William Sloane Coffin Can Rest in Peace

His Brave Statement for 9/11 Truth Caps Lifetime of Peace Activism

by Kevin Barrett, http://mujca.com

William Sloane Coffin spoke out for 9/11 truth before he died. His soul can rest in peace.

Will yours?

Many wisdom traditions tell us that at the time of death, we face a “moment of truth” during which our entire lifetime is viewed from a trans-temporal perspective. This “life reckoning” is a common feature of near death experiences (NDEs). As the cliché has it, “My whole life flashed before my eyes.”

Unfinished business, a sense of guilt about something we should have done but didn’t—these are the obstacles to the peace of the soul, in life as well as at the threshold of death.

William Sloane Coffin will surely rest in peace. During his remarkable lifetime, Coffin took on the greatest evils of his society—racism and imperialist war—and waged an all-out spiritual battle against them. He rode with the Freedom Riders protesting segregation, led a campaign of civil disobedience against the Vietnam War, headed the SANE-Freeze campaign against nuclear weapons, and—in what may one day be viewed as the capstone to his career—spoke out for 9/11 truth shortly before his death. Here is William Sloane Coffin’s final statement:

"Professor David Ray Griffin is a retired theologian with a well deserved reputation for the thoroughness of his research. Shocked by 9/11 and its subsequent related events, he not only pored over various American articles, but beyond that, investigated English, French, German and other European and Asian interpretations of the same event. The result consists of exceedingly provocative questions with implied answers quite at variance with Washington official accounts! All Americans who love their country enough to dig into the facts of these critical times will be well rewarded by examining Professor Griffin's books, The New Pearl Harbor: Disturbing Questions about the Bush Administration and 9/11 and The 9/11 Commission Report: Ommisions and Distortions.

9/11 TRUTH IS A VERY IMPORTANT ISSUE WITH THE POWER TO BRING LASTING CHANGE TO OUR COUNTRY."

Eminent Theologian David Griffin Sparks 9/11 Truth Groundswell David Griffin, one of America's most eloquent and influential theologians, has summed up the overwhelming evidence for US government 9/11 complicity in in his bestseller The New Pearl Harbor. (Read Marc Estrin's review.) (Listen to Pacifica radio interview.) Dr. Griffin's follow-up book, The 9/11 Commission Report: Omissions and Distortions, demolishes the last shreds of doubt that 9/11 was an inside job, and the official story a transparent cover-up.

Book-in-Progress: The Myth of 9/11 MUJCA-NET co-founder Kevin Barrett is writing a book entitled The Myth of 9/11: An American Muslim Speaks Out. Dr. Barrett, an Arabist specializing in the analysis of myth, literature and folklore, argues that the official story of 9/11 is a myth, both in the popular sense of an untrue story, and the scholarly sense of a founding narrative legitimizing a particular social order.
