Im a Muslim doctor who treats 9/11 victims why Im outraged by Hasan Pikers venom

I’m an observing Muslim woman — British by birth, American by privilege — who witnessed 9/11 in real time from Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, where I was treating critically ill patients.That was my introduction to radical Islam — a profound distortion of my faith.Today, as a doctor who treats 9/11 first responders and survivors as a consulting sleep specialist to the Federal World Trade Center Health Program, I see the long-term impacts of that horrific day up close.So it outraged me deeply to hear 9/11 vilified by far-left Democratic Twitch mouthpiece Hasan Piker, who has casually declared that “America deserved 9/11.”And while he’s tried to backtrack on his comments just in time for the 25th anniversary of those heinous attacks, as a Muslim who rejects Islamism I must speak out against his venom.Witnessing 9/11 launched my 25-year intellectual and global odyssey to understand radical Islam and its impact — on both its terror victims and on those seduced by powerful Islamist ideology.It’s still difficult to comprehend the true extent of 9/11’s toll.We all know that 2,977 people were killed in the attacks, including 2,753 at the World Trade Center in New York, 184 at the Pentagon in Washington, DC, and 40 on Flight 93 in Shanksville, Penn.It was the greatest loss of life on American soil since Pearl Harbor, an unmistakable act of war.Yet more than 9,200 people have since died of World Trade Center-related diseases — over three times the number lost in the terror attacks themselves.They were killed by illnesses related to toxins released in the towers’ destruction — lung disease, prostate cancer, thyroid cancer, kidney cancers and melanoma.Many more deaths may be yet to come: 52,000 people are now certified with WTC-related cancers.Meanwhile, tens of thousands of survivors suffer daily with diseases of the sinuses, severe gastroesophageal reflux, post-traumatic stress disorder, obstructive sleep apnea, depression, anxiety and more.By la...
