Families of 9/11 Victims Want Terrorist-Loving Communist Zohran Mamdani Banned from 25th Anniversary Remembrance

The terror nepo baby wants to be there for the gloating.

Families of 9/11 victims are demanding NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani be banned from the 25th anniversary of the attacks at Ground Zero, branding him an apologist for Islamic terror whose presence would be an insult to the memories of nearly 3,000 people murdered.
"Our objection is based on his public record -- his failure to meaningfully acknowledge the horror of that day, and his employment of, support for, or association with individuals who have minimized 9/11, defended terrorists, or even suggested America 'deserved' the attacks," said Giovanni Galante -- whose 29-year-old wife Grace Catherine Galante was among 2,977 innocents killed by al-Qaeda terrorists.
Galante, 55, is one of the organizers of a petition drive that has collected over 1,100 signatures in a little over a week, including from at least 300 victims' families.
"This day is sacred to us," said the Brooklyn-born real estate agent who now lives in Florida.
"It is not political, and it is not a platform for those connected to such views. His presence would be deeply hurtful and inappropriate -- like an unwelcome guest at a deeply personal ceremony."
Galante and other petition organizers hope to gather enough signatures to convince local lawmakers and the ceremony's organizers, the nonprofit 9/11 Memorial & Museum, to keep Mamdani away from the silver-anniversary ceremony planned for the former Twin Towers site in Lower Manhattan.
The petition posted on Change.org cites an array of concerns about Mamdani, who is the city's first Muslim mayor and has promoted his religion since taking office in January. They include:
* Mamdani's refusal to condemn the "globalize the intifada" rallying cry for violence against Jewish people.
* His palling around on the mayoral campaign last year with Imam Siraj Wahhaj, a notorious, gay-hating Brooklyn imam who once urged followers to participate in gun-free jihad and "march through the city of New York." Wahhaj was an unindicted co-conspirator in 1993 World Trade Center bombing.
* His appointment of Ramzi Kassem as the city's chief counsel. Kassem has defended Ahmed al-Darbi -- an al-Qaeda terrorist who pleaded guilty in a 2002 plot to bomb a French oil tanker -- and Mahmoud Khalil, the radical lead organizer of the 2024 anti-Israel tentifada at Columbia University.
* The mayor's endorsement of fellow Democratic Socialist of America member Aber Kawas for a state Senate seat -- despite her once describing 9/11 as a terror attack that "a couple of people did" and expressing sympathy for Ahmed Ferhani, who pleaded guilty in 2012 to plotting to blow up a Manhattan synagogue.
* Hizzoner's endorsement of Darializa Avila Chevalier for Congress. Mamdani has called the DSA insurgent the "perfect candidate" despite her radical past, which includes once calling the U.S. "a f--ing disgrace" and boasting she desecrated the American flag by using it like a napkin to wipe her filthy hands.
* Mamdani defending al-Qaeda fiend Anwar al-Awlaki -- and blaming America for turning the prostitution-loving cleric into a terrorist, according to some of his 2015 social media posts that resurfaced last year. Al-Awlaki became a prominent imam at mosques in San Diego and Virginia, eventually interacting with three of the heinous 9/11 hijackers there, U.S. officials have said.
* Mamdani's dad, Mahmood Mamdani, a chaired professor of African history and colonialism at Columbia University, has expressed sympathy for suicide bombers.
"Given these concerns, we respectfully ask that the organizers carefully consider whether Mr. Mamdani's participation would align with the intention of the ceremony and the expectations of the families most directly affected by the tragedy," the petition says.
...
They include Mamdani's longtime association with vile left-wing influencer Hasan Piker, who once said "America deserved" the Sept. 11, 2001 terror attacks, and Mamdani's outlandish claim that he and other fellow Muslims were also victims of 9/11 because it supposedly triggered a horrible wave of "Islamophobia," added Sparacio, of Staten Island.
...
[Q]ueens Councilwoman Joann Ariola told The Post she's ready to assist.
"This is a mayor who has endorsed candidates and has been endorsed by individuals who openly said that 'America deserved 9/11,' so I completely understand why families of those who lost loved ones would not want him there," she said.

Hmm I wonder why the families of 9/11 don't want Mandami at the 25th anniversary memorial ceremony. Could it be for any of the following reasons?
He campaigned with Hassan Piker who said US deserved 9/11
He endorsed Claire Valdez who also said America deserved 9/11
He endorsed Darializa Avila Chevalier who founded a group at Columbia with a stated goal of overthrowing Western Civilization
He sympathized with the Boston Marathon bombers before the murdered bodies were even cold?
His dad has justified "suicide bombing" (like the ones in 9/11) as "first and foremost a category of soldier".
Mandami has refused to condemn the phrase "Globalize the Intifada" which is exactly what 9/11 was
During his mayoral campaign he took a smiling picture with his arm around Iman Siraj Wahhaj who was accused of being one of the co-conspirators of the 1993 world trade center bombing
He has said he wanted to defund the police about a million times and demonized law enforcement
Yeah I wonder why the families don't want him there. The bigger question is how the hell did we get here in the 1st place?
Ps - All the above is readily accessible with a quick google search. He hasnt hid who he is.

