(Free Beacon) New York City mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani’s father wrote shortly after 9/11 that there was a “moral equivalence” between the al Qaeda attack and retaliatory U.S. bombing of Afghanistan.
“There is an eerie similarity between the American bombing of Iraq and Afghanistan and the al-Qaeda bombing of embassies in Nairobi and Dar-es-Salaam and of the Twin Towers on 9/11,” Mahmood Mamdani, a professor at Columbia University, wrote in his 2004 book, Good Muslim, Bad Muslim. He added that there is a “moral equivalence between the two.”
“[B]oth testify that, when it comes to the contest for power, the rest of the world exists only as collateral.”
The elder Mamdani also proclaimed in previously unreported writings a “growing common ground between the perpetrators of 9/11 and the official response to it called ‘the war on terror.'”
