Beset by heart-wrenching tragedies, Muslims worldwide clutch at any straw, hoping it would bring some relief.
The ongoing genocidal war on Gaza and the West Bank, and zionist Israel’s incessant attacks on Lebanon and Syria, have left Muslims deeply despondent.
Their helplessness is deepened by the impotence of Arabian and Muslim regimes in the face of such egregious crimes.
Thus, most Muslims have greeted Zohran Mamdani’s election as mayor of New York City with jubilation.
Without belittling its signifcance, it is important to have a realistic assessment of this development.
True, Mamdani’s victory is unprecedented.
He ran against entrenched establishment figures, especially Andrew Cuomo, the former governor of New York state, and handily beat him despite the Democratic party establishment’s support for him.
No such excitement was displayed when two cities previously elected Muslim mayors: Amer Ghalib in Hamtramck and Abdullah Hamoud in Dearborn, both in Michigan state.
Their victories, though breaking barriers, did not generate so much excitement because they were elected in small cities with significant Muslim populations.
In Mamdani’s case, he was elected in New York City, the financial capital of the US.
Muslims comprise only one million in a population of more than nine million New Yorkers.
So, it wasn’t the Muslim vote that put him into the mayor’s office.
He built a broad coalition of diverse groups that necessitated making compromises on many vital issues, including social and political.
Let us consider some of these issues to make a realistic assessment of what awaits him as mayor of a city that has the largest number of billionaires in the world.
The vast majority of them are zionists.
New York City also has the largest concentration of Jewish people outside Israel.
True, 34-year-old Mamdani is articulate with a disarming smile.
While Muslims have applauded his announcement to arrest Benjamin Mileikowsky (aka Netanyahu) if he sets foot in New York, Mamdani has also been forced to make serious compromises.
Since there is an arrest warrant issued by the International Criminal Court against Netanyahu, Mamdani said he will implement it.
He has called Israeli genocide in Gaza but then denounced Hamas’s October 7, 2023 operation against the zionist occupiers as “terrorism”.
He says he does not support Hamas.
That is his a choice but he cannot take away from the occupied the right to resist their occupiers “by any means necessary”.
That right has been recognized by the overwhelming majority of members of the United Nations, not once but twice, and is enshrined in international law.
On what basis does Mamdani then reject the consensus of the vast majority of the world’s population, especially in favour of the 10 million oppressed Palestinians?
One opinion posits that he has to denounce the October 7, 2023 operation in order to avoid being accused of being a “Hamas supporter”.
If this is meant to appease the zionists, then he must know that they will not be satisfied with anything less than total surrender.
If he has adopted this stand, against all moral principles, in order to win support of Jewish New Yorkers, then they are not really his supporters.
They are people demanding their pound of flesh.
Before Muslims celebrate his voctory, they should realize that Mamdani is operating in a system that thrives on corruption and exploitation.
Zio-capitalism will never allow anyone to succeed if his agenda is to help the oppressed.
New York governor Kathy Hochul has already declared that she will not support increasing taxes on the rich, especially the zio-billionaires.
To implement his policies, Mamdani will have to get the support of the New York Assembly members and the state governor.
In the past, he twice tried to introduce a bill in the assembly to stop funds being sent by New York Jewish billionaires to finance zionist war crimes in Palestine.
He failed on both occasions.
So, how is he going to finance free childcare for New York families, run free buses or implement rent controls?
The zio-billionaires may have failed in preventing him from being elected mayor, but they are not done yet.
They will do everything to frustrate his plans and then blame it on his being a “Muslim”.
Mamdani’s Muslim credentials must also be examined.
His mother, Mira Nair is Hindu.
True, this is not Zohran’s fault.
It reflects his father’s lack of understanding of Islam (Muslims are not permitted to marry mushrik women: Surat al-Baqarah, verse 221).
But it is his choice when he participates in Hindu celebrations or attends the Hindu temple.
Yet, he also loudly proclaims his Muslim identity.
Equally disconcerting is his embrace of gender-based identity.
A clear majority of Americans oppose this deliberately-created gender confusion and sexual anarchy.
So, before Muslims celebrate Mamdani’s victory, they should reflect on whether becoming mayor of the zio-billionaires’ dominated city is such a great achievement after all.
