"Even if there are some verifiablt genuine 'moderate Muslims' and 'Muslim Reformers' in the West or elsewhere on the planet they are irrelevant. Worse still any Muslim Reformer who claims to be devout/, like Mohamed Zuhdi Jasser an oxymoron.By assuring non Muslims that violent Muslims who murder 'hijacked Islam' and 'misunderrstand the Koranic imperative to wage Jihad against non Muslims is a dangerous and fatal distortion of the facts.
MIM: Its high time Jewish groups and instutions like CAEF, AFSI, Stand With Us and and should 'divest' from the concept of Muslim Reform and pontificating that Jews and non Muslims should encourge and support scams like Mohamed Zuhdi Jasser's failed Muslim Reform Movement and groups like the 'CLARITy Coalition' aka "Champions For Liberty Against The Reality Of Islamist Tyranny" CLARITy's own founder the opportunistic grifter and uber narcissist, media whore 'I think therefore Ayaan' Hirsi Ali converted to Christianity in 2023 one year after founding her CLARITy scam. In 2024 Ali told podcaster Gad Saad that reforming Islam is a waste of time and that 'Islam can only be reformed by force'.
Zohran Kwame Mamdani aka Mr.Cardamon
MIM: Zohran Mamdani is the epitome of the assimilated,Westernized,outwardly 'sophisticated and cosmopolitan' aka civilized Muslim as is his Columbia U professer father Mahmood. The toxic, nihilistic zeitgeist was a sign for 'devout Muslim' Zohran to proudly flaunt his 'inner Islamonazi' to acclaim and admiration of his coreligionists and their cadre of leftist/progressive useful idiot/kuffar funders cheerleaders and enablers like The (Shura) Council On American Islamic Relations (CAIR/Hamas) and Emgage who form a powerful stealth jihad front which is epitomized by Mamdani's meteoric rise from 'bad rapper' to an omniously viable contender for Mayor of New York City which would be regarded as one of the pinnacles of the Civilizational Jihad being waged by Muslims which was launched in New York in 1990 with the first jihad murder on U.S. soil of Rabbi Meir Kahane H"YD after his speech at the Marriott Hotel.
MIM:6 Years ago Mamdani tried to launch a career as a rapper under the name of Mr.Cardamon together with his filmaker mother..Many psychopathic Muslim ISIS members who killed Westerners were themselves Western born and had semi successful rap careers prior to choosing murder over 'music'. ISIS member Denis Cuspert aka Desu Dogg ,was a convert from Germany who was smoked in a drone strike in Syrai and British born 'Nepobaby' Abdel Bary Atwan who tortured Western hostages and was dubbed 'Jihadi John' by Interpol posed with a severed head and declared war on the West. He died in a Spanish prison.
Here is a 3 minute (c)rap video by Mamdani aka Mr.Cardamon:

"Jihadist Psychopath"
Zohran Mamdani in a 'nut'shell.
"Jihadist Psychopath" By Jamie Glazov
"There is a war being waged on America & the West. The aggressors? Islamic Supremacists. Their method? Duplicating the sinister methodology of psychopaths who routinely charm, seduce, capture & devour their prey."
MIM:Here's pictures and video of the apron clad rapper Mr.Cardamon in a business suit foaming at the mouth while attacking police preventing him from attacking Border Czar Tom Homan.

Jihadist Rap:
- "This refers to hip-hop music created by individuals or groups associated with extremist or radical Islamist ideologies, often promoting violence, martyrdom, and the establishment of a global Islamic caliphate.
- Examples include the British rap group Sheikh Terra and the Soul Salah Crew's "Dirty Kuffar," which uses a CNN clip of US soldiers and the term "Digihad" in a video, and the German rapper Deso Dogg, who later joined ISIL.
- The term "Jihadist rap" is often used in the context of counter-terrorism efforts, and the music is seen as a tool for recruitment and radicalization."

