"In October 2001, following the World Trade Center attacks, New York mayor Rudy Giuliani turned down a $10 million donation from Alwaleed for disaster relief after the prince suggested the United States "must address some of the issues that led to such a criminal attack," and "re-examine its policies in the Middle East."

I noticed that Obama manifest something about his thinking at the National Prayer Breakfast.

He made mention of 9/11 at the National Prayer Breakfast in a list of natural disasters including the Haiti Earthquake, Hurricane Katrina, and 9/11 as events which seemed to be required to return us as a nation back to where our responsibilities laid,...then merged this with the ecumenical idea that all religions require their believers to provide sacrifice for their fellow man.

What I found revealing Obama's innermost thinking, was that while God might discipline his people where they fall away from Him, those who are far removed from faith in Christ perceive such discipline simply as natural disaster and their solution to guilt is to perform an act of charity to substitute for their judgment.

I also found it revealing that from a Muslim perspective, 9/11 may have been considered an 'ethical' requirement to try and force America to return to acts of sacrifice. It sure seemed from listening to Obama that he shared that perspective, listing 9/11 alongside Katrina and Haiti's earthquake as events which force Americans, not back to God, but towards charitable sacrifice.

IMHO, it's a very antiChristian twisted perspective promoted by those of the world, seeking to advance themselves without righteous or just accountability.

And remember what he declared the remembrance of 9/11 to be? A national day of SERVICE or some such.
