1. Just A Question Here....

How was 9/11 a religous massacre?

2. Some folks would say it was Muslim against Christian

others might say it was Theonomic Reconstructionists against everyone else. And of course others might say it was neither. Surely everyone has the right to their own opinion. None the less there was another "religious" massacre second only to 9/11 2001 and that one was no doubt religious


Thanks for the question Falcon_Lights1916

4. The Mountain Meadows Massacre culminated on 9/11/1857

The Mountain Meadows massacre involved a mass slaughter of the Fancher-Baker emigrant wagon train at Mountain Meadows in the Utah Territory by the local Mormon militia in September 1857. It began as an attack, quickly turned into a siege, and eventually culminated on September 11, 1857, in the execution of the unarmed emigrants after their surrender.

The Arkansas emigrants were traveling to California shortly before the Utah War started. Mormons throughout the Utah Territory had been mustered to fight the United States Army, which they believed was intending to destroy them as a people. During this period of tension, rumors among the Mormons also linked the Fancher-Baker train with enemies who had participated in previous persecutions of Mormons or more recent malicious acts.

5. You got it and there again another cover up

In 1857, the Fancher Wagon Train camped in the Utah Territory and awoke to an attack by what they believed to be Paiute Indians. The pioneers defended their position for five days, until approached by Major John D. Lee and his local Mormon militia, who promised protection if they surrendered their arms. Suddenly, a ghastly slaughter occurred. 17 children were spared. They buried the dead at the Mountain Meadows site and an elaborate cover-up ensued. Some 20 years later, Lee was executed on the site for the crime--the only one punished. Then, in 1999, a backhoe operator unearthed a mass grave, and forensic anthropologist Shannon Novak made astonishing discoveries--until the governor (one of the murderers' descendants) ordered the bones reburied. But it was too late, the ghosts had spoken and a new story emerged, implicating religious authorities in the mass murder.
