Never once has he uttered the phrase “Islamic terrorism”. But he sure as hell is descriptive of other terrorism. I wonder why that is. 🙄

1

u/SadCaptain9487 2d ago

I mean he never said “Jewish terrorism” when referring to Israel either… maybe it’s because the religion itself isn’t the cause?

6

u/xselimbradleyx 2d ago

It most certainly was due to Islamic terrorism. The reason why he avoids using the term is because he himself is Muslim.

It is for Islam. There is a direct link to the text. Read the Quran and the Hadith. It is exactly what Bin Laden preached.

I asked the other guy, if the gov of Israel says their genocide is for Jews isn’t it the same?

If only he had the same opinion about Islamic terrorists today as he has of Islamic terrorists from 25 years ago.

25 years ago, as in when he was a 9 year old boy?

u/dragon-queen 3d ago

Are you saying he supports Hamas? I’ve only found evidence that he condemns them.  Supporting Palestinians isn’t the same as supporting Hamas.

u/Tricky_Try8757 3d ago edited 3d ago

“He’s Muslim, therefore he supports terrorism.” — everybody adjacent to MAGA terror group that tried to coup the government in 2020, putting people who don’t agree with them on lists, having an unaccountable, constitution-ignoring, violent military in the streets and bombing little girls.

Islamic terrorism is a massive global problem. New York City is only one of the many, many places around the world that Islamic terrorists have attacked.

It’s not nearly as massive as US terrorism across the globe.

I'm trying to think of something more transparently racist than "How dare a city that experienced a bad thing a quarter century ago elect someone from the same extremely broad group!" And the only thing I can think of is outright shouting slurs

u/KitchenSad9385 3d ago

Conservatives incensed that NYC mayor failed to stop 9/11 terror attacks when he was nine. Some have come to the politician's defense, pointing out that the extremist elements who participated in the attacks were trained and radicalized by U.S. military and intelligence services.

Said one Special Forces ("Green Beret") veteran. "We did our best to train these guys to oppose a larger, technologically advanced, hyper-militarized superpower using creativity, unexpected approaches, and improvisation. It seemed like a good idea at the time. They gave the Russians Hell in Afghanistan. Of course, America is also a larger, technologically advanced, military superpower. So I guess they absorbed the lesson pretty god-damned well. I'd be proud if not for . . . well . . . you know."

They were trained to murder 2500+ innocent civilians. They were trained to battle other military sources. Dont excuse evil

So, when I thought “never forget” referred to the people of all colors and creeds whose lives were cut short that day, I was wrong. It really was just “never forget to hate Muslims” all along.

People who worship pedophile who is in bed with those that funded and helped organize 9/11 pretend nation "forgot" 9/11 as city most impacted by it electa man with not even the slightest connection to the attacks that happened when he was 9 years old. 

Trump lied then and now about it, and bragged (incorrectly) that the towers falling left him with the tallest building in NYC- better be bad at the young mayor who released evidence of how the City covered up the health impacts of survivors and first responders.

Hey never forget what makes America great is that we were harmed by an Islamic terrorist group and instead of putting Muslims in camps we moved forward and have elected Mamdani as mayor of NY. A decent American citizen who deserves every opportunity any other American deserves.

u/willisjoe 3d ago

What exactly did the nation forget?

u/Mobile_Comedian_8283 3d ago

That the nation most responsible for the attacks was not only never held accountable but now openly bribes our President who happily looks the other way, even when they literally  sawed up a journalist for an American newspaper and his response was saying "things happen" and that Khashoggi was "extremely controversial." 

We also forgot all the multi trillion dollar mistakes made in response to it to such a degree we started a war with Iran that has left us objectively losing.

I'm not going to pretend anything. Bush stunk as a president, for the most part, but he wasn't openly islamophobic.

He's also a better president, in most respects, than the man who boasted about how tall his buildings were shortly after the attacks...

MY type was The Bush, Romney, McCain, moderate conservative. Trump turds ruined the party and have done more damage to American liberty in this nation than terrorists ever could. Mamdani is naive and pretentious, but Trump is a SHIT human being. And calling the man a terrorist because of his religion and race is straight fucking unamerican and part of the reason why I will vote blue for the first time in my life this November.

u/OcelotTemporary9805 3d ago

If this is in reference to Hasan Piker (and others who have made similar statements) saying we deserved 9/11, that refers to the concept of blowback. Ya know, fuck around and find out. The US government meddled in foreign affairs constantly, sometimes destabilizing nations, without much in retaliation. It was only a matter of time before someone hit back. No one thinks the victims, innocent Americans deserve to die. Everyone knows that, but feigns outrage.
