“The legacy of 9/11 ought to be recounted primarily through the stories of Muslims”
If you were wondering whether the terrorists won, they won. And now they’re collecting their conquests.
Zohran Mamdani, elected in the primary by Muslim bloc voters, has announced that Ramzi Kassem, a 9/11 terror lawyer, will serve as the city’s occupying Chief Counsel.
I’ve written about Ramzi Kassem before.
“This is not a battle of good versus evil,” Ramzi Kassem wrote in an op-ed that appeared on September 17, 2001. “The perpetrators were probably not driven to their actions by some intrinsic evil or inherent hatred of the good United States.”
He went on to argue that the Al Qaeda attack a week earlier was the result of the “resentment these terrorists felt towards the United States” as a result of “our country’s policies.”
And that, “the legacy of 9/11 ought to be recounted primarily through the stories of Muslims the world over who have largely paid the price of American power and prosperity.”
A Syrian national who grew up in Lebanon, Iraq and other Islamic terror states, arriving in this country to attend college and spread terrorist propaganda before becoming a terror lawyer, whose Gitmo inmate clients included Ahmed al-Darbi, an Al Qaeda terrorist and the brother-in-law of one of the hijackers who flew a plane into the Pentagon, and who was himself a key figure in the bombing of an oil tanker.
And Mohammad Mani Ahmad al-Qahtani, the suspected ’20th hijacker’ for the 9/11 attacks who was deported when he couldn’t clear immigration.
Ramzi Kassem repeatedly justified terrorism as a reaction to its victims. “Terrorism is but one of many reactions to oppression and dispossession and not their cause.”
While at Columbia University, Kassem co-founded Turath, an association of Muslim students, and then Qanun at Columbia Law. A fellow student described these hateful groups as having brought “under the guidance of Mr. Kassem… speakers to this campus that support violence against American and Israeli civilians… defended the genocidal program of Hamas.”
The Columbia letter noted that, “one speaker, disavowed by many of America’s pro-Palestinian activists, prior to being invited to Columbia, had said that Jews exist only to ‘dip their matzahs in the blood of Palestinian children.’”
A generation after 9/11, the lawyer for the 20th hijacker will be the city’s chief lawyer. This is what an occupation looks like. And the occupation of New York City must end.

Nice decision New Yorkers! I guess you can’t fix partisan stupidity

This is the population of NYC:
The city’s population in 2020 was
30.9% White (non-Hispanic),
28.3% Hispanic or Latino,
20.2% Black or African American (non-Hispanic),
15.6% Asian, and
0.2% Native American (non-Hispanic).
A total of 3.4% of the non-Hispanic population identified with more than one race and
1.4% as some other race.[48]
these are the majority who vote for Mamdani
maybe not having the cultural basis of the immigrants who built and created NYC

