Egyptian activist Rana Abdel Hamid celebrated her win by claiming that she and other Muslims were the actual victims of the September 11, 2001 Islamic terrorist attacks and that they should “unapologetically” Islamize the city.
An Egyptian-American won a United States city approval for the Islamic call to prayer (Adhan) to be blasted from loudspeakers five times a day at three mosques in her New York neighborhood during Ramadan.
Muslim community organizer and politician Rana Abdel Hamid posted on several media platforms that she received approval Monday from the Astoria neighborhood, known as “Little Egypt.” The neighborhood is situated west of Queens in New York City. Muslims celebrated the further Islamization of New York City, “I feel like it’s beautiful, like coming back from Egypt, somewhere that where that’s normal,” said one Egyptian Astoria resident.
