Did the 9/11 hijackers and plotters succeed? Can it finally be said, nearly twenty-two years after they murdered nearly three thousand people in New York and Washington, that they have attained their objectives?
Back in 2003, Osama bin Laden wrote a letter to the American people in which he explained, “The first thing that we are calling you to is Islam.” Twenty years later, that very call will resound from loudspeakers all over the city that was his chief target on Sept. 11, 2001. (All the 9/11-was-an-inside-job types can find bin Laden taking responsibility for the attacks here). New York Mayor Eric Adams on Tuesday announced what Gothamist described as “new NYPD rules” that “will allow mosques in New York City to broadcast the Muslim call to prayer without a permit.”
Adams couched this rule change in language designed to give the impression that he was doing something for people of all religious communities, but ended up making it clear that he was making a special concession to Muslims only: “For too long, there has been confusion about which communities are allowed to amplify their calls to prayer,” he said. “Today, we are cutting red tape and saying clearly, if you are a mosque or house of worship of any kind, you do not have to apply for a permit to amplify your call to Friday prayer.” Well, great, but the only “house of worship of any kind” that has a call to prayer, and particularly one for Friday, is a mosque.
As given to shallow demagoguery as any other Democrat politician, Adams concluded grandly: “You are free to live your faith in New York City.” That’s swell, although the religious freedom of Muslims in New York City wasn’t really restricted before this. Adams appears to be completely indifferent to the fact that there are non-Muslims in New York City as well as Muslims, and there has been controversy over the broadcast of the Islamic call to prayer over loudspeakers for years.
Back in 2016, Gothamist itself reported that neighbors of one city mosque found the call to prayer “too noisy,” and noted that they had “filed 156 noise complaints against Masjid al-Aman.” It’s grand that Muslims are free to live their faith in New York City, Mayor Adams, but do the neighbors of mosques have any right to enjoy a non-intrusive, noise-free environment, at least insofar as such a thing is possible at all in New York City?
The answer is clear now, and it’s “No.” Concerns over the noise generated by mosque loudspeakers have been consigned to the dustbin of “Islamophobia,” and that’s that.
Nevertheless, there are still reasons for concern. The content of what is going to be broadcast is also relevant. The Islamic call to prayer, the adhan, says this in Arabic:
Allah is greater (Allahu akbar) (four times).
I testify that there is no God but Allah (twice).
I testify that Mohammed is the prophet of Allah (twice).
Come to prayer (twice).
Come to success (twice).
Allah is greater (Allahu akbar) (twice).
There is no God but Allah (once).
Or as Osama bin Laden put it, “the first thing that we are calling you to is Islam.”
Is New York City, the site of the largest-ever jihad terror attack on American soil, wise to broadcast the cry “Allahu akbar,” beloved of jihad terrorists the world over? Chief 9/11 hijacker Mohamed Atta wrote a letter to himself before carrying out his jihad mission, in which he included this reminder: “Shout, ‘Allahu Akbar,’ because this strikes fear in the hearts of the non-believers.”
In the same vein, is New York City really wise to broadcast repeatedly a declaration of the superiority of Islam, a faith that directs its adherents to make war against Christians and other non-Muslims and subjugate them as inferiors under the hegemony of believers (cf. Qur’an 9:29)?
Neither Eric Adams nor any other New York officials will answer such questions. They won’t even be asked them. In New York City and all over America today, any such concerns will be dismissed out of hand as “Islamophobic.” And so twenty-two years after 9/11, the call to Islam will resound all over the city that suffered so much on that day. On Sept. 11, 2001, New York City was attacked by people who believed so fervently in that call that they were willing to give their lives for it, in hopes of receiving the promise of paradise that the Qur’an makes to those who “kill and are killed” for Allah (9:111).
Osama bin Laden, had he lived to see this day, would be cheering.
The “religion of peace” tried to get that bullshit call to prayer put on loudspeakers in Dearborn, Michigan awhile back.
Bush41 thought it his mission to dump islamists there after the 1st Gulf War to spare them Sadam’s wrath. (Doubt that George H. W. considered dumping them in Kennebunkport, Maine.)
Clinton, Bush43, B. Hussein, and puppet *Biden all made sure to import more of the religion responsible for 9/11 to our soil. They just made sure Martha’s Vineyard, Kennebunkport, Chappaqua, & any other elitists enclave weren’t as inclusive.
