Far-right anti-Islam rally held outside New York City Hall on 9/11 anniversary
The rally took place on the 25th anniversary of the September 11 attacks, but available reporting does not identify its organisers, attendance or demands.
A far-right, Islamophobic rally was held outside New York City Hall on 11 September, coinciding with the 25th anniversary of the September 11, 2001 attacks.
Al Jazeera Global News reported that protesters held anti-Islam and anti-Muslim signs during the rally. The available source material does not identify the organisers, speakers, attendance, specific demands or any incidents.
The September 11 attacks were carried out after al-Qaeda militants hijacked four planes, killing nearly 3,000 people at the World Trade Centre, the Pentagon and in Pennsylvania.
The anniversary was also marked by a ceremony at the Pentagon attended by US President Donald Trump.
The rally comes amid wider debate over the political and social consequences of post-9/11 counterterrorism policies and rhetoric. Historical material linking those developments to the growth of anti-Muslim racism and far-right politics in Europe is presented as analysis rather than an established account of the rally.
