Today, we take a moment to reflect on one of the most pivotal moments in modern history - the 9/11 terrorist attacks. On this day, 20 years ago, thousands of innocent lives were lost, and countless more were forever changed. As we remember the victims, their families, and the first responders who risked everything to save others, we honor their memory by continuing to strive for a world where such tragedies are never repeated. The aftermath of 9/11 showed us the worst of humanity, but it also brought out the best. We saw strangers become heroes, communities come together, and a nation unite in the face of adversity. Take a moment today to pause, reflect, and remember the lives lost on 9/11. May their memory live on and may we continue to strive for a brighter future for generations to come. #NeverForget #September11 #Remembering911

As our research has previously revealed, the man who attacked two mosques in Christchurch in 2019, killing 51 people, posted publicly online for five years before his terrorist atrocity. Here we provide further information about Brenton Tarrant’s posting. This article has two main goals. First, by placing his online posting against his other online and offline activities, we gain a far more complete picture of the path to his attack. Second, we want to show how his online community played a role in his radicalisation. This is important, as the same can happen to others immersed in that community. In combining his online and offline activity here we do not seek to attribute blame to those who might have been expected to detect this behaviour. It is exceptionally difficult to identify terrorists online. And yet, history is full of difficult problems that have been overcome. We use the benefit of hindsight to provide greater understanding of Tarrant’s pathway than has previously been available. The aim is to prevent similar attacks by better understanding how such people act and how they might be detected. 🔗 Read more: https://lnkd.in/g7CD7RTH #Christchurchmassacre #christchurch #brentontarrant #christchurchnz #newzealand #extremism

Britian’s terror threat is at the highest level since 9/11. “We are not that now in strength, which in old days/ Moved Earth and Heaven; that which we are, we are:/ One equal temper of heroic hearts,/ Made weak by time and fate, but strong in will/ To strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield.” In the words of Tennyson, it’s time to take action and ensure we are prepared for the worst. www.hawkesandco.uk Keeping people and companies safe all over the world. #terroristattack #activeshootertraining #mta #crisismanagement #keepingitsimple

Today, we remember the tragic events of September 11th, 2001, when the world was forever changed by the horrific attacks carried out by Al-Qaeda. This act of terrorism, driven by radical extremist ideology, took thousands of innocent lives. We honor the victims, the courage of first responders, and the resilience of those who came together in the face of such evil. In the aftermath, we saw that unity and compassion are stronger than hate and division. How can we carry forward the lessons of resilience and strength from 9/11 in today’s world? #NeverForget #September11 #911Memorial #HonorAndRemember #UnityAndResilience #StrengthInUnity #911Tribute #WeRemember #Resilience #CommunityStrength

Day 94 - part 2. Wonder why your feed is filled with people demanding the world push Hamas to release the hostages? THIS IS WHY. 136 hostages are still being held by Hamas (and affiliates). People are already starting to say that these photos are “propaganda.” And they’re right. The bloodied images are screenshots from a HAMAS (!) propaganda video. And no, the hostages are not being “treated well,” as some keyboard warriors have claimed. They are being brutalized every single day. For 94 days. This is only one example of many why calls for a one-sided ceasefire are hurtful and damaging, when Hamas remains in power and the hostages continue to be kept captive by a horrible terrorist group. Because what we hear you saying is: they don't matter and we don't matter. But they do. And we do. And we will keep advocating for them until they're home. Bring the hostages home NOW. Demand the release of the hostages. #bringthemhomenow

Today marks the anniversary of one of the most tragic events in American history - the terrorist attacks on September 11th, 2001. As we reflect on this day, it is important to remember the lives that were lost and the heroes who bravely responded in the face of danger. It is crucial that we never forget the events of 9/11 and the impact it had on our nation. The attacks not only shook us to our core, but also brought us together in a way that we had never experienced before. We stood united as a country, showing strength, resilience, and compassion in the face of unimaginable tragedy. As we honor the memory of those who perished on that fateful day, let us also remember the sacrifices made by first responders, volunteers, and ordinary citizens who risked their lives to save others. Their bravery and selflessness serve as a reminder of the best of humanity, even in the darkest of times. Let us never forget the lessons we learned from 9/11 - the importance of unity, resilience, and unwavering commitment to freedom and democracy. May we always strive to honor the memory of those we lost by coming together as a nation and standing strong against hatred and violence. Today, we remember the victims of 9/11 and pay tribute to the heroes who emerged from the darkness to bring light and hope to our nation. Let us never forget their sacrifices and continue to strive for a world where peace and understanding prevail. #NeverForget #September11th

"His attack plan involved using flame-covered weapons, explosives, knives, a machete, a pipe and ultimately firearms," the investigator added. "His plan grew more precise as he eventually identified the specific church and date on which he planned to attack." I can't help but ask myself, "what helped him identify the specific church"? Did it have something to do with the church being an easy target due to lack of security? Is your place of worship an easy target? Don't be any easy target for criminals or extremist! Faithful Defender Foundation was founded to help religious organizations address these very issues.

Stop Islamophobia, Stop Anti-Semitism, Stop Violence, Stop Terror! Mankind urgently needs to grow together in order to address the problems all humans face such as conflict, climate-change, inequality and forced displacement. Collectively in solidarity. Religions are here to assist us with this and unite us. All religions have the target to bring people together in oneness..... it are the human (mis)interpretations that make a mess out of this. We need non-violent interaction as equals. This will lead to mutual understanding and empathy, it will exchange fear and hatred for trust and solidarity, and let humanity grow together in relation to God. www.samadeus.org & www.pax.ngo