32 A year after the attacks, they were still showing footage. Of the towers standing tall. Of the towers being destroyed. Of the people jumping. All of it.

And gradually - with the exception of the annual "morning replays" several channels used to do, I watched as they gradually erased it from existence.

Not rebuilding the towers was one of the worst injustices foisted on us by any representative government. By keeping them gone then building back some pussy bullshit in its place, they let everyone know that we were all "moving on" whether we liked it or not.

Piker also recently hung a new piece of framed art on the wall behind him while he's screaming.

It's an original 09/12/01 front page of the NY Times with the picture of a plane exploding as it hit the WTC.
Hassan bragged in his chat that the piece is "at least a PSA 8 or 9".

The left's current strategy is bizarre.

The obvious play is to claim to be moderate, to what the illegals mostly gone and government corruption ended just not the way Trump is doing it which is mean.

Instead arguing all the illegals even the child rapists should stay and that Somalis stealing billions is a good thing makes no sense as an electoral campaign.

60 "I will proudly honor the families, the survivors, the first responders forever impacted by that horrific terror attack by standing alongside them ... reaffirming that we will never forget." - Zohran Mamdani

The only truthful part in that quote is about never forgetting or, in his case, celebrating 9/11. There needs to be an outright ban on naturalized citizen from holding any elected/appointed/political office or judicial seat. Our homegrown communists are bad enough; importing SOBs like Mamdani that has never assimilated are the last people we need telling us how to be Americans. F' him to hell.

61 Fact - islam is slavery. It is a system of conquest that enslaves the conquered population through rape, murder, and forced conversion to a slave "religion."

The religion part is only a lie. It is a package of stolen mythology and history, made up bullshit, and promises of a reward after they die.

Their slave labor is conquest and funneling money up to the masters.

They have to get on their knees and bow to their masters 5 times a day

They have to follow strict rules laid down by those masters centuries ago.

(To understand this, also understand that at the time of its creation most rulers profited from running the temples and religon, and most religions profited from visits. islam made the visit to their temple mandatory and very profitable for the rulers. The other main purpose of slaves was to act as slave army for conquest. islam glorifies (literally) the act of war and conquest to enrich the masters.)

Nope. He won't be able to pass up an opportunity to sneer and mock America. He did it in his televised speech during the 4th of July on America's 250th Birthday. It's who he is. I believe his 'communism' is a skin suit for his islamist beliefs. Of course, communism and islam are more or less the same kind of cults.

75 Mamdani is not extreme and painting him as so is laughable.

He was 9 when it happened and had to grow up in a nyc that was traumatized about islam. People complaining need to get the fuck over themselvez. These families have suffered but thats no excuse for bigotry.

Those signatories can fuck right off. I have no use for Mamdani, but there's no reason, other than bigotry, he shouldn't be able to attend the ceremonies.

Despite their loss, their Islamophobia doesn’t get to dictate what the mayor of NYC does.

But they have no problem with Trump allowing a nuclear agreement with the Saudis. Fuck them. Israeli intelligence knew about 9/11 and allowed it to happen because, in Netanyahu’s words, “terrorism is good for Israel”.

85 Marly Hornik, the founder of RealAmerica.Vote and NY Citizens Audit, has suggested that the 2025 election included large numbers of unqualified or nonexistent voters. But that’s only part of the problem.

“I actually don’t know whether Mamdani won the mayoral race, and I’m not here to say that he didn’t,” Hornik said during a July 22 interview on New York radio station WABC’s “Sid & Friends in the Morning” program.
....

After examining 1 million of the total 2.2 million voters who participated in the election, her organization discovered that 7 percent were nonexistent in records, 6 percent had fake Social Security numbers, and 10 percent didn’t even live in NYC.

In total, they identified 230,000 illegal votes, which exceeded Mamdani’s 207,000 vote margin of victory over former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo, who ran as an independent.

I'm sure the pols and parties already have a fairly good idea which way it will break all things being even. Now it's just a matter of publishing skewed polls to demoralize the opposition voters to get an edge. Remember that Iowa poll trumpeted in the MSM that had Trump losing Iowa?

Also, I believe about 39% of voters voted in the last Mayoral election, and a high percentage of these people were not born here, so no NYC didn't really get what it voted for. It got what the people who showed up voted for .

Posted by: FenelonSpoke at July 28, 2026 05:37 PM (W90Ou)

88 33% of all people in NYC were born AFTER 9/11

The fact that the perpetrators were mostly Saudi extremists that were affiliated with Bin Laden a man who we had supported for years is well known and taught as history.
They also look at the Global War on Terror as having created more terrorist with the invasions of Iraq and Afghanistan, as eliminating terror

People, especially young people, have learned WHY 9/11 happened, how the USA financed those terrorists to fight the Russians for us Afghanistan. That idea didn't work out so well for us.

Anyone think that the stupid was against Iran will also have negative consequences? We killed the wife and daughter of the current Supreme Leader. Think that will be a plus in the future?

