Did the 9/11 hijackers and plotters succeed? Can it finally be said, nearly twenty-two years after they murdered nearly three thousand people in New York and Washington, that they have attained their objectives?
Back in 2003, Osama bin Laden wrote a letter to the American people in which he explained, “The first thing that we are calling you to is Islam.” Twenty years later, that very call will resound from loudspeakers all over the city that was his chief target on Sept. 11, 2001. (All the 9/11-was-an-inside-job types can find bin Laden taking responsibility for the attacks here). New York Mayor Eric Adams on Tuesday announced what Gothamist described as “new NYPD rules” that “will allow mosques in New York City to broadcast the Muslim call to prayer without a permit.”
Adams couched this rule change in language designed to give the impression that he was doing something for people of all religious communities, but ended up making it clear that he was making a special concession to Muslims only: “For too long, there has been confusion about which communities are allowed to amplify their calls to prayer,” he said. “Today, we are cutting red tape and saying clearly, if you are a mosque or house of worship of any kind, you do not have to apply for a permit to amplify your call to Friday prayer.” Well, great, but the only “house of worship of any kind” that has a call to prayer, and particularly one for Friday, is a mosque.
As given to shallow demagoguery as any other Democrat politician, Adams concluded grandly: “You are free to live your faith in New York City.” That’s swell, although the religious freedom of Muslims in New York City wasn’t really restricted before this. Adams appears to be completely indifferent to the fact that there are non-Muslims in New York City as well as Muslims, and there has been controversy over the broadcast of the Islamic call to prayer over loudspeakers for years.
Back in 2016, Gothamist itself reported that neighbors of one city mosque found the call to prayer “too noisy,” and noted that they had “filed 156 noise complaints against Masjid al-Aman.” It’s grand that Muslims are free to live their faith in New York City, Mayor Adams, but do the neighbors of mosques have any right to enjoy a non-intrusive, noise-free environment, at least insofar as such a thing is possible at all in New York City?
9 11 aside, the fact that this is ok by the liberals but a Bible silently sitting in a school library is taboo, tells anyone with a ounce of gray matter that there is a problem. Smmfh...
The country would have been better off if Bush had done absolutely nothing after 9-11, when compared to what he actually did. Dead and maimed soldiers; trillions of dollars spent.
All because Saddam tried to kill his daddy.
Pretty much cinches the chance of me ever visiting New Yalk. Never. No way. Try that shit out in the middle of Kansas you friggen ragheads.
Well, the ‘neighbors’ ought to get hip! Build a ‘Ruby Tuesday's’ right across the street.
There are LOTS of other options too:
• Crank up the ovens at 3 a.m. ... and roast hog ALL DAY!!! • Have a Pork Breeders association street festival • Host a BBQ competition in the parking lot
In hind sight yes... But I can’t really say much because at the time I supported it 110%...
Live and learn, I suppose.
Btt!
“That is only the start.”
A precedent has been set.”
I don’t disagree. Just clarifying what was in the article.
yes
[A mere seven years after 9/11 the American people elected a man named Hussein to be their president.]
Yep, and the most damning fact: He was and is a Muslim sympathizer.
And here we are 22 years later.
