pretending HE’S a victim of 9/11 – Latest News
How self-damning that Zohran Mamdani’s chief takeaway from 9/11 is that it supposedly triggered a horrible wave of “Islamophobia”: What utter dreck.
Of course extraordinary Muslims bear no blame for the extremists who carried out these terror assaults, killing some 3,000 innocents: The overwhelming majority of Americans have at all times understood that, and acted accordingly.
No wave of anti-Muslim hate crimes adopted 9/11, not in New York nor wherever else.
Before and after 9/11, the minority most singled out for hate in America and the world over has at all times been Jews, in huge disproportion to their numbers.
Notice the experiences Mamdani really cited.
He recalled how a instructor warned him he would possibly face bullying. Since he attended the ultraliberal, dear Bank Street School for Children, his progressive educators anticipated the worst of their fellow New Yorkers.
He did not recall really being bullied, one thing he certainly would have introduced up. Instead, he might solely cite his aunt’s supposed resolution to give up driving the subways “ because she did not feel safe in her hijab.”
She could really have had such fears — however solely as a result of activist outfits like the novel Council on Islamic-American Relations immediately started warning of rising “Islamophobia” within the wake of the assaults.
As Veep JD Vance notes, that doesn’t make it any much less absurd for Mamdani to deal with his aunt as a central victim of 9/11 — not in a metropolis the place 1000’s of households of all races and religions misplaced family members.
There was by no means any pronounced quantity of anti-Muslim harassment after 9/11, actually nothing to justify marked concern about “Islamophobia” besides among the many CAIR crew, in addition to liberals and lefties who pander to it by treating it as a plague on a degree with antisemitism.
Yes, Mamdani’s opponents have slammed him as an apologist for terror — as a result of he is one: Refusing to denounce the poisonous phrase “globalize the intifada”; palling round with an unindicted co-conspirator from the 1993 World Trade Center bombing; selling numerous smears of Israel and its defensive conflict in Gaza in response to Hamas’ Oct. 7, 2023, terror assaults and so forth.

He’s not taking flack for his religion: He’s getting hit for no less than passive-aggressively supporting the terrorist factions within Islam.
