Hey, New York, Had Enough Of Your New Mayor Yet?

little more than two months ago, when Zohran Mamdani was still in his first days as New York City’s boy mayor, we suggested that he should be driven from office. It was that bad. Has the situation improved since then? No, it’s only become worse.

Let’s start off with the mayor hosting a Ramadan iftar dinner on March 11 at City Hall, where he was joined by Muslim city workers.

Well, isn’t that the prerogative of the mayor? After all, Christian elected officials have used government buildings for prayers and faith-based observances since the beginning of the republic.

But was this just devout Muslims practicing their religion? Or something more? Such as a public embrace of Islamism, which Center for Renewing America fellow Nathan Pinkoski describes “is best understood as a political ideology, a global project that aims to subordinate all aspects of government and civil society to Islam.”

Somali-born author and one-time Dutch lawmaker Ayaan Hirsi Ali, herself a former Muslim, has noted that “political Islam implies a constitutional order fundamentally incompatible with the U.S. Constitution and with the ‘constitution of liberty’ that is the foundation of the American way of life.”
