1. On your college applications, you checked two boxes: one that you are “Indian” and a second, that you are “Black or African-American.” You have explained that you only wanted to convey a nicely nuanced picture, bringing to bear all sides of your identity. Was that really the motive? What do you say to white people who claim you were doing it to take advantage of affirmative action programs that were then in force? And what do you say to African-Americans who are angry that you were exploiting their identity to fulfill your own ambitions, and you thereby damaged the chances of a real African-American candidate who might not have been admitted because you had instead taken his place in the “black or African-American” quota? If you were filling out an admissions application today, which boxes would you check?
2. You used to deny that the state of Israel “has a right to exist.” More recently, you have changed that, assuring supporters of Israel that you recognize the right of Israel to exist. But you still refuse, despite many requests, to recognize the right of Israel to exist as a Jewish state. Why is that? Do you refuse to recognize the right of the 22 states that are members of the Arab League to declare themselves to be “Arab states”? What is the difference?
3. You have accused Israel of “genocide” in Gaza. What data do you think justifies such a monstrous charge? Hamas says that 57,000 Gazans have been killed in Gaza since October 7, 2023. Of that number, the IDF says that about 24,000 were Hamas combatants. In addition, deaths from diseases and accidents in Gaza have historically amounted to 800 monthly, which means that in the 21 months of war, 16,800 Gazans died of non-combat-related causes. If we deduct that number from the total of 33,000 civilian deaths, we have 16,200 deaths in Gaza from the war. 16,200 deaths is still regrettable, the result of Hamas practice of embedding its fighters and its weapons in civilian areas, but it is much less than 1% of Gaza’s population of 2.2 million. Do the deaths of fewer than 1% of a population, in your view, constitute “genocide”? Juridically, the crime of “genocide” also requires intent. Do you think the Israelis, who have dropped millions of leaflets, sent millions of text messages, made millions of robocalls, all to warn civilians away from areas about to be targeted, “intended” to kill civilians? Isn’t it true that the IDF makes every effort to minimize civilian casualties, while Hamas makes every effort to maximize them?
4. As a Muslim, do you believe, as it says in the Qur’an, that the Jews are “the strongest in enmity to the Muslims”? Do you believe that when the Muslims and the Jews fight at the en of days, “The stones and trees will say O Moslems, O Abdulla, there is a Jew behind me, come and kill him”?
5. As a Muslim, do you agree that Muslims must not take “Christians and Jews as friends, for they are friends only with each other”?
6. As a Muslim, do you believe, as Quran 3:110 says, that “Muslims are the best of peoples”?
7. As a Muslim, do you believe, as Qur’an 98:6 says, that non-Muslims “are the most vile of created beings”?
8. As a Muslim, Mr. Mamdani, what do you think of Muhammad’s boast, in a celebrated hadith, that “I have been made victorious through terror”?
9. As a Muslim, Zohran — may I call you that? — what do you think of Muhammad’s remark that “war is deceit”?
10. As a Muslim, what do you think of little Aisha being betrothed to Muhammad being when she was six years old, and then consummating the marriage — that is, he had sexual intercourse with her — when she was nine years old and he was 54?
11. As a Muslim, do you agree with Muhammad’s declaration that “Islam must dominate and not be dominated”?
12. Are you worried, Zohran, about the fate of Christians in Muslim lands? Since 2011, the Christian population in Syria has fallen from 1.5 million in 2011 to just 300,000 in 2022. In Iraq, the Christian population, predominately Assyrian, has decreased from 1.3 million in 2003, the year that the Christians lost their protector Saddam Hussein, and were then subject to attacks by Sunni Muslims, to 130,000 today. The Christians in Bethlehem have gone from being 80% of the town’s population in 1950 to a mere 10% in 2025. To what do you attribute such colossal decreases in the Christian populations everywhere in the Middle East, except in one place — Israel?

“War is deceit.” A pillar of Islam.

Good questions… really good….but he won’t honestly answer them. He doesn’t have enough power and control, as yet.
If he wins in his “fight” to beat out the other candidates, he’ll have more room for acknowledging the things he said before are the way he really feels. The things most mo’s say about Israel, Jews, Christians and their goal of complete takeover.

Another pol saying whom he really represents
“Democrat Massachusetts Sen. Ed Markey on Wednesday posted a job listing on X for his Boston office, specifically encouraging “BIPOC, LGBTQ+, working class, and other underrepresented candidates” to apply.
Democrats over the years have consistently advocated for diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives, expanding into sectors like business — most notably progressing federally under the Biden-Harris administration. In a post on X, the Democrat senator openly called for specific societal groups to apply for his office’s fall 2025 internship, notably leaving out any advocacy for white or male applicants.”

With Muslims Islam incomes first, not country, not family. They operate in hate. You cannot reason with Muslims. They have an agenda which is well known is to make the whole world Islam. They do not assimilate and will lie to bring their agenda to fruition. People need to be aware, Muslims are not your friends and DO NOT belong in our government. We already have 2 which 2 too many. People beware when you vote it could come back to haunt you. In God we trust.

The “grassroots” campaign of Momdani is funded by out of state billionaires from Hollywood and big tech (Gates family).
People of NYC should be very afraid of the elitist takeover that imposes equality(poverty) on everyone else.
Rarely says
Cynthia,
Your allegations would be very interesting…if true.
What evidence do you have to back them up?

Follow the money. And what socialist/communist country has not resulted in authoritarian rule by the richer elite.
It is never classless. Read history.

1. I think he ticked a box claiming that he’s Asian and another about being Black/African. I heard Jessica Tarlov on Fox say that it was a shortcoming of the campus in question, which didn’t have more specific boxes that would have been accurate for him. Otoh, Greg Gutfeld pointed out that the reason he didn’t check “Indian” ever was that they’re not an oppressed group, at least not in the US. I differ w/ them on the following point: I don’t believe he considers himself “Indian”, even though he supposedly is conversant in Urdu, Gujarati & Bengali. Anyway, in addition to being antisemitic, he’s also anti-Hindu, and has condemned the building of the Ram temple in Ayodhya. Maybe he could described himself as being Pakistani or Bangladeshi, the latter since he’s both a muslim and conversant in Bengali
4. I believe that he probably thinks that the Hindus are worse than Jews in terms of enmity towards muslims, although that one could be a toss-up

He has never done anything, so what makes these voters think he can run NY City? Just about any 16 year old has as much experience at running a city as he has. He needs to be dog catcher first.
