Families of 9\/11 victims are urging organizers to bar New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani from attending this year’s 25th anniversary remembrance ceremony in Lower Manhattan.<\/p>\n

Several families of 9\/11 victims published a petition urging the National September 11 Memorial & Museum, which organizes the annual remembrance, to reconsider inviting Mayor Zohran Mamdani, citing a laundry list of criticisms of the Uganda-born socialist Democrat.<\/p>\n

“Concerns have been raised about Mr. Mamdani\u2019s public positions, associations, and responses to rhetoric that many perceive as hostile to these shared values,” a Change.org<\/a> petition organized by several victims’ families states.<\/p>\n

“Given these concerns, we respectfully ask that the organizers carefully consider whether Mr. Mamdani\u2019s participation would align with the intention of the ceremony and the expectations of the families most directly affected by the tragedy.”<\/p>\n

FIREFIGHTER BROTHER OF 9\/11 VICTIM INCENSED BY ‘RADICAL’ MUSLIMS WINNING KEY DEM PRIMARIES<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

Concerns listed include a “perceived reluctance” by Mamdani to unequivocally condemn phrases like “globalize the intifada” \u2014 a slogan associated with calls for the eradication of Jews.<\/p>\n

They also expressed concern over Mamdani\u2019s alleged support for or association with individuals either dismissive of American institutions or insufficiently critical of extremist ideologies.<\/p>\n

A 2025 release by Rep. Chip Roy<\/a>, R-Texas, outlined one such association with a radical Bed-Stuy imam who hosted the Blind Sheikh, mastermind of the 1993 World Trade Center bombing, and has made controversial statements about jihad.<\/p>\n

Siraj Wahhaj, born Jeffrey Kearse, hosted Mamdani at his At-Taqwa mosque during the campaign and received criticism at the time from former FBI agents for failing to condemn the cleric<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The victims\u2019 families also called out Mamdani\u2019s father, Columbia government professor Mahmood Mamdani, whom they cite as authoring a book shortly after the attacks in which he argued suicide bombers should be “understood as a feature of modern political violence rather than stigmatized as a mark of barbarism.”<\/p>\n

They wrote that Professor Mamdani\u2019s book \u2013 “Good Muslim, Bad Muslim: America, the Cold War, and the Roots of Terror” \u2013 also included a passage arguing a moral equivalency between the United States and Al Qaeda.<\/p>\n

When the passage was resurfaced in 2025, prominent New York billionaire Bill Ackman quipped on X<\/a> that the “apple doesn\u2019t fall far from the tree.”<\/p>\n

Fox News Digital reached out to both Mamdanis for comment.<\/p>\n

While the mayor did not immediately return a request for comment, he told a reporter at an unrelated press conference Monday that he still plans to attend.<\/p>\n

“I will proudly honor families the survivors the first resp forever impacted by that horrific terror attack by standing alongside them at this year\u2019s 9\/11 commemoration \u2014 reaffirming that we will never forget the solemn day…,” he said.<\/p>\n

Victims\u2019 families also excoriated the mayor for supporting and standing with socialist candidates they said hold radically anti-American views, including the DSA-endorsed woman who defeated left-wing Rep. Adriano Espaillat<\/a> in Washington Heights.<\/p>\n

The petition noted Darializa Chevalier once tweeted that she nonchalantly wiped soiled hands on an American flag after running out of napkins.<\/p>\n

“For 9\/11 families, this is not simply a public ceremony\u2014it is a deeply personal day of mourning. The presence of individuals whose words or associations are perceived as conflicting with the solemn purpose of the event risks detracting from that focus and causing additional pain,” the consortium wrote.<\/p>\n

One organizer told the New York Post<\/a> that mourning dignitaries from both parties will be welcomed, but emphasized they have all been involved in the healing process for years, citing former mayors Rudolph Giuliani and Michael Bloomberg, former Sen. Hillary Clinton, D-N.Y., and City Council Speaker<\/span> Julie Menin, D-Upper East Side.<\/p>\n

The memorial museum said it has “intentionally worked to keep the commemoration free of politics<\/a> because remembering those we lost on 9\/11 should never be a partisan issue,” according to a statement to the Post from staffer Julie Wood.<\/p>\n

The petition comes amid elevated rhetoric directed at Mamdani<\/a> as he prepares to take office before his first September 11 commemoration as mayor, as Rep. Randy Fine, R-Fla., and radio host Sidney Rosenberg both recently declared the mayor a “terrorist.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
