Ogles’ grounds for calling for Mamdani to be denaturalized is that “he may have procured U.S. citizenship through willful misrepresentation or concealment of material support for terrorism.”
Friedman thinks that’s “blatant Islamophobia.” It’s an open question whether or not she would consider any opposition to jihad terror and Sharia oppression to be “Islamophobia.”
Calling for Zohran Mamdani’s denaturalization isn’t just wrong — it’s blatant Islamophobia. It’s also anti-democratic and a disgrace to the office of a Member of Congress.
This Administration’s failure to condemn this vile attack and other forms of Anti-Muslim hate undermines…
— Rep. Laura Friedman (@RepFriedmanCA) June 27, 2025
Friedman is referring to this:
“GOP congressman calls on Trump administration to deport candidate for NYC mayor,” by George Owens, Syracuse.com, June 27, 2025:
A member of Congress is calling for the deportation of Zohran Mamdani, the Democratic candidate for New York City mayor and a United States citizen, and has written a letter to the Justice Department asking for an investigation.
Rep. Andy Ogles, a Republican from Tennessee, posted on the social media site X on Thursday a letter he sent to U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi, requesting an investigation into Mamdani claiming that “he may have procured U.S. citizenship through willful misrepresentation or concealment of material support for terrorism.”
In his request for the Trump administration to investigate Mamdani, Ogles cites as evidence rap lyrics ― from when Mamdani performed as “Mr. Cardamom” ― which said “Free the Holy Land Five, my guys.” The Holy Land Five were a group convicted in 2008 of illegally funneling money to Hamas, according to the political website The Hill.
“While I understand that some may raise First Amendment concerns about taking legal action based on expressive conduct, such as rap lyrics, speech alone does not preclude accountability where it reasonably suggests underlying conduct relevant to eligibility for naturalization,” Ogles’ letter continued.
In addition to Ogles, the New York Young Republican Club is also calling for the Mamdani’s deportation, posting on X that “The radical Zohran Mamdani cannot be allowed to destroy our beloved city of New York,” and cited the Communist Control Act, a McCarthy-era law from 1954, as a means to revoke his citizenship and deport him….

The photo of the fool looks just like a fool. How is it that so many stupid people get elected to office where they get paid to make laws for the rest of us?
And the whole thing regarding the fake ‘phobia’ is so incredibly stupid….and wrong. Anyone has a legal and moral *right* not to like….whatever they don’t like….and to fear….whatever they fear.
Bakers make chocolate, lemon, white, sponge cakes. I don’t like sponge cakes. Others may have an irrational *fear* of sponge cakes thinking they are made of sponges.
So people who bake, buy or eat sponge cakes accuse me, and those who fear, of spongecakephobia. (islam has no “o”. neither does cake..)
Why is it that so many people (idiots all) condemn others for the so-called ‘islamophobia’? People have a moral and legal *right* to not like islime.
And reps in Congress have a moral and legal **right** and a legal **responsibility** to question the mozscum running for mayor based on his words and his actions and question what are his motives
ploome says
I do agree with most of what you post, but your language diminishes the message..
no reason to spell “islime”
40 rounds says
Islam should be mocked
somehistory says
Thank you, 40
John Jake says
I second that. Islam should be mocked and responded to in a highly aggressive manner. All Christians are at war with Islam and all Christians need to realize they need to take an aggressive approach toward this vile cult.
somehistory says
My “language” is because I give no respect whatsoever to the devil’s religion, nor the adherents who lie, rape and murder for that demon.
In the Bible, those who oppose God have been called “scummy dross.” Look it up for a definition
So slime….islime..
No one has to agree with me.
BTW; what “message” am I “diminishing”/
James Lincoln says
somehistory,
I try to remember to use only lowercase letters for islam, muslims, allah, etc.
I purposely disrespect that putrid religion.
somehistory says
James, I have noticed. And thank you.
I’ve seen a few others. I say if one wants to stay with *proper* grammar, that’s their decision; but I have no intention of doing the same when it comes to evil and those who practice it.
I’ve also noticed that many use lowercase for Christianity and Christians.
I don’t try to correct them as I believe they are doing so to express their feelings
࿗Infidel࿘ says

I do likewise. It’s an orthographic jihad against islam

You beat me to it: what is it w/ these jihadist Jews? If they don’t want to fight for Israel, fine, but why do they have to take up cudgels on behalf of jihadists?

