A million Muslims live in New York City. We belong here, as does every other New Yorker. This is vile Islamophobia from the Councilwoman and it has no place in our city.
A Quote Tweet from NYC Councilmember Vickie Paladino @VickieForNYC stating:

“We’re in the midst of a global jihad the likes of which the world has never seen, and we cannot ignore it.

“We need to take every seriously the need to begin the expulsion of Muslims from western nations, or at the very least the severe sanction of them within western borders.

“The administration needs to begin developing a formal legal framework for the denaturalization process and get it over with before we end up with another 9/11 or worse. Enough is enough.”

The quoted tweet from @DrewPavlu stating:
“AUSTRALIAN HERO TOOK GUN OFF SHOOTER

“TERROR ATTACK SYDNEY AT LEAST 10 DEAD

“AUSTRALIAN HERO TOOK DOWN GUNMAN”
