It is sad that sympathizers, now that evidence comes out, are quibbling over whether "only" a thousand muslims celebrated or "thousands" celebrated.
It's sad tat people are still defending Trump's claims despite absolutely no evidence to back it up. There is no evidence whatsoever that "a thousand Muslims celebrated in NJ, much less Thousands and Thousands

No, we're "quibbling" over whether only a few dozen celebrated as opposed to thousands and thousands. There is quite a difference between those kinds of numbers. The first suggests there were not many and they were outliers in the community; the second suggests there was a plurality within the community who felt that way.
Quite a difference if you happen to be a member of that community, given the kind of rhetoric that is being spread about you by the front runner of a major political party.

How about thousands vs. maybe a couple of dozen. By the way, I'm not a muslim sympathizer. Far from it. But my regard for truth and historical accuracy outweighs my feelings concerning any particular group or religion.

No one is even saying "only a thousand" because 1000 is still way too high of a number and didn't happen. There is no proof, personal stories or archival, that any more than a few groups of about a dozen here and there were celebrating.

How did all the major media miss this event.
Are the rooftops on Tonnelle Ave. in Jersey City even visible from Trump's building in Manhattan? Did Trump ever say exactly where he was when he saw the "thousands" of muslims celebrating the attacks.
They were focused on 3000 people burning to death in two buildings.
I do believe that thousands and thousands of people cheering the death of 3000 people would have attracted some attention from the media.
The fact is - it isn't true.
