Trump loyalist Charlie Kirk has sparked debate after sharing a video showing hundreds of Muslims participating in prayer in New York, calling the Democrat city the ‘third world’.
The controversial political activist shared the footage that showed a large group of people gathered in Washington Square Park in New York City for prayer.
‘Import the third world, become the third world’, Kirk posted to his social media while sharing drone footage of the gathering, along with the caption ‘This is New York City, not the Middle East.’
It remains unclear when the video was captured, but Muslims gather in the public park every year to celebrate Eid al-Fitr, the end of the holy month of Ramadan – which occurred on March 30 this year.
Supporters of Kirk, who has advocated for Christian nationalism, backed his post – with many pointing out that the park and nearby arch was founded to commemorate avid Christian and founding father, George Washington.
One wrote: ‘Our founding fathers could never have imagined.’
Another supporter of his added: ‘It must stop!! Otherwise there will be no return from this.’ While a third said: ‘So if we go to Iran and occupy the town square for a Christian prayer. All good?’
And another wrote under the post: ‘But if we worship God in their country we’re killed.’
However, some people in Kirk’s comment section said that the scenes were not problematic – and just a sign of the multicultural diversity of the city.
‘I’m not sure why anyone is concerned about this, am I missing something?’ one person said.
Another user came to their defense: ‘What is so wrong in this? Let them pray. There are people of good faith in that crowd who would wish you are blessed regardless of which religion you belong to. Respect other religions.’

The annual Islamic gathering in downtown Manhattan each Eid was started by leaders of the Islamic Center at nearby New York University.
