On September 11, the 25th anniversary ceremony of the 9/11 attacks will be held in New York. Already thousands of survivors, and many more thousands of the relatives of those killed in those attacks, have demanded that New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani stay away from the ceremony. Now the Port Authority police have added their voices; they don’t want Mamdani at the ceremony. The Port Authority police lost 37 of its officers in that attack, which remains the largest loss of life suffered by a single police force in a single event in American history.
More on the demand of the Retired Port Authority Police Association that Mamdani stay away can be found here: “Retired Port Authority cops tell Mamdani, Hochul to stay home from NYC 9/11 ceremony: ‘Would cause profound pain,’” by Katherine Donlevy, New York Post, August 29, 2026:
Retired Port Authority cops have joined the ranks of Sept. 11 survivors demanding Mayor Zohran Mamdani and Gov. Kathy Hocul [sic] keep away from the 25th anniversary ceremony, The Post has learned.
The Port Authority Retired Police Association penned scathing letters to the lefty pols insisting they are not welcome at the hallowed memorial.
“We do not believe you have earned the privilege to stand at Ground Zero alongside us, the families, survivors, and our fellow first responders,” President John McDevitt declared in the Aug. 11 letter addressed to Mamdani, writing on behalf of the group’s 600 New York and New Jersey members.
“Your presence at Ground Zero on 9/11 would cause profound pain to members of the 9/11 community and risk turning a solemn day of remembrance into a political controversy.”
The association pointed to Mamdani’s Israel-bashing “rhetoric and affiliations that we believe have been hostile to law enforcement” as the reason for their demands, as well as political statements they view as “sympathetic” to anti-American movements or individuals….
A spokesperson for Hochul said she “has enormous respect for all the families who lost loved ones on 9/11, which is why she will proudly stand alongside them at this year’s commemoration. Make no mistake: Muslim New Yorkers, like people from every walk of life, served as first responders and helped unite the city in the aftermath of 9/11. The Governor knows we can respect these families while being clear that Islamophobia has no place in New York.”
Has Governor Hochul forgotten that Muslims across the world, and even in the U.S., celebrated the 9/11 attacks? Did she see nothing wrong with lighting up One World Trade Center (the building that has replaced the Twin Towers) to celebrate Muslim Heritage Month? And why does her spokesman mention that “Islamophobia” has “no place in New York”? What irrational fear or hatred of Islam has been shown by anyone? Fear and hatred of the votaries of Islam, and of the texts and teachings that animate them, is not irrational; it is only common sense, given that Muhammad himself said in a famous hadith that “I have been made victorious through terror”; that more than 48,000 terror attacks by Muslims have been carried out around the world since 9/11; that the Quran is full of contempt and hatred for all non-Muslims who are described as “the most vile of created beings.”
A Mamdani spokesperson reiterated the mayor’s previous pledge to be there on Sept. 11 to “proudly honor the families, the survivors, the first responders forever impacted by that horrific terror attack by standing alongside them at this year’s 9/11 commemoration.”
Mayor Mamdani has no decency. As a “proud Muslim,” he shares the ideology of those who carried out the 9/11 attacks. Like them, he believes that “Islam is to dominate and not to be dominated.” He apparently does not share their belief in terrorism as the proper tool to achieve that end, but he agrees on the desired result. His presence will cause much distress to the survivors, to the relatives of those who worked in the Twin Towers and were killed, and to the relatives of the first responders —policemen, firemen, EMS staff —who also died that day.
None of that matters to Mayor Mamdani. He doesn’t care what those relatives of the people who died that day want. He will show up, and by doing so, enrage many of those in attendance, and take attention away from those being honored. But what did you expect from a man such as Zohran Mamdani?

The movement of the “Relatives of those murdered by Muslim terrorists on 9/11/2001 have signed a petition calling on New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani not to attend the 25th anniversary ceremony,” is very good idea.
For insidious un-American Islamic subversive stealth jihadist Mamdani is a two legged walking and talking affront of adding insult to injury to the surviving family members of the people who had been murdered on Islamic attacks of Islam’s jihad on September 11th. 2001 by the Muslim terrorists of al Qaeda.
Walter Sieruk says
The surviving family members of the people who had been murdered by Muslim terrorists on September 11th 2001 are right and justified by having a petition to ban that Muslim mayor Zohan Mamdani from being present at the 25th anniversary memorial events.
For Mamdani is very fond of death –inflection jihad terrorism as observed by his favorable view those murderous affronts committed by the jihadists of Hamas of 10/7/23.
Looking at look had his jihad likeminded friend that other Muslim Politician Ilan Omar who was so callous as that say that those 9/11 terrorists attacks happened because “some people did something”
Even worse an imam called those terrorist death attack on 9/11 a “comedy show.”
In addition, on the day of September 9 2016 some man I know who works as a security guard at a public place told me a Muslim actually had the nerve to walk over to him and said to him two Muslim “Jokes” about 9/11. As if it was a funny subject. It’s wrong to even try to “joke” about 9/11. Talk about bad “jokes” those two are the very much worst of all.
The first, was “What is the difference between September 11, 20001 and a cow?” answer “You don’t keep milking a cow after fifteen years.” Not only is that “joke” awful but those Muslims trying to be funny by say that cruel thing do have some gall because they have no room to talk . For they are still are “milking” the topic of the crusades and the crusades have been over for well more than seven hundred years. What gall they have!
The second, “Muslim “joke” about 9/11 is “On September 11, 2001 the people trapped on the upper floors of the WTC had ordered their pizza sent to them two plane.” To say that such “humor” is terrible is an understatement. Furthermore, those Muslim who say those “jokes” are really only exposing their own sick, vicious, callous and heartless Islamic mindset.”
Walter Sieruk says
That dangerous insidious subversive stealth jihadist, Zohran Mamdani’, is really the one who should be arrested, for treason, or at least sedition against the USA.
Sharia and anti- Jewish hate is not or should not be part of America.
It’s the US Constitution and freedom as well as hate for none should be essence of America.

What else can be expected of scummy slugs and thugs with a muzzie mindset?
hochul has her “imam” whom she praises, while wearing the ugly rag on her evil-supporting head.
There is an old poem/prayer for the person who “hates me” to show it “by their limping.”
If riots break out, it will be the fault of the muzzie scum and the scum supporting the muzzies.
They don’t have the sense to stay away from the places where they are unwelcome. And it will give them evil pleasure to make others uncomfortable.
