New Yorkers know better than most the devastation caused by jihadist
terrorism. That’s why it’s unimaginable that a man who wants to be New York
City’s next mayor would proudly pose with a known terrorist sympathizer.
Will Tom Suozzi, Laura Gillen, and Josh Riley
speak up?
Zohran Mamdani posted a photo laughing arm-in-arm with Imam
Siraj Wahhaj, an unindicted co-conspirator of the
1993 World Trade Center bombing that killed six New Yorkers and who
has urged “jihad” upon New York City. Mamdani praised Wahhaj as “one
of the nation’s foremost Muslim leaders and
a pillar of the Bed-Stuy community.”
Prosecutors exposed Wahhaj’s connections to Sheikh
Omar Abdel Rahman, the convicted mastermind of the World Trade Center plot.
Wahhaj also raised money for the defense of El Sayyid Nosair, who
assassinated Rabbi Meir Kahane in 1990 and was convicted in connection with
the 1993 bombing.
In 2011, Wahhaj urged donations for the legal defense of “Lady Al Qaeda,” a Pakistani
neuroscientist who tried to kill U.S. troops in Afghanistan.
“The silence among New York Democrats is
deafening. The only acceptable reaction to Mamdani’s attempt to normalize
this extremist terrorist sympathizer should be outrage.”
