There is no doubt that the USG and the MSM want to engage in revisionist history on this issue. At the time, there was great concern about reprisals against Muslims in the US. So reports of any celebrations had to be either suppressed or discounted. Currently, the flood of Muslim refugees into the US also demands some revisionist history to support the narrative that they are no threat to America and that they will be assimilated and be good Americans. The same kind of MSM self-censorship is being exercised in covering Somali refugees in MN. Or FT Hood. Or the Boston Marathon bombings ad infinitum.
Anyone who opposes the narrative is a racist and un-American.
Perhaps, but the claim was that he saw thousands of Muslims celebrating in Jersey City.
How many people do you think have to be in on the conspiracy to "scrub" all clips from the various TV station archives, YouTube, etc? I'd say it has to be well into the thousands, all rallied and coordinated within a day after Trump made the claim.
Pretty impressive.
“Here is a good article that came out today on the controversy.
Did New Jersey Muslims Celebrate on 9/11? The facts and the eyewitness.”
You are right. Very good article with lots of information.
“William Hugelmeyer: “I was working in the jail when the attacks occurred. Once it was clear it was a terrorist attack, we had inmates celebrating. This instantly caused a lockdown. As you could imagine, many other inmates and officers didn’t share their jubilation.”
John Pezzino: “They were in the streets banging on the cars trying to drive through the crowd in the street. The Muslims were shouting death to Americans and Allah is great other crap I didn’t understand. We were amused until a car with 3 young women mistakenly turned on to main st. The muslims were banging on their windows and screaming, thats when we came out of our car and pushed the muslims off their car helped them back out and get back to the Parkway.”
Walter Emiliantsev: “I lived in NJ at the time on Demott Ave., Clifton! When I tried to go to Paterson to my brother in laws shop, I usually took Main Ave. There were so many people dancing on Main, I couldn’t get through! I KNOW what I saw!”
I wandered over to the article you linked and ended up in an “I know you are, but what am I” with a lefty ideologue. My bad. I’m back.
