This actuslly pisses me off so much. The ONLY mayor who has been continuously listening to his people and trying to better the city, and by extention himself, is being "demanded" to not visit the 9/11 memorial. This is just straight up racism and islamphobia, and I dont want to stand for it.
An online petition urging mamdani not to attend the ceremony has already reached 100,000 signatures. Why? Because he is Muslim, I'm in no way a believer in God. But that is beyond ridiculous, what does his faith (that he continuously proven not to be affected by) have to do with his sympathy towards these poor victims? They even launched a protest infront of New yorks hall while holding up disheartening boards while calling him indecent things.
It is valid for those people to be mad and upset over an incident like this, but it is in no world an excuse to discriminate a group of innocent people for the ALLEGED acts of some. Educate yourselves a little, will you, white people?

History repeats itself. What an awful reminder of how Muslims and other faiths that wear head coverings were treated after 9/11. Mamdani is an American. He is the major of NYC. He didn't orchestrate the attack on the towers. He is there as a representative of NYC - to show that the city remembers the lives lost and the heroes who put their lives on the line. There's no valid reason why he shouldn't be at that memorial.

What terrible timing for a spelling mistake

americans and their bumasses trying to pin everybody but their past presidents who orchestrated tragedies
people need ta realize that regular and respectful believers are not the same as mentaly ill fanatics and we will for sure see real WHITE racists there
muslims aren’t responsible for 9/11. it’s time people start looking at the world in a different light
They aren't! Who's going to convince Americans though. They want to pin such attacks on anybody they could benefit from getting wiped out.
