Trump must apologize to Muslim Americans, Jersey City | Editorial
Jersey Journal Editorial ^ | November 23, 2015

Posted on 11/23/2015 3:42:47 PM PST by SMGFan

Donald Trump must apologize to Muslim Americans and to Jersey City for his untrue, divisive and reprehensible comments perpetuating an old rumor we thought had rightly died.

By repeating – and indeed embellishing – this hateful rumor, Trump once again ratchets up the ugliness in the current political climate.

Thousands and thousands of people in Jersey City did not cheer the destruction of the World Trade Center on Sept. 11, 2001. Period. End of story. There is no need to continue to "fact check'' his words.

The truth is that Trump's statements are factually, ethically and morally wrong. Those of us who were really there that day and in the days that followed know that Jersey City suffered tremendous loss, mourned and stepped up to help.

“must apologize”

Anyone else getting sick and tired of all the demands for apologies for every little thing? Who’s the haters, huh?

Jersey Journal is literally around the corner, on the same block, as the mosque where the first WTC bombers ‘worshipped’.

How many people read Trump’s tweets? But the media AMPLIFIES THEM 100-fold.

Only problem (for them) is that AMERICANS love what he’s saying.

"In Jersey City, within hours of two jetliners' plowing into the World Trade Center, law enforcement authorities detained and questioned a number of people who were allegedly seen celebrating the attacks and holding tailgate-style parties on rooftops while they watched the devastation on the other side of the river."

--Washington Post, September 18, 2001

They are right we should apologize to the 2 to 5 secular / cultural Muslims who are Americans first and Muslim second, the rest can go pound sand.

Barack Obama’s former muslim mentor, Jeremiah Wright, boasted that America’s chickens had come home to roost (they deserved it).

Don’t doubt they did in NJ. I know they did in Edmonton! A TV News man was interviewing the imam of a mosque in Edmonton, the oldest in Canada. The imam was ‘disappointed and ‘shocked’ that anyone would do that. A hijab-wearing woman came out of the mosque dancing, with a big smile on her face. The imam gave her a dirty look and suddenly, her face sank and she started weeping.

A round of taqiyya for everyone!

"Trump got it wrong. There WERE Muslims celebrating but it was in the West bank; NOT in NJ. Trump just looked foolish when he made that statement. If there really were celebrations in NJ, there would have been at least a video or a picture. And, BTW, that 9-18-01 Washington Post article that people love to use as "proof" was later shown to be unsubstantiated."

Trump has gone all Brian Williams.

He has confused things in his head, but rather than take the decent way out he's doubling down, turning an honest mistake into an outright lie.

This is not a man we can allow to get anywhere near the Oval Office.
