Victimhood always plays well on the left, and so Sharpton is using it here to try to propel Mamdani into Gracie Mansion. No one aside from a few nuts and agents provocateurs has actually ever labeled every Muslim a terrorist, but leftists and Muslim spokesmen like to trot out this charge frequently as a centerpiece of their bogus claims of “Islamophobia.”
Meanwhile, Sharpton also says “I embrace the Muslim community to come from the shadows.”
Yeah, the Muslim community is so much in the shadows that they’re taking over Times Square for public prayer.
“Sharpton blasts ‘ugly Islamophobia’ in NYC mayoral race as Mamdani attacks Trump on welfare cuts,” by Michael Dorgan, Fox News, November 1, 2025:
The Rev. Al Sharpton on Saturday slammed what he called “ugly Islamophobia” sweeping New York City’s mayoral race, accusing some of labeling every Muslim a terrorist to attack Democratic candidate Zohran Mamdani.
Sharpton, an MSNBC host and progressive activist, was speaking at an event he was hosting for Mamdani in Harlem, and the mayoral candidate was throwing jabs too, accusing President Donald Trump of smearing and gutting welfare programs. The democratic socialist drew parallels to the Reconstruction-era agency created to help newly freed slaves to hammer home his point.
The pair were joined by Pastor Miles Travis Boyd, whose mother died on 9/11, as well as other faith leaders.
“I am outraged at the ugly Islamophobia that has been used in this campaign to act as though every Muslim is a terrorist and to act like something ugly, as what happened to us on 9/11 is an insult to the intelligence of all New Yorkers,” Sharpton told a lively crowd at the House of Justice, his National Action Network headquarters.
“If you can’t get a vote on your record, don’t play us against each other.”
Former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo faced criticism from Mamdani after Cuomo’s exchange with radio host Sid Rosenberg, who claimed Mamdani would be “cheering” if another 9/11 happened. Cuomo had argued during the segment that Mamdani was unprepared to lead the city in a time of crisis.
After Sharpton’s remarks on Saturday, Cuomo denied accusations of Islamophobia and said comments from Republican Councilwoman Inna Vernikov — who has endorsed him and has been accused of making inflammatory statements — were hers alone. Cuomo, in turn, accused Mamdani of fueling division and antisemitism for allegedly refusing to denounce calls for an “intifada” and for making past statements he described as offensive toward Jews.
Sharpton also argued Saturday that just showing up at someone’s campaign or shaking their hand doesn’t mean you share blame for whatever they’ve been accused of. Sharpton was likely referencing a meeting Mamdani had last week with Siraj Wahhaj, a Brooklyn imam who is an unindicted co-conspirator in the 1993 World Trade Center bombing and who has been linked to other terrorist activity in the United States.
Sharpton said he denounced both the Oct. 7, 2023, terrorist attacks in Israel and the subsequent war in Gaza.
“I’m against Islamophobia. But to bring it into the politics of the biggest city in the world should not be allowed to go unchecked,” Sharpton said. “We are not going to sit by silently while they do this. We are Christian. I’m a born-again Baptist, but I embrace the Muslim community to come from the shadows. The Jewish community to come from the shadows. And let’s walk down Broadway together.”…

Tough call here: Who is a lower life between Mamdani and Sharpton? I say Mamdani but I could see “votes for Sharpton.”
As for who is the greater menace, this one is an easy call, to wit, the young asshole about to become the next mayor of NYC on the eve of the 25th anniversary of 9/11 when, a la Omar, “some things happened to some people.”
The West remains in huge trouble, including America. Chief causes here in no particular order: 1) Islam; 2) Leftism; 3) willful ignorance of the Bush 43 kind.
James Lincoln says
Wellington says,
“The West remains in huge trouble, including America. Chief causes here in no particular order: 1) Islam; 2) Leftism; 3) willful ignorance of the Bush 43 kind.”
Very tragically, yes, yes – and yes.
Westman says
Sharpton-Mamdani, a fatal mixture. NYC must have an economic death wish. Free stuff, Free stuff, come and get it says Mamdani. If you want more exquisite stuff, sticky fingers and hammers are sensitive tools for the discriminating valedictorian.
Is it racism to say that Al Sharpton is a media-injecting, attention addict who still rides the coattails of a real past leader, MLK – and is selling the snake oil, the soft racism of low expectations? Have you, Sharpton’s voters, been better off with Al Sharpton trolling the media forever? You deserve intact families – are you getting policies that secure that for generations?
Both Sharpton and Mamdani are intent on causing maximum dependency in the population, taxing and spending other people’s money on society-destroying policies until business has left and the money literally runs out with it.

