Here is a great article written by Messianic Jewish beliver Dr. Jeff Seif on the true meaning as to why the date 9-11 was chose by muslims to attack the US:
Why 911? By Dr. Jeffrey L. Seif
For Americans, the number 911 means emergency. If for no other reason, the Muslims were clever to choose this date for their attack.
However, from an lslamic perspective, September 11th is invested with another meaning: it punctuates a long-forgotten battle that influenced all of Western history and had a particularly direct and profound effect on Islamic history. That date marks the start of the "Battle of Vienna," when the Christian "West" dealt Islamic armies one of their most crushing and inglorious defeats.
Muslims had long eyed Vienna, given its strategic position in southern Europe to control trade routes from the Eastern Mediterranean to Germany. The Grand Vizier Kara Mustafa Pasha convinced Sultan Mehmet IV that the time was right to mobilize Ottoman armies and advance on the heart of Christian Europe. They officially declared war on August 6, 1682. The subsequent Islamic march on Europe began on April 1 - no fooling. Soon Vienna was besieged. At a time deemed appropriate, the Europeans counterattacked and the decisive battle for Christian Europe began. It happened on September 11, 1683 - or as we'd say "9/11."
Islam was sure of a victory. But thankfully, the victory went to the West. Utterly disgraced by the defeat, Sultan Mehmet ordered the death of his losing comander, Pasha. Some say Pasha was ordered to commit suicide; others say the Sultan's troops executed him. No matter - the deed was dishacharged on December 25, 1683.
After the battle, many bags of coffee were discovered at the abandoned Turkish encampment. (Turks love their "Turkish" coffee.) With this captured stock, a coffeehouse was allegedly opened in Europe - the first in Vienna. An innovative Capuchin friar, who was the confidant of Leopold I, the Holy Roman Emporer, added milk and honey to sweeten the harsh brew. By so doing, he is said to have invented what became known as "cappuccino" coffee.
Why 9-11-2001? Muslims wanted to reassert their power on that date. Whatever they may have gained by so doing must be inventoried against the destruction of their terror base in Afghanistan and the overthrow of the vicious dictator of Iraq. I think we won again - and I'll drink to that!
