What motivated the 9/11 hijackers?

Question

In this clip below. Besides the FBI, even Hamilton and Kean the motivation for the attack on 9/11 is our love of Israel. "It has consequences. However the 9/11 commission only said 'American polices have consequences.' hmmmm.... it seems like we may want to address this issue.

Think Dr. Ron Paul's ideas are correct. Where in the constitution does it give Congress the authority to take our property (Citizen's money from the treasury) and give it to Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Mexico, Russia, Israel, etc., etc.??

Answer 1

What motivated the 9/11 terrorists?

Differences in religion; ideologies; United States' support for Israel's right to exist.

Enjoy~

Answer 2

The 9/11 terrorists were motivated by a fanatical belief that the United States was the greatest enemy of all Muslims and that striking a blow against this enemy and sacrificing their lives would gain for them a rich reward in heaven.

It is true that some U.S. policies were perceived by Muslims to be directed against the Muslim people. However, the real reason for the 9/11 attack and for other attacks against pro western countries is that the fanatical Muslim leadership has only one goal. This goal is to create a totally Islamic world.

Answer 3

They had lots of reasons, perhaps including love of death. Go and read the history of the region and see what the promises were from the WWI era by the French and British and how well they were kept.
All decisions have consequences - focusing on one decision simplifies the matter to triviality.

Most people include these comments here cannot be blamed if you grow up listening to the right wing and MTV you believe we Americans can do whatever we want or in the latter we can tell you the hit song or fad of the week. Ever since England suppressed the Middle East support for Germany during World War II the Middle East has wanted their freedom. Even today, many of the countries have government set-up and supported by the West. Even prior to World War Two, Western oil barons were extracting great wealth from their oil-rich colonial holdings. They were already well aware that the potential volumes of Middle Eastern oil reserves were conservatively enormous.
However, the likelihood of the West remaining as friendly allies was being threatened by Egyptian Nationalists calling for an end to colonial occupation. A mild sense of panic was beginning to overtake the Western elite because there was growing support for the Nationalization of oil interests throughout the Middle East. This move of course would have put an end to the West's exploitation of Arab oil. The elite knew only too well that oil was inevitably going to bring not only great wealth, but immense power to the Middle Eastern countries. In fact, if Middle East supplies outlasted those in the West, the Arabs could have potentially amassed enough wealth and strategic power to rival or ultimately threaten the supremacy of the West!!



To keep wars from appearing like contests for wealth and power, the elite go to elaborate lengths to disguise the real motives,usually by camouflaging the war in a flag-draped cloak of patriotism. After all, the elite's economic well-being hinges on their ability to successfully conscript and enlist the working class to die in their service, just as serfs were forced to do in Feudal times.
When they finally hit back it is their fault? I don't think so and no I am not agreeing with them. I think they could have gotten better result by either hitting the Statue of Liberty or better threatening to do it. In fact, I think if they had just threatened it many Americans would have seen the issue and been on their side. Remember what your grandmother used to say, "you get more with a teaspoon of sugar then a gallon of vinegar"?

God Bless You and the Southern People (another suppressed people)

Answer 5

ivra about sums it up. I have not read the Koran. But it would not surprise me if these verses are correct. This is what Bin Ladin preaches. This is what is taught to children in Muslim countries. The 1st thing a Muslim child learns is "there is no God but Allah." A muslim mind is easy to manipulate because from the time its owner is able to talk its closed tighter than a drum.

Answer 6

Hey, if you vote, (which I don't, because it is BS) then you gave them the authority, because it is your elected representatives that are doing that, and if you think they are responsive to the people just try to get them to stop...anything.

The hijackers, in my opinion, were motivated by hate of America, (join the club), despair that any other action, or even that action, would accomplish anything, and a love of death, which they apparently found more meaningful and less painful, than life, and some sort of misguided belief, fostered by their leaders (who weren't on the plane) that it was an honorable thing to do.

Answer 7

There were no hijackers!!! , 9/11 was an inside job, remotely controled planes flew to their targets, the phone calls were fake

Answer 8

It seems to be American policy to stick our nose into every countries business.

Answer 9
