In the cesspool of New York City politics, where ambition often trumps integrity, Zohran Mamdani stands out as a particularly insidious figure, a self-proclaimed democratic socialist whose campaign reeks of calculated deception. As the Democratic nominee for mayor in this 2025 election, Mamdani has mastered the art of flip-flopping, dodging, and outright dissimulation, behaviors that echo the Islamic doctrine of taqiyya.
For those unfamiliar, taqiyya allows Muslims, particularly in Shia traditions like Mamdani's Twelver background, to conceal their true beliefs under threat.
But in Mamdani's case, it's not persecution he's hiding from, it's the electorate's scrutiny.
He's weaponizing it to mask his radical sympathies for Hamas and anti-Israel extremism, all while posing as a moderate peacemaker.
Let's start with the smoking gun: Mamdani's shameless U-turn on Hamas disarmament. Just one day before the October 16, 2025, mayoral debate, he appeared on Fox News and flatly refused to call for Hamas to lay down its arms as part of any Gaza ceasefire, babbling instead about "peace and reconstruction" like a man auditioning for Qatar's propaganda arm.
Then, under the debate lights with Andrew Cuomo and Curtis Sliwa breathing down his neck, he pivoted faster than a weathervane in a hurricane: "Of course Hamas should disarm under a broader agreement."
This isn't evolution; it's evasion. Taqiyya in action, say what you must to survive the moment, while your core allegiances remain untouched. Mamdani's critics, from Congressman Mike Lawler to everyday New Yorkers, aren't buying it. Lawler blasted him for "HAMAS evasions," pointing out how Mamdani's fundraising for UNRWA, despite its documented ties to Hamas terrorists, exposes his true colors.
UNRWA staffers participated in the October 7 massacre, yet Mamdani runs Gaza 5Ks to funnel cash their way. Charity? Please. It's complicity wrapped in virtue-signaling.But the deception runs deeper, rooted in a family legacy of terror apologism. Mamdani's father, Mahmood, penned in 2004 that suicide bombings, fresh off slaughtering Israeli civilians, should be seen as "modern political violence" rather than barbarism.
The apple doesn't fall far: Zohran's 2017 rap lyrics glorified the "Holy Land Five," a group convicted of funneling millions to Hamas.
He hasn't disavowed it. Instead, he shouts out ties to Sami Al-Arian, a Palestinian Islamic Jihad financier, through the Gaza Tribunal.
And let's not forget his refusal to condemn "globalize the intifada," a phrase that evokes violence against Jews worldwide, during the debate, even as Cuomo hammered him for sympathizing with terrorists.
Mamdani claims he's "engaged with Jewish communities" to understand their fears, but that's just more taqiyya. His actions scream support for the Muslim Brotherhood's networks, banned in Egypt, Saudi Arabia, and the UAE for funding Hamas and preaching caliphate dreams.
This isn't mere politics; it's a threat to New York's soul. While Mamdani accuses Israel of "genocide" in Gaza, parroting Hamas propaganda, he's silent on the group's war crimes, like the October 7 atrocities he vaguely condemns only when cornered.
His "defund the police" past from 2020? Now he backpedals, claiming it's about "reform." Sure, Zohran. And his BDS advocacy? That's not anti-Semitism; it's "justice." Pull the other one. New York Jews aren't "chickens voting for Colonel Sanders," as one critic put it, they're targets in Mamdani's worldview.
He's not just soft on crime; he's an enabler of ideological poison, from Qatar-funded campus radicalism to street-level intifada calls.Voters, wake up. Mamdani's taqiyya isn't self-preservation, it's a strategy to infiltrate City Hall with extremism.
Andrew Cuomo, with his Hate Crimes Task Force, or even Curtis Sliwa, offer actual security. Mamdani? He'd turn NYC into a haven for Hamas cheerleaders, all while smiling for the cameras.
But they will and blame Trump for all what happens.
Insidious Islamic.
New York is no longer a critical American city. Given the new technologies, its important functions can be done elsewhere and its central business district is no longer essential.It already has high vacancy rates. Its remaining inhabitants have few if any common values with most decent, rational, hard working Americans. Mamdani will be elected and underscores what those inhabitants want. They will be in shock when a Republican Congree cuts the flow of Biden bucks subsidies.
Commie Madmani is not the first Commie to proclaim the unaffordability of New York by raising taxes on the rich and corporations.
Why is New York so unaffordable and how can adding 2% to the income tax change anything? If anything, he will make NY even more unaffordable. THAT is his true aim.
I am surprised that Muslims are tolerating
Muslim Zohran Mamdani who is OPENLY
pro-Gay, pro-Poofter, Pro-Homosexual,
Pro-Grooming, Pro-LGBTQ+
You mean, why isn’t he a woman? That seems to be the usual muslim MO.
Really? I'm not. They know as well as he does that he's not for all that crap and that he needs to say that to get elected. Once a Muslim is installed in the mayor's office all that touchy feely I'm down with your struggle silliness will evaporate and the dumb libs will learn too late what electing a Muslim means.
Heh
Exactly
Commie Madmani's tax increase will go the same way.
Zohran Mamdani, not ready for prime time. But there he is, pushed out to centerstage, the charismatic Communist. EVERY fervent Communist who seeks the Maximum Leader position in the politics of the anthill has been charismatic, and every one of them has made promises that cannot possibly be kept.
But people never seem to learn, either from experience or from historic examples, that Lucy van Pelt never intends to let Charlie Brown deliver a good solid kick to the football.
Cantillon Effect. Most Mega corporations make their money from ..Gov.
Nope. Been there, done that.
They made their bed.
They should have named it "New London."
Or New Amsterdam.
There HAS to be a lot going on in the background to get this guy to the point of being the favorite in the New York city mayoral election.
The puzzle pieces just don't fit.
HOW MANY FINANCIAL FIRMS ARE ALREADY IN FLORIDA & TEXAS???
Nothing short of some huge disaster that causes massive pain and causes New Yorkers to repent as most are so hardened they are lost sinners forever.
>>He’s weaponizing it to mask his radical sympathies for Hamas and anti-Israel extremism, all while posing as a moderate peacemaker.
It’s odd. This is NYC, he needs no mask. Mamdani could run on a platform of “Slaughter the Jews, and behead all who insult Islam” and he would win by a landslide, including carrying 80-90% of the Jewish voters.
