Implications For The Islamic Movement Arising From Mamdani’s Victory

Mohamed Ousman

Celebrating Zohran Mamdani's vitory may prove short-lived. The zio-billionaires are not about to quit; they have many tools at their disposal to ensure Mamdani does not cross their red lines, especially doing anything to undermine zionist stranglehold over the American political system.

On January 1, 2026 Zohran Mamdani will be sworn in as mayor of New York City. It is unprecedented because New York City is the den of zio-billionaires but it would be wrong to read too much into Mamdani's assumption of the mayoral office. He will have to operate within the entrenched American system that is rotten to the core.

The American dream is the world’s nightmare.

American voters, especially within the two-party duopoly, are culpable in worldwide atrocities and should not be described as smart.

Imperialism and zionism do not want political Islam with its emphasis on social justice anywhere in the world.

The anti-Islamic world does not need progressive Muslims, it needs the Islamic political paradigm.

Muslims must choose between having proximity within the existing anti-Islamic governments and institutions and replacing them.

The status quo establishmentarian organisations that seek permission to operate by the corporate-government complex such as Gift of the Givers, Ebrahim Rasool’s World for All Foundation, Ulama’ councils, Muslim Thinker, and the controlled opposition such as the Mayor of New York City are a few examples of how imperialism and zionism seek to confuse and then carve up Muslims into left, right, and center of the political spectrum.

Two clear observations from Mamdani’s apparent victory being played up are his election and his Shi‘i identity.

One undercurrent seeks to strategically use the ballot process to confuse the revolutionary Muslims, especially the Shi‘is and to a lesser degree the Sunnis, from supporting the Islamic Revolution in Iran according to the line of Imam Khomeini, or anywhere else.

That Mamdani was elected in the same time-frame as Jolani visited the White House was no co-incidence.

The message is clear: ballot, not the bullet as far as Muslim relations vis a vis the zionists and imperialists are concerned.

As far as intra-Muslim relations are concerned, the zionists and imperialists will even arm Muslims against each other.

Muslims should be under no illusion that radical change is impossible without changing the mechanics of power.

As the western system is designed, governments and institutions will even invite Muslims to campaign for positions within it but not to govern independently, especially not in accordance with Islamic precepts.

This system will even allow the conscience of people to be stirred as long as there are no consequences arising from it.

The other strategic undercurrent in Mamdani’s election is the sectarian bogeyman.

The imperialist-zionist-Wahhabi sectarians are conspiratorial.

They will fan the flames of sectarianism among the Sunni world to make believe that Mamdani, a Shi‘i, is working for the Americans.

This sectarian narrative, abetted, ironically, by sectarian and nationalist counter Islamic revolutionary reactionaries in the Foreign Ministry in Tehran was used regarding the role that the Islamic Republic of Iran played when the western world invaded Afghanistan and Iraq.

Simpleton sectarian Muslims are still unable to decipher events that serve dual, yet independent purposes.

Despite decades of trying to build good neighborly relations with Iraq and Afghanistan, the Islamic Republic of Iran faced hostility and aggression from these neighbors who were not interested in Islamic teachings pertaining to neighbors.

Unfortunately, this Islamic policy to neutralize hostile Muslim neighbors to an Islamic State coincided with imperial designs for the region, viz. the destruction of seven countries in five years.

The situation was aggravated by the imperialist-zionist-Wahhabi inspired sectarian narrative.

A week had barely elapsed and the jubilant Muslims on the political left are now in perception management mode.

They had confused a change of office bearer with change in living conditions.

The test lies not in a candidate being elected to office but in his ability to change the structure of the system, its philosophy and its institutions.

The anti-Islamic system (capitalist and communist/socialist) is designed, among others, by big capital, media, security apparatus to prevent change.

In the case of New York City, real estate capital, police unions, and hedge fund donors prevent change.

The anti-Islamic system (capitalist and communist/socialist) only permits entrants who behave according to their designs and speak their language.

Democratic socialists such as Bernie Sanders, Alexandria Ocasio Cortez, et al had political careers described as a tour from insurgency to apology; the absorption of dissent, the betrayal of Palestine—beginning with ‘arrest Netanyahu’ to assurances to zionists that it was never meant.

The narrative has moved from anti-Israel to pro-Palestine, alongside Israel.

The Left has now sobered up to the practical meaning of Mamdani’s electoral campaign promises of rent freeze, fare-free buses, city-run groceries, union protection, $30 minimum wage, universal childcare.

But as he prepares to take office he will be contained by budget ceilings, policing powers, state statutes, federal funding, lobbyists (real estate among others) and media power brokers geared to protect the status quo.

The Left is about to learn a lesson that the Muslims experienced at the ballots in Algeria and in Gaza.

At best, the colonial system will offer revolutionaries administrative portfolios, not power.

Consequently, incumbents are inducted and trained in-house by the deep state preservational agent embedded in the state machinery to ensure that the state never adopts revolutionary policies towards vested interests.

This is the lesson to the world from Mamdani’s victory.

In order for there to be change in the lives of Muslims and the oppressed peoples, Muslims must be independent of the existing system.

A clean break is needed from the multiple political parties that give the green light to a candidate.

When people campaign within the system the façade related to change is prolonged.

A principled defeat would better serve to clarify the nature of the system than accepting a compromised victory.

“Say, ‘O you who are deniers [of Allah’s power and authority]! I do not conform to that which you conform to [as supreme power and authority], And neither do you conform to what I conform to [the Supreme power and authority]. And I will not conform to that which you [at all times] conform to, And neither will you [at all times] conform to what I conform to. To you your deen, and to me, my deen!’” (The Ascendant Qur’an, Surah Al Kaafirun).
