POSTED ON DECEMBER 3, 2015 BY JOHN HINDERAKER IN DONALD TRUMP, ISLAM HUH. DONALD TRUMP WAS RIGHT AFTER ALL Donald Trump’s insistence that he saw one or more television news stories about Muslims in Jersey City celebrating the collapse of the Twin Towers in September 11 provoked outrage on the left....
Now, someone has found the TV news report that Trump probably was talking about. It is from a local station in New York and was broadcast on September 16, 2001. The report confirms that Muslims were observed celebrating the collapse of the World Trade Center on September 11, and says that eight were arrested. This is consistent with newspaper accounts that were published at the time, including one in the Washington Post:

Show me the tape of 8 or even 1 Muslim crying that the attacks happened.
no, 8 people is not thousands, but we have hundreds or reports of 2, 5,8 people celebrating. This includes employees at Ford in Detroit, in schools in NJ, etc.
If we had a video of 8 people protesting the video outside the Benghazi compound, would that be enough to declare the video was responsible for the attack?
someone tell Jersey Journal & Mayor Fulop. .....They have been calling JC is not listening.
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3367907/posts “Jersey City Mayor Steve Fulop was adamant that Trump’s claims about cheering Muslims were not true.
“With regard to police reports, there’s no media reports that would substantiate that claim. In the days after 9/11 there was obviously a lot of concern across the country, and accusations at that time were found to be unfounded actually,†Fulop said.
Islamic leaders say they’ve felt increased tensions following the statement. Fulop echoed that.
“City hall was inundated with hundreds of phone calls from across the country,†he said.
Eight ARRESTED. Remember the footage of the BlackLivesMatter crowds? Hundreds and hundreds of protesters. Bet no more than a dozen were arrested.
Good point.
That would make him about 1% right
Hard to believe that there are people ON THIS THREAD supporting the Muslims in their claim that they didn’t celebrate the 9-11 attack, when it’s OBVIOUS they did.
As far as I’m concerned saying he was wrong because he got the numbers wrong, from memory, is like saying Hitler didn’t kill 6 million Jews. It was only a few hundred thousand.
Yep, but, are the Libs and the media acknowledging this?
