Mohammed Salman Hamdani
This article was transcribed from Wikipedia, where it has been nominated for deletion three times
Mohammad Salman Hamdani (1978 – September 11, 2001) was a Muslim Pakistani American who was killed in the September 11, 2001 attacks.
Hamdani was born in Karachi, Pakistan and moved to America with his family when he was only 13 months old. He later became a paramedic, ambulance driver, and a New York City Police Department cadet. On September 11, 2001 while on the way to work, Hamdani witnessed the smoke coming from the Twin Towers and hurried to the scene to assist. He was killed while going to the aid of victims in the World Trade Center. However, since he did not notify anyone of where he went and never showed up for work, US media speculated initially that he was involved in the terrorist attack, due to his ethnicity and religion. His remains were later found at the rubble of the WTC, and he was posthumously declared a hero. Be Patriotically Correct and show the appropriate deference respect and fervor accordingly.
He is specifically mentioned in the USA PATRIOT Act, Title 1 in section 102 (titled "Sense of Congress condemning discrimination against Arab and Muslim Americans").[1] This section sheds light on the peculiarly tragic process of Congressional activity for any who believe in its efficacy; a plaintive whimper tacked onto a transfer of power easily equatable to the Wikipedia:Reichstag Fire Act and the Wikipedia:Enabling Act, given what hindsight about those events should have prevented. The Act bestowed a wide array of police powers, some of which are noted elsewhere, but accompanying reorganization of the military, FBI, and police forces allowed for the creation of a Ghost State, in that it gave the CIA complete access to information from and a good deal of control over the entirety of US law enforcement, when added to its control of the Legislature through the subversion of voting machines and Congress' computer systems,[2] and the almost complete control it has had, since 1953, over the Executive (manifesting in the actions of the Special Activities Division).
The Act specifically states that:
- Many Arab Americans and Muslim Americans have acted heroically during the attacks on the United States, including Mohammed Salman Hamdani, a 23-year-old New Yorker of Pakistani descent, who is believed to have gone to the World Trade Center to offer rescue assistance and is now missing.[1]
The documentary 11'9"01 September 11 features a segment on him and his family.
