People at the Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport reported Muslims (mainly cab drivers) cheering the news of 9/11. Do people like you ever think before you type stuff. Political Correctness allowed this stupidity to happen. This was before Camera phones were common place in our culture, but it is well known that American Muslims cheered the September 11th attacks.

That happens every time he opens his mouth.

If that really happened, what kind of ****ies live in DFW? If that had really happened in Jersey, there are a lot people who would have wiped that smile off their face. Metro NYC was a pretty emotional place in the days following 9/11, not a good time for anyone to laugh or cheer about the attack.

If you think about it, that is pretty absurd as well.

If you downplay, or in this case, deny even the possibility of it, for political purposes, are you really that much better than the person who exaggerates it for political purposes? In both cases, the truth is lost.
There were probably a few Americans who celebrated terror attacks on 9/11, or at minimum felt we had it coming (like Jerry Falwell), but that's not the same as saying thousands of Muslims in North Jersey danced on the streets on that day. The former is a statistical certainty; the latter is a complete fabrication.

Muslim cab drivers celebrating at the airport? Did they get out of their cabs en masse and start dancing in the terminals? What an obviously phony story.

Also, can Trump fans stop acting like the event took place in 1801? Our technology was sufficiently advanced to capture these alleged celebrations had they occured, and we weren't passing around information via carrier pigeons. We even had high speed Internet and message boards, so where are these confirmed reports of Muslim partying on 9/11?

Why must every statement uttered by Trump be subjected to microscopic detail? We all know Trump is the ONLY politician that stretches the truth a bit, right? Everything other candidates utter is the complete and unvarnished truth. /sarc

There are plenty of eyewitness reports about celebrations but I'll admit the "thousands" in this country may be an exaggeration.

Probably the most unbiased article about the situation is this one, where the author has done some real investigative reporting on the celebrations in the aftermath:

ISIS | Center for Inquiry

Yes it was, heck I saw it on television down here in Louisiana, the reason I remember was because it really made me mad.

Most of the celebration rumors were not just false but absurd. I've collected dozens and dozens of them. They fall into four categories: (a) blatant lies, (b) not-as-blatant lies, (c) claims that were probably lies but could not be proven as such, and (d) people shooting their mouths off without knowing what they were talking about.
The author discounts any claims of celebrating Muslims, Trump is a liar and his refusal to acknowledge that he lied is pathological. He is a quintessential Republican and will make a fine nominee.

Of course they would celebrate. The Muslims wanted that ground zero site for a mosque.

It's been a couple days and no one has been able to find any video of thousands and thousands of New Jersey Arabs celebrating on 9/11. Trump's campaign has produced nothing. Trump today told NBC news that he certain there is video because he has the world's best memory. For real.

I see the lying is contagious--Muslims wanted the Ground Zero site for themselves? And for what????

The proposed mosque would have been built a few blocks away from the WTC, but it certainly wasn't intended as a middle finger for the thousands who died that day.

These warped lies come from the same group that spent all summer using their "Hillary Lied" catchphrase. Now look that them.
