Credit: ICNA via Wikimedia Commons.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"color: #000080;\">In Britain and the United States, there are signs that creeping Islamization has now accelerated to a gallop.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"color: #000080;\">Until recently, America viewed the erosion of Western norms by Islam as a British and European problem from which America was largely immune. That is now far from the case.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"color: #000080;\">Last week, the 34-year-old Democratic Socialist Zohran Mamdani, the New York state assemblyman who is the runaway favorite to become mayor of New York City in next month\u2019s election, posted pictures of himself at Masjid At-Taqwa mosque in Brooklyn, N.Y., with its imam, Siraj Wahhaj, who he described as one of the nation\u2019s foremost Muslim leaders.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"color: #000080;\">At the time of the 1993 bombing of the World Trade Center, this mosque was attended or visited by various individuals connected to that attack. The imam pictured smiling alongside Mamdani was an unindicted co-conspirator in that bombing and testified as a character witness for Omar Abdel-Rahman, the \u201cblind sheikh\u201d who led that conspiracy.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"color: #000080;\">Wahhaj has said: \u201cI will never, ever tell people, \u2018Don\u2019t be violent, that is not the Islamic way.\u2019 The violence has to be selected.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"color: #000080;\">He has been extremely clear that he is working for Islam to destroy America.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"color: #000080;\">\u201cYou don\u2019t get involved in politics because it\u2019s the American thing to do,\u201d he said. \u201cYou get involved in politics because politics are a weapon to use in the cause of Islam. Wherever you came from, you came to America. And you came for one reason\u2014for one reason only\u2014to establish Allah\u2019s\u00a0<em>deen<\/em>\u00a0[\u2018law\u2019 or \u2018way of life\u2019 in Arabic].\u201d And he predicted: \u201cDemocracy will crumble, and there will be nothing, and the only thing that will remain will be Islam.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"color: #000080;\">This is the man extolled as a role model by the probable next mayor of New York.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"color: #000080;\">Mamdani\u2019s brazen gesture in visiting this mosque was intended to normalize Islamist extremism in America and show that it is in the ascendant because no one is even trying to stop it.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"color: #000080;\">What\u2019s not commonly understood is that Mamdani is a Shia Muslim \u201cTwelver,\u201d a member of the sect that believes the \u201cTwelfth Imam,\u201d or Shia messiah, will be brought to earth in an apocalypse. The most prominent Twelver in the world is the Iranian Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, as was his predecessor, Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini, and other leaders of the Tehran Islamist regime.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"color: #000080;\">Both Shi\u2019ite and Sunni Muslim extremists share the apocalyptic goal of exterminating Israel and the Jews as a precursor to destroying America and the West, and installing Islam throughout the world.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"color: #000080;\">Mamdani has said that his faith is very important to him. How that squares with his radical chic LGBTQ+ agenda isn\u2019t immediately obvious.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"color: #000080;\">U.S. President Donald Trump has said New York City is about to elect a Communist as mayor. But more alarmingly, what Trump is helping Israel fight in the Middle East is rampant in Trump\u2019s own backyard.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"color: #000080;\">In Britain, events over the past week have made it clearer than ever that Islamists are now calling the shots. Fans of the Maccabi Tel Aviv football club were banned from attending next month\u2019s match with Aston Villa in Birmingham in response to a petition organized by two independent \u201cGaza first\u201d members of parliament, Ayoub Khan and former Labour Party leader Jeremy Corbyn.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"color: #000080;\">The petition, whose purpose was to cast Israel as a global pariah, said Israeli teams weren\u2019t welcome in Britain because of \u201cgenocide\u201d against Palestinian Arabs in Gaza. It also said the Maccabi fans should be banned as \u201chooligans\u201d because of the violence that broke out when their team played the Dutch club Ajax in Amsterdam last year.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"color: #000080;\">But what actually happened in Amsterdam was a pre-planned attack\u00a0<em>on<\/em>\u00a0the Maccabi fans that was described by the Arab and Muslim mob organizing it as a \u201cJew-hunt.\u201d Israeli fans were chased through the streets, beaten unconscious and even driven into the canals to escape. The Dutch authorities themselves said it was an antisemitic attack.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"color: #000080;\">Yet prominent British Muslims and other Israel-haters have accused the Maccabi fans of causing violence and disorder. They blamed a Jew-hunt on the Jews\u2014and then said the same kind of Jews should be banned from Birmingham.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"color: #000080;\">The reality was that Jews were to be kept out of Britain\u2019s second-largest city because the Muslim community wouldn\u2019t tolerate their presence.