00:00:00.000Zorhan Mamdani has been asked by a bevy of 9 11 families not to attend the 9 11 memorial.
00:00:06.000According to the New York Post, families of 9 11 victims are demanding that Mamdani be banned from the 25th anniversary of the attacks at Ground Zero, branding him an apologist for Islamic terror whose presence would be an insult to the memories of the nearly 3,000 people murdered.
00:00:19.000Giovanni Galante, whose 29 year old wife, Grace Catherine Galante, was among the 2,977 innocents killed by Al Qaeda, said, quote, Our objection is based on his public record, his failure to meaningfully acknowledge the horror of that day, His employment of, support for, or association with the individuals who have minimized 9 11, defended terrorists, or even suggested that America deserved the attacks.
00:00:40.000He is the organizer of a petition drive that has collected over 1,100 signatures, including from at least 300 victims' families.
00:00:47.000And again, there are a bunch of reasons that are cited, including his palling around on the mayoral campaign with a man named Imam Siraj Wahaj, who is a notorious gay hating Brooklyn Imam who once urged followers to participate in gun free jihad and march through the city of New York.
00:01:03.000He was an unindicted co conspirator in the 1993 World Trade Center bombing.
00:01:07.000And here is a picture of Zorhan Mamdani with Siraj Wahaj.
00:01:17.000Or how about Mamdani's appointment of Ramzi Qasem as the city's chief counsel?
00:01:22.000Qasem defended Ahmed Al Darbi, an Al Qaeda terrorist who pled guilty in a 2002 plot to bomb a French oil tanker, and Mahmoud Khalil, the radical organizer of the anti Israel, pro Hamas tentafat at Columbia University.
00:01:36.000The mayor endorsed a fellow Democratic Socialist of America named Abra Kawas for a state sentencing, even though she once described 9 11 as a terror attack that, quote, a couple of people did, and expressed sympathy for Ahmed Farhani, who pled guilty in 2012 to blowing up a Manhattan synagogue.
00:01:50.000And of course, he endorsed Daria Lisa Chevalier and campaigned with her.
00:03:32.000And of course, like a week and a half ago, he decided he would display behind him in his studio a headline about the World Trade Center being destroyed from 9 12.
00:03:43.000Oh, you might have noticed something, some changes behind me.
00:03:48.000I finally framed the Cutie Cinderella newspaper from 9 11, the morning of 9 12, the newspaper right there, the newspaper that covered 9 11.
00:04:01.000It's now officially sitting behind me, and I moved the North Korean poster up in place of the fan art.
00:04:24.000For 9 11 families, got to say, it's probably the same for families of people, Jews in New York who are being targeted by Zoran Momdani's followers when he issues his anodyne statements about how violence has no place in New York City.
00:04:37.000Here's Zoran Momdani again at that Smarmy Bane face on.
00:04:43.000A number of people who are survivors of 9 11 are calling on you not to go to 9 11 memorial services.
00:04:50.000I wonder how you feel about the fact that they're trying to keep you away.
00:04:54.000I will 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, reaffirming that we will never forget the solemn day felt by all of us who call this city home and, frankly, by all of us who call this country home.
00:05:22.000When Western civilization decides the real threat is not our enemies, it's us.
00:05:25.000When we decide that Islamophobia is the problem, not radical Islam.
00:05:30.000When we decide to open our doors to people who hate us and then teach our kids that we're the bad guys, it turns out the barbarians take over and they wear slick suits and they smile smarmy smiles and they repeat platitudes about how they love America.
00:05:41.000But meanwhile, they say we need to end America as we know it in every single way.
00:06:06.000Setting up the narrative that would be used for the next couple of decades by groups like the Council on American Islamic Relations, a group with unindicted co conspirator links to the Holy Land Foundation's terror trial, with roots going back to groups associated with Hamas, using Islamophobia as their rallying cry.
00:06:25.000There was George W. Bush back in 2001, a signal error by the president.
00:06:30.000These acts and violence against innocents violate the fundamental tenets of the Islamic faith.
00:06:41.000And it's important for my fellow Americans to understand that.
00:06:46.000The English translation is not as eloquent as the original Arabic, but let me quote from the Quran itself.
00:06:53.000In the long run, evil in the extreme will be the end of those who do evil.
00:07:04.000For that they rejected the signs of Allah and held them up to ridicule.
00:07:12.000The face of terror is not the true face of Islam.
00:07:19.000Okay, now again, this is this idea that he had to stand up for Islam broad writ led to this nonsense that the real problem in the post 9 11 era was Islamophobia, which of course is something that Zoramam Dhani constantly says.
00:08:24.000Okay, and it turns out that if you preach over and over for decades that America is inherently Islamophobic, that the true danger of the 9 11 and post 9 11 era is not radical Islam, which, you know, that's just a fringe thing, just a few people.
00:08:37.000The real problem is widespread American bigotry and Western bigotry.
