Today at Masjid At-Taqwa, I had the pleasure of meeting with Imam Siraj Wahhaj, one of the nation’s foremost Muslim leaders and a pillar of the Bed-Stuy community for nearly half a century. I was also joined by CM @dr_yusefsalaam of Harlem. A beautiful Jummah. pic.twitter.com/4kcN4CGlUk

Siraj Wahhaj has for years been one of the most prominent imams in the United States, and is much in demand on the Islamic lecture circuit. He was designated a “potential unindicted co-conspirator” in the 1993 World Trade Center bombing. He earned the designation by sponsoring talks in the early 1990s by the Blind Sheikh, Omar Abdel Rahman, in mosques in New York City and New Jersey; Rahman was later convicted for conspiring to blow up the World Trade Center in 1993.
Wahhaj has also warned that the United States will fall unless it “accepts the Islamic agenda.” He has also asserted that “if only Muslims were clever politically, they could take over the United States and replace its constitutional government with a caliphate.”
Wahhaj’s son, Siraj ibn Wahhaj, operated a jihad training compound in a remote area of New Mexico, intending to train children for school shootings. A young boy was found dead there.

We never did get the rest of the ‘story’ on the little boy who died….from starvation or abuse to ‘cleanse’ him.
What about the other children being ‘trained’ to murder….can’t recall seeing any more to the story after the initial reports..
Not only this terrorist cohort, but many terror groups are campaigning for the dam mani.

All that is said about MaDdani no one dares mentioning he is a Muslim whose agenda is to make everyone Followers of Islam. NYC will be sorry electing a radical Islamist. God help us we don’t need more Muslims in our government.
Anna Yelena says
I think I’m wasting my time making comments.
࿗Infidel࿘ says
No, you’re not. It’s another thing that most New Yorkers – the people who really matter – are totally oblivious to the fact that they may as well be electing a Mohammed Atta as their next mayor

Anna, your comments are very good.
࿗Infidel࿘ says
I daresay Mamdani is right in this case

Mamdani calls accomplice of 1993 World Trade Center bombing mastermind ‘one of the nation’s foremost Muslim leaders’
………………………………………………………………….
He’s not wrong–and what does that say about Islam?
During the trial of Omar Abdel Rahman (known as the “Blind Sheikh”)—who was convicted of masterminding the plot—Wahhaj testified on his behalf, calling him a “respected scholar”. He has publicly defended some of the individuals involved in the attack and has referred to the FBI and CIA as the “real terrorists”.

I guess Qatar big influence in this country is showing .Do you know Qatar bankrolls Zohran Mamdani,s mom in her movie making ,without their big bucks she would go broke? So besides backing Hamas , they are backing a jihadist running for mayor of NYC?
OLD GUY says
No surprise Qatar and Saudi Arabia bank role our higher education system. Their political support is most likely behind all pro muslim/islamic candidates.

First. It has been, rightly said “A person can discern the true character of a man by who he chooses to be his friends and associates.” In other words, the company he keeps reveals what he’s really like.
This photograph of Zohran Mamdani with his friends divulges much about him.
Second , Mamdani had had earlier declared the one of his goals for Islam is to “Globalize the Intifada,” That’s one of his reason why he refuses to condemn or denounce worldwide, international , Muslim terrorism. Mamdani, would not ,naturally, want to have the Muslims of the city who voted for him to become digested with him.
Related to this subject is one concept that many Americans just don’t understand that term used, which is “political Islam.” That term is nonsensical and redundant as well as unknown in the Islamic world.
First, that term being nonsensical one devout Muslim who, truly, proclaimed “Islam is Islam.”
Second. as for that term being redundant, has been well explained by none other Ayatollah Khomeini who declared” All Islam is politics.” [1]

Walter Sieruk says
That, maybe, soon to be mayor of New York City Zohran Mamdani wants the police to top responding to crimes committed by Muslims. Especially if those crimes
committed against the Jewish people of NYC.
Likewise, Mamdani had earlier said that “Israel should not exist.”
In addition, Mamdani is member of a mosque that called for the annihilation of the Jewish State of Israel. After all, Islam is very ant-Jewish and therefore anti- Israel.
Mamdani is very anti-Jewish and likewise anti- Israel So much so that before he had decided to run for mayor, he had declared that he wanted to “Globalize the Intifada “To this very day he has not denounced or retracted that statement.
The former US President, William Howard Taft had, wisely, declared in a speech “Antisemitism is a noxious weed that should be cur out. It has no place in America.”
Therefore, that dangerous anti- Jewish Muslim, Mamdani, is, in essence, therefore very un-American.
As the former US President, Theodore Roosevelt, had well-spoken when he declared in a speech “There can be no fifty-fifty Americanism in this country. There is only room here for only hundred percent Americanism, only for those who are Americans and nothing else.”

I see three jihadist laughing it up these progressive idiots who will vote this piece of human excrement in do not know what they are in for .
