Of course, really, Mamdani is in a no win situation. He’d be lambasted for not participating, lambasted for not showing up
Mayor Mamdani expected to attend 9/11 ceremonies for 25th anniversary, Trump will not
Mayor Zohran Mamdani is expected to attend the September 11th ceremonies, despite calls from some critics.
While the city has been preparing for a presidential visit on the 25th anniversary of the terror attacks, as of now, President Trump is not expected to attend.
Instead, the administration will be represented by Vice President JD Vance.
Trump is expected to commemorate the day at the Pentagon in Washington D.C., and is expected to deliver remarks.
OK, they managed to make it All About Trump. Will anyone be going to Shanksville, Pa, where Flight 93 crashed?
‘Let us have our peace’: Fearing disruption at Ground Zero, 9/11 families ask Mamdani to stay away
…
Giovanni Galante, whose wife Grace Catherine was among those killed by al-Qaeda terrorists on September 11, 2001, told the Post that Mamdani’s intention to attend the ceremony was “a slap in the face… Not because he is Muslim – because of who he supports. He represents values that are not ours.”
Florida real estate agent Galante was responsible for launching a petition last month, alongside other family members of those murdered on 9/11, calling for Mamdani to be excluded from the 25th-year memorial events on account of his association with extremism and refusal to condemn antisemitism.
According to the petition, concerns have been raised about Mamdani’s public positions, including a perceived reluctance to “clearly and unequivocally condemn phrases such as ‘globalize the intifada,’ which many interpret as endorsing or normalizing violence.”
Further, the mayor’s “associations with individuals whose public statements or records are viewed by family members as dismissive of American institutions or insufficiently critical of extremist ideologies,” the petition read.
Mamdani essentially takes the side of Hamas. If you do that you are on the side of Islamic terrorists. But, again, damned if you do damned if you don’t. I really wouldn’t be surprised if some of his hard left and Israel/Jew hating Comrades showed up to “protest” and cause problems on 9/11, though.
Hopefully a bunch of other big wigs in the Democrat party who are on Hamas’ side stay away. Will hard left nutters like AOC be at the memorial?
9/11 victim identified weeks before 25th anniversary of attacks
It has been almost 25 years since the Sept. 11 attacks on America rocked the country, but scientists are still trying to give closure to those families who lost loved ones.
Weeks before the quarter-century anniversary, New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani and the New York City Medical Examiner’s Office announced that another person was recently identified, The New York Times reported.
It was the first identification in nearly 12 months.
The victim was an adult woman whose family did not want her name released. She is the 1,654th identification made since 2001.
While that seems to be a large amount, the job is not nearly done, as about 40% of victims of the 9/11 attacks have not been identified by name.
That seems wild to me that 25 years later the bodies are not all identified.
Maybe Mamdani will bring his good friend, Hassan Piker, to the commemoration.
Bwaha! Lolgf!
MAGA47 Motherfuckers!
The ones who deserved to be banned are the entire Bush, Cheney, and Rumsfeld families, any CIA or Mossad agents, or anyone else responsible for that Deep State attack on America.
Trump will not be attending.He will be golfing
Teach
Will you be going to the 9/11 memorial? Or will you be taking the day off ?
Because of my school being super woke we have no classes on 9/11
The Christianist Teach has a hard on for Mayor Mamdani. But Mamdani was not connected to 9/11, any more than Shohei Ohtani is connected to Pearl Harbor. Mamdani was born in Uganda to Indian parents. His father was Muslim; his mother Hindu. The 9/11 terrorists were Saudis, Sunnis rooted in Salafi-jihadism, which is an ultra-conservative movement. Mamdani is a Shia Muslim, specifically following the Twelver branch of Shia Islam.
Comparing Mayor Mamdani to a Salafi is dumber than expecting an ultra-conservative bomber of an abortion clinic to be an Episcopalian!!
We understand that nativist bigoty is THE lifeblood of the MAGAts, but we do not have religious tests in the United States. Yet.
First Amendment:
“Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof…”
MAGAts (christianists) be crazy.
And yet you seem to lump all Christians into one group. Hmmmmm. Who is the idiot here?
I suppose your “..free exercise thereof..” includes murdering thousands of people. Typical leftist twat.
Commenter typed: “…you seem to lump all Christians into one group”
Nope, not at all. While I am not a believer, most Christians are more decent than far-right-wing Christians, who largely ignore the teachings of Christ.
Our north of Arkansas atheist wrote:
This, from the man who knows nothing about the teachings of Jesus. Jesus reaffirmed the law given to Moses:
Those would include the prohibitions on homosexual activity, and men wearing women’s clothing. It isn’t the “far-right-wing Christians” who largely ignore the teachings of Jesus, but the oh-so-kind liberal ‘Christians.’
What did Jesus say about homosexuals and the transgendered?
Anyway, Father James Martin, in response to this backlash of empathy posted on social media, “The lack of empathy is at the heart of our mistreatment, mockery, and demonization of the poor, of migrants and refugees, of LGBTQ people, and all those on the margins.”
Father Martin is a Jesuit. The Society of Jesus (Jesuits) is the largest Catholic religious male order and it has played a significant role in education, charity, humanitarian acts and global policies. Jesuits are engaged in evangelization and apostolic ministry in 112 countries, including education, research, and cultural pursuits.
We understand that education, research, charity and humanitarian acts are anathema to reactionary right christianists who support oppression.
Mr Dowd plays ignorant:
I already told you: he said that not a single letter of the laws handed down to Moses would pass away until Heaven and earth themselves passed away. That encompassed a great deal, not just homosexuality and transgenderism. Jesus didn’t bother to list them all individually, or if he did, such was not recorded, because what he said was enough.
Yes, Fr Martin advocates for homosexuals and the like, but in one way, he is very wrong. His advocacy for nicer treatment of homosexuals has been interpreted as saying that homosexual activity is acceptable, and it isn’t. One can’t help being homosexual, the Church contends, but that homosexuals must remain celibate.
Treating someone as you would a tax collector was a pretty harsh condemnation in first century Judea, but that was how Jesus told his Apostles to behave. He was giving those who were wrong a chance to reform and repent, but for those who would not, he advocated ostracism by good people.
So the Catholic Mr Dana knows more about Christianity than does Fr Martin?
That seems unlikely. Are Mr Dana and Fr Martin in different sects? Your sect seems to emphasize the supposed sin of homosexuality. And what does your sacred text say about transgenderism?
Does Jesus then fulfill ALL the laws of the prophets? Can you supply a list of ALL the laws that Jesus fulfills?
Let’s tie a bow on this thing.
Homosexuals and the transgendered are actual humans with hearts and brains. Angels, gods, demons, miracles, heaven, hell are ideas.
Your “laws” passed down from Stone and Bronze Age goathers are no more instructive than the beliefs of Sumeria, Babylonia, Egypt, indus valley, Greece, MesoAmerica etc. The earliest religions appeared 50,000 years ago.
We all have our right to our beliefs but cannot force our beliefs on others. Does Mr Dana believe that he must stop homosexuals and the transgendered to get into heaven??? Why else does he and other primitive Christians care so much?
