He was speaking from a place of ignorance: He told colleagues that he had not read the task force’s final report—why bother?—which described a series of “disturbing incidents” on campus. He also accused the task force of exacerbating divisions between campus groups just like the British colonial strategy of “divide and rule,” which separated racial and religious groups to preserve power.

Three sources who attended the December meeting confirmed Professor Mamdani’s remarks, which have not been previously reported.

The mask is completely off now that his son is elected mayor. I can’t wait for the call to prayer 5 times a day in Columbia.

Indonesia is very Indonesia this time of year. And I hear Uganda is very Uganda.

Maybe Columbia’s task force should be more like the antisemitism task force at Kampala University where Mahmood is the Chancellor….

Worth comparing

This, coming from a religious supremacist? Projection.

Interview him. Put him on what he think is an ally show. He likes to hear himself talk. You want to reduce Zoltar to incoherent anger? Project Veritas big daddy.

No lies detected here.

Which “community” did he expect it to “represent”? A “task force” to encourage more anti-Semitism? It usually doesn’t take much encouragement. Does Somalia have a Jewish community? Put a task force on that.

Odd behavior for a university. They usually require blind obedience. I suspect they did not disagree.
