It's fashionable (and true) to note that our world changed that day. In the space of barely an hour on that sunny Tuesday morning, more people died than the number of Allies killed on D-Day or during Pearl Harbour -- some 3,000.
Not quite accurate.
The U.S. Army Center of Military History (search) in Washington, D.C., numbers 6,036 American casualties, including wounded and missing. The Heritage Foundation in Washington estimates 4,900 dead. (According to foxnews.com)
We feel like we're probably going to end up with a total of about 4,500 fatalities for both the Americans and Allied countries. Right now, we have about 4,200 names confirmed," she said. "Of course we realize we may never be 100 percent complete." Says Carol Tuckwiller, director of research at the National D-Day Memorial Foundation (search) in Bedford, Va.

the Koran is written in Arabic, which 90% of the world's more than one billion Muslim's don't read. 90% do not know they worship the devil via the koran. I shouldn't be surprised, but I am surprised at the stupidity of the 90% who can't read it but believe it...??? (Muslims are 10% violence and hate, 90% are idiots and fools?) This is islam according to the article.
