Muslim leader decries Trump claim of 9/11 celebrations, challenges him to come
If his story sounds simple, or basic, even entirely too familiar, that’s exactly the point. But Mayor Giuliani (who has been tireless and magnificent in this crisis) rightly warned New Yorker-ers that is would be wrong to take their anger our on the city’s Arab and Muslim residents. He was living in Jersey City, New Jersey – in the shadow of the terror across the Hudson River from lower Manhattan and the city home to Ellis Island.
Muslim leaders gathered at the Islamic Center of Jersey City yesterday to denounce remarks that Republican presidential front-runner Donald Trump has made about the Muslim community, saying his “rhetoric” is responsible for an increase in attacks on American Muslims.
Naqvi remembers the fear of that day.
She was also quoted as saying that the group had come to a conclusion that Mr Trump is, in fact, hoping to build cultures of empowerment in the minority community.
New Jersey governor and fellow Republican presidential candidate Chris Christie told reporters that Trump’s claim that he saw thousands and thousands of people cheering in New Jersey are simply not true. I’m already uncomfortable about coming to the meeting, and I don’t think this a spot that I need to be in.
“We had a number of reports of people celebrating”, Kerik said. “I won’t do the debate unless they pay me $5 million and the money goes to wounded warriors or vets”, he said, reported Fox News. Trump may be a racist, neo-fascist buffoon, but the fact that so many Americans are supporting him says more about the electorate than it does him. He said his staff is looking for clips of television reports from the time that will prove his claim.
“I’ve heard Jersey City”.
“I don’t want to say he’s not telling the truth or not”.
I never expected to see a person seeking to become president of the United States acting like a 10-year-old. They included a fracas last weekend in which a Black Lives Matter protester was punched and kicked at a Trump campaign rally in Alabama, after which Trump responded, “Maybe he should have been roughed up”. The comments are arrogant, he says, and he feels ashamed as both an American and a Republican. “These were kids acting out because they had the time to”.
Guzman cited the report as an example of law enforcement checking every tip in the aftermath of the attacks.
Not everybody. The Rev. Darrell C. Scott of the Ohio-based New Spiritual Revival Center, who organized the meeting, said on CNN Monday night that some of the pastors who had initially agreed “got scared” after receiving negative backlash from their own parishioners and others.
“I want to apologize, because prostitutes get money”. “I’ll have to build relationships with Latino communities with this community with that community, and he recognized and that, and they took him to task for it”.
Unable to pin down an accurate figure, Giuliani said that only about “Ten”.
