patrol Sergeant at the time of the 9/11 jihad attack.
Deng and Ramelah will explain how the appeasement of jihadists and Islamic supremacists such as is represented by the direction of the National September 11 Memorial and Museum only aids and abets the wholesale persecution of non-Muslims in Sudan, Egypt and elsewhere.
Geller said in a statement: “The Million Muslim March on 9/11 in Washington is an attempt to obscure the reality of what happened on 9/11, portray Muslims as victims, and intimidate government and law enforcement officials into ending surveillance of suspected jihadists. Our memorial and press conference puts the focus back where it should be: on the victims of 9/11, and our need to be vigilant in the face of the ongoing jihad threat.”
The press conference will advocate for the honorable and respectful interment of unidentified 9/11 human remains at Ground Zero – not inside the Museum, as planned. Nearly a decade ago, 9/11 families were promised in writing by the Lower Manhattan Development Corporation (LMDC) in 2003 that these remains would be located in a “separate and distinct repository – separate from any museum or visitor center.” But city officials and the Museum directors reneged on that promise, and plan to place 9,000 unidentified remains 70 feet (seven stories) below ground – where their relatives will be charged $25 admission to visit.
The press conference will also address the non-patriotic theme of the National September 11 Memorial and Museum, including the absence of American flags on the site (there is only one flag at the site, and that one was originally put up by construction workers and then moved to the edge of the site where it can barely be seen at all). This is consistent with the initial rejection by National September 11 Memorial and Museum creative director Michael Shulan’s initial rejection of the iconic flag-raising photo in the Museum, complaining that it was “too rah-rah American.”
Press conference speakers will also note the fact that the photos of the 9/11 jihad terrorists, plus their martyrdom quotes, will be prominently displayed in the Museum, while information on the victims will be in a kiosk, much less prominently displayed. The
victims’ photos will be twelve feet above the floor on one wall (3,000-plus photos), while those of the 19 jihadis will have their own wall, with their murderous statements and artifacts at eye level.Geller concluded: “We will be calling upon the federal government to take over the administration of the National September 11 Memorial and Museum. It should be a national museum. 9/11 family members should not have to pay $25 to visit the remains of 9,000 victims deep underground.”
AFDI stands for:
• The freedom of speech – as opposed to Islamic prohibitions of “blasphemy” and “slander,” which are used effectively to quash honest discussion of jihad and Islamic supremacism;
• The freedom of conscience – as opposed to the Islamic death penalty for apostasy;
• The equality of rights of all people before the law – as opposed to Sharia’s institutionalized discrimination against women and non-Muslims.

“yes to telling the truth” about the fact that 9/11 was an Attack on America – economic strength, military mighty, and political system. the symbolic targets were the Twin towers, the Pentagon, and the Capitol building. the thousands (including unborn babies) who died deserve better than what the “museum” is giving them! STAND BY THE 9/11 VICTIMS!!!

We need as many protesters as possible at the Million muslim march. They need to change the name of their march to Million Muslims Leaving ISLAM March! Because Islam is Constitutionally illegal. Write your congressman to outlaw islam in the United States.

To hold such a memorial service and then press conference at that specific place and time,September,11, 2013, is both a good and necessary thing do. Moreover,the wisdom of the words of the former President of the United States. Thomas Jefferson,apply very must today on this subject of Islam’s militant jihadism with all its evils as his words did apply to his own time. For Mr.Jefferson declared “Our part then is to pursue with steadness what is right… assured that the public approbation will in theend be with us.” Furthermore, Mr Jefferson also stated “Fortitude…teaches us to surmount difficulites; not to fly from them.”

“the photos of the 9/11 jihad terrorists, plus their martyrdom quotes, will be prominently displayed in the Museum” This should not be allowed. What a slap in the face.

hosanna o’bama will be meeting with
the jihadis at the white house

he’ll probably also get out his prayer rug

Pamela,
Could you, please, list every name who sat on the committee, or commission, who voted in these obscene
decisions that broke their word to the 9-11 Families and, thus, the American People, in regards to the identified
remains and the $25 fee? Respect and honoring the Dead is one of the primary societal values throughout human history.
What kind of Human Beings are these? Each one responsible should be given appropriate credit.

The tragedy for canadians is that the then Liberal PM Jean Chretien was quick to visit a mosque in Ottawa to appease muslims that 9/11 had NOTHING to do with islam. Chretien later did go to ground Zero but ignored the wife of a Bank Of Montreal employee killed that day who left his pregnant wife behind among other that saw 24 canadians slaughtered by jihadist thugs that day. Chretien then purged 9/11 from canada’s history as an islamic or muslim based slaughter by burying a memorial Plaque to the 24 victims in a rmote room in Parliament that the public can’t get to. Liberals did the same thing when 240 canadaina were slaughter in 1984 by Sikh terrorist that took down a 747 over the atlantic and killed some workers in japan at the airport by another flight delayed to set-off the bomb on the ground.

Thank you for standing for the truth. I am waiting for the left to silence you and the families as they always do ad hand over the freedom of speech to the Moslems. It would great if you could pull this off. The fresh air of truth would be great.

We’ve done a tribute concert annually since 9/11/02 in Minneapolis. It’s the next best thing to being with Pamela and friends. Thank you for all you have taught me and for standing up for the smallest minority, the individual. Love!
