The Twin Towers weren’t lit up in green. Now, why is that?
࿗Infidel࿘ says
Probably her way of welcoming Mamdani to the job
Thank God for small mercies
gravenimage says
They just didn’t do this because they have already destroyed the Twin Towers in the 9/11 attacks.
Wellington says
Consider for a moment what Hochul really knows about Islam.
Yeah, kinda’ scary, no?
gravenimage says
Yes, Wellington–although this kind of thing is even scarier when it is someone like Mamdani who *does* know a lot about Islam…
somehistory says
He does know, but he’s not the one doing it.
gravenimage says
I’m sure he approves of this idiocy, though.

isl-m advanced due to force or bribing the leaders of their host nations selling out their citizens. Historical examples m-slem ottoman conquerors and Genghis Kahn Mongols. IN THIS CURRENT GREEN LIGHTS SCENARIO , IT IS NOT THAT SHE WAS IGNORANT, GREATER CHANCE SHE TOOK THE BRIBE IN ANY SHAPE OR FORM.
somehistory says
“Celebrating” something that is a fiction. Little kids are taught to believe in the Easter bunny, the tooth fairy, and other things to bring smiles to little faces.
muzzies lie in order to manipulate, intimidate, frighten and terrorize. And the flea-brained governor is going along with that by making everything green every Friday for a month. It’s likely to be the only green a lot of New Yorkers see for the next four years….or for however long the scuzzy-muzzie is mayor.
ChristianConservative1054 says
SHE TOOK A BRIBE. HISTORY SHOWS isl-m advanced via force or bribing the leaders of host nations that sold out its citizens. THESE ARE THE COWARD, EVIL LEADERS THAT THE LORD GOD JESUS CHRIST WILL PUNISH INTO ETERNAL HEL AFTER JUDGMENT DAY.
somehistory says
Writing in all upper case…caps…is Internet shouting. No need to shout. I make it a practice to skip comments in all caps.
Patriot64 says
Hochul is terrified of the direction of the wind change in NYC. Your next lady.
Greg says
I’m gunna be sick!
࿗Infidel࿘ says
Yeah, all that green lighting looks like the green kryptonite which neutralized Superman
gravenimage says
Sounds about right, Infidel…
Shosh says
There will be no blessing from GOD in New York as long as this man is in office. Genesis 12:3
ChristianConservative1054 says
I agree thank you for the comment but I do not believe that New Yorkers read the Bible at least those who voted for the MAM, IF HE GOT that many votes?
pug says
Can’t the Delta team intervene?
Chevelle says
This means the check books are about to open up to Muslims, first in line for all benefits. All the grants will go to them behind the scenes. I know the play. I’ve seen it.
OLD GUY says
So vary true. Wait weren’t the muslims offended by Christmas lights and made communities around the world not display them. So why do I have to be offended by this display. Somebody send Hochul the message, you can’t have lights celebrating Islam, if I can’t have lights celebrating the Birth of our SAVIOR.
Huh?!? says
+1
Rick Gordon says
I don’t hate Muslims who are native or immigrated to contribute to our nation – to adopt our values and assimilate into our society. However, I find these unnecessary hyphenated tributes to any group – especially one with a large number of people who hate our country and seek its destruction. The NY Governor groveling to all Muslims is embarrassing and will turn out to be ill advised.

rubiconcrest says
You are both right. If anything, the buildings should be illuminated in RED streaks.
Islam is not at peace with the West. Until there is an Islamic Reformation, that is the honest symbol of the of evil that Islam represents. It serves to build solidarity in the face of a common enemy.
gravenimage says
Hochul lights up New York landmarks in green to celebrate ‘contributions of Muslim communities’
…………………………………………………
What? The 1993 WTC bombing, 9/11, the 2016 Chelsea Bombing, the 2017 West Side Highway Attack: An ISIS-inspired vehicle-ramming attack occurred on October 31, 2017, where a man drove a rented truck down a bike path, killing eight people and injuring many others, the 2022 Times Square Machete Attack: On New Year’s Eve, Trevor Bickford attacked three NYPD officers with a machete-style knife in the name of radical Islamic jihad, seriously injuring one officer.
And that is not even counting the many *foiled* Jihad terror attacks…
Beans says
It’s worse than that man. We are going them nato like security guarantees , going them all the top chips and giving them fabs for chips, all the best AI….
They will eventually push us out when they get rich enough, coalesce into a Middle East nato, an Islamic nato.
Our goal should not be to build future adversaries. I just don’t get it. What is Trump doing? We should be feeding them scraps, not steaks. They’re not democratic and their religion sucks. Islamists could easily take over 2,3 of those countries and stab us in the back…..
Trump is blind to this, he really really is.
gravenimage says
We should not be giving Muslims any technology. It will only be used against us.
Beans says
Islamic Iran should keep existing to keep the Islamic world divided into two camps , and have the gulf scared which makes us needed.
Wipeout the nuclear and ballistic missiles. And let them stay.
Otherwise, Iran will build up into a rich country, and it will all integrate with the gulf. A Islamic nato which Islamists could one day rise up and take it all over, with massive tech and military. Israel would be a plankton…
To assume these Arab clowns like uae could hold those lands forever is crazy.
Beans says
I see grave danger in Syria and Turkey as well. Not good. Iran could balance them out somewhat at least…
Turkey ain’t no nato ally. They’re a spiteful garbage dump waiting with the dagger.
Taking out Assad, you just made them all stronger by handing Syria to this group. We took out a hostile state to all it’s neighbors, to a friendly state that they’ll integrate into their future Islamic nato…
That’s why my crazy idea, an Islamic Iran and allied Assad Syria should have stayed. Syria under Assad had zero chance vs Israel. No threat but for being a smuggling route for weapon.
gravenimage says
Sunnis and Shia hate and kill each other, but they generally both hate all Infidels.
࿗Infidel࿘ says
Yeah. I know that history education in this country is abysmal, but all the events you listed above happened during the lifetime of most of us. If one were to ask anybody what are muslims famous for in New York, that would be the list, not anything positive that any muslims did. Given all that, it’s pretty disgraceful that January is declared muslim heritage month in New York, particularly given that in the muslim calendars, the month keeps shifting every year
gravenimage says
True, Infidel. Much of this horror has happened well within living memory.

