I saw thousand and thousands

... nearly 600 incidents in the first 10 days after the attacks ... a Pakistani grocer was murdered in Texas ... a man on an anti-Arab rampage fatally shot a gas station owner who was an Indian-born Sikh.

In some countries there would have been large-scale mob violence. The relative absence of reprisals reflects well on America and its people.

Now here comes President Trump. He saw thousands and thousands of Arabs cheering in Jersey City, you know. And Evmetro just knows he was right.

I live in Dearborm 40 percent Arabs. There was no celebration. Just shock and feeling bad for the victims. People from over 80 countries died in 911. I am sure lots of white people were celebrating because they saw the war they wanted was coming. Cheney popped a cork on his champaigne bottle.

I never even wondered if he was telling the truth or not. When he said what he did, I already knew that "millions and millions" of Muslims around the country hated America. I also saw some reports at the time of local Muslims right near the World Trade Center celebrating this horrific event. As a righty, I already "saw" that the lefty media reports as little as possible about Muslims doing bad things to America, so I was able to "see" that the number of celebrating Muslims near the attack and throughout the country was most likely far more than the lefty media was covering. I could "see" that the number of Muslims celebrating this attack was obviously far more than what was reported, and it was not difficult to "see", with very little information, that thousands and thousands of Muslims in America celebrated this horrific event.



This would not be relevant to my opening post. All I needed in order to see the thousands and thousands were enough small and local celebrations to actually make it through the lefty media filter, and a basic understanding of how many Muslims in our country and around the globe hate America.

Keep placing "see" in quotes. That only demonstrates your pathetic attempt to backtrack. Did Trump use quotes?

Trump, Nov. 21, 2015: "Hey, I watched when the World Trade Center came tumbling down. And I watched in Jersey City, New Jersey, where thousands and thousands of people were cheering as that building was coming down. Thousands of people were cheering. So something’s going on. We’ve got to find out what it is."

Trying to pull the same thing off again with Iran as we speak.

Iran is 4 times Iraq's size and double the population. it is also extremely mountainous. Imagine how many deaths and how much money the Repubs will piss away this time. Read this board and you will see rightys can't wait for another war.

Howard Stern shaped your beliefs about Muslims? Really?

If you listen carefully you'll notice he's trying to downplay the issue. When one caller mentions they call the suburb 'little Iraq', Stern sighs and terminates the call. The guy is a liberal isn't he? They hate to be "racist" as they call it. So no, it wasn't Stern who is important here, but his callers. Here they are again:

Also, lets not forget the New York Post article, which quotes retired Jersey City police Capt. Peter Gallagher, who responded to the scene after numerous 911 calls from outraged residents. Quote [emphasis mine]:

Some Muslims in New Jersey did celebrate the 9/11 terror attacks during rooftop and street parties until they were broken up by the cops, a new report said Monday.

There were at least two celebrations and likely more, with men shouting “Allahu Akbar” and women chanting in Arabic, NJ.com reported.

“Some men were dancing, some held kids on their shoulders,” said retired Jersey City police Capt. Peter Gallagher, who responded to the scene after numerous 911 calls from outraged residents.

“The women were shouting in Arabic and keening in the high-pitched wail of Arabic fashion. They were told to go back to their apartments since a crowd of non-Muslims was gathering on the sidewalk below and we feared for their safety.”

Gallagher said he cleared a rooftop celebration of up to 30 people at 6 Tonnele Ave., a four-story apartment building with a view of Lower Manhattan, after the second tower fell.

Another witness said he saw a celebration on John F. Kennedy Boulevard, a main thoroughfare in the city.

“When I saw they were happy, I was pissed,” said Ron Knight, 56, who also heard cheers of “Allahu Akbar” — “God is great” — from a crowd of about 20 people that morning.

Residents also placed numerous 911 calls complaining about Muslims partying on a rooftop at a third location, three cops told the website.
….
Jersey City Mayor Steven Fulop, one of many politicians who blasted Trump after the remarks, still denied that celebrations took place despite the eyewitness accounts.​

Then I provided a link to an article in The Independent, written by Muddassar Ahmed, and the headline reads “I knew Muslims who celebrated 9/11 – 15 years on, they know how naive they were”

 

[zymurgy]

sure, it's true.

