Proverbs 14:18 (GNT) says, “Ignorant people get what their foolishness deserves, but the clever are rewarded with knowledge.”

On Tuesday, the low-information voters in New York got what they deserved—a Marxist, Muslim mayor-elect, Zohran Mamdani. In his victory speech, he took off the sheep’s mask to reveal the real Mamdani—an angry wolf. Throughout the campaign, he proudly promoted his socialist and communist agenda, openly discussing his ultimate goal of “seizing the means of production.” Yet he has not explained his religious objectives.

I believe what we witnessed during this campaign is an example of taqiyyah. Britannica defines taqiyyah as “the practice of concealing one’s belief and foregoing ordinary religious duties when under threat of death or injury.” I would add that it also applies when someone seeks to deceive voters into believing they have everyone’s best interests at heart, while secretly pursuing a radical transformation of America—one aimed at undermining and dismantling Western civilization. Does that sound like hyperbole?

One of Mamdani’s largest backers is a Muslim civil rights group linked to Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), the largest Muslim nonprofit in the US, that federal lawmakers described as having “deep ties to terrorist organizations.”

In 1991, Mohamed Akram authored The Muslim Brotherhood’s Plan for America—An Explanatory Memorandum on the General Strategic Goal for the Group in North America (May 22, 1991). The FBI uncovered this internal memo during the 2004 Holy Land Foundation terrorism financing trial. The Muslim Brotherhood is a transnational Islamist organization whose stated objective is to establish a foothold in North America and advance its global goal of promoting Islamic governance.

Here’s a quote from that document:

“The process of settlement is a ‘Civilization-Jihadist Process’ in every sense of the word. The Ikhwan [Brotherhood] must understand that their work in America is a kind of grand Jihad in eliminating and destroying Western civilization from within and ‘sabotaging’ its miserable house by their hands and the hands of the believers so that it is eliminated and God’s religion is made victorious over all other religions.”

For the record, Islam does not worship the God of the Bible. In 610 A.D., Muhammad claimed to have received a revelation from an angel while meditating in a cave. Islam teaches that Jesus is not God, but merely a man. Now, look at what the Bible says about such a revelation:

Galatians 1:8–9 says, “But even if we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel to you than what we have preached to you, let him be accursed. As we have said before, so now I say again: if anyone preaches any other gospel to you than what you have received, let him be accursed.”

Islam is a false religion that the Apostle Paul warned about.

Those of us who know the true Creator God must pray for Mamdani to be introduced to the real Jesus who is the image of the invisible God (Colossians 1:15-17).

Time will tell if Mamdani’s radical policies extinguish the light of liberty.

Victor Davis Hanson: Does the Democrats’ chaos strategy work? Democrats wield chaos as a strategy, overwhelming voters with nonstop turmoil that obscures blame and rallies key groups—leaving Republicans scrambling to counter before the clock runs out.

The Federalist - Eddie Scarry: The New York Times helped create Zohran Mamdani, and now the paper is worried that he will do everything he says.
