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?
Walter Sieruk says
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.
Namer says
NYC has the mayor it deserves and wanted. Only about 20% if the electorate could be bothered too actually vote and Mamdani’s biggest supporters were Gays, Jews and women – all groups that his religion does not like.
Gamzu says
Jews were not among his biggest supporters. Something like 65 to 70 percent of Jews voted for someone else.
gravenimage says
Less then a third of Jews voted for Mamdani, Namer–so how were they his biggest supporters?
somehistory says
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.
Billy Bones says
Good to see the nonsensical word Islamophobia taken apart. As pointed out a phobia is an irrational fear of something. There is nothing irrational about non-Muslims, aka infidels being fearful of Islam as the empirical evidence, things you can see with your own eyes, keeps happening day after day.
Rhona M Bork says
EXACTLY. And now I can counter this argument that keeps coming up from liberals pushing “tolerance.”

Given the history of Islam throughout the centuries, with all the violence, death and suffering that has accompanied it, and events rising from the 1979 Islamic Revolution and moving onward, we are seeing what Islam has always preached, what it stands for and the violence/suffering it creates…the following quote is more than true.
“”Islamophobia: a word created by fascists, and used by cowards, to manipulate morons.”—
Christopher Hitchens
Remember.
There is no ‘radical Islam’. There are no ‘radicalized’ Muslims. If they are devout Muslims, they are just being orthodox and doing what the Qur’an/hadith commands that all Muslims do. Clerics/Imams that keep saying Islam is ‘the religion of peace’ are…lying…and they know it. Look up ‘Taqiyya’, using more than just one source and how it applies to all Muslims and then, realize that their religion/cult tells them to lie to infidels or non-believers, especially if it will place Islam in a better position socially or ‘tactically’. Breaking your word, an oath, a treaty, etc., in Western culture is one, if not the worst thing that can be done between countries. Other religions/faiths tell their adherents that lying is wrong and a sin. Islam says as long as it is for the right reason, to place Islam higher, it is not only OK, but good. The other time Muslims are allowed to lie is when trying straighten out a delicate family problem of some kind.
Now, this should give an idea about Trump trying to negotiate a deal with Iran and the problems he is having. He cannot trust them to either tell the truth or stick by their agreements.
Westman says
Infidel politicians are so easily fooled. A little glad-handing from a Muslim officials, an assurance that jihadis are outliers, a whining visit from CAIR, a significant donation to the campaign, and in the pocket they go. They never read Islam’s books and assume it’s just another religion that stays in the scope of normal religion, with no desire to rule the secular world before their “holy one” returns.
Now we have a bad-intentioned Mayor Mamdani wooing Governor Hochul at an event at which they are both not wanted. Hopefully, down the road, Mamdani’s continual demand for State-money bailouts will wake her from the Mamdani spell.
James Lincoln says
Westman says,
“They never read Islam’s books…”
Yes.
And interestingly, journalists rarely ask, “have you read the Koran?”
gravenimage says
So true, James. I am amazed at how many people tell me the Qur’an is peaceful–who have never read it and will not read it.
One of the first things I did after 9/11 was to read the Qur’an to see if it really preached violence. I expected maybe a few equivocal passages, but was shocked at how vicious it it. And that was before I knew anything about abrogation and the chronological order of the Suras, which only makes it worse.
ploome says
Mamdani must be totally humiliated if he shows up..
How can we do that?
࿗Infidel࿘ says
Yeah, if Mamdani dares attend, attendees should not treat the occasion as solemn, but must make it so ugly for him that he never dares show up at one of these events. I don’t care how many idiots in NYC voted for him: I daresay that the bulk of them weren’t around when 9/11 happened, and what’s more, a lot of them are America-hating migrants who somehow managed to get the vote while no one was looking, during Biden. In which case, 9/11 ain’t theirs either, and they too should just go to work that day (assuming that they have real jobs) as though nothing has happened
Start a revolution in NYC so that its being a traditional magnet for immigrants reverses: that it now has the repulsion property of magnetism, rather than attraction

