Reflections on the Mamdani win.

Oceans of ink have already been spilled on the election of Communist Muslim Zohran Mamdani as the mayor of New York City. That this will be an appalling outcome for NYC is certain. The only question is, how long before the real cr*p hits the fans? Already, so many folks are preparing to leave. Here I offer just a few brief political points about this expected, but tragic, result.

One issue that can be mentioned right away is how New Yorkers seem to have a really bad memory. Bear in mind that just 24 years ago, this was the same city that experienced the worst Islamist terror attack in American history. It seems the ‘never forget’ crowd is very forgetful – or really does not care any more.

As to voters, one main group voting for Mamdani were young women. A staggering 81 per cent of Gen Z females went for the Muslim. Interesting – and frightening. But other demographic figures are just as important. The strategy of the left in America, as in the United Kingdom and Australia, is to flood the nations with migrants – either legal or illegal – who will almost always vote for the left to return the favour.

Foreign Influence

One important media report said this about the matter just before the election:

Zohran Mamdani’s mayoral campaign is powered by a South Asian political machine with ties to a Pakistani radical Marxist political movement — and foreign influence may have provided the tipping point in his primary victory, research shows.

For years, Washington has been alarmed about the prospect of foreign meddling in U.S. elections stemming from online disinformation. Yet what if the foreign interference that policymakers so fear actually ends up playing out not in dark recesses of the internet — but in broad daylight on the streets of New York City?

The immigrant-rights nonprofit Desis Rising Up and Moving (DRUM) — and its political arm, DRUM Beats — have built what insiders call the most effective field operation in city politics in recent memory. (The term “Desis” describes those of Indian subcontinental birth or descent who do not live on there.)

Another report begins this way:

In my early analysis of what made Mamdani the nominee, I noted that there was high turnout by the Pakistani and Bangladeshi Muslim settler population in New York City combined with really low turnout and enthusiasm by traditional Democrats who weren’t exactly enthused by Cuomo et al. The 5% of New Yorkers who voted in the primary were very much a minority. This was a campaign driven by Mamdani’s fellow Indian Muslims in occupied Pakistan and Bangladesh.

Not even in the United States.

More and more people are pointing to Mamdani’s fake social media engagement coming from bot farms out of Pakistan and India rather than from actual New York City social media users. The X feed is flooded with random promotion of Mamdani coming from accounts that otherwise had few likes or views suddenly ballooning into the tens and hundreds of thousands. This is not organic engagement, but manufactured hype driven by enemy foreign nations rigging a US election.

Then you have George Soros and his son Alex bankrolling his campaign with millions upon millions of dollars. All this adds up to some very skewed voting results. Here is one write-up on this from several months ago:

Socialist Zohran Mamdani has declared billionaires shouldn’t exist, but it’s unlikely he’d be the front-runner to become the Big Apple’s next mayor if it wasn’t for one — far-left kingmaker George Soros, financial records reviewed by The Post show.

Mamdani recently told NBC News’ “Meet the Press”, “I don’t think that we should have billionaires, frankly” while doubling down on his plan to jack up property taxes on “richer and whiter neighborhoods” if elected mayor.

But in less than a decade, Soros’ ultra-woke grant-making network Open Society Foundation has indirectly funneled a combined $37 million to the Working Families Party and at least other nine left-wing groups whose endorsements and get-out-the-vote groundwork played a pivotal role in helping Mamdani upset ex-Gov. Andrew Cuomo in the Democratic mayoral primary, the foundation’s records show.

Since 2016, the far-left, socialist-friendly WFP — which helped score Mandani the Democratic line by brokering cross-endorsement deals that squeezed out Cuomo — has pocketed a staggering $23.7 million from Soros through its nonprofit fundraising arm Working Families Organization Inc.

