On November 21st, 2015, Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump said to supporters in Birmingham, Alabama, "Hey, I watched when the World Trade Center came tumbling down. And I watched in Jersey City, New Jersey, where thousands and thousands of people were cheering as that building was coming down."

Occam’s Razor says that the simplest explanation is best. Numerous New York and New Jersey residents insist that they or those close to them saw New Jersey Muslims celebrate 9-11. New Jersey radio station 101.5 quotes some of these accounts here. A sampling:
Tom Penicaro: “I worked for PSEG in Clifton on the Paterson boarder and I witnessed it firsthand. They were celebrating in the streets cheering and stomping on the flag. I am a Marine and I remember very very clearly because I was so pissed I wanted to engage them with a bat I had in my van.”
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!”
Occam’s Razor suggests that when numerous people, using their first and last names in a public forum, and providing concrete details that can be checked, all provide similar accounts of public behavior, chances are they are telling the truth.
i recall some celebrating here. Thousands happened in the Middle East. Some did here. More than a handful i can’t say.
The Muslim celebrations happened, I saw them on CNBC that morning (as did my good FRiend StephenJohnBanker) and many OTHER FReepers.
There is now a concerted effort by the Muslim fifth column in this country to deny that which we know happened. It is the same sort of denial that was witnessed of the local German townspeople who lived nearby the Nazi death camps, they refused to believe, acknowledge or even consider the possibility that such atrocities were happening in their region.
It happened. And denying it demonstrates the cowardice of the denier(s).
Plus you have the videos to back it up.
Excellent article.
Various sources put the Muslim population of NJ at 160,000 to 200,000.
The minimum number for Trump’s “thousands” claim to be accurate would be 2,000. That means that 1.3% of NJ Muslims would have to have celebrated.
Though nothing can be proven at this late date, that 1.3% is certainly possible.
This is a good article
There may not have been a mob of thousands celebrating in one place but there were certainly 1000’s of small celebrations
Saw it in Brooklyn as well. It was awful, Islamic glee and contempt as the Trade Center was burning.
What happened to comment #2 by Helicondelta?
I wonder if CNBC and other channels archive their newscasts. One would think so, and that it would be a simple matter for them to check. Of course, the MSM is not anxious to check because they know what they’ll find out if they do.
I live within the Chicago TV market.
I remember distinctly that the Chicago stations cut to their Detroit affiliates to show live coverage on Michigan Avenue in Dearborn, Michigan.
Not only were they celebrating, they were clamoring for a camera and open microphone to tell the world how they felt.
It was purely an *in you face!* moment.
I wish someone would dig up that video. It had to have been archived. I would so love to see the usual suspects eat crow.
Yes. Next question.
If it were Hillary or Yeb who had made this claim, the media would have dug up all of their old footage and reports showing these celebrations and run them on continuous loop to support them.
The famous video of Rev. Wright pronouncing “America’s chickens have come home to roost!” indicates that the celebration of our distress was viscous continued for sometime after 911.
It doesn’t matter
