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...

Anybody familiar with the war in Gaza had a right to suspect that the story was fabricated, not because sexual assaults don't happen in war, but because the story had the stench of propaganda all over it. Al Jazeera forced to retract fabricated story of IDF troops assaulting Palestinian women.The story accused, without evidence, Israeli troops of s**ually assaulting multiple Palestinian women in Shifa Hospital.The Qatari owned media outlet has...
