🚨 They Blamed Muslims. Then It Turned Out the NYPD Officer Killed Was a Muslim Immigrant. The shooter was a licensed American.
The victim's name was Didarul Islam — a Muslim, a father, and an immigrant from Bangladesh.

I’m not known as a supporter of the NYPD.
Let’s start there.
I’ve spent years exposing police violence, surveillance, and corruption in this country — especially in New York.
But something happened yesterday that I have to speak on. Because once again, the hatred we carry toward Muslims and immigrants in this country nearly drowned out the truth.
Here’s what happened:
An American man drove from Las Vegas to Midtown Manhattan with legally purchased guns — including an automatic rifle.
He entered an office building, killed three civilians, and then opened fire on NYPD officers.
One of them — Officer Didarul Islam — died from his injuries.
And before anyone knew who the shooter was, people like Laura Loomer and Charlie Kirk were already blaming Muslims.
They didn’t know a thing — and still they blamed us.
Laura Loomer first suggested the shooter was a Muslim.
Charlie Kirk posted:
“Just in NYC all weekend with our family. Never felt safe. So many people in the city who don’t belong.”
He didn’t know the facts.
He just knew he needed someone to blame.
And like always — they reached for the “others” that “don’t belong.”
But here’s the truth:
The shooter was an American citizen with legally obtained firearms.
The man he killed was Didarul Islam — a 36-year-old Muslim immigrant from Bangladesh.
A husband.
A father of two boys — ages 7 and 5.
A man whose wife is now 8 months pregnant with their third child.
A man who lived in Parkchester, cared for his elderly parents, and joined the NYPD four years ago to build a legacy his family could be proud of.
As Zohran Mamdani said today:
“When he joined the police department, his mother asked him why he would pursue such a dangerous job. He told her it was to leave behind a legacy that his family could be proud of.”
“He has done that, and more.”
“I pray for him, his family, and honor the legacy of service and sacrifice he leaves behind.”
Zohran — a fellow Muslim, fellow immigrant, and likely future mayor of New York City — said what needed to be said.
This wasn’t just a tragedy. It was a sacrifice.
And the people who spent all day blaming Muslims should sit with that.
This country’s first instinct is always to blame us.
Before the blood dries.
Before the bodies are counted.
Before they even know who died.
They blame Muslims.
They blame immigrants.
They blame Palestinians.
They blame Black and brown people.
They blame the ones who’ve buried more dead than they’ll ever know.
And even when we’re the ones bleeding — they pretend we’re the threat.
That’s what makes this country so cruel.
Officer Didarul Islam gave his life trying to protect people from violence.
And while he lay dying, people like Charlie Kirk were on Twitter blaming “people who don’t belong.”
Think about that.
A Muslim immigrant father was protecting this city.
And Islamophobes were blaming him for his own death.
May Allah have mercy on Didarul Islam.
May He comfort his wife.
May He protect his unborn child.
May He guide his sons.
May He reward his mother and father — who raised a son this city did not deserve.
If you can’t see the hypocrisy by now, you don’t want to.
The shooter was American.
The guns were legal.
The motive is still being uncovered.
But one thing was clear from the very beginning:
They were going to blame Muslims no matter what.
📣 Don’t let them lie unchecked.
Stand with the truth.

The more and more I think of this dear brother, the more I understand how much of a walking contradiction he was to every single lie we are told about Muslims, about immigrants, and so much more.
Boy, does this mess up the views of Alex Jones, Breitbart, the Three Percenters, Trumpetoons, and the National Rifle Association.
The good guy with the gun was a Muslim from Bangladesh and serving New York Police Officer and the bad guy with the gun was a licensed non-Muslim American nutball.
Do we see the problem yet?