***************
Agree. Years after 9/11 I used to wonder why islam can't be reformed. The answer was clear: you'd be killed vs excommunicated in the modern world.

Sure, my ancestors were probably killed during the reformation beginning in 1517. Sure. However, in the 20th and 21st centuries you'd THINK there would be rational reasoning. However, with inbred barbarians there is no room for this in their tribal tiny IQ's.

There are Christians in Iran. They are the only people I can pray for as their county is bombed to pieces.

GWB had them. HE HAD THEM and stopped. Like his father, whom he avenged with crap intel by Powell.

Then Biden left billions in weapons and people who helped our military in Afghanistan and here we are today. The weapons Iran now has were once ours. The cheapo missiles they fire are from chy na.

It will never end, the tribalism and constant war.

President Trump has, finally, after 47yrs addressed the tumor that metastisized it all. Eradication, please.

109 People, especially young people, have learned WHY 9/11 happened, how the USA financed those terrorists to fight the Russians for us Afghanistan.

This might be one of the most common lies I've ever heard.

The US supported Masood's faction defending against the Soviets. The Pakis supported Hekmatyar and the jihadis.

After Masood won he set up a relatively moderate government while Pakistan continued to support Hekmatyar and also now Mullah Omar

When Bill Clinton withdrew funding for Masood, Pakistan's allies took over the country and sent America's guy back into resistance. This state lasted until Sept 10 2001 when the Taliban assassinated Masood.

At no point did the US support the Taliban or the factions that would become the Taliban.

113 Communism (oh, sorry, Democratic Socialism) is also slavery.

In much the same way as islam, all you have to do is hand total control of your life, and your wealth, over to the ruling regime.

It too has a mythology about a better future, and about how it is only possible if we all "submit." It too requires sacrifice and the main purpose is conquest and conversion through "any means necessary."

And, much like islam the main feature is that the converted get to feel superior to the unconverted, and to blame them for everything. They also get to practice their perverse bloodlust. Really, the parallels go on and on because at their core they both tap into the worst instincts of the unenlightened man.

The cops show up and try to separate son and random guy. Random guy complies. Son decides to start pushing the cops to get to random guy. Then when that doesn't work punches a cop in the face who goes down like a sack of spuds and gets tazed by several other cops.

140 Can we just be grown-ups about Islam? We have to realize it is not, and never will be, compatable with civilization.

141 Of course he's going to show up, and give a speech. And he will specifically condemn the 9/11 attacks. He'll also then subtly apply false equivalences to Israel, the U.S., Trump, inequality, etc. It will be like a wink, subtle to most but glaringly obviously to some.

142 TRIGGER ALERT! Pretty grim stuff. Informed speculation about why Michigan father killed his wife, their six children, and then himself.

144 When I was very young, I could see them building the towers, but only if I went to my neighbor's house and stood on the roof. There were also a couple streets that were high enough for an unobstructed view but I didn't go to any of them until after they were fully built.

In college my architecture proof scoffed at them. He was from Yale and he hated them. I defended them. He hated me.

145 I find it depressing when people say" I don't care what happens to that liberal city." No liberal cities in your particular state? I want people to wise up and I pray that they do, but I remember brave Rick Rescorla and I want nobody in any state to have to go through the horrible carnage and loss of another 9/ 11 ever again.

Good night, all.

I don't think I'd recommend large gatherings of Jews in today's New York City...

Gripes of NYC residents fall on deaf ears over here. Since I have no options in negating the stupidity of the voters in that city, I want them to get it good and hard. They serve no purpose going forward other than an example of what you shouldn't do.

151 I wrote my paper for that class defending FLW and art deco, in comparison to lecorb and the whole post modern BS. It was a big FU to the prof, but I took the class pass/fail and there was no way he could fail me. Admiring FLW in a top university was like going English lit class and admiring a taylor swift lyric. (and yet, ironically, I knew a Berkeley student who took a whole class on tupac. that was later though. And berkeley)

He hated me because I was an engineer who skipped all the intro classes so I was in an advanced class with only architecture students. But I was an engineer.

Here's my ice-cold take: He'll show up and he'll make a very sincere-sounding, solemn speech with his head bowed and his eyes sad and pensive and he'll say all the things an American patriot would say. The same as when Michelle Obama told us fervently "why I love this countreh so much!!!" at hubby's acceptance of the nom in 2008 and why Ilhan Omar has also talked about her deep love for America. And it will fool damn near everyone.

It's just... the right thing to say, for now.

Wolf in sheep's clothing.

153 62 I remain enraged by that statement. He might as well have put out a welcome mat. "Please come and behead us all, as it will be peaceful."

Same. He could have turned the ME to glass on 9/12/01 since the political will was there. But no. He spouted that religion of peace bs and caved. And while I’m at it, let’s not forget that “family values don’t stop at the Rio Grande”. Amnesty loving bastard. And he’s no Texan!

On 9/12/2001 I figured that by 2026 there would not be a muslim left on the planet, yet here we are.