You know what else is true? Many Israelis cheered - they thought it would be similar to a Pearl Harbor event where the sleeping giant is awakened to help them overcome a rising radical element,

I also saw videos of the extremely religious cheering as this signaled the foreshadowing of a great biblical happening.

Some people suck. big time!

 

[Aarr!]

I also saw some reports at the time of local Muslims right near the World Trade Center celebrating this horrific event.

Could you provide a link for those Muslims celebrating near the WTC?

I spent years arguing against 9/11 conspiracy theorists on other boards, but I never heard anything like that.

 

[Rob Larrikin]

That must have been some discussion board. I was in contact with several newspaper journalists I knew in Arabia at the time..and others I knew there.. They were horrified.

Some have a problem with the English word "all", especially if English is not their first language. Many Lefties also have a problem with the word because their English teachers abandoned English for political propaganda long ago.

When Anglo Saxons say something happened, it doesn’t necessarily mean it happened in “ALL” cases. An example would be if we were on a boat, fishing. An Anglo might say, “Well, that’s it then. No more fish! We might as well go home.” A Chinese worker on the boat might say, “No, the ocean have plenty more fish…”
“I don’t mean the whole ocean,” the Anglo would say. “I just mean there’s no more fish around here.”
“Ahh…” laughs the Chinese worker, looking confused. “Me no understand, sorry.”

If Trump’s ‘thousands and thousands’ were 3,000, it would represent 0.3% of NY City’s million Muslims. I’m sure you’ll agree that more than 3 Muslims in a thousand celebrated when the Twin Towers went down. As for your friends, they would be among the other 997 Muslims.

Trump said they were in Jersey City, not NY City. But there are a lot of Arabs in Jersey City, too. Would you say that proves there were thousands and thousands cheering in Jersey City?

Looks like Trump can see better from Manhattan than the Chief IN Jersey City. He saw "thousands".

Trump's "thousands and thousands" was not 3,000, was it? He never saw them in Jersey City to begin with, did he?

By far the likeliest explanation is this. Like many of us, Trump saw the video footage of a few dozen Palestinians celebrating in East Jerusalem (strangely, the all-powerful liberals never managed to suppress the record of that one). He also picked up internet scuttle-butt alleging that some Arabs had been partying in Jersey City.

From this, and possibly other garbage, Trump concluded that he had watched as thousands and thousands of Arabs cheered the 9/11 attacks in Jersey City. Maybe he believed it, maybe not; but that's what he said, and he stuck to it.

So the question is: would you prefer the most powerful man in the world to be delusional or a damned liar?

 

[Rob Larrikin]

IMAGINE IF!

Imagine: "Form a mental image or concept of. Suppose or assume."

Feel better now?

There is no "or". He's a delusional liar.

I always feel good when replying to you morons. Unlike you, there's no need for me to concoct my reality.

Great one! Looks like one of your typical RW barrel-strokers.

Thanks for the image. I got a good laugh.

 

[Life is Golden]

Most Muslims were as surprised and horrified as we were.. and its easy enough to search the archives to read up on their responses.

Oh bullshit.

 

[Rob Larrikin]

Starting at 2:30 in that video, it's about the 'Dancing Israelis' who were seen "celebrating" on the New Jersey shore and arrested. At the time it was assumed they were Arabs, but they weren't - they were Israelis.

You provided no proof, and it makes no difference since there are enough examples for anyone with a brain to see this existed. When they add the obvious fact that liberals censor this kind of thing with great relish, they can figure out the truth. If these examples didn’t exist you’d insist there wasn’t ONE example of a Muslim celebrating; such is your rabid hatred of the truth.

This has been pointed out to you on the 'Trump's Lies' thread in the Current Events Forum. You ignored it and continue posting the video. Incidentally, where does that picture come from? It has nothing to do with the video.

Aw, poor little snowflake. Were your feelings hurt? After the Left have produced about a trillion Fake pictures of Trump? Would you like a Band-Aid for your poor bruised ego? Will that help make the nasty image go away? The picture is entirely applicable since it shows Muslims celebrating, and this is how they do it. How do you justify the entirely inapplicable images Fake News throw at Trump constantly?
