Have New Yorkers Forgotten What Happened on 9/11/01?

This is hallowed ground. You don't celebrate Muslims here.

One commenter at another website wondered why Hochul didn't just fly a plane into the Freedom Tower.

Someone should remind her that this year is the 25th anniversary of the September 11 attacks. She may not remember that day, but many of us still do.

Gov. Kathy Hochul’s order to light One World Trade Center green for Muslim American Heritage Month sparks controversy

"Democratic New York Gov. Kathy Hochul sparked outrage Friday after ordering that 16 state landmarks – including Manhattan’s One World Trade Center – be illuminated in green to celebrate “the heritage and culture of Muslim Americans.”
"Hochul’s decision to light up the skyscraper erected on the site where the Twin Towers were knocked down by terrorists during the 9/11 attacks was decried as “tone deaf” and “disgusting” by several social media users.
“The twin towers were unable to be lit green tonight,” Queens Republican Councilwoman Vickie Paladino wrote on X
“It’s disgusting that the Freedom Tower – which stands at the World Trade Center site – is lit in green to celebrate Islam,” fumed Angela Morabito, a spokeswoman for the Defense of Freedom Institute, in a post on X.   
“What ‘contributions of Muslim communities’ are you honoring here, Governor?” she continued. “The time the worst among them killed thousands of innocent Americans?”
