Here we are, 24 years after September 11, 2001, and somehow, we’re the ones being lectured.
Not the people who cheered in the streets of Karachi and Kabul when the towers fell. Not the ideologues who twisted the Quran into a justification for mass murder. No, we’re the ones being scolded by political candidates born abroad, funded by activists who wouldn’t last five minutes under Sharia, and propped up by media outlets that can’t even define “American” anymore without breaking into a sweat.
Let’s just state the uncomfortable truth: The United States, the country that once vaporized the Axis powers in under four years, has spent two full decades being guilt-tripped into silence by the very people it saved, welcomed, and defended. In the weeks after 9/11, when thousands were still buried beneath Ground Zero and families hadn’t even buried their dead, President Bush stood at a podium and told Americans — with the ruins of American exceptionalism smoldering behind him that “Islam is peace.”
That moment right there? That was the fork in the road. And we took the wrong turn.
Instead of halting immigration from terror-producing nations — as any rational country would do after an attack like that, we accelerated it. We brought in millions more. We opened the floodgates and handed out welfare like Halloween candy. We let our enemies waltz through TSA without so much as a raised eyebrow. And we called it compassion.
You know what it actually was? National suicide in slow motion.
And now, we’re watching the final act play out in real time. You’ve got Zohran Mamdani- a self-proclaimed socialist from Uganda, who’s never built a single thing in this country; standing on a debate stage in New York City, explaining why his aunt’s discomfort on the subway is somehow more relevant than the thousands of people who burned alive in Tower 1.
And no one bats an eye.
The story doesn’t check out- let’s be real. His aunt? The one who suddenly remembered how scared she felt in 2001 despite living in Tanzania at the time? A woman who doesn’t even wear a hijab in public photos? But the media eats it up. Not only does no one investigate- they amplify it.
Zohran through tears: “My aunt stopped taking the subway after 9/11 because she did not feel safe in her hijab.”
Yes, she was the real victim of 9/11

Because the narrative matters more than the facts.
The narrative is simple: You, the average American, are the problem. Not the people who preach jihad from pulpits in Dearborn. Not the “refugees” who haven’t worked a day in their lives but somehow own three-row SUVs and collect taxpayer checks for a family of eight. No. You’re the bad guy for asking basic questions. You’re the bigot for wondering whether it was a smart move to quadruple the Muslim population in America after 9/11.
And look, no one’s pretending all Muslims are terrorists. Don’t fall for that straw man. But when the ideology that murdered nearly 3,000 Americans becomes the one thing you’re not allowed to criticize in polite society, it’s clear we’ve entered a twilight zone of inverted morality.
We bent over backward to avoid the appearance of discrimination. We surveilled our own veterans more aggressively than known terror suspects. We watched grandmothers get patted down at the airport while guys named Mohammed breezed through with “random screening.” And in return? No gratitude. No patriotism. No assimilation. Just grievance politics, identity warfare, and an endless list of demands.
Zohran Mamdani doesn’t want a place at the table, he wants to flip the table over and replace it with something unrecognizable. He wants the city that Islamic terrorists tried to obliterate to now elect someone who refuses to condemn those very terrorists by name.
The dream of every Muslim is simply to be treated the same as any other New Yorker.
And yet, for too long, we have been told to ask for less than that, and endure hatred and bigotry in the shadows.

And we’re letting it happen.
We’ve allowed ourselves to be gaslit by people who think the real tragedy of 9/11 was a hijab-wearing woman feeling side-eyed on a subway. We’ve been so paralyzed by guilt and fear of being labeled “intolerant” that we’ve tolerated the intolerable, imported it, subsidized it, and now, elevated it to political office.
Here’s the kicker: These aren’t just isolated stories. These are the logical conclusions of a broken ideology, one that sees America as guilty until proven innocent, and every other culture as superior by default. The Bush-Obama bipartisan cocktail of neoconservative delusion and progressive self-loathing created the conditions for this exact moment.
And now? The next mayor of New York might not just have been born overseas- he may not even speak your language, understand your values, or respect the nation that gave him everything.
It didn’t take a bomb to bring us to our knees. Just a slow, steady campaign of guilt, open borders, and a complete abandonment of cultural confidence. And unless we wake up fast, what happened to New York will spread like wildfire to every major city in the country.
But don’t worry, at least no one’s feelings were hurt at TSA.
