It’s scary to see what’s already happening in New York City under its new mayor, Zohran Mamdani. Before signing an executive order limiting immigration authorities’ ability to deport illegal aliens today, Mayor Mamdani encouraged Americans to look to Islam as an example on migration. Citing the Quran, Mamdani called for Americans to follow in the footsteps of the so-called “Prophet” Muhammad in welcoming “strangers” to our nation. Watch this for yourself: BREAKING: Terrifying sight as NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani calls on America to look to ISLAM and the “Prophet Muhammad” to support a pro-mass migration stance “Islam is built on migration.” ABSOLUTELY NOT! We need to repel Islam from America!pic.twitter.com/W5R6vpHKRN — Eric Daugherty (@EricLDaugh) February 6, 2026 This is very worrying. Mamdani is now literally trying to push Islam on Americans, while using it to justify the need for more migrants in our nation. Rightfully so, Mamdani is being heavily criticized for calling on Americans to turn to Islam. International Business Times commented on the backlash Mamdani is receiving over this: New York City’s first Muslim mayor has stirred up a political storm after directly citing Prophet Muhammad’s story to justify tougher sanctuary city laws. Zohran Mamdani made the religious reference on Friday morning at an interfaith breakfast, just moments before signing an executive order that puts up fresh barriers between city agencies and federal immigration officers. Speaking to roughly 400 faith leaders gathered across the five boroughs, the 34-year-old mayor didn’t hold back. ‘I consider my own faith, Islam, a religion built upon a narrative of migration,’ Mamdani said. ‘The story of the Hijra reminds us that Prophet Muhammad was a stranger too, who fled Mecca and was welcomed in Medina.’ The Hijrah, which happened in 622 CE, remains one of Islam’s defining moments. It’s when Muhammad and his followers escaped persecution in Mecca and found safety in Medina, where locals took them in. That journey actually marks year one of the Islamic calendar. Mamdani went further than just telling the story. He quoted from the Quran itself, citing Sura An-Nahl 16:42: ‘As for those who emigrated in the cause of Allah after being persecuted, we will surely bless them with a good home in this world.’ He also referenced a hadith where the Prophet supposedly said: ‘Islam began as something strange and will go back to being strange, so glad tidings to the strangers.’ It’s unusual, to say the least, for an American mayor to ground municipal policy in specific religious teachings. Critics immediately pounced, warning that mixing Islamic theology with city law crosses a dangerous line. They argue it risks alienating huge chunks of New York’s diverse population and undermines the separation between faith and government. For some additional context, Mamdani delivered these remarks right before signing an executive order banning ICE agents from stepping foot on public property without a judicial warrant. A NYC press release has more details on the order: Executive Order 13 takes critical steps to keep not only immigrant New Yorkers but all New Yorkers safe from aggressive, unlawful, and xenophobic federal actions as well as deepen trust between New Yorkers and their city government. Executive Order 13 reaffirms that information collected by city agencies for city purposes must remain protected and cannot be shared with federal immigration authorities, except as required by law. Under the order, each agency has 14 days to appoint a privacy officer, conduct training, and certify compliance with sanctuary protections limiting information sharing. Executive Order 13 also makes clear that city property — including parking garages, parking lots, schools, shelters, hospitals, and other public spaces — is for city purposes only. Federal authorities may not enter city property without a judicial warrant. The order also directs core agencies to develop and distribute training for city employees on how to interact with federal immigration authorities. Moreover, Executive Order 13 requires agencies — including the NYPD, New York City Department of Correction (DOC), New York City Department of Probation (DOP), Administration for Children’s Services (ACS), and Department of Social Services (DSS) — to conduct comprehensive audits of all internal policies governing interactions with federal immigration authorities, update protocols and guidance as needed, and provide public transparency into any new policies that are created as a result. Finally, Executive Order 13 establishes an Interagency Response Committee to coordinate crisis policy across city agencies and ensure a whole-of-government response. We tried to warn you, New York! America is a Christian nation and always will be. Also, what is this nonsense about Islam being so tolerant to people of other religions? Since when has that been the case? Their own “holy” book talks about Muhammad wiping out Jews and Christians: “I will expel the Jews and Christians from the Arabian Peninsula and will not leave any but Muslim.” Prophet Muhammad Reference : Sahih Muslim 1767a, Book 32, Hadith 75 — Dan Burmawi (@DanBurmawy) February 6, 2026 That doesn’t sound much like “welcoming strangers” to me… Folks on X aren’t fooled. Take a look at some of these on-point responses: America will never become a Muslim nation and we need to fight their every step to expand the Muslim footprint already here. — RWB_American (@RWB_American) February 6, 2026 America was founded on the Constitution, not religious texts. That’s kind of the whole point. — The Dark Knight (@Andrew35487355) February 6, 2026 pic.twitter.com/yaMRY30gfY — Nevada Liberty 1864 (@NevadaLiberty64) February 6, 2026 This is disgusting.
