(Daily Signal) The largest terror attack in history and the deadliest attack on the United States since Pearl Harbor occurred 25 years ago on Sept. 11, 2001. In 2026, with a whole new generation who were either too young to remember the attacks or were born after they occurred, it is worth pausing to reflect as a society on the events of that day, lest we lose the sense of just how horrible it truly was and the lasting, generational effect they had on America.
This need is especially relevant as radical elements of the far left in the United States downplay the attacks or shift the blame, with left-wing influencer Hasan Piker going so far as to say, “America deserved 9/11.”
Nineteen hijackers from the al-Qaeda terror group, including 15 from Saudi Arabia, two from the United Arab Emirates, one from Egypt, and one from Lebanon, and all motivated by radical Islamism and hatred of America and Western Civilization, seized control of four passenger airplanes and turned them into missiles.