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"color: #000080;\">Even for British Prime Minister Keir Starmer\u2019s anti-Israel government, this crossed a line. Starmer called the ban antisemitism and said the government would work to reverse it.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"color: #000080;\">In the House of Commons, a government minister, Lisa Nandy, passionately\u00a0<a style=\"color: #000080;\" href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/lisanandy\/status\/1980331543924208123\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">denounced<\/a>\u00a0the ban and\u00a0<a style=\"color: #000080;\" href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/lmharpin\/status\/1980353720555544947\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">tore into<\/a><strong>\u00a0<\/strong>Iqbal Mohamed, another independent MP supporting the fans\u2019 exclusion, for antisemitism. This was because, she said, he was accusing everybody who supports the Israeli team\u2014the vast majority of whom are Jewish and who include British Jews\u2014of being violent football hooligans.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"color: #000080;\">This was particularly striking because Nandy is prominently pro-Palestine. What\u2019s more, the government not only never acknowledges Muslim Jew-hatred but goes to extreme lengths to ignore and sanitize Islamic misdeeds. And it refuses to grasp that the Palestine cause it so noisily supports is an Islamist cause, and that Islamism is driven by Jew-hatred.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"color: #000080;\">The Palestinian issue is, in fact, a Trojan Horse for Islamization. Palestine flags are waved by mobs on the streets of Britain and America, chanting for the destruction of both Israel and America. The Oct. 7 terrorist attacks on southern Israel fired a starting gun for what the Islamists and their hard-left Western allies believe is the final push to victory for Islam over Israel and the West.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"color: #000080;\">Like Britain, America has allowed this to build up with impunity. For two years, mosques in Dearborn, Mich., have blasted calls to prayer through outdoor loudspeakers, violating local city laws. Its mayor, Abdullah H. Hammoud, told a local Christian resident, Edward Barham, that he was \u201cnot welcome\u201d in the city after Barham raised concerns about new street signs honoring Arab American news publisher Osama Siblani, who he said promoted Hamas and Hezbollah.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"text-align: center;\">\n<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/me.jnsi.org\/uploads\/2025\/10\/East-Plano-Islamic-Center-Texas.jpg\" width=\"100%\" \/><span style=\"color: #808080;\"><em>East Plano Islamic Center, in Plano, Texas. Credit: Anisa Bhatti via Wikimedia Commons<\/em><\/span>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"color: #000080;\">Texas, of all places, is now seeing the rise of self-governing Islamic enclaves.\u00a0East Plano Islamic Center, a powerful mega-mosque, has acquired vast land holdings to construct an autonomous Sharia-adherent Islamic community. Its leadership has said: \u201cWe are,\u00a0<em>Inshallah<\/em>, going to change the entire\u00a0<em>dawah\u00a0<\/em>scene by demonstrating to the world what it means to be a Muslim living in the West.\u201d\u00a0<em>Dawah<\/em>\u00a0is a strategy for Islamic expansion.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"color: #000080;\">At the American Muslims for Palestine conference last May in Tinley Park, Ill., some 3,000 people openly discussed plans to take over America and bring it to its knees through mass mobilization to shut down events.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"color: #000080;\">Despite its horror over the Birmingham ban, the British government is still refusing to face up to what\u2019s happening. \u201cWe will not tolerate antisemitism on our streets,\u201d said Starmer. But the past two years have shown that antisemitism is indeed tolerated on Britain\u2019s streets, with \u201cpro-Palestine\u201d mobs chanting for the eradication of Israel and the murder of Jews.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"color: #000080;\">Britain and America should finally start drawing some lines in the sand. The liberal democratic bargain at the core of Western society holds that minorities are free to form communities of faith and culture, provided they uphold core values such as democracy and the rule of one law for all.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"color: #000080;\">That means proscribing the subversive Muslim Brotherhood, jailing radical imams or throwing them out of the country, binning \u201cIslamophobia,\u201d banning the burqa and outlawing\u00a0<em>sharia<\/em>\u00a0law, which recognizes no authority above itself.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"color: #000080;\">The British are at a boiling point. People can see that serious violence in the streets is now all too likely. This cultural vacuum is a breeding ground for demagogues, grifters and thugs\u2014whose agenda is not democracy but power, and who display accordingly total contempt for the rule of law\u2014to pose as defenders of Western values and the Jewish people. We know from bitter historical experience that when a society convulses in this way, Jews are likely to get it in the neck from all sides.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"color: #000080;\">The real threat, though, to all who value civilization is from a Western world that\u2019s committing cultural suicide.<\/span><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/me.jnsi.org\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Melanie-Phillips-400x400.jpg\" width=\"20%\" \/><span style=\"color: #808080;\"><em><strong>Melanie Phillips<\/strong>, a British journalist, broadcaster and author, writes a weekly column for JNS.