we don’t have to house, protect, educate, employ and enemies
deport them all
Lady of the lake says
One great way to cancel out all of the Islamaphobia in America is to cancel out islam in America.
James Lincoln says
Lady of the lake,
Interesting point.
There was never talk about “islamophobia” before the muslim invasion in Western countries.
࿗Infidel࿘ says
It would be a start. There would still be the Marxist antisemites and the neo-Nazi antisemites (including Candace, Tucker, Posobiec, Dave Smith, et al in that)
tgusa says
“Friedman thinks that’s “blatant Islamophobia”
It is not about you of what you think precious. It is about the millions of non-muslim Americans that could be badly affected if this sharia loving islamist and his gang gained control. If she were a Jew in a muslim country speaking out against the national interest what do you think would happen to her? So since she appears to support sharia lets play muslim for a day. Its real easy. Sit down shut up and do the only job muslims require you for, breeding.
She is a NYC transplant living in California. Today we hear complaints about Californians moving to other states but long before that California suffered from undesirables moving to California. She and others are the reason I had no other choice but to abandon my home state of California. How do you think I feel about that woman? Well I will tell you, I am not at all happy about it at all. Old California was a great place to grow up in and live. As a result of US foreigners moving there from other states its not great anymore. I dont despise her more than I do the islamist but it is close.
What is it with democrat females? I have never seen crazy on a scale such as they display.
Kick him out because he obviously lied when he recited the oath to become an America citizen.
The Oath of Allegiance is a sworn declaration that every applicant for U.S. citizenship must recite during a naturalization ceremony. The text of the oath is as follows:
“I hereby declare, on oath, that I absolutely and entirely renounce and abjure all allegiance and fidelity to any foreign prince, potentate, state, or sovereignty, of whom or which I have heretofore been a subject or citizen; that I will support and defend the Constitution and laws of the United States of America against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; and that I will take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; so help me God.”
somehistory says
The goon wants to take away guns….there goes upholding the Constitution.
He wants to take away from citizens the business of selling food, and place it within his ‘government’ control….like no more pork products or wine to go with dinner, etc.
And to have White people pay more …that’s discrimination….so much for the Law from the 60’s.
He hid the fact of his allegiance to hamas. Kick him back to Uganda..
tgusa says
No surprise he joined the democrat party. They have to have some race to discriminate against. It is in their Genes.
James Lincoln says
tgusa says,
I was stationed in California back in the 1980s.
I can say first-hand, life was good there.
Now, not so much…
tgusa says
James, I am from SoCal but I was stationed up North in the Bay area during the 80s and it was one heck of a lot better up there back then. Used to ride my motorcycle up to Golden Gate park on the weekends. Sure it was quirky and a lot different than Orange county but lots of fun.
Joe1 says
Sharia starts with Islamophobia.
Winston 101 says
Oops ! Joe 1, you seem to have a major typo.
It’s “islamophobia starts with islam”.
Hope that helps.
skeptiker says
Der in Amerika unter Islamophobie leidende Mamdani sollte schnellstens durch eine Ausbürgerung und Hilfestellung für einen Asylantrag in ein islamistisches Land seiner Wahl von seinem Leiden erlöst werden.

jerry glenn says
On the contrary. You are guilty of Islamopandering.
John Pepple says
Any leftist who whines about Islamophobia is basically saying they are ok with Muslims destroying the left.
Ewanda says
When I’m accused of Islamophobia, I counter with, ” No …. I’m Islam-informed ….” which seems to thrust them into a polite state of thoughtfulness. If they continue to berate, then I say until they get informed with a similar level of knowledge as we have, it’s just a waste of time to try for a worthwhile discussion, but don’t hesitate to come back when they’ve done some homework. Therefore the true answer to the accusation of Islamophobia is Islam-informed
OLD GUY says
Everyone in America needs to be islam-informed!
Winston 101 says
What a great ,and much needed, term. Thank you. I will adopt it immediately.
andarango says
If I don’t consent to women being stoned, to sisters being murdered for family honor, if I condemn female genital mutilation and other forms of misogyny, and especially to the killing of Jews and other infidels—if I reject all of the above, it makes me an Islamophobe, and I am proudly one. It seems that brainwashing children leaves the brain atrophied and primitive.
Ewanda says
You just demonstrated that you are Islam-informed. It’s a good word, it’s a useful word, it should be adopted.

I value your opinion most of all after following your commentaries over the years in Jihad Watch. Thank you

Islamophobia is good. Read the Koran. The whole point of Islam is to enslave or murder all non-believers. What’s not to like about Islamophobia?
Ewanda says
Another Islam-informed contributor. Thumbs up for your efforts
Controse says
Islamophobia is a good thing. If you are an Islamophobe you have an active survival instinct.
