Muslims Are The Real Victims Of 9/11, According To Zohran Mamdani
Six days after Islamic terrorists murdered thousands of Americans on September 11, 2001 — as many victims remained unaccounted for, and as rescue workers continued cutting through the rubble — George W. Bush spoke at the Islamic Center of Washington. The president stated that the terrorist attacks, although they were committed by Islamists in the name of Islam, had actually contradicted the fundamental tenets of the faith, because, as he put it, “Islam is peace.” Bush also affirmed that Muslims in the United States “love America just as much as I do.”
Ask any historian, and they’ll tell you that Bush’s “Axis of Evil” speech — delivered five months later, at the State of the Union — was the defining neoconservative speech of the era, the one that launched the global war on terrorism and established its objectives. But that’s not true. It’s actually not even close to true. The real goal of the neoconservative movement, from 2001 onward, was spelled out at the Islamic Center of Washington by George W. Bush, as Ground Zero was still smoldering.
That speech made it official: Neoconservatives were not going to defeat anti-American evil abroad. Instead, in response to 9/11, they would accelerate their efforts to import this evil into the United States, on the theory — which they maintained in public, with a straight face — that foreigners from the Middle East were just as American as anyone else. To be clear, Bush did not simply make the claim that al-Qaeda — along with millions of Muslims all over the world — had misunderstood the Quran’s call to murder non-believers. Bush went much, much further than that. He declared that Muslims from foreign countries, most of whom advocate for sharia law, are just as American as you are.
What happened next is almost never talked about, although it’s one of the most important — and catastrophic — developments in the history of America. We didn’t pause or end Muslim immigration to the United States. We increased it dramatically. I want you to stop and really pay attention to what I’m about to share.
Here it is: Virtually the entire current Muslim population in the United States came here after 9/11. This is a chart from DataHazard:

In the 1990s, there were between 500,000 and 1 million Muslims in this country. Now there are more than 4.5 million. Put another way, in this country, the Muslim population has more than quadrupled since 9/11. Guess what’s happened to the Christian population in Iraq during that same period — the country we were supposedly liberating? It went from 1.5 million to around 200,000. They were ethnically cleansed. They were terrorized and killed, or forced to leave.
Meanwhile, some of our most important cities — the centers of our economy — were flooded with Muslims. We were told to welcome these people and give them refuge from their third-world hellholes because, after all, they’re just as American as we are.
So how have things turned out, exactly? Nearly 25 years after 9/11, after several decades of unfettered neoconservatism and liberalism, what does New York City look like today?
As of 2024, more than 20% of the voters in New York currently struggle to speak English. That’s not an exaggeration. It’s from a document prepared by the “Office of Immigrant Affairs” in the mayor’s office: “22 percent of New Yorkers … are considered to have Limited Language proficiency.”
Think about that for a second. One in five New Yorkers can’t speak the English language. One in five people in our largest and most important city cannot speak our language. Pick a random person on the street, and there’s a good chance you won’t even be able to have a conversation with them. Nor will you have any shared culture or history whatsoever. You will have nothing in common with this person — this “American.” Overall, 38% of the population of New York wasn’t even born in America. And of course, roughly 35% of these foreigners are unemployed and completely dependent on the government for survival. They are contributing nothing to this country or its economy.
This is a demographic replacement that, under administrations of Bush and Obama, was sold to the American people as a clear positive. After all, who wouldn’t want more hard-working, peace-loving future Americans to move to this country and contribute their talents and work ethic to the advancement of Western civilization?
That particular outcome was never going to happen. Instead, we have imported so many foreigners who despise this country and Christianity in general that the next mayor of New York City is almost certainly going to be a Muslim socialist from Uganda who openly mocks the victims of 9/11. To that end, the other day, this Muslim socialist, whose name is Zohran Mamdani, delivered his closing argument in the mayor’s race. Watch:
Zohran through tears: “My aunt stopped taking the subway after 9/11 because she did not feel safe in her hijab.”
Yes, she was the real victim of 9/11

This is a line that Mamdani has trotted out in other contexts, as well — including a video that his campaign put out, in which he complains that Muslims have been forced “to endure hatred and bigotry in the shadows.”
So he really thinks this is a compelling argument. He’s saying it’s horrifying and sad that his aunt’s tummy felt funny when she wore a hijab on the subway, shortly after Islamist terrorists murdered thousands of Americans and destroyed one of the most recognizable landmarks in the entire country. And not only that — he’s blaming us for his aunt’s feelings. He’s not blaming the Muslim terrorists. It’s our fault. Mamdani’s aunt is the real victim here.

