@2:14 "standing at an extraordinary 1500 feet..."

It was not 1500 ft: but, rather, 1350, if my memory is correct.

Wrong! Not all terrorists are Muslim and if you think that then you don't understand what a terrorist is.

Nice, an allusion to the systematic wipe out of Native American tribes. Is there anyone in the world you'd not kill?

@BlackDahliaMurder22 No... It would've never happened if ignorance didn't exist. Religion... No, I correct myself... ANYTHING can be bad if it is interpreted by ignorant people.

@bbyyolo me 2 makes me want to try harder to do something with my last and only life live on for them and me no reason that many people should die NONE!

[BlackDahliaMurder22]

This never would of happened if religion never existed. Shame on all of us.

The strength of the photo is in its symbolic portrait of the acceptance of faith. The horror of it lies in its aesthetics being perfect.

@tbone2872 it wasn't the religion of Islam do your research and don't say its a conspiracy theory because it is now FACT thousands of professionals of all areas have proved that what happened with the WTC buildings is physically impossible so don't drive the hate for millions of people just because the so called government tells you to because you are just taking part in problem-reaction-solution in the end of this staged event the government got more power over us. FREEDOM !
