Today or tomorrow is Sept 11 (depending on where you are) - a day of sombre remembrance across the entire world. It remains the most heinous act of terrorism in human history, as everyone knows.

I am sure everyone will pause to reflect on this day in their own way - I know I will. Like everyone, I remember the day only too well - I was having lunch in a pub in Edinburgh, Scotland and I watched the second tower get hit live on TV.

So it's six years later and I'm asking myself  - what was the fallout from September 11? There were a lot of victims. Obviously the people who suffered the most were the families of those who perished, and the many thousands whow were injured. New York City suffered terribly as well. The American people have had their freedoms and civil liberties drastically curtailed.

But I'd like to point out some other victims - the members of the Muslim faith. Since that dreadful day, Muslims have had to carry the collective guilt for this act, and have lived in the shadow of the calamity. Even today they are mistrusted throughout much of the western world.

Which brings me to my central point of the blog - Muslims did NOT perpetrate 9/11.

9/11 was perpetrated by "evil fuckwits".

What is a fuckwit? Well Americans might use the term "fucktard" but it means the same thing. Fuckwits are people who simply have absolutely no clue as to what is important in life. They seek satisfaction through causing disruption to others. This disruption can be annoying, or it can be fatal.

Now what is important to understand is that being a fuckwit takes precedence over affiliation with any other social or ethnic group. David Koresh did not represent the "Christian" community - he represented the "fuckwit" community. Michael Vick does not represent African-Americans, he represents "fuckwits".

There are at least two kinds of "fuckwit" in the world - "annoying fuckwits" and "evil fuckwits".

"Annoying fuckwits" are the most common. These are people who derive enjoyment out of irritating people. Annoying fuckwits positively abound on MySpace as well, sadly. Damn Girl is dealing with one right now in her blogs. Coqueto went through a different but equally annoying hassle a few weeks back. I've not been spared - a fuckwit recently emailed a bunch of people I met in the USA to tell them I was lying about being single and that I actually had a wife (!).

Annoying fuckwits send out spam. They leave shopping carts in the middle of parking lots, and lie about themselves on dating sites. Fuckwits cheat on their wives/girlfriends and try to interfere with the happiness of others. Fuckwits spread conspiracy theories about events like the moon landing and 9/11. They are the bane of society. But they are basically just trouble-makers and not truly evil.

"Evil fuckwits" are those that seek to really harm others. When they are white and middle-class (like Timothy McVeigh) we regard them as simply a evil person.

But when they come from a minority group, it is all too easy to forget that they are (first and foremost) fuckwits and push the blame on their minority. In Australia we had a bad case where a small group of Lebanese men gang-raped several girls. A lot of anger was targeted at the Lebanese community as a result. Many people across the world felt anger at the Muslim community for 9/11.

I can tell you something from direct experience - Muslims are fine people. I've worked in several predominantly Muslim countries like Pakistan, Malaysia and Indonesia and had a fantastic time. Muslims are no different to any other kind of people - they mainly want to get through life happily and raise their families. Blaming Muslims for 9/11 is like blaming Christians for the Holocaust.

Now sure, some fuckwits straddle the definition and it's hard to tell if they are merely annoying or truly evil. And to make things worse, fuckwits can form associations of their own. When they get guns and march around in right-wing militias, or join the Neo-Nazis or the KKK, then they are a "fuckwit collective". And groups like these ones I have mentioned don't represent "White America" any more than the Crips represent "black America" or cuban drug gangs represent Hispanics.

So if you need any more proof that 9/11 was perpetrated by genuine fuckwits, then just consider the fact that the people they supposedly represented (the Muslim world) have suffered as a result more than just about any other community (except for those who suffered directly and personally, obviously).

So I urge you - learn to identify the hallmark signs of a fuckwit. Once you recognise one, practice the fine art of "fucking them off out of your life". If you are dating a fuckwit - don't try and fix them. They're broken. Just get rid of them. Better to spend your time ironing out the wrinkles that they may have caused in your life or in the lives of those who matter to you (which is - sadly - what I am having to do right now after my own brush with fuckwit-ism).

And if YOU are a fuckwit, then always remember that being a fuckwit is now your defining trait. Once you have entered that world, you can no longer represent your people, your culture, your gender or your race anymore. You are now, fundamentally, a fuckwit.

I heartily embrace the laws which give rights to women, to the disabled, to ethnic and religious minorities, and to the genuinely disadavantaged in our western societies.

But I don't think we should be prevented from discriminating against fuckwits. So if they ever free up the laws to permit open season on these idiots, then let the party begin.

So tell me - what sort of fuckwit annoys you?
I'm also curious to hear what other people were doing on Sept 11.
And if you can't think of anything to say, just send a shout out to the boys/gals in the Fire, Police and Ambulance departments, and also the Military. This is a day where we should remember and pay homage to them as well.