” faith leaders.” That’s a misnomer, if there ever was one. Anyone standing with the muzzie goon, is **not** a “faith leader.”
And not so ‘sharp’ ton, pretends to be a ‘man of God,’ being called “reverend,” which he has never been, should know that “standing” or “sitting” with someone who is evil, is condemned in the Bible.
It’s obvious that no so sharp ton is no Bible reader, much less a scholar; and he shouldn’t be attempting to tell others what to do. His association with the muzzie, proves just how worthless are his words.
Ps. 26: 3 “New International Version
I do not sit with the deceitful, nor do I associate with hypocrites.
New Living Translation
I do not spend time with liars or go along with hypocrites.”
I hate the mob of evildoers, and refuse to sit with the wicked.”
(note the word “hate”)
…
‘Proverbs 4:14-15
Do not set foot on the path of the wicked or walk in the way of evildoers. / Avoid it; do not travel on it. Turn from it and pass on by.
1 Corinthians 15:33
Do not be deceived: “Bad company corrupts good character.”
NYC may be changed to ‘puke city.’
Wellington says
If Sharpton, somehistory, is a “man of God” then God goofed and if God exists I don’t think God goofs.
somehistory says
Wellington, I agree. I feel sure God exists. And He never makes mistakes.
Jesus had titles for such as sharpton….”false prophets” and “wolves in sheep’s clothing,” to name two.
somehistory says
An error: should read Ps. 26:4. Verse 3 “For Your loving devotion is before my eyes, and I have walked in Your truth.”
Which is an important verse ignored by those supporting the muzzie liar.

Suzanne says
I do not subscribe to any religious faith (atheist) but I was raised Christian (catholic) and I really appreciate your bible quotes. I hope those quotes show the blind hypocrisy that current “woke” Christians are promoting. I hope the Christian’s regain their strength in faith and truly wake up to the evils attacking them.
somehistory says
Suzanne Thank you for your very nice reply. I, too, hope that.
Walter Sieruk says
So, Al Sharpton is feeling outraged ! Who cares ?
GYX says
Sharpton? 🤮 🤮 🤮
Mamdani? 🤮 🤮 🤮
NY will be doomed if commie Mamdani gets elected; will these young ignorant commie supporters ever learn? Time to stop feeding the beast and stop any and all federal tax payers’ backed funds to NY.
Walter Sieruk says
This photograph of those two evil and sinister characters standing right next to each joining their hands together is a very good reminder that the Bible informs its reader that “Though hand join in hand, the wicked shall be unpunished.” Proverbs 11:21 [K,J.V.]
somehistory says
“King James Bible
Though hand join in hand, the wicked shall not be unpunished: but the seed of the righteous shall be delivered.”
**” not “
Walter Sieruk says
Yes, you are right. To my shame I had forgotten to very carefully proofs read that Bible verse and didn’t keyboard the word “not’ in it .
That verse really should read “Though hand join in hand, the wicked shall not be unpunished.” Proverbs 11:21 [K,J.V.]
Thanks for letting be know about that.mistake.
somehistory says
Thank you, Walter. We all make typos; it’s a human thing. And it’s a sign of humility to admit to making mistakes.
People like sharpton do not know humility.

Quite amazing

To pay his federal taxes he has owed
For many years why does he get off not paying

For the same reason he didn’t suffer from the rape hoax….other people even paid what he was supposed to pay to a guy he slandered/libeled. He’s a slippery snake.

It’s not Islamophobia when:
They defund the police.
Antisemitism.
Sex trade (human trafficking).
Muslim rape gangs.
Wanting to arrest the leader of Israel (how can you do that when you’ve defunded the police!)
Supports any terrorist group starting with ‘H’.
Random knife attacks screaming “aloha snackbarr”! &
Fly planes into buildings screaming “aloha snackbarr”!
Muenster says
If mamdani wins, it’s a good thing. Money will flow to red states, but the downside is very fickle conservatives who wil like to elect weak Republican will come in, and along with fo course mostly liberals like Austinites.
Once mamdani is done with nyc , republicans may have a chance at it.
Can someone answer me why trumps approval is so low and sinking rapidly? Is America become that ignorant?
tgusa says
I am outraged that Al the racist wont just drop dead. Islam is incompatible with this nation and has been since it’s founding. Besides, President Trump said that voting for the communist socialist jihadist is a bad thing to do so we can count on the left to do it. Trump should tell the left that eating tide pods is a really bad thing to do. That would be a public service. And finally, since it’s founding, the party that Al is part of (democrat), didn’t want his kind around unless they were slaves. I am so tired of the left. The recent SNAP revelations have me even more outraged. Our hard earned dollars going to support communist/socialist/jihadists. If that is what they want to be let them fund their own and leave the rest of us Americans out of it. We dont want to support them with our hard earned tax dollars. We dont want to be their monetary slaves anymore. Forget No Kings, how about no Anti-American communist/socialist/jihadist leeches instead?
somehistory says
I read a report yesterday which gave the numbers on those getting wic and snap; and illegals get more than citizens.
And this morning, a report on some young republicans wanting to use the 14th Amendment about supporting insurrection to keep the damn mani out of office. Probably too late.
When I was young and not so well-informed as some, and things went wrong, the saying was, “It’s enough to make a preacher cuss.” Now I know a lot of them do things that make the rest of us want to curse.
Tharmon says
Islam is 1400 years of lies and terror.