carpediadem says
Apparently only about 5% of NYers voted at all.
The vote was carried by international Muslims students organised from overseas as per the NY Post.
All of this could have been avoided had people in NY chosen to vote.
How many of the first responders, families of 9/11 or just normal people avoided casting a vote, the simplest easiest way to keep NY American?
David Rasch says
I suspect this moslem mayor would need more than police protection, if any police showed up.
Taffy says
I do not know any specific people who have died in the Muslim terror attack on the Twin Towers or in the Pentagon attack or in the field in Pennsylvania. But, as a patriot, 9/11 is a solemn day of remembrance for all who lost loved ones, and it is a day for those people to collectively grieve and never forget that day.
No one needs Hijab Hochul’s or Muzzie Mamdani’s presence at the event to detract from its solemn nature as they read the list of those who were murdered by a Muslim jihad that we’re still fighting. Those two are the antithesis of patriotism to the US. They obviously only care about their own political agenda.
Hey Mamdani, maybe you should’ve attended America’s 250th birthday and said a few patriotic and encouraging words that unite us Americans. And maybe you should’ve attended the Israel Day Parade and marched up Fifth Avenue, waiving to the crowd, and said a few words on a non-controversial topic such as Israel’s technological achievements. And Maybe Hochul should not have donned a hijab a couple of weeks before 9/11.
So you two stay away and let those who lost loved ones seek solace in the ceremonies without seeing your faces.
࿗Infidel࿘ says
Fully agree w/ you. Speaking of knowing 9/11 victims, a former opthalmologist of mine had a nephew who was on Flight 93, and who had a plaque in his lobby commemorating his sacrifice. I lived in the Bay Area during the time, and recall the weeks after it happened. My son was born in November of that year and received a patriotic cap while being discharged from the hospital
In fact, if al Qaeda needed to be represented at the ceremonies, Mamdani would be a fine representative of them, in spite of him being a shi’a

Maybe,NYPD should tell him that they cannot guarantee his or his wife’s safety. They should tell him that they will ‘try’, but a ‘guarantee would be impossible..
I think it would be a good thing to bar any Canadian journalists from this as the Canadian government has forbidden them from saying anything that indicates it was a terrorist attack.
Canada, tell your so-called journalists to tell the truth or keep them home.
࿗Infidel࿘ says
That would be a great way to convince him to not show up. Who is NYC’s deputy mayor? Is s/he any better?

Amen brothers !!!
neither of them should attend
JDow says
According to “TheReligionOfPeace.com” the number of DEADLY terror attacks since 9/11 is 49925 as of about 00:45 on Sept 1 2026. Isn’t it bloody well time a stop was put to this nonsense?

JDow,
Yes, The most vile ideology must be put to death. But there is nothing in the horizon to even have a vision or dream of the same.

The moslemites tried to buy Giuliani just after the event with 25 million.They failed. Giuliani is gone as mayor. Now the Port Authority carries on the fight with the moslems who still demand a victory mosque on the site. My opinion ion.

Giuliani to Mamdani–what a devolution…

Moron Zamboni, the islamist communist mayor of NYC SHOULD be there representing the muslim community, without whom there would be no memorial. He should proudly call out “allahu ack-a-bar” at the times that his fellow co-religionist yelled while flying those planes into the WTC. It’s an honor for him to represent the ummah on a day that muslims are most proud of.

It would be totally inappropriate for the Mayor of New York not to show up.

everything about a 34 year old Jew hating, American hating, Ugandan, Indian, marxist, Muslim, never having had a job, acquiring American citizenship 8 yrs ago
becoming mayor of NYC-and wanting to change everything that made NYC and America the worlds’ powerhouse
is totally inappropriate
and a total failure of our immigration system….importing and encouraging the diverse population that envies and resents the economic and cultural success of the American people, and demand the successful redistribute their earned assets
they are unable or unwilling to work for
are than 80% of his administration come from “diverse” cultures that do not identify with the foundation of USA,
and are eager only to have the American people provide
somehistory says
As a person not in the U.S. not a citizen living in NYC, that’s not for you to determine.
If the families of the dead, the co-workers of the dead, the friends of the dead, do not want the scum to be there, then he should be prevented from attending.
His presence there will be like rubbing the noses of the victims’ families in…..a muzzie supposed supremacy .

Even though the 9/11 families have told him he is not wanted? How is imposing his pro-Jihad self “appropriate”?
