Mamdani Accuses New Yorkers of Islamophobia Fabricating Story About His 9/11 Hijab-ed Aunt

It’s not islamophobia, it’s islamorealism. “Islamophobia” as Christopher Hitchens once said “a word created by fascists, used by cowards, to manipulate morons.”

Mamdani has gone on the offense accusing New Yorkers of islamophobia. The only specific ‘victim’ of 9/11 Mamdani mentions is his late aunt, who ‘stopped taking the subway after September 11th because she did not feel safe in her hijab.’ No mention of 3,000 murdered on that fateful day.

Mamdani’s ’emotional’ recounting of his aunt’s post-9/11 fears of Islamophobia was a lie since she lived in Tanzania during the attacks and did not wear a hijab.

Vice President JD Vance criticized New York City mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani on Saturday, writing on X that according to the Democrat, “the real victim of 9/11” was his aunt.

“According to Zohran, the real victim of 9/11 was his auntie who got some (allegedly) bad looks,” Vance said.

BREAKING – It has been revealed that the “aunt” Zohran Mamdani shed fake tears over, claiming she stopped riding the subway after 9/11 because she didn’t feel safe wearing her hijab, neither wore a hijab nor lived in New York City at the time; she lived in Tanzania. pic.twitter.com/xloRCG49rD

My aunt had a similar story. She stopped taking the subway after 9/11 because two muslims flew a plane into her office and killed her. https://t.co/iN0o5VLRqG

The very word “Islamophobia” is a fictional construct, as journalist Claire Berlinski explains, “The neologism ‘Islamophobia’ did not simply emerge ex nihilo. It was invented, deliberately, by a Muslim Brotherhood front organization, the International Institute for Islamic Thought, which is based in Northern Virginia….Abdur-Rahman Muhammad, a former member of the IIIT who has renounced the group in disgust, was an eyewitness to the creation of the word. ‘This loathsome term,’ he writes, ‘is nothing more than a thought-terminating cliche conceived in the bowels of Muslim think tanks for the purpose of beating down critics.’”

Any criticism of jihad terror that examines its ideological roots in Islam is called Islamophobia, The word is used to intimidate people into thinking there is something wrong with opposing jihad terror. This deforms our response to terrorism by placing off-limits any examination of its guiding ideology, and effectively enforces Sharia blasphemy laws in the US by placing Islam, Quran, Muhammad beyond criticism.

Byron York: Zohran Mamdani has apparently decided to make accusing New Yorkers of Islamophobia the theme of his NYC mayoral campaign’s final week.

Here, Mamdani again discusses 9/11 only in terms of post-attack ‘hatred and bigotry’ toward Muslims, without saying a word–no, not a word–about the nearly 3,000 people killed in the Twin Towers, the Pentagon, and on the planes hijacked by radical Islamic terrorists. The only specific ‘victim’ of 9/11 Mamdani mentions is his late aunt, who ‘stopped taking the subway after September 11th because she did not feel safe in her hijab.’ Will this strategy work in the NYC campaign? Will it work in any campaign in the United States? (York).

His “lesson” from 9/11? His own words: Time and again, it is the lesson that safety could only be found in the shadows of our city, that it is in those shadows alone where Muslims could embrace the fullness of our own identities, and that if we are to emerge from them and it is in those shadows where we must leave our faith. These are lessons that so many Muslim New Yorkers have been taught again and again and over these last few days (Mamdani).

How about the victims of 9/11? How about a word about the violent outworking of Islamic faith?
