September 11 has More Meaning to Our Enemies than 911.

We normally think that September 11th was chosen because 911 is our number for “emergency”, but the Muslim elite have much longer memories than do we. Terror attacks are systematically planned on anniversaries of other attacks, and dates of other battles.

This dates back to the Ottoman Empire and the Muslims trying to capture Europe. They failed a takeover of Europe and the world expansion of Islamic rule in a great battle of Vienna on September 11, 1683.

The Ottoman Empire was expanding rapidly. The Ottoman Turks saw Europe as a broken and vulnerable target as they were divided and warring Kingdoms among themselves. Vienna was the gateway to conquering Europe.

The Turks gathered over 300,000 Jihadists from all over the empire and made elaborate plans to conquer Vienna and take Europe for the Muslims.
The Ottoman declaration of war to Europe sounds eerily familiar to the threats and actions of the Jihadists of today.

Mehmed IV. wrote to Leopold I verbatim,
“Primarily we order You to await Us in Your residence city of Vienna so that We can decapitate You… (…) We will exterminate You and all Your followers… (…) Children and grown-ups will be exposed to the most atrocious tortures before put to an end in the most ignominious way imaginable…”

Much to the surprise of the Turks, the Europeans were able to form alliances and treaties with each other to come together to fight. The large-scale battle lasting over 2 months was won by Polish-Austrian-German forces led by King of Poland John III Sobieski against the Ottoman Empire army.
A final great battle took place and the Polish led coalition army defeated the Turks on September 11, 1863.

According to Islam Watch,
“Educated, fundamentalist Muslims feel the sting of the defeat hundreds of years later. In their view, they are the recipients of Allah’s final revelation and it is humiliating to them that their “perfect” Islamic culture has declined relative to Western culture. They seek to reverse the trend and September 11 was carefully chosen to try and reverse the course of history and create a new September 11 that the Islamic world could celebrate.”

A film “The Day of the Siege” was made of the battle. It is available in the Church4Israel.com bookstore, but warning it is rated R and has graphic violence in the battle scenes.
