In the case of an emergency in the building, he asked his foreman and crew, where was he supposed to reassemble? The answer was the corner of Broadway and Vesey.
Over the next few days, noticing some fellow Muslims on the job, Mr. Abdus-Salaam voiced an equally essential question: “So where do you pray at?” And so he learned about the Muslim prayer room on the 17th floor of the south tower.
He went there regularly in the months to come, first doing the ablution known as wudu in a washroom fitted for cleansing hands, face and feet, and then facing toward Mecca to intone the salat prayer.

NYT, shove it up your Obama.
Pretty soon, only Muslims will read your rag...oops, make that only Muslim men. (We know how they treat their women.)
On September 6, 2001, a freshman from a class of Pakistani immigrants at New Utrecht High School in Bensonhurst, Brooklyn was overheard by his English teacher, Antoinette DiLorenzo, to say that the two World Trade Center towers "won't be standing there next week." After DiLorenzo reported the incident on September 13, the youth and his older brother were questioned by the FBI and local police. According to police, the youth admitted to making the comment but he and his brother said he had been kidding.[74]
I mean, what the hell else would they say. At some point, nations are probably going to have two choices regarding I-Slam, i.e. either submit to it, or ban it. I'd be in favor of banning it.
You mean the dirty mossies were washing their stinking feet in the bath room sinks at the towers.
What was the point of this article?
More to the point is, how many died there (other than the hi-jackers)?
Or were all moslems told to stay home sick that day?
The Twin Towers was owned by the Port Authority until 2001. The Port Authority being a governmental agency would violate the First Amendment clause of establishing a religion. Has anyone ever raised this issue?
This washing the feet in the sinks for washing hands had become quite a problem in some NYC schools.
Not long before accommodations were made for the feet washing so it wasn’t done in the sinks.
Stoning,maiming, denying education to girls, denying medical care to women, beheading all okay.......but not washing one’s feet............oh the inhumanity!!!!!!!!
The New York TImes is run by idiots.
Ahem! Muslims were the one’s flying the planes!
So now the leftist narrative was that 9/11 wasn’t a terrorist attack, it was the beginnings of an urban renewal project.
Their war should not be with us, it should be betweeen muslims. Moderate muslims are the ones who won’t speak up. Moderate muslims are the ones who remain silent. If they do not show that there is a difference between moderate and radical islam, how are we supposed to believe there actually is a difference. If they are a religion of peace, why are most of the wars happening in muslim countries? There is a limit to the lies Americans will swallow but we are quickly reaching our limit.
Silly citizen. Everyone knows that the First Amendment establishment clause only has any teeth when it is used against Christians. The same caliphate Port Authority is holding up the rebuilding of St. Nicholas Greek Orthodox Church at the sight and I have no doubt that "establishing a religion" is part of the "justification" for that.
I understand your point, but it may not matter. Muslims have been for many years, and remain, the majority of the victims of Muslim lethal force.
Amongst the "pious," the reasoning seems to be if that if you're killing "that other kind of Muslim", it's OK, you're purifying Islam; and even if you end up killing "you own kind of Muslim," they are all regarded as shahadas and they all go to Paradise, so it's still OK.
a moslem.
