On September 13 , 2001 , '' WND '' published an opinion article by Anthony C. LoBaido regarding the September 11 attacks on New York City and Washington , D.C. , that had occurred two days earlier . In his column , LoBaido described what he said was the moral depravity of America in general and New York in particular , asking whether " God ( has ) raised up Shiite Islam as a sword against America " . Commentators Virginia Postrel of '' Reason '' magazine and James Taranto of the '' Wall Street Journal '' criticized LoBaido and Joseph Farah for the piece and called for columnists Hugh Hewitt and Bill O'Reilly to sever their ties with '' WND . '' Founder Farah responded with his own column , saying that LoBaido 's opinion piece did not reflect the viewpoint of '' WND '' , and that it , like most other commentary pieces , had not been reviewed before publication
