War, peace, and human rights

Today, April 17, on the 14th anniversary of The Wisdom Fund, we would like to draw your attention to an issue that has huge implications for war, peace, and human rights -- specially for Muslims, and mainly Muslim countries, and which has taken trillions out of the American economy.

That issue is September 11, 2001. The official explanation is just plain wrong, and we can prove it. Hence U.S. wars, and violations of human rights, that resulted from the official explanation of that tragic day, cannot be justified on the basis of 9/11.

We challenge any member of the 9/11 Commission, or any official of the Bush or Obama administrations, to rebut the evidence and arguments we present.

"9/11 Unveiled" by Enver Masud, founder of The Wisdom Fund, together with a 45-minute documentary bearing the same title, will convince most audiences that, at the very least, there is "reasonable doubt" about the official explanation.

Indeed a highly placed judge told us that we have sufficient evidence for a prima facie case.

We intend to make the documentary available free with the book "9/11 Unveiled."

We spoke out during the tense period following 9/11, and we continue to speak out now. We've scheduled a conference on July 11, 2009 regarding what happened at the Pentagon on 9/11. Details will follow.

We find it sad that we're not supported by Muslim "leaders" and the larger Muslim organizations. Perhaps they can learn from AIPAC and the Heritage Foundation.

Would AIPAC and the Heritage Foundation support our efforts if it were their allies who were wrongly blamed for 9/11, and we had the evidence to prove otherwise?

So why do Muslim organizations hesitate?

"With reason as your shield and the sword of love in your hand, Servant of God! the leadership of the world is at your command" wrote the Muslim poet, philosopher and politician Allama Sir Muhammad Iqbal.

But this is an issue that reaches far beyond the Muslim community. The U.S. response to 9/11 has cost the U.S. about $4 trillion -- according to Nobel Laureate Joseph Stiglitz and Harvard economist Lind Bilmes.

What's holding us back from distributing "9/11 Unveiled" -- the documentary, is copyrights clearances. We've obtained some, but we need legal advice on "fair use," and guidance on obtaining the remaining clearances.

Do support our efforts to get out the truth about 9/11. We need your support now. The initial legal review alone can cost $6000. The Wisdom Fund usually operates in the red, and is in the red now. And we pay no salaries, except the $1 per year to the founder.

So please give what you can, and give today.
