One Picture Should End Mamdani’s Bid for NYC Mayor

NYC Mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani demanded to know if Andrew Cuomo had ever attended a mosque during the debate last week. Of course, Cuomo stated no. Mamdani is more than just a Muslim and it shows every day. And not just a plain ole’ “socialist”. Nowhere is that more evident than a picture posted on social media that he seems to think was perfectly normal. Mamdani’s bid for Mayor of New York City should be over from that one picture alone.

Zohran Mamdani was pictured smiling with City Councilmember Yusef Abdus Salaam on Friday when they met with Imam Siraj Wahhaj. For those who have never heard of Wahhaj, he is the leader of The Muslim Alliance in North America. He was also mentioned by the leader of the Muslim enclave that was raided by authorities in New Mexico several years ago. Mamdani was at the Imam’s Masjid (Mosque), so it’s no wonder Cuomo never went there.

“Wahhaj, 75, who also heads the Muslim Alliance in North America, was fingered by prosecutors as an “unindicted co-conspirator” in the 1993 WTC bombing, which left six people dead, and has publicly defended the plotters of the attack against the FBI and CIA, whom he at the time dubbed the “real terrorists.”

The imam has previously denied any connection to terrorism.

During subsequent trials, Wahhaj testified in support of Sheik Omar Abdel Rahman — the infamous “blind sheikh” and leader of a terrorist sect out of Egypt — calling the man a “respected scholar.”

In a sermon in the early 2000s, Wahhaj — born Jeffrey Kearse — called for an army of 10,000 men to wage what he insisted was a gun-free jihad on New York City, according to a foreign intelligence assessment obtained Saturday by The Post.

The religious figure also made headlines in 2018 when three of his children were arrested for keeping 11 kids living in “Third World” conditions in a compound made of garbage in the New Mexico desert.

One of the victims told prosecutors Wahhaj’s namesake son was "training a 13-year-old and his teen brother to fight against non-believers through techniques including rapid reloads and hand-to-hand combat.”