The one where he says, “What terrifies me is if ISIS were to detonate a nuclear device and kill 50 million Americans. Imagine the backlash against peaceful Muslims?” This is, essentially, the closing argument of the Mamdani campaign.
You can watch Mamdani’s full remarks, and he never really gets around to mourning the thousands of Americans who were slaughtered at the hands of al-Qaeda, or explaining why they died and who killed them. He also never gets around to articulating any actual harm that his aunt supposedly suffered. You’d think, if this were really a bigoted white supremacist hellhole, that someone would’ve actually done something to his aunt. It wouldn’t all be in her head. But that didn’t happen. Nor did it happen to anyone like Mamdani’s aunt.
First of all, the story is almost certainly made-up for political reasons. We all know that. It’s completely unverifiable. It makes no sense. Additionally, there are now reports floating around that Mamdani has just one aunt, who lived in Tanzania during 9/11, according to her LinkedIn, and who doesn’t wear a hijab in photographs posted on social media.

Whatever the truth may be, don’t expect The Washington Post or “PolitiFact” to look into this, for obvious reasons. Mamdani is a sociopath. They know it. That’s why they support him in the first place. And to be clear, he’s not just lying about his aunt here. In that campaign video I mentioned earlier, Mamdani tries to claim this is broader than his aunt. He says that Muslims are constantly antagonized in this country. Watch:
The dream of every Muslim is simply to be treated the same as any other New Yorker.
And yet, for too long, we have been told to ask for less than that, and endure hatred and bigotry in the shadows.

There’s a lot to go over here. Mamdani constantly runs down this list of grievances that Muslims supposedly have against our country. A country that they have flocked to in record numbers. But the complaint about “random screening” is always the most incredible. In reality, to this day, they make sure to screen elderly white disabled grannies at TSA just as much as they screen military-aged Arab males named Mohammed, even though 0% of the global terror threat comes from the former and 100% comes from the latter.
This country has bent over backward for the Zohran Mamdanis of the world. Muslims have been treated far better here and have been far more welcomed than any white American Christian would be in any Muslim country. In fact, Muslims have been treated better in the United States than they’re treated in many Muslim countries. There wasn’t any sort of campaign of persecution and oppression against Muslims after 9/11. In fact, the government went absurdly out of its way to avoid even the impression of such a thing. Our government responded to 9/11 by apologizing to Muslims, and then importing millions of them into our cities, and letting them build their mosques and blast their call to prayer over the loudspeakers at 5:00 in the morning. That’s the kind of “persecution” they’ve endured. The persecution of being welcomed here and given literally everything they want with virtually no pushback whatsoever.
And for all that effort, we don’t get even so much as a thank you in return. Instead, they whine and complain and denounce and accuse us. And work every day to subvert our country and destroy everything that made us great.
In response, you’ll often hear leftists argue that “hate crimes” against Muslims supposedly went up after 9/11. And they’ll show you this chart of “reported hate crimes.”

There are about a thousand different problems with their argument here. First of all, as we’ve discussed many times, “reported hate crimes” are a meaningless category. The idea of a “hate crime” itself is meaningless, but a “reported” hate crime is even more meaningless. A reported hate crime is when someone calls the police and claims someone did something mean to them. It’s not an arrest. It’s not a prosecution. It’s not a conviction. It’s a report.
For example, if Mamdani’s aunt called the police and said someone yelled at her for wearing a hijab, that would count, even if it wasn’t true. So by the definition of “hate crime,” roughly 95% of the hate crimes are just flat-out fake. They’re either misinterpreted by the victim, or the victim himself called them in, to get sympathy.
And even given this definition — which is extremely overbroad — there were still fewer than 500 hate crime reports involving Muslim victims, across the entire country, in the aftermath of 9/11. So there was one hate crime report for every five people who burned to death, or jumped out of a burning building, or died in a plane crash on 9/11. And we’re supposed to be horrified by these numbers. Compare those figures to other religious groups, and the narrative falls apart even further.