Islam attacks America, and those damned fools thought bringing in more islam would be a great presidential response.
I suspect that residents of Dearborn will be subjected to that screeching crap over the loudspeakers soon.
Islam has been waging jihad on all nonbelievers for 1500 years. Satan spoke to,Mohammed because he was fearful of the rise of Christianity since the Resurrection. Only world domination would do. They like to put their Mosques in places they influence as symbols of their superiority’
The very call to prayer declares it so. And in NY city, the place of a triumphant attack on infidels, to have calls to prayer loudspeakers endorsed by those same naive infidels? It will be the call heard round the world..
May the Ghosts of all the Victims of 9/11 haunt and Curse all those involved in this Travesty may their Loudspeaker’s short Circuit and blow their entire grid and ruin it all
If you live anywhere they play the muslim’s call to terror, its English translation is like this…..
Our moon-god has a first name,
it’s a-l-l-a-h.
Our moon-god has no second name,
it’s A-L-L-A-H.
Oh we kill kafir most every-day,
and if you ask to whom we prayyyyyyyyyyyyyyy……..
To kill kafir is a-o-k,
says a-l-l-a-h, oy vey.
ALLAHU’S SNACKBAR!!!!!
Funny one!
Boy, do I hate that cult.
Eric Adams comes out of the closet for being a muslim, or their slave.
I doubt he is a Muslim but he is a creature of the Left’s identity politics project. Under that, any member “victim” group is to have its interests advanced and any criticism of it suppressed by all the other members of the “coalition.” Just a variation on the French Left’s dictum, “Pas des enemies au gauche.””
You give Adams too much credit.
Eric Adams doesn’t believe in anything except dressing up in fancy suits and going to the disco almost every night.
He’s a black John Travolta/Vinnie Barbarino airhead that’s all.
You voted for him. You get what you deserve.
I did not vote for him. He is terrified now of Curtis Sliwa. “One Term Adams”.
“Welcome Back Kotter.” I used to watch that show when I was a kid. It was funny. Gabe Kaplan would always tell a funny joke and grin at the end of the episode and “Principle Woodman” was funny as F. He always had good insults for the retarded students. The “Sweat-hogs.”
Up your nose with a rubber hose and in your ear with a can of beer!
Very mature, but it’s what I’ve come to expect from a ‘tard like you.
He’s their bald butt boy. He spreads his cheeks for those monkeys.
That is just vulgar.
It’s a lot less vulgar than having their call to evil blared out at top volume over your home.
In west Orange NJ at Eagle Rock Reservation there is a huge area with a view of the Mahattan skyline and a giant 9/11 memorial. People of every strip use the park but last 9/11 I went with a friend and there were hundreds of Muslims there. I’ve never seen so many Muslims in my life. They were all picnicking.

Enjoying what they wrought.
Ring the church bells loud and often, whenever the call to prayer is sounded. Fight back.
Vote the clown mayor out next year
When I was a small child, I spent Labor Dsy with my familyat a hotel in Vermomt. I DEFINITELY remember a church carillon, and I THINK it sounded 24 hours a day. What iif the Moslems say “If Christiams. can ring church bells, Moslems can sound the call to prayer?” I remember being on the Mount of Olives, in the twilight, and hearing the call to prayer from the Old City. It is a peaceful. spiritual memory.
So you’re a moslem stooge?
How nice that you have a “peaceful, spiritual memory” of the call to prayer on the Mount of Olives at twilight. But how irrelevant that a Manhattanite should embrace the Moslem call to prayer as peaceful. What comes next?
A small effort, perhaps, but this for me is the final nail in the coffin of any future visits to NYC. It’s a shame, I will miss the Metropolitan Museum of Art, and others. Maybe just stop all tourism to these increasingly unrecognizable and dispiriting, dangerous places. Too bad for folks who live there.
Who the F would want to live there? Even Greeny left for greener CA pastures. You can raise kids in CA but it’s child abuse to have them in NYC. What a shit-hole and every Mayor since Giuliani has been an incompetent piece of shit, especially Boogie Adams.
How old are you? Anyone ovrr 17 should know that there’s a time amd place for everything and Imternet postings are not the place for that kind of language
Let’s see how much outrage New Yorkers can muster up over this. I’m going to guess it won’t be much. This is infamy to the 9/11 families and all Americans in fact. It makes me sick.
