American Muslims Celebrating 9/11 - UPDATED AT BOTTOM OF POST

MORE UPDATES HAVE BEEN ADDED AND THE POST HAS BEEN BUMPED TO THE TOP FOR NOW

You think Trump lied?

WCBS-TV Reported Muslims in Jersey City Held Pre-Planned 9/11 Celebration on Rooftop



From Kristinn Taylor:
WCBS-TV Reported Muslims in Jersey City Held Pre-Planned 9/11 Celebration on Rooftop 
Video from a September 16, 2001 news broadcast by New York City CBS affiliate WCBS-TV features long-term reporter Pablo Guzman talking about the federal government investigating a Jersey City apartment building over reports residents held a pre-planned rooftop celebration of the 9/11 attacks with binoculars and a model of the Twin Towers targeted by al Qaeda that day. 
The video was posted to YouTube on Monday by “Citizen Video”. (Note: the date of the broadcast is confirmed by the report of President Bush speaking to the nation after returning from Camp David, as also reported by CNN.) September 11 attack view Jersey City 
The 3:04 video of the newscast was filmed by a hand-held recorder pointed at a television screen showing the broadcast and is therefore a little shaky at times. Leading Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump has come under relentless attack for his claim that he saw “thousands” of Muslims in New Jersey celebrating the 9/11 attacks. 
The media has taken extraordinary steps to deny that any celebrations at all took place, even though contemporaneous reports like this exist. Numerous people who lived and worked in northern New Jersey on September 11, 2001 have spoken out to state that they too witnessed Muslims publicly celebrating the attack. 
However in that era cellphone videos did not exist hence no videos of the celebrations have surface as of now. This report by WCBS mentions only a small number were reported seen celebrating. 
However the apartment building in Jersey City was notorious for being the home of the Muslims who tried to take down the World Trade Center towers in 1993 with a truck bomb. 
The report begins with Guzman talking about two Muslim men from Jersey City having been arrested on an Amtrak train in Texas after 9/11 and about investigators searching their apartment building in Jersey City on September 15. 
Guzman follows with the information about the ‘celebration’ at a nearby apartment building. 
“…There’s another apartment building (in Jersey City), one that an investigator told me, quote “is swarming with suspects.” 
Suspects whom I’m told were cheering on the roof when they saw the planes slam into the Trade Center. 
“Now police were called to the building by other neighbors and found eight men celebrating–six of them tenants in the building. The FBI and other terrorist task force agencies that arrived and the older investigators on the task force recall that they had been to this building before–eight years ago when the first World Trade Center attack led them to Sheikh Omar Abdel Rahman, whose Jersey City mosques lies between the two buildings getting attention today. 
“And the older investigators remembered that suspects who allegedly got convicted for the first Trade Center case– followers of Sheikh Rahman –lived in the building where the same eight men were celebrating the destruction that they saw from the roof. 
“Calling this a ‘hot address’ the task force investigators ordered everyone detained. They saw something else: a model of the Trade Center on the roof along with sets of binoculars. The kind of model used by an architect or engineer for a presentation an investigator told me. 
“They knew,” he said, “that the planes were going to hit and they wanted a ringside seat.” 
“Remember part of what motivates Osama bin Laden against the United States and his cult followers is that the United States put Sheikh Rahman in jail. Bin Laden has said that for that the U.S. must pay.” (Anchor interjection not transcribed.) … 
”The first investigators on the scene, the first police, and even the first FBI agents didn’t realize the scope of what happened. They thought maybe these guys put up a cheering fireworks display. When the other investigators saw the model, saw the binoculars and remembered that address and what it really meant to the first Trade Center bombing that’s when that’s when they said, ‘we’ve got to grab everybody.'” 
The WCBS report is similar to a report by The Washington Post from September 18, 2001. … 
”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.”









"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

Rudy Giuliani on 9/11 celebrations ff 1:07 "...and we did have some celebrating, that is true. We had pockets of celebrations, some in Queens, some in Brooklyn, - 10, 12, 30, 40 ...we had one situation in which we had a candy store owned by a muslim family was celebrating that day, right near a housing development. Kids in the housing came in and beat them up. Both facts were corroborated as being true. They were celebrating that the towers had come down and some of the kids in the housing development got really upset about it and they came in and did a pretty good job of beating them up."



