If anything, it’s worse than his leftism is.
Zohran Mamdani, the Democrat party’s candidate for mayor of New York, has attracted attention for the fact that he’s a hardcore communist. However, his religious beliefs deserve some attention, too.
First, there’s the fact that he’s a Shia Muslim who is affiliated with the Twelver Branch that drives the Iranian mullahs. Back in 2006, the late Bernard Lewis wrote about this ideology when he explained why the mullahs are not necessarily amenable to the doctrine of mutually assured destruction:
In Islam, as in Judaism and Christianity, there are certain beliefs concerning the cosmic struggle at the end of time -- Gog and Magog, anti-Christ, Armageddon, and for Shiite Muslims, the long awaited return of the Hidden Imam, ending in the final victory of the forces of good over evil, however these may be defined.
[snip]
A passage from the Ayatollah Khomeini, quoted in an 11th-grade Iranian schoolbook, is revealing. “I am decisively announcing to the whole world that if the world-devourers [i.e., the infidel powers] wish to stand against our religion, we will stand against their whole world and will not cease until the annihilation of all them. Either we all become free, or we will go to the greater freedom which is martyrdom. Either we shake one another's hands in joy at the victory of Islam in the world, or all of us will turn to eternal life and martyrdom. In both cases, victory and success are ours.”
The Twelvers don’t fear Armageddon; they embrace it.
It’s unclear how fervent Mamdani’s beliefs are, especially given his Marxism. He may be an atheist who just lays claim to that identity for political advancement. Or he could be a true believer practicing Taqiya (dissimulation) against the West.

Thank you very much and God bless you.
It seems the young leftists in NYC have no problem with radical islam.
nyc wants to elect an iranian mullah for mayor?
ok but dont even think about starting a nuclear project
For me, that’s been the bigger problem.
I think NO foreign born person should ever be allowed to hold political office.
While there are the few good ones, they are so rare as to be insignificant.
You can bet the commie pig cheered and danced when the WTC came down.
“...we will go to the greater freedom which is martyrdom...”
Your terms are acceptable. You want death, then we will give it to you. /spit
They want you believe that Islamophobia is strictly irrational.
I think NO foreign born person should ever be allowed to hold political office.

I totally agree. How can a muzzzie swear to uphold the USC when everything their pseudo religion believes is counter to it? As for letting them swear upon the koran, WTF were they thinking when they allowed this? Stop being afraid to have a backbone with these ass-lifters as they slowly erode our American, Judeo-Christian Republic. Piss be upon them.
..... when he explained why the mullahs are not necessarily amenable to the doctrine of mutually assured destruction: .....
Sure they are not. That is why they do not hide in fear when being attacked!
Sure, sure ......
It’s too late. Time to talk about what he’ll do to NYC once he’s mayor.
First, he looks white. What color do muzzies claim to be? If he’s white, he’s going to have to tax his own ying yang.
And they are succeeding. Kenji Goto, seen in the picture below - who remembers him? Who is today allowed to discuss what happened to him? Goto was a news photographer. He had his throat slit by his Muslim captors soon after this picture was taken.
Such behavior is not an outlier of Islam. It is a feature of Islam. Death to the infidel.
Political jihad inside the “free” republic.
“Jehad is a continuous and never-ending struggle waged on all fronts including political, economic, social, psychological, domestic, moral and spiritual to attain the objectives of policy.”
The Quranic Concept of War - pp115/6
If he was a born again Christian you’d never hear the end of it.
Correct! No foreign born person who is not a naturalized American citizen should ever hold political office here. Many should not even be allowed into this country. Many just cannot accept American ways.
Absolutely; foreign born candidates can never totally assimilate, it is not physically nor mentally possible.
“Either we all become free, or we will go to the greater freedom which is martyrdom.”
We’ll choose B.
Hold on, you would kick out of office six senators, including Ted Cruz and Bernie Moreno. And 26 congressmen.
And a lot of others like the present speaker of the AZ house (R).
See the long list of foreign born politicians.

Admittedly, Dems have large majority on this list, but several well known Reps are there too.
