From Mayor Mamdani to the new Islamic-progressive left: here’s how pro-Palestine activism, religious identity and social agenda are conquering political spaces in the West
A stylized Palestinian flag with the title «End of genocide». A little flotilla boat with two huge eyes drawn on the hull as if to say: we’re keeping an eye on you. Empty pots with the inscription «It’s deliberate starvation». They are some of the works of the most fashionable illustrator in Manhattan, not exactly equidistant regarding the single theme; He is of Syrian origin, 28 years old and has radical beliefs about the destiny of Israel. But, above all, Rama Duwaij she is the woman to whom the new mayor of New York comes home every night. «Mamdani sent me, I am his wife». He condemns anti-Semitism after having conquered in the name of Muhammad the world metropolis with the largest Jewish community outside Israel. She scans «Globalize intifada» in Pro Pal marches. It’s not just a family, it’s a laboratory. Demonstrate how the Muslim socialism he takes power and becomes a political factor in the bored West, in an identity crisis and prey to guilt.
To become successful the formula requires three characteristics. 1) It must re-propose old cornerstones of twentieth-century demagogic egalitarianism: free schools, transport and mealscontempt for the rich, the big embrace of migrants of all kinds. 2) It must be represented by upper class youth who recall the progressive globalism of happy hours (Mamdani is the son of director Mira Nair, practically a Carlo Calenda who made it) and show themselves interested in defending the new low-income generations. 3) It must hide under a veneer of secularism the religious matrix. It is not for nothing that Lady Mamdani shows herself in a miniskirt, short shorts, cheeky hair and Instagram-worthy poses with swollen lips, with an explicit message: forget the burqas, no extremism, we are part of the system. The grand illusion is working.
As revealed by a CNN exit poll, confirmed by the Associated Press, too 33 percent of New York’s Jews (66 percent of young people) voted for Mamdani. Namely for the one who called the bombing of Gaza a genocide and has never distanced himself from the platform Bds (“boycott, defunding, sanctions” on the State of Israel). All this does not worry Wall Street billionaires, also because the number one financier of «muslim-dem» it always is George Sorosbut it keeps the Anti Defamation League, the association in defense of the Jews, who created a «Mamdani Monitor» to control policies and appointments. President Jonathan Greenblatt thundered: «We expect the mayor of the city with the largest Jewish population in the world to stand against anti-Semitism in all its forms».
The sense of distrust lies entirely in the testimony of the Jewish writer Jonathan Safran Foerauthor of the masterpiece on the Holocaust Everything is illuminatedwho revealed: «I went to the polling station to vote for Mamdani but I couldn’t make it, I left my ballot blank». Too many ambiguities in that urn, too many risks that the sun of the future lies behind it Meccathere are billions of sheikhs, there are ultimately the imams.
Islamic socialism is nothing new. Theorized it Muammar Gaddafi’s green book in Libya, Al Fatah in Palestine, Saddam Hussein in Iraq, Bashar Al Assad in Syria, Ben Ali in Tunisia. All autocrats, to be kind. Islamic socialism is not just a New York suggestion but is slowly taking hold in democratic party cornered by Donald Trump, covers the far left, likes it Barack Obama and merges with social radicalism. Mix peacefully ideology and cost of livingfrom the price of rent to the salad, in a secularist minestrone that fascinates the post-high school movement destabilized by the decline of woke.
An example is Minneapolisfull Midwest, where – a week ago – the Somali and Muslim senator Omar Fateh he came one step away from unseating the mayor Jacob Freymoderate Democrat, with the support of unions and the left. In the end he lost but surprised with his transversality: the slogan “It’s not fair that a full-time worker has to choose between rent and shopping” it was also pronounced in Italian to dredge up Catholic votes from that community. Since every American trend ends up landing in Normandy and Anzio, it is important to frame a phenomenon that is also taking hold in the old continent with a devious system that goes beyond Michel Houellebecq.
In the book Submission (2015) the French writer theorized the rise to the Assemblée Nationale of an Islamic party which in exchange for support for the left-wing majority asked for two ministries: that of Family and that ofInstructionto plan the Islamic indoctrination of the new generations. All this in the total disinterest of the progressives, happy to consider themselves hyper-secular, globalists and to collect the generous donations arriving from the Gulf countries. Ten years later, Islamic politicians they don’t act on the marginsin their acronyms, who have no chance of establishing themselves, but are climbing traditional partiesalready structured, conquering them from within. It doesn’t happen yet in Italy, where the experiment in Avs del Puss in Boots Aboubakar Soumahoro it smashed against his wife and mother-in-law’s Vuitton bags.
It happens instead in Germanywhere numerous Muslim candidates (representing 5 million immigrants) participate in the elections under the banner of SPD, Linke, Greens. And they create problems in reconciling religious identity with constitutional values and the denial of anti-Semitism. The German situation is particularly delicate: the Hamburg association Muslim Interactionwhich presented itself as a cultural and political group, was banned because it was underneath he theorized the creation of a caliphate in Germany.
In Great Britain an experiment is underway involving the radical left, with the suture between the old post-Marxist tool Jeremy Corbyn (76 years old) and the young parliamentarian Zarah Sultana (23), Pakistani and Muslim, known for having written a few years ago that she would celebrate «the deaths of Tony Blair, Benjamin Netanyahu and George W. Bush». After leaving the Labor Party, Corbyn and Sultana launched a new, perfectly Islamic-communist political entity: YourParty. For now I don’t agree on almost anything: when she launched the membership campaign on social media, he sent a notice to everyone telling them to cancel payments because the membership was not authorized. Corbyn talks about Karl Marx and working class, Sultana di Banksy and pro Pal. A weak point concerns the world LGBTQ+: the Marxist guru glissa, Sultana is strongly transophile. AND Adnan Husseinthe traditional Blackburn MP, has already threatened a split of the split. Single point of convergence: the testimonial, Brian Eno.
They stole it from the last Frankenstein born on the left: a red-Koranic-Jewish experiment set up by Zack Polanski43 years old, new leader of the Greens with 85 percent of the vote. Included in the list of Time among the 100 most influential of the year, he announced that he will run in the next elections and as a first move he appointed his deputy – he is Jewish – Mothin AliMuslim, known for chanting on TikTok «Allahu Akhbar» after October 7 and for saying that the massacred Israelis “were not victims but occupiers.” A full-blown short circuit. And those who criticize are Islamophobic, a very popular system on the liberal planet.
Poor Bin Ladento try to destroy the West, instead of bringing down the Twin Towers, he might have argued the right candidates of world progressivism. Today it would be a father of the Socialist Internationaland he wouldn’t have spent his last years in a bunker shooting amateur videos, hunted by Navy seals.
