Shocking Video Out of NYC Almost Makes Me Rethink This Whole 'First Amendment' Thing
PJ Media ^ | 12 Mar 2026 | Athena Thorne

I don't care if you call me "Islamophobic." I don't care if I am Islamophobic. Call me whatever you need to, but holy halal, Batman, what fresh hell is this?

I'll tell you what it is: It's the Islamist mayor of the erstwhile greatest city on the face of the Earth, turning the people's seat of power into a Muslim stronghold, much as he is turning the Big Apple into a sharia-friendly s**thole. On Wednesday, New York City Mayor Mamdani hosted an iftar — the meal at which Muslims stuff their faces after fasting through the daylight hours during Ramadan — in New York City Hall.

In this clip, the Muslim mayor gushes that "even just having you all here today, even just sitting on the floor — the transformation of a space that I've only ever known in one way, frankly — it is a gift."

Separation of church and state, anyone? Where are the lawsuits from the ACLU? The ADL?

Astute observers on social media spotlighted one of the guests giving an ISIS salute during the Religion of Peace festivities...

AND all the great diverse prayer rugs in front of the FDNY memorial for muzzies to thank Allah for the infidels Muslims killed at the twin towers.

This is going to make the Dinkens days look like Paradise Lost.

New Yorkers are going to get what they voted for - good and hard.

We can only hope that Mamdani gets what HE voted for sometime ago without affecting normal folks. It’s really difficult for me to believe that any normal person would have voted for this guy.

Worth considering???

"No federal tax monies collected in any other state shall be sent to a state in which its government fails."

I’m not so sure this really counts as church and state.

A fews years after 9/11 there was a big furor about the establishment of a mosque near the trade center site. People argued that a mosque would be a symbol of victory for the Islamic terrorists. It was canceled. Twenty five years later an extremist Muslim is mayor, hosting Hamas terrorists and blaming white supremacists for attacks on Muslims. With defeat in A-stan the war on terror has followed us home.

I always used to think that we could have elected someone named “Barack Obama” after 9/11. Mamdani says “hold my beer”.

Why do people [act] surprised?

They must be leaving some critical things out of World History in high school these days.

Islam is a political ideology posing as a religion

It should be banned immediately as anti-Constitutional

The best way for modern people to understand it is if Lenin declared that he was a prophet, and God gave him God’s final revelation for the social organization of mankind, which must be spread around the world.

On Wednesday, New York City Mayor Mamdani hosted an iftar — the meal at which Muslims stuff their faces after fasting through the daylight hours during Ramadan — in New York City Hall.

Let me get this out of the way: I have zero tolerance for mooslimes and their culture. Aside from the invention of “zero”, its is about as cultural enriching as dog turds on a shoe.

I am going to keep my powder dry on this one. I don’t see it as fundamentally different from the Easter Egg Roll or putting up Christmas trees in public places such as Rockefeller Center. No matter how hard lefties bltch and insist its all secular, its not. These are very Christian events and deservedly so.
[I DO have issues with calls for prayer loudspeakered 5 times a day. Its not the same as church bells once oa week on Sunday...]

All that said, I hope the iftar hummus was made with bacon gease.

It was the invaders who elected Mamdani. If only America born Americans voted he would have lost

Here’s more from the NY Post: Mamdani claims he was defending free speech by hosting divisive Mahmoud Khalil at Gracie Mansion (https://nypost.com/2026/03/12/us-news/zohran-mamdani-claims-he-was-defending-free-speech-by-hosting-divisive-mahmoud-khalil-at-gracie-mansion/)

Yet, not surprisingly,, Mamdani failed to recognize the 1st Amendment rights of the so-called “white supremacist” protests at Gracie Mansion last weekend.

They’ve had Iftar events at the White House, dating back to Jefferson’s Administration, right up to and including Trump’s two terms. No word if one will be held there this year, given the Iran bombings.

Remember when the Freedom from Religion Foundation sued every state and local government over Christmas mangers or Easter crosses? They sued nearly every school district across the country to extinguish every last vestige of prayer and Christianity from our schools. And now? How about that. Not a peep from them.

Why is the theme “You elected him?”

And why are posters unaware that he was fraudulently installed in office?