Leftism is a mental illness. They cry DIE-versity while they vote for a communist jihadist. So much for their inclusive coalition. Back in the day that would be called reckless endangerment.

A Patriot and drastic measures are needed! The city attacked by Muslims is now about to become Muslim? Are you all nuts??
Dr K says
Hey Al I’m glad you’re outraged
Now fuck off you dickhead
Sharia Is Shit – We Will NEVER Tolerate It !
Troybeam says
Al Sharpton never lets an opportunity to be seen again go to waste. False in everything he does, speaks as well. Has he ever paid all the back taxes he owes? How much is Mamdani paying him to stand next to him for endorsement?
Either way Sharpton is simple a sleezeball.
GianCarlo MATTA says
good: let them put mamdani to the test, then probably many voters will regret it.
it will be enough to keep him under observation.
jerry glenn says
Al Sharpton, Islamopanderer-in-chief, has spoken.
JustJim says
His endorsement of Mamdani should tell anyone, everything they need to know about this muzzy scum.

The long time anti semitic Inciter of the Crown Heights murderous pogrom against Jews forgot his own outrageous murder.

jewdog says
The most virulent anti-Israel people on the planet are a subset of Jews, Blacks, Gays and the Irish. They project their experiences of oppression onto the presumptively victimized Palestinians. It’s a tribute to the Mirror Image Fallacy, where psychological projection and ignorance come together to pay homage to Islamist propaganda.
abu taleb says
Why there is no Christophobia?
The Christians are either stupid or coward. Or, they are selfish that as long as they are not affected, they will keep silent.
somehistory says
Jesus, the Lord and Master of Christians said, “My kingdom is no part of this world.”
Christians trust Him. This is not stupidity, cowardice or selfishness. It’s obedience to Christ.
Bradly Meagher says
Mr somehistory,
Let’s get it straight… Jesus, my Savior, has said his kingdom is not of this world. We *Jesus people trust him – for having paid an awful price for our redemption. This is not stupidity, cowardice, nor selfishness. It’s: “He who has been forgiven much, loves much.” There is a difference.
Mr. abu taleb
ISLAM is Christophobic. Al Sharpton does not speak for us believers in Jesus The Christ. Looking at Mr. Sharpton’s life’s focus, it is quite obvious where his heart is.
These politicians and their quisling proponents are just pawns on the stage of human history, under the authority of the god of this world. Yes, destruction will happen, yes people will suffer greatly, and many will die as this lost world continues down its evil ways – just as in the days of Noah. That’s why there is such a thing as the Great Commission: To love our fellow man such as to present the simple message of the Gospel in hopes of persuading the few who will see Jesus for who he really is, what he has done to provide the only way back to the Father, and thereby put their trust only in him for their salvation from God’s soon coming wrath on sin.
It’s not too late to have another look at Jesus.
* And don’t call me a Christian. Christianity™ is just another religion, like all other religions (including a-theism), where people attempt to elevate themselves to God, or to be as God.
gravenimage says
Bradly Meagher–I assure you you don’t need to school Somehistory–whosis not a mister–on Jesus. And abu taleb is a long time Anti-Jihadist here.
somehistory says
Thanks much, g. I don’t feel the need to answer him as your response is priceless.
I find much of his post as a misunderstanding of Christ and His Father.
Acts, in two verses calls those who follow Christ, Christians. “… it was first in Antioch that the disciples were by divine providence called Christians.+”
“But Agripʹpa said to Paul: “In a short time you would persuade me to become a Christian.”
And the Apostle Peter wrote: “But if anyone suffers as a Christian, let him not feel ashamed, but let him keep on glorifying God while bearing this name.”
Thanks again.
࿗Infidel࿘ says
Trying to remember – how friendly was/is Al Sharpton to Louis Farrakhan and the Nation of islam?
gravenimage says
They have no formal affiliation, but have been buddies for a long time. And Al Sharpton has declined to say anything negative about Farrakhan’s horrifying antisemitism.
