Muslim 911 Conspiracy Theories
Disturbing, but Not Unexpected
“Author says the most disturbing aspect
is that these theories come from
authoritative sources”

Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam – “The World
Trade Center 911 attacks were totally a
set up; they were not done by Muslims,
or if they were perpetrated by Muslim
fanatics then they did not act alone.
There were Zionist and US government
co-conspirators calling the shots” say
many authority figures across the Middle
East.
Scores of Muslim based conspiracy
theories are coming to front in Arab and
Muslim societies as has been underscored
by a recent article by Steven Stalinsky
in the New York Sun. Five years on from
the tragic events of September 11th,
2001, in the Islamic world everyone from
Jewish Zionists to the White House are
implicated with the Muslims simply
playing the role of the naïve patsy.
Many who study conspiracy theories are
concerned about the implications of
this. But they are not surprised.
“Usually people who come up with these
theories obviously tend to not trust
governments in any shape or form,
especially their own government,” said
Gary Dale Cearley, author of “Thou Shalt
Not Bear False Witness: The Truth About
the Vatican and the Birth of Islam”,
“But there are also conspiracy theorists
who also simply tend to see more of the
darker sides of human nature in order to
interpret in their minds grand events
around them. In this particular case,
the 911 tragedy, I see both types of
conspiracy theorists at work, but I
clearly see more of the latter. In fact,
the common link that I see in all of
these theories coming forward from the
Muslim world is a rejection of the idea
that Muslim societies are producing
blood thirsty terrorists. And this is
very, very dangerous. When the truth
becomes the enemy the war is over.”
Outspoken 911 doubters in the Islamic
world include well known clerics,
military officers, a Saudi prince, and
even Egyptian president Hosni Mubarak.
Al Jazeera, the Bahraini based pan-Arab
media giant, even recently aired its own
documentary which claimed that the
Mossad was behind the terrorist act
while Iranian television ran two
separate documentaries, one showing a
Jewish conspiracy and the other showing
this to be the work of America’s own
government.
“The problem with all of these theories,
why they cannot be true, is simple,”
said Gary Dale Cearley, “Al Qaeda
claimed responsibility for the attacks.
If this had been a Jewish Zionist plot
or the hand of the ‘dark side’ of the
American government, then there would
not have been these victorious claims of
Al Qaeda and further threats based along
the same lines.”
Cearley has a rule of thumb when looking
at these conspiracy theories…
“The more convoluted a theory,” he says,
“The less chance the theory is true. If
there are many actors in a supposed plot
who are acting in unnatural ways but
generally in covert concert, then it
will be easy to find holes in the
theory.”
Gary Dale Cearley should know. He is the
author who took apart the Vatican Islam
Conspiracy started by Alberto Rivera and
Jack Chick as a religious tract, but now
very popular with conspiracy theory
fanatics, such as David Icke.
“I have to hand it to these conspiracy
theorists like David Icke and Alex Jones,”
said Cearley, “They are creative people
if nothing else. But they are relatively
harmless. They are the fringes of
society pandering to our insecurities.
What we have with the Muslim 911
theorists is entirely different. They
are not the fringes of society. They are
people at the top speaking out. The more
I hear of it the more I believe that
this is simply a refusal on their part
to look inward into their societies and
cultures. They do not want to accept the
societal short comings and failures that
produce these fanatics. It is nothing
less than refusal to believe that this
radicalism that is killing innocent
people daily needs to be dealt with at
home. It is like the Ayatollah Khatami
saying in Chicago that the Islamic world
is exporting terrorism because of the
Western world’s policies. That is to say
that they [the Muslim leadership] do not
have to deal with the situation. We
westerners have to. And this is
absolutely wrong. It is taking a half
truth and running with it.”
Gary Dale Cearley is the author of “Thou
Shalt Not Bear False Witness: The Truth
about the Vatican and the Birth of Islam”,
which deals directly with the
Evangelical Christian inspired Vatican
Islam Conspiracy. This book is available
on Amazon.com, Barnes and Noble and
Books-A-Million, as well as selected
outlets around the world. He is a
multilingual writer who specializes in
historical subjects and has been an
expatriate in Asia for many years. Gary
Dale currently lives in Ho Chi Minh
City. |
