The petition also cites several examples which the organisers believe contravene the criteria which they believe must be upheld in order to attend. Mamdani has also previously associated himself with extremist streamer Hasan Piker, including appearing on Piker’s online show and attending a private Eid dinner together. Other relatives of 9/11 victims, including Monica Iken-Murphy whose then-37-year-old husband, Michael Iken, was killed have also signed the petition. The petition declares: “The 25th anniversary should remain centred on remembrance, unity, and an unambiguous rejection of the violence and extremism that defined that day.” “Thank you for your attention to this matter and for your continued commitment to honouring the memory of those lost on September 11, 2001.”