Consider this alarming set of statistics about the voters:

Voting by American-born New Yorkers:

• 40% for Cuomo
• 31% for Mamdani
• 25% for Silwa

Voting by foreign-born New Yorkers:

• 62% for Mamdani
• 24% for Cuomo
• 12% for Silwa

Wow – those are some telling numbers. Christian apologist Laura Zifer said this about the figures:

It’s time to dispense with non-assimilating immigration!

Yesterday, New York City voters handed their future to a Muslim socialist—thanks largely to foreign-born blocs who enjoy America’s freedoms but refuse to embrace her values. They chose to impose on our largest city the same socialist dogma that has repeatedly destroyed freedom and prosperity everywhere it’s been tried. This is not progress—it’s betrayal. When people flee tyranny only to rebuild it here, we are no longer importing refugees; we are importing ruin.

Natural law says every nation has both the right and the duty to defend its moral order. A country is not just a plot of land; it is a covenant of shared virtue, a moral community that must preserve the common good. When people enter our borders with no intention of assimilating, scorning our laws and mocking our Constitution, they corrupt the very justice that gives this nation life.

From natural law (and plain common sense), several truths stand out:

– Government exists to protect moral and cultural unity. Allowing foreign ideologues to govern our cities destroys that unity.

– Citizenship must be built on loyalty, gratitude, and love for the principles that define our nation. Those who reject those principles have no natural right to shape them.

– A sovereign people has a natural right to self-preservation, which includes the power to decide who may join its civic family.

She offered some proposals to remedy this situation. They include:

If we still have the courage to act, here are a few ideas for how we might restore order and preserve liberty:

– Every immigrant must learn and speak English fluently.

– Each must demonstrate a real record of hard work, entrepreneurship, or craftsmanship that adds value to America.

– All must study the Declaration of Independence and the U.S. Constitution.

– Citizenship should be earned by passing a demanding, English-only citizenship exam that ensures understanding of American freedom and duty.

This is not hatred of foreigners—it’s love of truth, love of justice, and love of country. If America is to survive, we must once again expect assimilation, not apologize for it. We must guard our freedom with moral courage, not surrender it out of cowardice disguised as tolerance.

Danger Ahead

Finally, see this shocking video of Arzoo Malik, Zohran Mamdani’s intern, who is calling for a Holy War through Jihad and martyrdom: “This is all jihad, this is all ibada, and this is all counted for by Allah. How committed am I to this? What am I willing to sacrifice for this noble cause?”

Yet some ‘moderate’ conservative voices are saying that we should relax and let this play itself out. They say Mamdani’s socialist policies will cause much harm, and they will eventually backfire on him. There is obviously some truth here – socialism never works. But that is not all that must be said here, so I do not think these rather optimistic views will get us very far.

For example, those who rightly say his economic policies will not work are completely missing the point: he is not just a socialist, but he is also a Muslim. Those just looking at his dangerous economic policies say nothing about the fate of the Jews in NYC and elsewhere, and how this is another massive win for the Islamists seeking to take over NY and America.

One simply has to look at London and other major English cities to see how this is playing out. As is rightly said, immigration without assimilation is invasion. Muslims all over the West are slowly but surely taking over cities and territories, often just by means of demographics (we are aborting our future generations while Muslims are having large families).

Mamdami is so very bad in so many ways, not just in terms of disastrous economic policies. For example, he has already sent Trump and ICE a strong warning. He says he will have them all arrested if they break any of his rules:

“My message to ICE agents and everyone across this city is this: everyone will be held to the same standard of the law. If you violate the law, you will be held accountable.”

The point is, mayors DO have a lot of power and can do a lot of real damage and promote a lot of real evil, and people can suffer greatly as a result. One simply has to look at other Democrat-run cities like Chicago, Detroit, Minneapolis, Portland and LA, to name but a few.

Christians can and should do two things here: they need to pray daily for Mamdani – I do. And they need to pray for NYC and what is happening there. Also, they need to educate themselves on what is really going on, not just with Mamdani in particular, but with the reality of what socialism and Islam really are.

Stay tuned for further articles on this election result, where I will concentrate more on various biblical and spiritual considerations.
