New in PJ Media:
One thing that can be said that’s favorable about Zohran Mamdani, the avowed socialist who is almost certain to be the next mayor of New York City: he loves his parents. That fact is, however, not as heartwarming as it might be under different circumstances.
The New York Post revealed Sunday that “Hamas-backing Qatar has bankrolled film and stage projects by socialist Zohran Mamdani’s Israel-bashing movie-director mom — and one of its royals is now pushing her son’s mayoral bid.”
Now, Zohran Mamdani is his own man, and what his mother has done has nothing whatsoever to do with his mayoral bid, right? Nor does it shed any light on his own views, right? Sure. After all, the candidate’s father, Mahmood Mamdani, a Marxist professor at Columbia University, said back in June that “we hadn’t bargained for being parents of a prospective mayor,” and appeared anxious to downplay any idea that he or Zohran’s mother, Mira Nair, had influenced young Zohran unduly: “He’s his own person. Now, of course what we do as his parents is part of the environment in which he grew up, and he couldn’t help but engage with it. That doesn’t mean anything is reflected back on us.”
Zohran’s mom, however, took a sharply different view, saying: “I don’t agree! Of course the world we live in, and what we write and film and think about, is the world that Zohran has very much absorbed.”
Of course he did. And that world seems to have been to a large extent funded by Qatar, the Muslim Brotherhood-supporting emirate from which Hamas top dogs watched the Oct. 7 jihad massacres, and got on their knees to thank Allah for allowing them to murder a large number of Jews. The Post noted that “Sheikha Al-Mayassa bint Hamad Al-Thani, sister to the ruling emir, and the state-funded cultural institutions she controls, have supported Mira Nair and her creative projects since at least 2009, even extending a personal invitation to participate in the cultural program the country organized as part of the festivities around hosting the 2022 World Cup.”
Since young Mamdani became the Democrats’ mayoral nominee, that support has only increased: “Since mid-June, Sheikha Al-Thani has taken to promoting Mamdani’s mayoral candidacy on social media, boosting news of favorable polling on Instagram and posting fire emojis under a TikTok video of him embracing Nair.”
The links between Mira Nair and rich Qataris go back at least to 2009, when Nair’s movie Amelia “opened the first-ever Doha Tribeca Film Festival in the Gulf regime’s capital.” This funding seems to have focused particularly on whitewashing Islamic jihad violence and shifting the blame for it to America, as in Nair’s 2012 movie The Reluctant Fundamentalist, which portrays a Pakistani Muslim turning to jihad after American officials are unkind to him.
There is more. Read the rest here.

Mira Nair is a POS who can’t croak fast enough. There used to be a lot of elitist snobs in India back in the day (talking about the 80s) who used to hail her as a filmmaker
If her son gets elected, I dearly hope that she ends up as the victim of one of his easy-on-crime policies

He and his family will have police protection that he will deny everyone else.
Follow the money and it’s usually Qatar poisoning the west with any means possible-
Communism, anti Israel propaganda and funding our universities to be anti American.

Not wanting to get to off the main subject of this article, nevertheless, it is rather interesting that Zohran Mamdani is on record of saying “ I hate Africans .” This might be reflection of real spirit of Islam toward black people, two Christians who are also authors revealed in the book about the prophet and founder of Islam, Muhammad, the person who all Muslims greatly admire and view and a perfect example for them to emulate was man that “He personally owned two ‘black slave…he endorsed sex slavery as a gift from Allah.. In the every next page of that same book I also informs the reader that “Islam had enslaved more people than any other culture.” [1]
Likewise , a scholar on Islam who is an Arab woman and speakers and reads Arabic and uses to live in one the those countries on the Middle East had exposes in her book that the prophet of Islam ,Muhammad referred to Blacks as “ ‘raisin heads’ several time in the hadith [1:663:9:256]”Her book also reveals that “Throughout the hadith blacks are also referred to as abeds, which means ‘black in Arabic and is also synonymous with the word “slave’ and filth.” In fact ,Arab Muslims have enslaved blacks for 1,400 years and the Black slave trade is still thriving in Sudan and Mauritania.” Further in her same book the author reveals that “Most interesting, though, is the even though black slavery by Muslims began long ago , almost no descends of those slaves are alive today in the Muslim world. Why is there no black culture in the Middle East ? Most slaves were either killed or died from being worked to death.” [2]

James Lincoln says
Mamdani is a commie Jew-hating jihadi.
Once one understands that fact, everything else falls into place.
OLD GUY says
Qatar supporting a political candidate in America, go figure. Why not Qatar dumps millions into our higher education system to spread muslim/islamic propaganda.
A VOTE against Mamdani is vote for America and Freedom.
Brenrod says
How many non citizens will be enabled to vote in the NYC election thus diluting the votes of American citizens. That is the only way that Qatar could get their stooge elected.
WPM says
Listen progressive democrats are so loyal to their voting for progressive commies they will vote even after they are dead and buried for years.no ID voting in NYC, same day registration voting .Registered to vote when applying for a drivers license .No proof of citizenship to get a drivers license in many blue states.
