Five.
One of them was Mohammed Salman Hamdani, a Pakistani American NYPD cadet who saw the flames and ran inside to help on his own and was killed. Gov’t first suspected him of being one of the terrorists because of his name and religion and that he was missing and not officially deployed to the scene. After his remains were found and his true story emerged, he was commended by name in the text of the Patriot Act. The others were:
Mohammad Salahuddin Chowdhury, 38, lived in Queens, and was a waiter at Windows on the World. Chowdhury was from Bangladesh, where he held a master’s degree in physics. His wife gave birth to their second child on September 13th.
Mohammad Ali Sadeque, 62, was a newspaper vendor from Bangladesh. He lived in Jackson Heights, Queens, with his wife Mumtaz. During the attack Ali was in lower Manhattan, presumably somewhere too-close-to or inside the World Trade Center, and was later never found.
Mohammed Shajahan, 41, hometown of Asadpur in southeast Bangladesh. Lived in Spring Valley, NY, with his wife and 4 children. He was a computer administrator at Marsh & McLennan Cos. Inc. and an active member of the Mosque of the Jerrahi Order in Chestnut Ridge, NY.
Boyie Mohammed grew up in Trinidad. He married his childhood sweetheart Lynette and then they both moved to Brooklyn, where they had two sons. They were devoted members at Brooklyn Tabernacle Church. Mohammed worked for Carr Futures, which lost 69 of 141 employees on 9/11.My Take: This list, little known, is a challenge both to Islamist radicals and to non-Muslim Americans Let the jihadis be reminded at all times that they kill Muslims (not to mention non-Muslims with the name Mohammed) in their vicious attacks. Let other Americans realize that most of the Mohammeds among us are just like anybody else.
