Zohran Mamdani’s Success Is Especially Meaningful for Muslim New Yorkers
The New York Times ^ | June 25, 2025 | Maya King

Zohran Mamdani’s stunning performance in the Democratic mayoral primary on Tuesday amounted to a watershed moment for Muslim New Yorkers, who could see one of their own lead City Hall for the first time should he succeed in the general election in November.

New York City is home to roughly one million Muslims; they made up 12 percent of the electorate in the 2021 mayoral election. Mr. Mamdani wove his faith into his campaign from its earliest days, hitting the trail while fasting for Ramadan and taking his message of affordability to mosques and Muslim community centers throughout the city.

His triumph over former Gov. Andrew Cuomo, who led in most polls throughout the race, was driven by the diverse coalition of voters he built that included young people, people of color, and first-time and infrequent voters. Muslim voters played a large role in growing that base.

Leave it to the nutters at the Spew Barf Slimes to immediately start fellating the Musloids.

The far left has convinced their mush head followers that there is great amounts of virtue to be had if one votes for a muzzie.

Middle eastern dollars yielding big results.

Well, if crashing into skyscrapers won’t do the trick, get elected by the useful idiots.

This does not bode well for NYC, and by extension the state and our nation. We do not want to see the city follow the trajectory of Londonistan or we will see true cultural, religious, and legal conflicts, and potentially violent ones.

Many Jewish people despise Zionists, so voting for a Muslim makes sense to them.

Islam is not a religion. It should be banned from all Western countries. Its adherents should be denied entry to Western countries. Any US converts should be put on a watch list. Islam is an evil cult bent on destroying everything else.

This is the best chance for a Republican to take NYC in a generation. Eric Adams is running as an independent which will take some of Mamdami's Democrat votes.

And his Republican opponent is the Guardian Angel's own Curtis Sliwa. He could win it.
