If you are a bigot, it might not surprise you.

Regarding Trump, his claim that "thousands and thousands" celebrated in Jersey City is a damnable lie. That doesn't surprise me.

I don't think the average Muslim was thrilled the world trade center buildings went down, but we can't be naive. The planning of the first world trade center attack happened in JC.

Coworker of mine during 9/11 lived in Paterson. She say a lot of celebration going on. Per her account, the police came into the area and told the residents to quit it.

When I moved to PH from NYC, I was told by old timers or those that's been living in PH for years before 9/11 they have seen one of the buildings a bunch of muslim men on the roof celebrating when the towers were hit. I suspect the same group of old timers in downtown told Trump when he chose to develop his real estate here. People do talk.

I know people on Westside said the same thing, there's a huge mosque in and around Kennedy to Harrison (ave?) or st. said the same thing about the muslims living there.

I also know people living up the Hill said the same thing. So you can say about Trump all you want but I've heard the same from the residence who lived from the Hill to Westside down to PH collaborated with what Trump said.

This morning Trump sort of took Jersey City out of the mix when confronted by Stephanopoulos about his Jersey City comment. I guess he is now pinning it on Paterson.

"There were people that were cheering on the other side of New Jersey where you have large Arab populations,? he told George Stephanopoulos today on ABC?s ?This Week.? "They were cheering as the World Trade Center came down. I know it might be not politically correct for you to talk about it, but there were people cheering as that building came down -- as those buildings came down, and that tells you something. It was well covered at the time."

PS ? the only thing that was odd on 9/11 were the so called ?dancing Israelis? (google it)