Muslims regularly kill other Musims whom they believe are not islamic enough in their opionion.
That is really all that needs to be said about the religion of peace. Of course it must be said that the Christians did the sane things but that was in the distant past. Muslims because of the quran are locked in the 8th century.
gravenimage says
And Christianity itself never taught such violence. Islam does.
somehistory says
I read the headline about this thug a day or two ago. Couldn’t bear to read all about how he hates the victims of muzzie terror.
Scum…in a position to go easy-peasy on every greasy (using a Robert Spencer word) islamo terrorist who must enter a courtroom in NYC.
There is a song, by Gene Watson. It is a nice song and begins, “The sun goes down in Calvin County.”
The sun is going down in NYC. And that’s no so nice.
࿗Infidel࿘ says
Great appointment. He is completely tone deaf to what normal Americans think of him, and his attitudes
James Lincoln says
Infidel,
He doesn’t care what normal Americans think of him.
Doesn’t care.
gravenimage says
And Mamdani does not think he *has to care*. And grimly, he may be right…
Daniel Dagovitz says
Is anyone seeing my posts?
࿗Infidel࿘ says
Yeah. It appears some hours after being posted – all of ours. Although sometimes, when I post, it appears immediately, but that is rare
WPM says
The trouble is the majority of people in NYC who voted this guy in are not normal Americans .The free stuff crowd ,the entitled woke hipster crowd ,the self hating American that thinks America the cause of all evil in the world crowd. The crowd that hates Christianity ,Judaism ,and thinks all cultures + religions are equal .People who voted for Mamdani are either truly obtuse ,or truly live in a dream world ,or evil .
Ralph says
Yes, WPM, you have stated correctly why New Yorkers vote as they do. I can assure you that we in rural America have no such sentiments as do New Yorkers.
tgusa says
Mamdani is offering free stuff all around using other peoples money because that is the democrat way. State and Federal income taxes (forced confiscation) is a criminal enterprise and democrats love it that way.
Cynthia says
All sane people need to “Escape From New York” now.
The apocalypse is about to start. I never imagined we’d be as stupid as Europe.
biii says
Cynthia I agree up to a point about Europe but remember Minnesota, never forget Minnesota
gravenimage says
Yes–this is not just NYC.
Kris says
This is very upsetting. Thanks for the information about this lawyer because I haven’t heard it anywhere else
Horatio says
Congressman Andy Briggs Arizona said Mamdani needed a security clearance to be inaugurated. He asked the DHS not to give it…What happened? Was he given the clearance?
GianCarlo MATTA says
in a serious and modern State , one should swear on the Constitution and the underlying legal system .
the “oath-on-a-holy-book” is simply ridiculous (as well as legally void) .
somehistory says
Thankfully, you are not the one to decide those things in the USA, as well as to say what is “legally void.”
GianCarlo MATTA says
for the benefit of other readers , I want to repeat : the public oath on a “holy-book” is ridiculous and legally void .
sorry : in my opinion , in this respect , the U.S.A. is not a modern and serious State .
somehistory says
So then, nothing going on here should matter to you….but the goon did get the office in NYC ….which is what the discussion is about…not about what is your *opinion* regarding things you consider “ridiculous and legally void.” You don’t get to decide those things for everyone, nor do you make the Laws for Americans.
GianCarlo MATTA says
( “then, nothing going on here should matter to you…” )
may be . however , public “oath” taken on a “sacred book” = is a ridiculous “oath” . suck it up .
Post Scriptum : if you still want write to me , please subscrive your name and surname in your comments .
gravenimage says
*No one* should be coerced to post personal information here. Not by you, of course. but over the years I have been threatened with rape, assault, kidnapping, and murder by Jihadists.
GianCarlo MATTA says
anyone who doesn’t have the courage to write their name and surname , had better go and hide .
so long
OLD GUY says
One of two things are going to happen. Either Mamdani will prove to be a good mayor or make a fool of all who voted for him. Then again he might make them subjects of Islamic rule in his N.Y. regime.
WPM says
If he gives what the people who voted for him what they ask for ,free buses ,free daycare for all ,alot of low income housing built ,he will have to tax the hell out of all middle to upper income taxpayers. Businesses and people(who pay taxes and can leave) will leave town in droves ruining the city. If he does not deliver all these impossible promises his voting base will give him a re-run of the summer of 2020 of love aka George Floyd B.L.M.(burning looting mayhem) in the summer of 2025 .Either way NYC loses , “the people “his base got a taste of reality when the grand elected sultan provided no food for the advertise “block party ” swearing in celebration and porter potties only for the fence in ticket holders invites ,the greater unwashed fools had to hold it for hours in the cold. Much like he charge people who volunteer to help him top dollar for drinks at his celebration on election night win.
Robert Vincent Goeddel says
It doesn’t surprise me and should not surprise all the people in the United States that have ignored the radical behavior of the Muslims.
It is time for people to stand up for this country and the terrible things that have been done to us.

I know the appalling Mamdani well enough at this point that this dies not surprise.

That would be like saying that the Holocaust ought to be primarily recounted by its Nazi architects…
