Most are calling Zohran Mamdani’s actions at a 9/11 ceremony a “snafu” or a meaningless gesture with no significance. They clearly do not understand Islam or the process of military, cultural, and political jihad.
He did not drop the souvenir. He did not get confused about the guest list. New York City’s Mayor signed a pair of September 11 executive orders at City Hall on Friday, then whispered to Police Commissioner Jessica Tisch, “Can you pass this?”
Tisch handed the ceremonial pen to chief counsel Ramzi Kassem. Kassem, who had slipped into the Blue Room late, took it with a smirk and left almost as fast as he arrived.
That is not a clerical accident. That is a staged insult to the dead, delivered one week before the 25th anniversary of the massacre that tore this city open. More importantly, it’s a declaration of conquest, less than 25-years since the attacks, as a “secret” Islamist camouflaged by Marxism now runs the very city they hit hardest.
Fox News and the New York Post both documented the handoff. City Hall’s excuse only makes it worse. Officials told the Post that Kassem and his team drafted both orders as part of his job. So the man who wrote the city’s official remembrance paper was also the man chosen to keep the relic. The police commissioner was reduced to a courier.
The victims were reduced to a backdrop.