00:08:40.000You're going to end up doing two things at once.
00:08:42.000First, you will ignore the true problem of radical Islam and its extent.
00:08:47.000And second, you will teach your kids that they and their parents are intolerant bigots if they oppose, say, more mass immigration or question the precepts of the people who preach radical Islam.
00:08:57.000The columnist Christopher Hitchens had it right back in 2009.
00:09:02.000Resist it while you still can and before the right to complain is taken away from you, which will be the next thing.
00:09:08.000You will be told you can't complain because you're Islamophobic.
00:09:14.000The term is already being introduced into the culture as if it was an accusation of race hatred.
00:09:20.000For example, or bigotry, whereas it's only the objection to the preachings of a very extreme and absolutist religion.
00:09:28.000They are just symptoms of surrender, very often ecumenically offered to you by men of God in other robes, Christian and Jewish and smarmy ecumenical.
00:09:37.000These are the ones who will hold open the gates for the barbarians.
00:09:41.000The barbarians never take a city till someone holds the gates open for them.
00:09:46.000And it's your own preachers who will do it for you and your own multicultural authorities who will do it for you.
00:09:58.000And now London, of course, has been taken over.
00:10:01.000So, how much of a problem is radical Islam?
00:10:02.000The answer is a pretty large scale problem.
00:10:05.000Now, again, this doesn't mean that all Muslims or even the vast majority of Muslims are violent and radical.
00:10:11.000But according to the Center for Strategic and International Studies and the UN Security Council and the US State Department, there are about 300,000 actively armed militant members of terrorist groups like ISIS, Al Qaeda, or Hamas.
00:10:21.000As many as 150 million Muslims express passive support or favorable views toward terrorist groups.
00:10:27.000And their violent tactics in Pew polling.
00:10:30.000Hundreds of millions of Muslims, according to Pew, support Sharia law as governing law.
00:10:34.000Now, American Muslims are less radical than their international compatriots, but even among American Muslims, according to a Pew poll published two months ago, 44% expressed sympathy for the terrorist group Hamas.
00:10:44.000So, yes, it turns out that radical Islam is a problem.
00:10:51.000Nzor Mamdani literally spoke at a mosque that, at its services, called for the killing of infidels.
00:10:56.000This would be at the Al Khoi Islamic Center in Queens.
00:11:01.000As the first Muslim mayor in our city's history, and this year as the first Jummah that I have attended in that new position, and to do so together, it is a reminder that in this month of Ramadan, as we find moments of reflection, of recommitment, moments of community, that we always do so together.
00:11:25.000And it is together that I am thankful to be here today, and I'm thankful to have the opportunity to lead our city.
00:11:32.000The person is saying, Through your hands comes the relief for the believers and the killing of the infidels by your sword.
00:11:42.000Again, the religion of peace has some rather non-peaceful aspects, as people in Berlin, Paris, and New York have learned over the course of the last couple of weeks alone.
00:11:50.000So, what did our obsession in the United States with preventing Islamophobia accomplish?
00:11:55.000Well, in 2001, there were about 600,000 Muslims living in the New York City metro area.
00:12:17.000Pew Research indicates that over 25% of all Muslim immigrants in the Northeast of the United States arrived after 2000, primarily from South Asia, West Africa, and the Middle East.
00:12:26.000And the Muslim population of the United States skews much younger than the general population.
00:12:31.00026% of American Muslims are aged 18 to 24, as opposed to 12% of the general population.
00:12:37.000So that means that Muslims are about three times more likely to be current college or university students when compared to, say, Christians or Jews in New York.
00:12:46.000So, we imported people who are disproportionately sympathetic to the anti Americanism of Zorhan Mamdani and his allies, more so than with the 9 11 victims and their families.
00:12:55.000But importation isn't the only problem, obviously.
00:12:58.000We also decided this is the undercurrent of the Islamophobia thing that America is bad.
00:13:05.000We decided that we were going to teach our kids that America is bad.
00:13:08.000Remember just a couple of years ago, there was this entire TikTok trend of kids reading the Osama bin Laden 9 11 letter and deciding he was right.
00:13:29.000In his 2004 book, Good Muslim, Bad Muslim, Mamdani, quote, dispels the idea of good, say secularized and westernized, and bad pre-modern fanatical Muslims.
00:13:38.000Instead, he argues that political Islam emerged as a result of a modern encounter with Western power, and that the terrorist movement at the center of Islamist politics is an even more recent phenomenon, one that followed America's embrace of proxy war after its defeat in Vietnam.
00:13:52.000So, again, the idea is that America caused Islamic terrorism.
00:13:54.000There was no such thing until America, which is weird since Islamic terrorism goes all the way back to the Quran.
00:13:59.000One of the most infamous quotes from the book Suicide bombing needs to be understood as a feature of modern political violence rather than stigmatized as a mark of barbarism.