When linguist Sibel Dinez Edmonds showed up for her first day of work at the FBI, a week after the 9-11 attacks, she expected to find a somber atmosphere. Instead, she was offered cookies filled with dates from party bowls set out in the room where other Middle Eastern linguists with top-secret security clearance translate terror-related communications. 
She knew the dessert is customarily served in the Middle East at weddings, births and other celebrations, and asked what the happy occasion was. To her shock, she was told the Arab linguists were celebrating the terrorist attacks on America, as if they were some joyous event. 
Right in front of her supervisor, one translator cheered: 
"It's about time they got a taste of what they've been giving the Middle East."
Screen cap shows image of Obama but only need to watch first few seconds to see Chinese broadcast admitting Even some Chinese celebrated 9/11

-------

Donald Trump is telling the truth about Muslims celebrating in New Jersey on September 11, 2001. I drove with family members though Paterson, N.J. that morning, after the planes hit. 
It’s not the kind of thing you forget. 
We witnessed people in traditional Muslim garb dancing, jumping, shouting and celebrating like their team had won the Super Bowl, just as Trump said. 
“I watched when the World Trade Center came tumbling down,” Trump said Saturday. 
“And I watched in Jersey City, N.J., where thousands and thousands of people were cheering as that building was coming down. Thousands of people were cheering.” 
Trump has refused to back off of those comments. He told ABC’s George Stephanopoulos Sunday, “it did happen. I saw it.” 
Media outlets and politicians have been quick to call the Republican presidential front-runner a liar but the fact is it happened just like he said. 
I didn’t see thousands of Muslims celebrating but I absolutely saw a pocket, perhaps 100, jumping for joy at the sight of the smoke rising from where the Twin Towers used to be. 
The funny part of the media-made controversy is that until Trump recalled his experience on that day, these events were a commonly accepted fact by Jerseyans. 
Others in N.J. have spoken about witnessing these events. Suddenly we are all being called liars in order for Trump-haters to cast aspersions on him. 
Well, I defy anyone in the media to call me a liar to my face.




Bonus:

Three men who celebrated as the Twin Towers crumbled are facing deportation, The Post has learned.

The men, described as illegal immigrants from the Middle East, were arrested Tuesday afternoon in a white Chevy van near the Meadowlands based on a tip from witnesses who saw them "cheering" and "jumping up and down" in Liberty State Park after the attack, a source said.

Witnesses took the plate number and the FBI sent out an alert to area cops, reading:

"Vehicle possibly related to New York terrorist attack . . . Three individuals with van were seen celebrating after initial impact and subsequent explosion."

Port Authority cops nabbed the three as they drove along Route 3 in East Rutherford in the van, which had the words "Urban Moving Systems" painted on it.

UPDATE

FWIW, Curtis Sliwa (NYC Guardian Angels)and radio host beggers belief by retracting his video recorded comments of 9/11 celebrations and insisting the video was edited because he can only attest to a handful of celebrations. (insert eye roll here)

Strongly advise many copies of these reports be made and kept to resurrect as the msm continues to scrub history to support their false narrative...Here's another:

CBS also reported celebrations in Jersey City reported on "6th night" after 9/11 "as work continued at that crater and all that destruction" 


NBC, Oct. 12th, A Chilling Tale On Oct. 11, Jeffrey Scott Shapiro, an aggressive young reporter for The New York Journal News of Westchester County, N.Y., published an article that tracked the story to New Utrecht High School in Brooklyn, N.Y. Shapiro identified a teacher who witnessed a freshman in her class saying the week prior to the World Trade Center attacks: “Do you see those two buildings? They won’t be standing there next week.” 

And another albeit with strange formatting - featuring the voice of Bernie Kerik (police commissioner at the time)- note, video/audio not in sync and does not show actual interviews...
"there were celebrations in Brooklyn, around Atlantic Avenue. ...in Queens, Paterson NJ, I think Jersey City as well."
ff 3:30 to hear Kerik continue:
"when you pick the domestic stuff that was going on and tie it into the national coverage, there were tens of thousands of people around the world celebrating and some of them were in NY and NJ."

And let's not forget the first sermon of 9/11 given by the Rev. Jeremiah Wright ff 2:10 mark which illustrates an entire church celebrating his infamous 'chickens coming home to roost' sermon.

DID NEW JERSEY MUSLIMS CELEBRATE 911?


New Jersey radio station 101.5 quotes some of these accounts here.

