Quote by Michael Bloomberg

Ironically, it is exactly because we are a city that embraces freedom, that welcomes everyone and encourages their dreams, that New York remains on the front lines in the war on terror.

Ironically, it is exactly because we are a city that embrace

Summary

This quote suggests that the very qualities that make New York City a beacon of freedom and opportunity also make it a target for acts of terrorism. It implies that the city's inclusive and diverse nature attracts individuals from all over the world who may hold differing beliefs and ideologies. Consequently, New York becomes a frontline in the fight against terror due to its capacity to challenge and confront those who may seek to undermine its core values. The quote highlights the paradoxical relationship between freedom and the continuous effort needed to protect and preserve it.