00:14:08.000We need to recognize the suicide bomber first and foremost as a category of soldier.
00:14:13.000Here was Professor Mahmoud, again, he's teaching your kids at Columbia, talking about America as the settler colonialist state.
00:14:23.000A Christian nation state decides to cleanse it of all religious minorities, Jews and Muslims in particular, and at the same time launches a colonization experiment the discovery of the Americas.
00:14:44.000America is the genesis of what we call settler colonialism, and the American model was exported all around the world.
00:14:57.000The American model was settler colonialism, right?
00:15:00.000Again, if you wonder if this has any impact on his students, how about the impact that it had on his son?
00:15:05.000Here is Zorn Momdani talking about his father's worldview.
00:15:10.000And my father also taught me so often when you're growing up as a minority in a place, you can grow up also with a sense of almost a chip on your shoulder.
00:15:22.000With it also comes the ability to see the truth of a place in its entirety, the promise of it, and that which still needs to be worked on.
00:15:30.000And that was in such a way so freeing to hear as a young person to understand my place in the world and the responsibility that I had within it and the fact that it was a gift, not a burden.
00:15:43.000The place in the world was to imitate the beliefs of his fathers and to mainstream them.
00:15:47.000And we imported his dad, we imported his mom.
00:15:53.000Again, this is what America did to itself.
00:16:15.000Meanwhile, in Michigan, there's an ongoing pitched battle for the Michigan Senate Democratic seat between Haley Stevens, who's sort of a normie left wing Democrat.
00:17:14.000His defense was that it is racist to point out his foreign properties.
00:17:20.000People are going to pay attention to just properties that literally my wife's family inherited and then put in their and all of their kids' names and then sold.
00:17:32.000And people out here being like, oh, well, and I wonder why they're so focused on foreign properties with somebody with a name like mine.
00:17:41.000Oh, it's racism, Islamophobia, you might say, to notice things.
00:17:46.000And it turns out, of course, Abdul El Sayed has an explanation, as it turns out, for everything bad happening in the United States.
00:18:02.000That's something that perhaps we haven't heard before in Washington that's different to keep the cost of living down.
00:18:07.000So let me just tell you for me, it's I don't take money from the corporations who are jacking up your prices in the first place when you're bought off by DTE and Blue Cross and Big Pharma and Big Tech and AIPAC.
00:18:21.000It was AIPAC that's the reason prices are going up.
00:18:24.000Again, what can't he blame the Jews for?
00:18:30.000It is the Democratic Party that has decided to mimic this nonsense wholesale.
00:18:34.000Here's James Tallarico announcing that he has learned as much from Islam as he has from Christianity, which is a hell of a take.
00:18:41.000I know personally that I've learned as much about my faith from Salman's tradition, from the Islamic mystics, from poets like Rumi, as much as I have from Christian authors and Christian writers.
00:19:00.000Now, listen, I'd be remiss if I didn't note that the Horseshoe Wright has also taken up the gauntlet here since they too wish to burn down America because they believe that it is.
00:19:31.000But that beating every day in our heads that every Muslim was a terrorist was the idea that you got to all Muslims growing up during that time in America.
00:19:38.000I am sorry on behalf of America for the way that you were treated.
00:19:43.000When I go back and I re examine that propaganda, that brainwashing that took place in the classroom to make me scared of something I didn't even know what a Muslim was.
00:19:53.000Tucker Carlson, too, spending his days running interference for Islam over and over and over.
00:19:59.000For whatever it's worth, a pretty fervent Christian, and I feel completely comfortable here in the seat of Islam.
00:20:07.000If you have a society in which people bow down before God five times a day, I'm not against that.
00:20:16.000I should bow down before God five times a day.
00:20:20.000And I wish I lived around people who bowed down before God five times a day.
00:20:25.000But you go to the Gulf, and it's incredible to be in a place that has pride in itself, that believes in its religion and culture, that thinks we're onto something.
00:20:43.000They're into things that I'm not into, like, I don't know, polygamy or Islam.
00:20:47.000And I can sort of look at it and be like, no one's forcing this on me.
00:20:50.000I'm not mad at you for being a polygamist.
00:20:54.000Yes, Islam, famous for not forcing things on people.
00:20:58.000Again, this is the demoralization operation is very real on the right, but it links hands with the decades long attempt to paint America as the bad guy on planet Earth.
00:21:09.000And the result is a person like Zarnamdani as mayor of New York.
00:21:13.000Meanwhile, again, we'll see whether the weakened Democrats can come up with any opposition to this at all.
00:21:17.000It'll be interesting to see what happens in the Michigan Senate race.
00:21:21.000Haley Stevens, again, is running against El Sayed, and she is trying desperately to sort of play the old playbook.
00:21:27.000And we'll see whether it works or not.
00:21:28.000Here she was in her debate with El Sayed last night.
00:21:32.000A lot of you remember Abdul from when he first ran for governor in 2018.
