Dude was literally a kid when it happened why is CBS making it seem like he had something to do with it. This is so Islamophobic it’s crazy although I unfortunately am not surprised.

Crazy thing is that Hasan isn’t even wrong (albeit he phrased it very poorly). 9/11 was a direct result of American intervention in the Middle East for years. That doesn’t make it justified, but it does explain it I don’t even watch the guy, but it took me 2 minutes of research to find the full context and understand the broader point he was making. Not even 2 minutes, probably less

Also, they lowkey revealed it in their post. TWENTY FIVE YEARS AGO, and the people who caused it are still sitting in Guantanamo and can’t be taken to court be we tortured them so bad all admission are not legally allowed. Plus the 20 year war? Have Muslims not paid enough?

I wanted to at least give them the benefit of the doubt cause like certainly Islamophobia spiked after 9/11 and is still super common so maybe they were trying to contextualize it. But nah let’s just write an article about this notable Muslim guy’s opinions on 9/11 where literally none of them are saying anything a reasonable person should find offensive and also make it about Hasan because they’ve been seen together and he’s also like vaguely associated with Islam. What are we doing man

The only reason it was bad to torture those guys is they weren't actually the main actors of 9/11 (Mossad)

Unfortunately that seems to be the plan of attack. Go after all Muslim candidates on the left with 2001 Islamophobia & it while the right is deploying it the left is leaning into it instead of fighting it

Dems aren’t the left, but yes they are just as culpable. These fucking centrists would rather your tax money all goes to Israel instead of helping you, and will sink to the lowest of lows to keep antizionists from entering the party and steering the ship in an actual left direction

Like the concept of blowback is literally something our intelligence agencies recognize and study. The idea 9/11 was an isolated incident is not even remotely controversial in their circles. Hell, I think if you explained this to an average American, bad as our education system is, they’d be able to grasp it

I mean that was 2019 & I pretty sure he apologized for it. So the fact that they keep spamming it shows that they have absolutely nothing

Again I don’t really watch him so I can’t comment on him that much. I appreciate he’s used his platform to bring awareness to proper left leaning candidates + hold the feet of the Democratic Party to the fire for being weak and useless. So based on what I do know I think he’s overall a net positive influence

Fucking John Paul Jones (the naval officer, not the guy from Led Zeppelin lol) literally commanded a fleet of boats that were borderline pirates. They just circled that tea drinking island then would do surprise attacks. And I’m talking raiding villages on the coast, stealing ships, or destroying harbors. Like I said, they were essentially just pirates who made life hell for the British at home too