Daniel Triplett says
Appears that Americans are beginning to wake up to the truth about Islam. Click on Hochul’s X post above and start reading through the 14,300 Replies. The People are really lighting her up. I’m not seeing any defenders of Islam on there.
By the way, I encourage everyone to spread the word about jihadwatch.org, and the many outstanding and important works that Robert, Hugh, and the many other fine contributors to this site are producing toward the Counter-Islamic campaign.
If you click on the golden “+” symbol above, immediately below the title header, it will open up a complete list of all the social media links, making it quick and convenient to post links to these articles for people outside of this choir to see.
We need to bring new people here who’ve never heard of jihadwatch.
And if you have time and really want the A+, be sure to type in these recipient mentions. The more of us who do will increase the odds of VIPs laying eyes on it and generating interest:

@PeteHegseth

Good to hear, Daniel.
rick says
Especially the wonderful Somali community which has spit in America’s face.
࿗Infidel࿘ says
Somehow not as big in New York as in other states like Minnesota, Maine, Ohio….
somehistory says
“Democratic Mayor Jacob Frey of Minneapolis gave a speech in both Somali and English decrying President Donald Trump’s immigration policies in a video that resurfaced Tuesday on social media.
The video, originally posted June 6 on the City of Minneapolis YouTube page, featured Frey’s response to Trump ordering a ban on admissions from 12 countries days after Mohamed Sabry Soliman allegedly attacked a Boulder, Colorado, event supporting hostages taken during the Oct. 7, 2023, attack on Israel by the terrorist group Hamas. In the video, Frey first spoke in Somali before giving the speech in English.”
Islam is bad says
How come the Muslim American Heritage Month isn’t in September?
That’s their heritage.
࿗Infidel࿘ says
Yeah, at least it wouldn’t be a shifting month, like Ramadan
jerry glenn says
NYC surges to a huge lead in the national Islamopandering derby.
Boog says
Hahaha. So true.
T.jefferson says
Can this woman hear the nonsense that comes out of her mouth??????
Governor Hochul said, “The resilience, compassion, and contributions of Muslim communities help make our state stronger.”
“recognize the significant contributions Muslim Americans have contributed to society throughout history including in the arts, sciences, mathematics, technology, literature, music, medicine, and philosophy.”
Islam has done NONE of these contributions to western culture!
There is a scripture that may explain the insanity and inability to think logically:
“Furthermore, just as they did not think it worthwhile to retain the knowledge of God, so God gave them over to a depraved mind, so that they do what ought not to be done.”
Romans 1:28
And of course there are many similar in the Old Testament.
I don’t know any other way to explain this insanity, other than the possibility that this demon knows exactly what’s she’s saying and has an agenda……
somehistory says
Yes, they are ‘misleading and being misled.’
ChristianConservative1054 says
T.jefferson you speak the truth. I agree. These leaders are re-writing history. I heard this LIE from Episcopal church pulpit, “isl-m is peaceful & Christians Crusaders murdered many poor moslems during the crusades in Jerusalem (that’s because isl-
mists invaded Jerusalem and wanted to destroy Christian heritage and churches so the Crusaderrs from England were sent to defend Jerusalem – the old goat fossilized retired pastor lied to the congregation and I never went back – blatant lie. isl-m has the receipts of evil and conquering ottomans, ghengis khan / Mong-ls and all egregious harm they caused Christians and they forced took Israel Jerusalem and built isl-mic mosque. isl-m lies when they state israel Jerusalem belong to them. isl-m was started by moham around 600 AD. The mosl-m legacy since 622 AD is war, tort-re: kidn-p of men women children and the r-pe thereof, and enslavement and taxing only infidels. isl-m has murdered close to 1 billion people who refused to convert to isl-m–these are Google stats. They do not believe in images photos or art – they never produced art, nor fashion. THESE US LEADERS ARE HYPOCRITES, taking the bribes from the evil enemy and selling out the American citizens.
Boog says
The Americans that died on 9-11 at the hands of Arab Moslem Terrorists (but I repeat myself) are rolling over in their graves. The NY Guv is a stupid person as well as a fool.
Suicidal empathy is not a solution to the Moslem problems. Islam must be recognized as a political system and a death cult that wants to make everyone in the World submit to its slavery. Moslem say we will go to Hell if we don’t submit to them. They are already there.
John Pepple says
I began drifting to the left way back in 1968, which was my senior year in high school. If I had known back then that one day leftists would be practically worshiping Muslims, I would have headed straight to the John Birch Society. It is all just so irrational and not at all what I wanted.
Huh?!? says
The governor is doing this for votes. She is bending the knee to stealth jihadists, the Left and antisemites. She will be adding to the world of hurt to NYC.
Ralph says
Hochul is a typical Democrat. Party over country is their creed. We should not be surprised.
ChristianConservative1054 says
GREEN = VOMIT appropriate color for their ideology or RED is appropriate FOR THE SATANIST DEVIL ideology.
