Arab Commentator: Zohran Mamdani is a “Radical Islamist,” “Will Cause Economic Disaster in New York”

Watch an Arab commentator rips Zohran Mamdani’s mask clean off, exposing the Islamic lie he’s been selling – and how he’s using election bribes to fool liberal voters.

He spells out exactly what’s coming if Mamdani wins – and why those liberals are in for a harsh dose of reality.

It’s wild how naive the West still is — and how it keeps ignoring the sane, honest voices coming out of the Arab world.

This is incredible.

Watch the whole thing.

Host: You live there. What do you think will happen in New York, behind the country, Zohran?

Dabaibeh: Zohran is a very extremist communist.

Host: Why? We have no problem with him being Islamic. Why is he extremist? Why is he so angry? And why is this anger popular in New York?

Dabaibeh: Zohran Mamdani is from an Ismaili background, but he went to the Hussien and became an Ismaili. The Ismailis, you know, are less extremist and more tolerant. But he became a Twelver, not like his family. The man studied Shia and the Sharia of Imam Mahdi, and believes in it completely, and he moved away from Ismaili. This man has a legacy. Also, he’s connected to Columbia University, in the department that was led by Edward Said. Edward Said is one of the prominent Palestinian thinkers in America, who distorted history and distorted the political narrative. They push this idea that Palestinians and Muslims are oppressed, and we must destroy the West and establish an alternative. Although Edward Said was a Christian-Palestinian, he was very close to Islam and the Brotherhood. He was the one who established this Department of Middle Eastern Studies at Columbia University, where Zohran Mamdani and, until now, his father works as a doctor in the same department.

Host: What is your opinion about the position of Jews living in New York regarding this man? And second, is there an effect of the war in Gaza on the nomination of this man to be appointed as the mayor of New York? There is big fear, not only among Jews in New York but also among whites, Asians, and Iraqis, that they believe in fear.

Dabaibeh: Zohran Mamdani goes to events to support homosexuals, support women, support all minorities. He addresses them in their language, tells them, “I am a colored man, not white. I am against the male, white, Christian establishment. We, as communists, want to be equal.” Unfortunately, there is no media effort from the Arab world to warn Americans about the lies that are present among Muslims. So, he uses Taqiyya. He speaks in English and listens to his friends, saying, “We are one, we are all partners, there must be justice.” But they don’t know that when the Brotherhood gains power, you might see something like the Jizya tax. I mean, white people who have a lot must pay Jizya to Muslims who suffer under the American government. This is what they can do. And Zohran Mamdani wrote a tweet. He said that tax savings must come from the rich and whites, comparing it to Mexicans and Algerians, and he accuses them of racism. He attacks whites and demands taxes on them in the same way as in Algeria. What is the effect of the war in Gaza on the electoral race in New York? I think it has a big impact; people are aware of it. The huge awareness and the reason for the spread of Zohran Mamdani’s popularity are the voices from the middle and upper classes. Zohran Mamdani is a very popular voice, and there is no one in these elections who says the same thing. And you think he will stop the rents in New York? Two million people in New York live in government housing. He will stop the rents, so you’re buying votes. You’re saying, “Vote for me, and I will not let you pay rent. I will let you live for free on the backs of those who pay taxes.” He said he will let the public live free. Tax more on the rich and less on the poor. So, it was a more economic revolution.

Host: The last question. Do you know what the Trump administration can do? They couldn’t even expel the student president of Columbia University.

Dabaibeh: You know, Mamdani hasn’t won any elections yet, but even if he does, he won’t be king. He will be the mayor, the governor of the capital of New York, not a king. Mamdani has revealed the danger that people don’t know—the danger of the Islamists. But it will be a great loss of hope for them. They will reach the government, see the corruption, and see how Turkey, Qatar, and Iran buy influence in New York. But you will see an economic revolution and a push against Islamic ideology and this deception. Tomorrow, there will be a conflict between the Islamists in New York and white people, transvestites, sexual minorities, everything. And Zohran Mamdani will lead the Islamists against the homosexuals.

Host: Sam Dabaibeh, our analyst of American affairs. Thank you.
