Former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani criticized media coverage of recent terror attacks during an interview with Ed Henry, accusing major outlets of downplaying incidents tied to radical Islamist ideology while deflecting responsibility onto U.S. foreign policy.
Henry opened the discussion by referencing commentary circulating on television following recent terror incidents.
“CNN is now letting some people say, Well, look, we’re, you know, we started the Gulf War, so we got hit on 9/11,” Henry said.

Giuliani responded by criticizing how the network frames terrorism and the motivations behind attacks.
“Oh, I mean, Al Jazeera is actually more fair and balanced than CNN, even if they are biased. That’s a totally ridiculous concept. But of course, it’s meant to block a very, very startling, dramatic fact that we’re not really recognizing. In the last five or six days, we’ve had three major attempts in the Name of Allah, in a literal interpretation of the teachings of Mohammed and based on things that are securely and absolutely written in the Quran to commit mass murder,” Giuliani said.
He compared the incidents to organized crime violence to illustrate the frequency of the attacks.
“This would be as if the mafia carried out three mass murders in five days, or attempted to, yeah, and, and it’s as if, as it’s as if it didn’t happen. Overall, afraid to say anything about it,” Giuliani said.

Giuliani argued that discussions about terrorism often avoid examining religious motivations.
“The religion they are talking about has for 1400 years been unlike what President Bush said, not a religion of peace, but a religion of war. Yes, you can write the history of the dark and middle ages about the wars conducted by the Muslims,” Giuliani said.
He continued by contrasting the spread of Islam with the historical spread of other religions.
“Unlike Judaism and Catholicism and other religions, they didn’t spread by preaching. They spread by terroristic warfare, even even Persia, Iran wasn’t Muslim, it was Zoroastrian. The descendants of Mohammed, the second and third caliph, conducted genocide in Iran, destroyed Zorro Zoroaster and forced them to be Muslims,” Giuliani said.
Henry then shifted the conversation to security concerns and immigration policy.
“So what do we do now? Because, you know, Mr. Mayor, Joe Biden’s open border policy seemed to be coming home to roost all these terror attacks as you’re laying them out,” Henry said.
Henry also referenced recent incidents and political debates surrounding homeland security funding and immigration enforcement.
“I mean, let’s talk about Austin, Texas as well. The guy had a t shirt about Iran on it last weekend in New York City, and New York Senator Chuck Schumer is blocking the full money for Homeland Security. And the guy who’s got your job now, Zoran Mamdani, said he’s worried about Muslim bigotry and Islamophobia. What in the world is going on?” Henry asked.
