Islamic newspaper calls 9/11 a 'hoax'
| Quote: | An Australian Islamic newspaper has launched a campaign arguing the September 11 terror attacks in the United States were a massive US-inspired hoax.
The newspaper of Ahlus Sunnah Wal-Jamaah Association, Mecca News, says a plane did not crash into the Pentagon in Washington DC in the 2001 attacks and the story was actually a major hoax, News Ltd newspapers said.
The article by the group, led by Melbourne fundamentalist cleric Sheikh Mohammed Omran, says there were no remains of a plane found inside the Pentagon and accuses Australia of only now catching up with the debate about what really happened.
"It is not seen as `patriotic' to challenge the widely accepted theory, however things are changing," Mecca News says.
It also praises Sheikh Omran, its editor in chief who was snubbed by Prime Minister John Howard by being left out of a recent summit with Muslim leaders, for "breaking the ice" and raising questions about who was responsible for September 11.
Sheikh Omran said he wanted to spark healthy debate through his newspaper.
"If all society agrees on something, that is very unhealthy," he said. |
