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

Posted on 06/25/2025 6:00:01 AM PDT by MinorityRepublican

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.

Islam and world submission to it is on track. That’s what this means.

How does RCV maintain 1 person one vote. You have no idea what you are actually voting for or against.

Hmph! Quite the dilemma. A murderer of the elderly or a (probably) Jew hating commie.

Uhh, this is NYC, so probably not a lot of difference. Looks like the fake Jews of NYC went for the not-known murderer.

Burn the city down and start over. Oh, wait, NYC was originally a Dutch colony. Think they would trade it for Greenland?

The new mayor will be relentlessly hostile to the business community and to wealthy New Yorkers. This will cause the job creators to flee the city in even greater numbers.

Not so good for Jewish New Yorkers.

I am not so sure about that.

they seem to have no problem with him whatsoever, since this segment of society seems to affirm, once again, that it is unabashedly progressive in its political inclinations

The dreams of Osama bin Laden for post 9/11 24 years ago. NYC will have a Muslim Mayor as Afghanistan is STILL Taliban controlled.

“But New York City is liberal mecca, so it’s only fitting they have a mayor that believes what they do.”

There in lies the great deception. Muzz are anything but liberal. The Western leftist identifies only two groups: the oppressor, and the oppressed. Victims or bullies. They will always take the side of the minority, as it must be the oppressed victim. This is why they rally behind every ignorant degenerate out there. Couple that with their abstract hatred of the USA because of what the media tells them and you have an army of useful idiots who get some kind of warm fuzzy feeling from ruining someone else’s day. Those same useful idiots will act shocked when hizonner’s true colors show through.

Zohran Mamdani (Muslim/Communist/Democrat)

Eric Adams (former Democrat NYC mayor/Independent)

Curtis Sliwa (Guardian Angels founder/Republican)

You can’t say there isn’t a distinction between the choices on the ballot. This should be a lively campaign.

If the people of NYC elect Mamdani it is going to be Escape From New York brought to real life.

And I will have no sympathy for them when the consequences hit.

Who thought running Cuomo was a good idea?

Almost as bad as running Anthony Weiner !

No matter how “nutty” he is, Curtis Sliwa will be a much better mayor than Crazy Muslim Marxist would be.
