‘Brazen, murderous hatred’: Islamic New York City mayor attends prayers at mosque where imam calls for beheading of Christians

New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani has made no secret of his pro-Islam agenda points. In the few weeks he’s been in office, Muslim calls to prayer now are being broadcast onto public streets there, and one of his prominent supporters demanded that the city ban dogs inside homes, as Muslims consider dogs unclean.

Now Mamdani has pulled back the curtain of moderation that may have concealed his goals before now: He’s attended a mosque where the imam prayed for the return of the Islamic mahdi so that infidels could be beheaded.

It is the RAIR Foundation that reported on the new exhibition of extremism against Christians and other faiths.

“As the U.S. makes final preparations to hammer the Iranian mullahs out of existence, New York City’s Islamo-communist Mayor Zohran Mamdani made a point of saying Friday prayers at a mosque that the Department of Justice considers to be a front for the Iranian government,” the foundation reported.

“The cherry on top is that during those prayers, the imam prayed for the Mahdi to kill the infidels (non-believers) by the sword.”

Explained the foundation, “This is submission disguised as diversity and the furtherance of not only the conquering of America from within, but the brazen, murderous hatred of anyone who is not Muslim.”

The report confirmed Mamdani was at the Al-Khoei Islamic Center in Queens for a visit that was not his first time there, which means “he had to be fully aware of what Imama Dakmak-Rakka was praying for.”

Rakka is the principal of the Al-Iman School, affiliated with the Al-Khoei Center, and a representative of the Al-Khoei Foundation, according to MEMRI.

It was, actually, the Middle East Media Research Institute that also confirmed Mamdani’s visit to the Islamic Center, and which explained the center was linked to the Alavi Foundation which was cited by the Department of Justice as a front for the Muslim extremists in Iran.

“New York City’s progressive, socialist mayor is a Twelver. A sect of Shia Islam whose eschatology, political theology, and legal worldview contradict the very foundations of secular democracy. They want to set the real world on fire so the Mahdi will return – nuclear weapons, anyone? And you wonder why so many of us are telling President Trump to take out the mullahs and the Ayatollah,” the foundation said.

The prayers during Mamdani’s visit included, by the imam, that “Allah make them among those who await the Mahdi and are martyred before him, adding that through the hands of the Mahdi ‘comes the relief for the believers and the killing of the infidels by your sword.'”

MEMRI revealed, “The Al-Khoei Foundation has maintained financial ties with the Alavi Foundation, which U.S. federal courts and prosecutors have identified as a front for the Government of Iran and its state-owned Bank Melli. The Al-Khoei Foundation has publicly defended the Alavi Foundation against these accusations. In November 2023, Imam Fadhel Al-Sahlani, an official representative of Grand Ayatollah Ali Al-Sistani in North America, said that Hamas has made a ‘big difference’ not only in the Arab Muslim world, but for the whole world.”

MEMRI’s video shows Mamdani stating “Last Ramadan, I was with many of you here at the procession of the martyrdom anniversary of Imam Ali. It is a privilege to be here with you once again. … I stand before you as the first Muslim mayor in our city’s history, and this year is the first Friday prayer that I have attended in that new position.”

The imam followed with: “I ask Allah to send blessings upon Muhammad and the family of Muhammad and to make me among those who await you [the Mahdi], follow you, and support you against your enemies, and among those who are martyred before you, among the ranks of your loyal ones. … Through your hands comes the relief for the believers and the killing of the infidels by your sword.”

It was Mamdani who proclaimed his own religion as the one true faith, and set the Muslim calls to prayer being broadcast onto city streets.

Actor James Woods, whose commentary attracts as much attention these days as his other life accomplishments, pointed out, “Well, that didn’t take long…”

Further, radical activist Nerdeen Kiswani, a Mamdani fan, has insisted that dogs be banned indoors in New York City.

Finally, NYC is coming to Islam. Dogs definitely have a place in society, just not as indoor pets. Like we’ve said all along, they are unclean.

BREAKING: The leader of the pro-Palestinian movement and protests in New York, Nerdeen Kiswani, is now calling for a ban on dogs as pets in the city. Dogs are considered haram in Islam.

Social media responded with, “My dog is cleaner that (sic) Nerdeen Kiswani!” and “Who knew that Mamdani winning the election would embolden all the extremists?”

Later, she tried to claim her demands were all a “joke.”

The foundation’s warning: “As leftists screech over Islamophobia, the Religion of Peace has made great progress in conquering America from within. Twenty-five years ago, radical Islamists slaughtered almost 3,000 Americans in horrific terrorist attacks… most of them in New York City. Now, one of them rules the largest city in America and visits a mosque with an imam who prays for the killing of infidels.”:
