NEW YORK CITY, NY β Mayor Zohran Mamdani announced the installation of a Muslim foot-washing station at the base of the 9/11 Memorial in preparation for marking the 25th anniversary of the Islamic terrorist attacks.
Mamdani stated that the addition was long overdue, as Muslims repeatedly lodged complaints about not feeling properly accommodated at the site where thousands perished.
"So far, the 9/11 Memorial has been a total failure, with systemic exclusion built into its very bricks," said Mamdani. "How can you celebrate β I mean, solemnly observe β 9/11 properly without humbly obliging the religion that propagated these attacks? More than anything, what those who lost loved ones on 9/11 want to hear is the beautiful sound of the Muslim call to prayer ringing out over the buried remains of their family. Adding this foot-washing station will allow us to do just that."
In Islamic practice, a person's feet are to be washed before beginning each of the five daily prayers toward Mecca. "With the proper facilities in place, the cries of 'Allahu Akbar' can now ring out across the grounds of the 9/11 Memorial, just as they should," said City Planner Gary Bobolinski. "Now, we do want to acknowledge that some of the families of 9/11 victims did express reservations about the plan. We want to be clear: we have ordered each of those families to attend cultural sensitivity training and threatened them with arrest. Such intolerance has no place here."
At publishing time, Mamdani had also announced that the city would be removing the word "Never" from the sign reading "Never Forget."

Oh, ya. I didnβt check for the Bee. It just was the Bee. Soon it will be the NYP
but, Mamdani!?
Why not call out Governor Hochul. She was wearing a hijab yesterday. On camera
Don’t give him any ideas.
Just going by the headline.... I believed it! Will the Muzz mayor install foot washing tub in Gracie Mansion? (official mayors residence)
My blood pressure immediately started to spike
.....then I saw “The Bee”
Somebody find a stick (no thicker than their thumb of course) and beat some sense into her with it. That's prescribed in Sharia.
I'd take a bet that he's already done it, for his convenience and that of his guests.
Damn...I was all ready to go nuclear!
As long as they enter head first, wash as many feet as possible....
God rid us of this SOB!

Almost a heart attack!! Then ... π
Are we lining up to pee in it yet?
This is so believable now I didnβt even think to look to see if it was satire. I just opened it and saw it was from the Bee.
They won.
Gad! What an ugly puss!
At first, I idn’t realize it was the Bee...but I wasn’t surprised either.
Oh, you almost got me, Bee!
How utterly offensive can this filthy anti- American badturd get!?
