If he can control Satan then why did he let 911 happen?

Trust me, if God weren't restraining satan and his angels all these years, there would be nothing left of mankind by now. As it is, God is going to have to cut it short or there will be no one left.
Rom. 9:28 For he will finish the work, and cut it short in righteousness: because a short work will the Lord make upon the earth.
Rom. 9:29 And as Isaiah said before, Except the Lord of Sabaoth had left us a seed, we had been as Sodom, and been made like unto Gomorrah.
God bless.

God could control Satan but that would defeat the purpose of allowing Satan to live after he challenged God. His sinfulness has to be proven to all the angels and the saved. God is proving His love by not destroying Satan.
Satan accused God of having laws and rules only to keep the angels under him. However, God's rules were and are to protect those he loves. In order to prove that, God must let sin play out so that all of creation will know that God's rules are out of love, not dominance.
9-11 was another proof that Satan is evil and does not have humanity's best interest at heart. If those people who flew into the World Trade Center Buildings had followed God's law, they would have not killed innocents. Proving that NOT following God's will is harmful to all humanity.

God does not make mean spirited people. This is a choice people make.
God's desire for all of His children (us) to repent and obtained
a place in Heaven.
Satan is the world's prince, he will be destroyed and all of those who followed him.
911 was Satan himself in action. Satan has taken so many young Muslim men to believe that they are performing a deed for God. (Pray for these young Muslim that they will see they are being used, and open their hearts to the truth.)
This is farther from the truth, God is not killing others,
He is peace and tranquility Satan is chaos.
God is love not mean spirited.

God did not make "mean" spirited people, He made the people & with GREAT purpose!
The people allow Satan to run there lives and make a muck of things.
Do not fret! God WILL take care of them in HIS time, not ours!
He even says "I will make them a foot stool".
He will get control Satan some day, Have Faith!

God created mean spirited people because humans were made in His image.
God can't control Satan because Satan is part of God (how else could he be allowed by God to control both Earth and Hell...God is the creative force, and Satan is the corruptive influence, neither can directly affect the other, because they are two parts of the same whole..)

God didn't make mean spirited people.
It's through the original sin that man came to know good and bad, and began sinning.
If God could control Satan, then God would not be able to hold Satan accountable for his transgressions.
God didn't create robots, but individuals with free will.

Read Romans 1:16-32 in the Holy Bible, then read Romans 2:1-36 This is about evil people.
Then read Matthew 25:41 Where Satan is going.
That is if you want to know what God says about it.

God didn't make mean spirited people, people choose to be mean or kind. Gos doesn't control satan or anyone for that matter, especially since satan is just and evil energy, not a real person.

God has a hand on everything.
For if God were to take his hand away from this planet we would most certainly all die yes.
CHOICES its all about the choices that we make.
Some people make better choices than others.
They may think that they are right and we have no place to judge them but they make theirs and we make ours we have to cope and there is nothing we can do about it.
Also remember Jesus is coming, no one knows when but he is coming.
Sorry for rambling yes

God didn't make anything because he isn't real. But if you do believe in him, then I would also add that god essentially created satan, so doesn't that mean that all evil comes from god?
