The Shadow Of Terror: Zohran Mamdani's Radical Islam Problem

Zohran Mamdani's candidacy for New York City mayor in 2025 raises concerns due to his religious and political views. He adheres to the Shi'a Twelver sect, a branch of Islam with potentially problematic implications regarding allegiance to Iranian leadership. This sect believes in the absolute authority of the Ayatollah which raises questions about his loyalty to the U.S. Constitution. Mamdani's association with groups like CAIR and ICNA, linked to the Muslim Brotherhood, further fuels concerns about his support for extremist ideologies. These groups have been designated as terrorist organizations. Notably, Mamdani's visiting a radical mosque where the imam called for the destruction of Israel has drawn scrutiny. Furthermore, the principle of taqiyya, allowing Muslims to deceive for the advancement of Islam, raises questions about his trustworthiness. The alliance between Shi'a and Sunni jihadists, exemplified by the World Forum for Proximity of Islamic Schools of Thought, underscores the complexity of Islamist cooperation. Mamdani's economic policies as a democratic socialist also pose a threat to the city. Considering his views, Mamdani's fitness to lead New York City is being questioned.