Using the FBI’s numbers, from 2001 to 2012, hate crimes against Muslims were reported roughly as often as hate crimes against Christians (including Catholics and Protestants). Jews are at the top of the list. The category of “other religions” and “multiple religions” together reported more hate crimes than Muslims.
If you get back to the hate crime chart, you’ll notice even more issues.
It’s pretty clear from the trajectory here that, after the spike in reported “hate crimes” post-9/11, reports of hate crimes against Muslims plummeted, then went flat, for the rest of the decade. And that’s remarkable because, again, the Muslim population exploded during this period. So you’d think that the raw number of hate crimes against Muslims would go up, simply as a matter of statistics. But the number didn’t go up. In fact, it went down. And it stayed down.
The point is — no, there was no epidemic of criminal violence against Muslims after 9/11. There was no legitimate reason for anyone to be afraid of wearing a hijab. But even if Muslim women were afraid of wearing a hijab on the subway — that would actually be completely rational. When Islamists commit mass murder in the name of their religion, it’s entirely reasonable to feel uncomfortable if you go out in public, days later, showing off an unmistakable sign of your submission to Islam. It would be weird if we lived in a society where that wasn’t the case. When members of a religion slaughter thousands of us, and then point to supposedly holy texts that explicitly validate their approach, then basic survival instincts dictate that we take a closer look at people who adhere to that particular religion.
Meanwhile, if you look at hate crime convictions, instead of reports, you’ll find that, according to the DOJ, there have been around 200 “anti-Muslim hate crime convictions since 9/11.” That’s it. A grand total of 200 convictions, over more than two decades. That includes everything from making threats to vandalism to murders. (And there were just three murders in this category, out of the 200 total “hate crimes.”)
Already, you can see how minuscule these numbers are when you consider the fact that we’re a country of 340 million people. But just for fun, let’s put that number in context. By one estimate, in the same time period, since 9/11, there have been at least 160 actual, confirmed Islamic terrorist attacks on the U.S. homeland.
Not “reports” of attacks. Actual violent attacks by Islamists in the United States. So if you’re going to try to make the argument that “Islamophobia” is a real thing, then by the exact same token, you need to agree that Islamist ideology is a much, much bigger deal.
Of course, the truth is that there was no rash of “Islamophobia” after 9/11 or whatever. Instead, what’s happened is that we’ve imported millions of people who openly despise this country and its forefathers— including Mamdani’s father, who believes that Hitler was inspired by Abe Lincoln. (He also wrote in his book that we should consider suicide bombers as “soldiers”).
Watch:
Zohran Mamdani’s father was ethnically cleansed by Ugandans in 1972, along with 80k other Indians. The Brits took him in as a refugee. Americans gave him a scholarship and a professorship. And he’ll never forgive us for it. https://t.co/gOcH3vrSWP

Mamdani’s entire family needs to be denaturalized and deported. That’s what it takes, at this point. This is a guy who was forced, along with his entire family, to leave Uganda by the dictator Idi Amin. He wanted the entire Asian minority gone, and he gave them 90 days to get out of the country. (This is the same dictator, by the way, who uttered the infamous line, “There is freedom of speech, but I cannot guarantee freedom after speech.”).
As they forced nearly 100,000 Asians out, Ugandan soldiers robbed, beat, sexually assaulted, and killed many Indians. So this was a very desperate time for people like Mamdani’s father. They would have easily been killed or forced into poverty. But Britain took them in, along with many other refugees. Ultimately, Mamdani’s father was welcomed into America, where he became a well-paid professor at Columbia University, where his wife would become a millionaire director working on Disney movies, and where his son would ultimately become a theater kid writing school essays about “white supremacy.”
So, Mamdani and his family and his fellow Muslims have not been persecuted at all in the slightest. They have not faced hate crimes at a rate any higher than any other religion, and in fact have faced them at a lower rate than several other religions. They have been nothing but welcomed, tolerated, and celebrated. One of the very first things the President of the United States did in the immediate aftermath of 9/11, while the rubble was still smoldering, was step on stage and talk about how wonderful Muslims are. And yet, through all of this, across thousands of public speeches and interviews and debates, here are two words we’ve never heard Zohran Mamdani say: “Thank you.” As in, “Thank you, America, for opening your arms to me. Thank you for allowing me to come and reap the benefits of a nation that nobody in my family or my home country or my religion has any hand in building. Thank you for continuing to welcome us even after co-religionists attacked you. Thank you for giving me everything, while I have given you nothing in return. Thank you for taking me in, and taking in my people, and supporting us and feeding us and housing us, and taking food out of your own children’s mouths to put into ours. Thank you.”
Zohran Mamdani has never said that, or anything like it. And every year, we welcome millions more foreigners into this country who will never say that, or anything like it. You teach your children to say please and thank you, and yet we import millions who have never said it, and will never say it, and demand more even as they show no gratitude or appreciation for what they’ve already been given. Mamdani is their poster child. He has no spirit of humility or gratitude at all. He takes from us and then scolds us for not allowing him to take more. He sits down at our table uninvited, eats more than anyone else — doesn’t even use a fork — complains that he wasn’t served better food, and never says thank you. Not once. And we, as Americans, are sick of being treated this way.
This was always going to be the result of decades of uninterrupted immigration from countries that are fundamentally incompatible with our own, at a cultural and religious level. It was always going to be the outcome of decades of false rhetoric, promising that Islamists are somehow just as “American” as anyone else.
This is what “neoconservatism” and “neoliberalism” have in common. Sooner or later, both ideologies — which are supposedly polar opposites — guarantee that anti-American foreigners will start running in our elections. And although they can barely speak English, they will eventually out-vote Americans. And then, without firing a shot, they will conquer the very city they attempted to destroy on 9/11. Barring a miracle — barring a realization that eluded New Yorkers, and most of America’s political leadership, for decades — that’s exactly what’s about to happen.
