New York City has turned into London or Islamabad at a really rapid rate.
Today’s warning sign once again comes from Shahana Hanif, a Bangladeshi Muslim councilwoman affiliated with the DSA, which has defended the Hamas massacre of Jews, for appearing at a rally where Hamas was cheered, blaming Israel for the Oct 7 attacks, initially refusing to condemn the massacres, and endorsing the Columbia encampment which targeted Jewish students and faculty members.
After two Muslim women, one Pakistani and one Bangladeshi, announced that they were join a protest against Mamdani over his refusal to protect Jewish and other schools from violent pro-Hamas mobs with buffer zones (a move Mamdani had previously vetoed), Hanif lost it.
“May Allah condemn you to Jahannam” or hell, Hanif tweeted at one of the women.
Hanif obviously knows that unlike Councilwoman Vickie Paladino, who faced an ‘investigation’, attempts to oust her entirely from the council, and bans from committees, over criticism of Mamdani, she won’t face any consequences for this kind of behavior.
What’s more apparent though is that the third world mask is coming off. Under all the fake hipster posing and the radical chic is Islamic tribalism, theocracy and hatred.
Accepting this isn’t diverse or progressive, it’s turning America into Pakistan and then Afghanistan.
