I never knew that this battle against the Muslims took place on September 11th until tonight. We are having a mission and the mission priest was talking about the Rosary and brought it up.
Wow!
Did any of you know of the significance of September 11th?
Catholic Ping!
It coincided with a waxing moon. I honestly believe September 11, 2001 was meant to mock our emergency system.
I knew they chose that date because of some historical perceived injury, but this is very interesting.
After our 9/11, passing reference was made in the "popular" many times about the fact 9/11 had some significance to Muslims. Never did I see it explained. That just shows how immune most journalists are to the history Christianity. Thanks for posting "the rest of the story.".
I read that before (not in this detail) somewhere on Islam Watch (cannot find the exact article)...but more background information...here...
“On September 11, 1581, Queen Elizabeth granted exclusive trading privileges to 16 individuals, including Staper and Osborne. This agreement led to the founding of the Levant Company.”

Janos (John) Hunyadi, Hungarian warrior and captain-general, is today virtually unknown outside Hungary and the Balkans, but he probably did more than any other individual in stemming the Turkish invasion in the fifteenth century. His actions spanned all the countries of south-eastern Europe, leading international armies, negotiating with kings and popes. He died of plague after having destroyed an Ottoman fleet outside Belgrade in1456. His work slowed the Muslim advance, and may thus have saved Western Europe from falling to Islam. By extension, he may have helped save Western civilization in North America and Australia, too. Yet hardly anybody in West knows who he is. Our children dont learn his name, they are only taught about the evils of Western colonialism and the dangers of Islamophobia.

Thanks for the ping/post, Salvation. Fascinating, educational, enlightening.
Yes, I knew! The muzzies never forget, and they always go back to finish something they did not do right — Twin Towers, for instance.
