Mamdani backs hardline Muslim who blames 'white Americans' for 9/11
Aber Kawas, a Palestinian-American activist who only moved to the district last year, has received Mamdani's backing in her fight to take his seat in a special election.

Zohran Mamdani has backed a controversial choice for his replacement in the New York State Assembly who once said 'white supremacy' was to blame for the attacks on September 11, 2001.
Aber Kawas, a Palestinian-American activist who only moved to the district last year, has received Mamdani's backing in her fight to take his seat in the state's 36th district in a special election, The New York Daily News reported.
The mayor-elect endorsement has gained the 34-year-old newfound attention on some of her more extreme opinions, including one dug up from an Asian American Writers' Workshop in 2017.
In it, Kawas - who holds a Master's in Islamic Liberation Theology from a university in South Africa, connects the attacks on 9/11 to the 'American system'.
'The system of capitalism and racism and white supremacy and Islamophobia have all been used to colonize lands, to take resources from other people, so this is a long trajectory and we're just seeing the manifestations of that continuation with 9/11,' she said.
Kawas added that 'a lot of times when people are asking us to respond about, you know, an attack when if you look back historically, a lot of come from lands that were colonized and where wars were being waged.'
'The idea that we have to apologize for a terror attack that a couple people did and then there is no apology for genocides or slavery is something that I find reprehensible,' she finished.
Mamdani has positioned himself as a firebrand leftist - both he and Kawas are members of the Democratic Socialists of America - with his own anti-Israel
Comment:
This is not new.
The Left Wingers already blamed America for the 9/11 mass murder hate crime committed by Muslims back in 2001.
Kawas is specifically blaming White people.
She is using far left hate trope "colonizers"
That is very ironic because the Muslims are colonizing Europe and America and Canada today.
She also mentioned slavery of which the Muslims are still practicing in Africa.
