 Religious Leaders for 9/11 Truth
http://rl911truth.org/index.phpThe religions of the world share universal values of love, truth, and justice, and believe inhelping those who are oppressed or otherwise in need. Many religious persons try toengage in activities to make the world a better place, and they trust in a Higher Power toassist them.When faced with actions that conflict with the universal moral principle that we shouldnot do to others what we would not want done to ourselves or our loved ones, membersof faith communities have a responsibility to voice their opposition to those actions.Many religious leaders throughout history have publicly challenged morally unacceptable practices---recently, for example, in the civil rights and anti-apartheid movements.A significant moral challenge has emerged due to glaring discrepancies between theofficial version of the events of September 11, 2001, and the results of extensiveindependent research by individuals with relevant scientific or professional expertise.“Independent” here means independent from the U.S. administration that was in power atthe time of the 9/11 attacks. The official reports about 9/11 were not independent in thissense. The 9/11 Commission was run by its executive director, Philip Zelikow, who wasclosely associated with the Bush administration. The official reports on the World TradeCenter were produced by the National Institute of Standards and Technology, which, asan agency of the U.S. Commerce Department, was run by people employed by the Bushadministration.The independent research, which has led to conclusions that differ radically from theofficial account, has been carried out by scientists and professionals in many relevantfields. It has led to the creation of several professional organizations, including Veteransfor 9/11 Truth, S.P.I.N.E.: The Scientific Panel for the Investigation of Nine-Eleven,Pilots for 9/11 Truth, Scholars for 9/11 Truth and Justice, Architects and Engineers for 9/11 Truth, Firefighters for 9/11 Truth, Lawyers for 9/11 Truth, Healthcare Professionalsfor 9/11 Truth, and Political Leaders for 9/11 Truth.As a result of this extensive research carried out by scientists and professionals, it cannow be seen that the official account of 9/11 is false beyond any reasonable doubt.This conclusion presents a significant moral challenge because this false account has been used as the pretext for the so-called War on Terror, which has had enormousnegative consequences, including:the killing and maiming of millions of innocent people;
 
the portrayal of Islam as an inherently violent religion, of Muslims as especially likely to be terrorists, and of Muslim nations as devoid of any right not to be attacked;the employment of torture, extraordinary rendition, and other practices---includingcurtailment of the civil liberties of American citizens---that violate the US Constitution,international law, and the moral conscience of the world;the expenditure of hundreds of billions of dollars for militaristic, imperialistic purposes;andthe acceleration of the ecological destruction of our planet, including widespreadradioactive poisoning caused by depleted uranium munitions.Because the false account of 9/11, besides being an enormous lie told to the American public and the world as a whole, has led to all these evils, it is incumbent on religiousleaders, once they realize that the official account is a lie, to speak out, because to fail tospeak out is to acquiesce to the cover-up.Religious leaders from every tradition are encouraged to sign the petition and thereby become members of Religious Leaders for 9/11 Truth. "Religious Leaders" are heredefined as people who exercise (or have exercised) a leadership role, whether in a lay or  professional capacity, in or on behalf of some religious community or organization, or who teach (or have taught) religion from a faith perspective.Becoming a member of Religious Leaders for 9/11 Truth will not necessitate any further action other than signing the petition---although further action to spread 9/11 truth iscertainly encouraged.If you are ready to join Religious Leaders for 9/11 Truth and would like to sign the petition, go to the Sign the Petition page and state your name, religious affiliation, andleadership role, along with (optional) anything you would like to say about your reasonfor signing.--------------------------------------------------------------------------------PETITIONWHEREAS religious leaders seek to promote various universal values, including love, justice, and truth; andWHEREAS religious leaders throughout history have spoken out on moral issues; andWHEREAS the official account of 9/11 has been shown by scientists and professionals inrelevant fields to be false beyond a reasonable doubt; andWHEREAS the official account of 9/11 has been used as a pretext for wars that havekilled and maimed millions of innocent people and caused enormous ecological damageto our planet; and
