As Zohran Mamdani edges closer to potentially becoming New York City’s next mayor, he’s increasingly shedding any pretense he might have maintained over recent months. Surprisingly, this seems to resonate with the city’s predominantly Democratic electorate, whose support for Mamdani grows with each of his bold statements.

It’s a sign that the political landscape in New York City is undergoing a significant transformation.

While it’s not a pleasure to admit, it’s challenging to envision a victory path for the Republican candidate, Curtis Sliwa, known for his trademark beret. This scenario places Mamdani in a prime position to lead one of the world’s most influential financial hubs.

Imam Siraj Wahhaj is a complex figure whose extensive history of alleged support for Islamic extremism raises eyebrows. Despite this, Mamdani appears enthusiastic about his association, even posing for photos with the controversial figure. He went further by criticizing Chris Cuomo for not doing the same during a recent debate.

Today at Masjid At-Taqwa, I had the pleasure of meeting with Imam Siraj Wahhaj, one of the nation’s foremost Muslim leaders and a pillar of the Bed-Stuy community for nearly half a century. I was also joined by CM @dr_yusefsalaam of Harlem. A beautiful Jummah. pic.twitter.com/4kcN4CGlUk

Who is Imam Siraj Wahhaj? That’s a complicated question, not because his background is morally opaque, but because his history of directly supporting Islamic terrorism is so extensive. 

1) He was an unindicted co-conspirator in the 1993 bombing of the World Trade Center.

2) He called for establishing an Islamic state in America, calling for Muslim immigrants to “establish Allah’s deen.”

3) He has called for ending democracy in favor of Islamic law. 

4) He testified in defense of Omar Abdel-Rahman, otherwise known as the “Blind Sheik.”

5) He’s repeatedly encouraged Muslims to use political power in America in service to Islam. 

6) He has three children who have been charged with terrorism offenses. 

Mamdani is apparently so jazzed by all that, he not only took smiling pictures with this Islamist lunatic, but he then attacked Chris Cuomo for not doing so during their debate. 

Zohran Mamdani says Cuomo is not qualified to be mayor because he didn’t visit a mosque: “He had over 10 years and he couldn’t name a single mosque that he visited! Muslims want equality and respect! Can you name a single mosque you went to in 10 years?” pic.twitter.com/uxGpjyxdwK

Muslims make up one percent of the U.S. population. The idea that politicians must endorse the very fringes of radicalism to be qualified to hold office is insane. Yet, that’s exactly the standard being established not just by Mamdani, but by the Democratic Party as a whole, which has bestowed the most violent religion in history with victimhood status. Calling it absurd would be underselling things. It’s outright dangerous given the ambitions of Islam and its outspoken goal of colonizing Western nations through subversion and birth rates. 

In a recent interview, Mamdani was asked if Hamas should disarm. It should have been a lay-up. Instead, he refused to answer the question, claiming he had no opinion on the matter. This is a guy who has an opinion on everything, including jailing Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu, but when it comes to Islamic terrorists who murder pregnant women, he just can’t come up with anything. How very convenient.
