It should come as no surprise that Zohran Mamdani has close ties to the Muslim American Youth Center in New York City, nor that the Muslim American Society is extremely radical. Fox News described its leader as a member of Mamdani's "God Squad," describing predominantly Muslim leaders who advise him and helped him get elected. 

Mamdani wants you to know that his Islamic faith is no different than your Christian or Jewish faith, and that Muslims in New York are just part of the multicultural fabric of a vibrant and diverse New York City.

Yeah, well, no. The Muslim American Society is terrorist-adjacent, and its youth leader makes very clear that he hates America and looks forward to conquering it by any means necessary.

Those means, very clearly, are embodied by groups like Hamas and Hezbollah.

Again, listen to what the "youth leader" for this center said just last Friday:

During a Friday sermon in Brooklyn, NY MAS youth center director Mohammad Badawy said: “as a Muslim, my life’s mission is to fight the U.S government, the U.S army, and ICE until my last breath – that is my reason for existence.” pic.twitter.com/pUvTp6uNu2

Mamdani is the charming, smiling face of a radical movement to destroy the West. His manner and temperament make him attractive, but his intent is similar to theirs, though his own preferences lean toward communism. But communists and radical Muslims have a long history of working together, just as the Nazis did during the war.

Of course, Pravda media will never connect the dots for you. Mamdani campaigned with radicals like Hasan Piker, a communist, and he put a communist in charge of housing in New York. He also campaigned with radical Muslims who openly declared their intent to destroy America, and yet the media treated him as an American success story who would bring peace and prosperity to New York City. 

And he plays the part so well!

There is a reason why the term "useful idiots" was coined to describe the fellow travelers of communists during the Cold War. They idiotically took the communists at their word when they made soothing noises, and looked away or blamed the West whenever the communists did something truly evil. 

They believe in utopias, not the hard realities of competing interests, ideologies, and hard power. They refuse to see the lies, see only the best of the enemy and only the worst of their own, and they sell their countries down the river in the hope that by being nice to the bad guys, everything will work out. 

Mamdani and his ilk hate America. It really isn't hard to understand, but apparently it is hard to accept.