Drown out the call with hundreds of loudspeakers reciting The Lord’s Prayer
Or the Hebrew Shema!
Hey, since Friday is open mic, it’s a perfect time to send Jews through the streets singing the welcome song for the Shabbat, Lecha Dodi.
Both Chabad and the Breslavers would jump at the chance!
Or better yet, Def Leoppard!
“When The Wall fell, we cheered, they cried. When the Twin’s fell, we cried, they cheered!”
Suspicions is that they wanted the Twin’s to fall like trees causing millions of deaths blocks away from Ground Zero.
OUR ENEMY WITHIN and foreign enemies were dancing in the streets.
I DON’T RECALL Obama ever having a grand opening of World One Trade Center. WHY? Because he didn’t want to criticize his Muslim Brothers!
IMAGINE that John Brennan, former CIA HEAD, was also a Communist and a Muslim who was then in charge of conducting world-wide operations against Communists and Muslims. HE, AND OBAMA, were instead aiding his Communist Comrades and Muslim Brothers. LOOK AT TODAY’S RISE AND CONTROL BY BOTH! We kneel in front of both of them as they BLACKMAIL us!
Some are kneeling.
Personally, I intend to die on my feet.
WHAT WOULD AMERICANS THINK IF THEY KNEW THE 9/11 INVADING SAUDIS WERE FROM THE SAME DICTATORSHIP THAT BUILT THE BUSH PRESIDENTIAL LIBRARY, THE CLINTON PRESIDENTIAL LIBRARY AND FAMILY FOUNDATION SLUSH FUND AND THE OBAMA, SO CALLED, PRESIDENTIAL LIBRARY aka, THE FAT MINARET???
WE ALL RECALL WHEN OBAMA, AS PRESIDENT, BENT OVER TO THE FEET OF THE SAUDIS DICTATOR TO KISS THE HEM OF HIS MUSLIM FROCK.
why would a saudi billionaire pay for obomb’s education at harvard? the answer may be in what obomb did for the saudis as president
Although the bill nowhere names Saudi Arabia, the Saudi government has threatened massive retaliation, including by moving $750 billion in assets out of the country before they can be seized in American legal proceedings. This reaction alone confirms the monarchy’s guilt.
Congress overrides Obama veto of bill allowing 9/11 lawsuits
By Tom Carter
On Wednesday, the US Congress overturned President Obama’s veto of legislation that would permit victims of the September 11, 2001 attacks and their families to sue Saudi Arabia. Declassified documents released this year confirm the involvement of Saudi intelligence agents in the funding, organization, and planning of the attacks—facts which were covered up for years by the Bush and Obama administrations.
It’s bad enough that Mayor Adams lets criminals assault and rob and beat down citizens with impunity and no bail but now citizens are forced to listed to the Muslim call to prayer. It’s disgusting beyond words…..
I don’t understand this. Any rational person looking at Islamic history can see that any country with a well-represented Islamic minority experiences violence against its non-Islamic population. France is the most recent example. If the mayor thinks he’s appeasing them by allowing this, he and his liberal comrads are in for a very rude awakening.
Osama bin Laden surely cheered when Bush43 declared islam a religion of peace just a week after the 9/11/2001.
Our surrender took place already on 9/12/2001 when nothing happened to Mecca and Medina, and nothing happened to muslims in the US.
I wish Churches would wake up and ring their church bells at the same time they yell out for their followers to do their daily curses!!!
New Yorkers, in the name of all that is decent and holy, PLEASE do not let this happen…..
They really think t hat by blowing up others with bomb strapped to them they’ll go to Paradise with 1000 Virgins and instead end up in that place of Fire and Brimstone burning in a Lake of Fire
In Birmingham England a few years ago an old smelly muslim leader complained that the Church Bells that rang every Sunday morning was disturbing his sleep and that.. ”The English people should be more tolerant of other peoples religion as England is now a multicultural country”…and then started screaming allo snackbar..
We didn’t listen to Enoch Powell and now this is what the British people have to accept…
islam is a cancer , it starts off rather innocuous then it will take over until it has killed its host . america is now a failed nation . the trojan horse of islam is inside the gates and it is now too late for the death of america to be reversed . as a side , all the churches need to do is chime their bells at the same time in opposition . good for the islamic goose ,good for the christian gander . i digress , its not going to happen .
