NJ Muslims celebrating 9/11 has now un-happened...and Ben Carson agrees
American Thinker ^ | Ed Strakler

Posted on 11/24/2015 3:40:19 AM PST by RoosterRedux

People can be forgiven if they don't know whether to believe Donald Trump's claim that he saw Muslims celebrating 9/11 in New Jersey. But I, a New Yorker who was nearly killed in 9/11 and had that day burned into my memory, saw it with my own eyes. There was a video aired of the incident. I remember seeing obviously Arab-looking individuals dancing and shouting for joy on rooftops. There were less than thousands of them, but there were way more than a handful.

And it wasn't in the Gaza Strip. I know Jersey City well enough to be able to tell the difference between the two (though increasingly there are similarities). In the article I wrote yesterday, many of you wrote in the comments section that you saw the same news video.

Liberals are attempting to discredit Trump by parsing his words. The key phrase is that Trump saw "thousands of Muslims celebrating." Of course, the video didn't show thousands of Muslims celebrating 9/11. To do that, you'd need footage from the Goodyear Blimp floating over the stadium at the Meadowlands. But there were significant numbers, dozens at least, who were celebrating. But because the "thousands" part of Trump's claim cannot be substantiated, the media want you to think the whole thing never happened.

A Washington Post reporter was even interviewed about an article he wrote at the time describing police investigating reports of Muslims celebrating 9/11 in New Jersey. The reporter, Serge Kovaleski, answered very carefully, telling CNN he had no memory of thousands, or even hundreds of people celebrating. But nowhere is he asked if he saw dozens of people celebrating. Because the media want you to think it never happened.

"In Jersey City, within hours of two jetliners' plowing into the World Trade Center, law enforcement authorities detained and questioned a number of people who were allegedly seen celebrating the attacks and holding tailgate-style parties on rooftops while they watched the devastation on the other side of the river."

--Washington Post, September 18, 2001

‘They’ are parsing the word ‘thousands’ while Hillary lies about dead men in Benghazi (& everything else)

...and Obama simply lies, lies, lies

Shheeesh!

I saw the videos of them cheering later in the day on 9/11. Then GWB told us about the RoP and that we needed to do our patriotic duty and go shopping....and the videos were never seen again. The UniParty Globalist Agenda always wins.

My dad and I were talking about this.

He said: “.... why don’t we ever watch CNN?”

I said “Cause they lie.”

He said “Do we have any intel telling us that Donald lies?”

I said “No sir”

That’s it folks, who are you going to believe a guy who never seems to lies or ABC,CNN, NBC, etc that lies and fabricates the news constantly? We, meaning my family, are sticking with and believing Donald John Trump.

There were hundreds of thousands of Muslims celebrating 9/11 in the Middle East.

They were celebrating in Paterson too. I remember, there were news reports then as well.

how about parsing obama’s words? He said only widows and orphans migrate to US. That’s a lie.

Well, Trump was mistaken about thousands but he was probably right about dozens partying on rooftops. And they of course were just the visible tip of the iceberg. Everyone, including liberals, knows that a large percentage of Muslims in America took pleasure in 9/11, seeing it as just deserts for the Christian imperialists. The deeper issue is that there’s a whole bunch of liberals who agree with them. It’ll never be seriously discussed out in the open but it’s there.

Absolutely. With billions of Muslims in the world, a million or more probably celebrated, at least in private.

Why? Why does the media want to protect muslims? What if Christians had been celebrating? It would be all over the news. Why does the left side with muslims when they are so anti-American, anti-women, anti-freedom, and anti-homosexuality? Why???

The left and the Muslims share the same father.

***The key phrase is that Trump saw “thousands of Muslims celebrating.”***

I saw the film about them celebrating in Gaza, and read about many others celebrating in the USA.

Around the country I bet it was in the high thousands and that is the point. Who is there allegiance with? I think we know when the chips are down.