A sampling:
Tom Penicaro: “I worked for PSEG in Clifton on the Paterson boarder and I witnessed it firsthand. They were celebrating in the streets cheering and stomping on the flag. I am a Marine and I remember very very clearly because I was so pissed I wanted to engage them with a bat I had in my van.”

William Hugelmeyer: “I was working in the jail when the attacks occurred. Once it was clear it was a terrorist attack, we had inmates celebrating. This instantly caused a lockdown. As you could imagine, many other inmates and officers didn’t share their jubilation.”

John Pezzino: “They were in the streets banging on the cars trying to drive through the crowd in the street. The Muslims were shouting death to Americans and Allah is great other crap I didn’t understand. We were amused until a car with 3 young women mistakenly turned on to main st. The muslims were banging on their windows and screaming, thats when we came out of our car and pushed the muslims off their car helped them back out and get back to the Parkway.”

Walter Emiliantsev: “I lived in NJ at the time on Demott Ave., Clifton! When I tried to go to Paterson to my brother in laws shop, I usually took Main Ave. There were so many people dancing on Main, I couldn’t get through! I KNOW what I saw!”

Palestinians make up a large percentage of Paterson’s Muslim population, so much so that the neighborhood where the 9-11 celebration is alleged to have taken place is sometimes nicknamed “Little Ramallah.” Local businesses are often named for Palestinian landmarks, for example the Al-Quds restaurant, Al-Quds Halal meat and the Al-Quds bakery.

[…]

Finally, we know that six of the 9-11 hijackers lived in Paterson, NJ, and they used the computers of a nearby campus in planning their attacks.”

Here in New York, it was easy to get angry listening to Egyptians, Palestinians and the Arabs of nearby Paterson, N.J., celebrate as they received word of the murderous attack in New York and Washington. 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. Attacks on Arab-Americans in Paterson or elsewhere are utterly indefensible.

They got on the roof of the building to look across. They knew what was going to happen. They were waiting for it to happen and when it happened, they celebrated. They jumped for joy to see this happen. This was a great triumph. It's inconceivable to you, but David, this is what we as a country have to understand. We're not dealing with the kind of thing we dealt with in any war we've fought before because we've never dealt with these kinds of hateful, to the core, evil people."

(I beg to differ. The US dealt with this evil and won the Barbary wars and gained free access to trade across the Mediterranean as a result.Unfortunately, due to the narrative "islam is a religion of peace" falsehood, such trade is in jeopardy yet again, today).

Two things here that are amazing.

1) that people think Trump is lying. I even vividly remember watching on tv Muslims cheering and celebrating in the US.
2) that it is now almost impossible to find any of those videos. Government and media have done a fine job scrubbing them off the internet.

Wait, when did Sliwa retract?

Pastorius said...

I looked up that info about Sliwa. NOt only did Sliwa back off, so did that young Hispanic woman, Emily Acevedo. She now says the young men were acting as they would "on any other hot summer night".

But it was not a "hot summer night". It was a Tuesday morning.

Shit! The networks refuse to even show the twin tower attack videos. They have scrubbed it all. Anything that would embarrass Muslims or Obama (but I repeat myself) has gone down the memory hole. It all very Orwell don't you think?

Celebrating...then some profited from it:
NYT, 12/15/2003

At a "weekend flea market at Avenue A and 11th Street in the East Village" a booth displayed rugs, in a style usually reserved for depicting landscapes or abstract tribal patterns. Of the rugs on display, one "showed a crudely rendered interpretation of the Sept. 11, 2001, attack on the World Trade Center.
Greg Masters, 52, a writer who lives on East 12th Street, said: ''I can't tell if these rugs are celebrating the attacks or mourning them. It's ambiguous. It seems like it's commoditizing the event. Is this some new 9/11 kitsch?''

At $150 apiece, the 9/11 rugs are Mr. Sudeith's least expensive. Orders from around the world (as well as angry e-mail messages) have been numerous on his Web site, www.warrug.com. Still, he said, he has yet to sell a 9/11 rug on the streets of New York. "

Nameless Cynic said...

Since you obviously love a conspiracy, think about this: why would somebody have been filming their TV showing the news with a hand-held camera, two weeks after 9/11?

This wasn't digital, it was magnetic tape - you paid for those. And there was no "breaking news" going on at that point.

But a hand-held non-digital camera filming a non-digital TV screen is much easier to fake.

Just a thought.
