Mamdani: Only Islamophobes Object To Me Campaigning with a WTC Bombing Co-Conspirator

“If only Muslims were clever politically, they could take over the United States”
Rising outrage by families of 9/11 victims and FBI agents involved in the original World Trade Center bombing investigation, along with attacks from political rivals and questions from the one or two media outlets not in the tank for his campaign, forced Zohran Mamdani to answer why he had campaigned at the Al-Taqwa Mosque, which had been under NYPD surveillance, and tweeted a photo of himself with Imam Siraj Wahhaj, an unindicted coconspirator in the World Trade Center bombing.
And Mamdani’s response was accusing critics of ‘Islamophobia’.
“The same imam met with Mayor Bloomberg, met with Mayor De Blasio, campaigned alongside Eric Adams, and the only time it became an issue of national attention was when I met with him,” Mamdani told reporters. “That’s because of the fact of my faith.”
There was outrage when Bloomberg met with Wahhaj followed by an apology. And Bloomberg’s claim that he didn’t know who Wahhaj was.
