Demonstration Unfolds on 25th Anniversary of 9/11
NEW YORK — A transgender performance artist tore pages from a Bible and read Scripture aloud during a counter-protest outside New York City Hall on Friday, September 11, as the city marked the 25th anniversary of the terrorist attacks that killed nearly 3,000 people.
Video clips circulating online show the performer wearing devil horns, holding a crucifix and opening a Bible before tearing out pages and throwing them onto the ground. Police officers could be seen nearby during the demonstration.
The incident occurred during a counter-protest responding to a separate anti-Islam demonstration outside City Hall. The competing demonstrations unfolded as New York held solemn observances throughout the city commemorating a quarter-century since the September 11, 2001, attacks.
Performer Reads From the Book of Micah
After tearing pages from the Bible, the performer read from Micah 5:10, a passage describing God removing horses, chariots and strongholds.
For Christians, the imagery carries a broader biblical message about the limits of human power and reliance on military strength. However, the performer’s intended interpretation of the passage should not be assumed without a direct explanation from the individual.
The display quickly generated criticism online, particularly because of the treatment of the Bible and the timing of the demonstration on the anniversary of 9/11.
Identity Has Not Been Independently Confirmed
LifeSiteNews reported that the individual was believed to be performance artist and transgender activist Qween Amor. The Christian Post, however, noted that the identification had not been confirmed. Amor is a New York performance artist known for provocative demonstrations in public spaces.
That distinction is important: while video evidence and multiple reports document the Bible-tearing incident, CNIR cannot independently confirm the performer’s identity based on currently available reporting.
The episode presented a stark contrast to other events across New York on Friday, where religious leaders, first responders, public officials and families gathered to remember those killed on September 11 and reflect on sacrifice, faith and resilience.