MIM: From crappy rap to political hack.
'CAIR/HAMAS Put $100K Behind Zohran Mamdani's Bid for NYC Mayor'
'CAIR launched the Unity & Justice Fund to "use money to protect the interests of the [Muslim] community," CAIR Fuhrer Nihad Awad stated on video that he was "happy to see" the Hamas attack Israel on Oct. 7,2023.
https://freebeacon.com/democrats/cair-quietly-puts-100k-behind-zohran-mamdanis-bid-for-nyc-mayor/
MIM: In 2004 CAIR was named as a Defendant in a 9/11 terror lawsuit brought by the estate of FBI Special Agent John O'Neill who was killed in the WTC jihad attacks which contends that:
'CAIR and CAIR-Canada (since renamed MIM) have, since their inception, been part of the criminal conspiracy of radical Islamic terrorism…They emanate from the notorious HAMAS terrorist organization & are engaged in fund raising under the guise of assisting humanitarian causes they are, in reality, a key player in international terrorism.
The unique role played by CAIR & CAIR-Canada (now renamed) is to manipulate the legal systems of the US & CA in a manner that allows them to silence critics, analysts, commentators, media organizations, & government officials by leveling false charges of discrimination, libel, slander & defamation.
In addition, both organizations have actively sought to hamper governmental anti-terrorism efforts by direct propaganda activities aimed at police, first-responders, and intelligence agencies through so-called sensitivity training. Their goal is to create as much self-doubt, hesitation, fear of name-calling, and litigation within police departments and intelligence agencies as possible so as to render such authorities ineffective in pursuing international and domestic terrorist entities'.https://www.danielpipes.org/blog/2004/12/cair-named-as-a-defendant-in-911-terror
MIM:CAIR and their affilate individuals and organizations are currently being sued for funding Hamas and the October 7th attack by Jewish survivors and/or their families.
Were it not for Zohran Mamdani's statements he could have been a 'poster boy' for the desperately sought after and highly elusive 'moderate Muslim' or been a well paid speaker to dissemble about 'Muslim Reform' by mainly Jewish organisations and institutions along with the 8 other interviewees in Christine Douglass William's 2017 book which focused on their travails.
The toxic and nihilist zeitgeist not only prompted Mamdani to flaunt his 'inner Islamonazi' and proved that PT's Barnums' observation that "Any publicity is good publicity".is even more true in the Internet Age.
'Abu' Mamdani, father of mayoral candidate's Zohran has a 'faculty bio' webpage on Columbia University In New York's Department Of Anthropology where he is listed as the 'Herbert Lehrman Professor Of Government'.Mamdani lists "Racial Capitalism" and "Colonialism" among his "Research Interests". Mamdani's post humous benefactor and patron of his namesake position,Herbert Lehrman,was a Jewish and pro Zionist philanthropist.This obviously poses no 'conflict of interests' Mamdani Sr.since exploiting and benefiting the largesse of infidels is an integral part of the civilizational jihad blueprint like the 'jihad seekers allowance' aka welfare,housing and other benefits provided by the wealthy West which Muslims view as an 'entitlement' owed to them by 'Kuffar' aka useful idiot and their non Muslims 'inferiors'.This Islamonazi weltaanshauung finds its culmination in Mamdani's son Zohran's pledge to use taxpayer funding aka 'jizya' to provide 'poor' New York residents with free social and public services. Defunding the police is another act of stealth jihad since it would take away any 'man made' system of law and order.Zohran Mamdani has continually pledged to bring many more Muslims into City Hall, which would transform New York City into a Caliphate, and introduce Islamically grounded 'public initiatives' as is now being done n the city of Philadelphia.
It is no coincidence that Emgage the 'political arm' of CAIR is spearheading the campaign for Mamdani and that Emgage's Pennslyvania and National Advisor Salima Suswell, was a member of the Advisory Board of CAIR until 2017.
MIM: "SLOUCHING TOWARDS SHARIA"
Emgage and CAIR have a working partnership- CAIR bills themselves as a 'civil rights group' ( The Muslim ADL) and wages stealth jihad on individuals and institutions like schools etc.
Emgage is the voter mobilization wing which is waging stealth jihad through giving pro Jihad and Jew hating Muslims political power through elections.
Both CAIR and Emgages' goals are the same and they work In tandem to turn the US into A 'United States Of Allah' and replace The Constitution with The Koran by exploiting the democratic process.
On page 47 of Emgage's' 2023 Annual Report headlined 'Partners' you will see CAIR Philadelphia among the groups' listed. It is no coincidence that Emgage's' Philadelphia and National Senior Advisor Salima Suswell.
In 2017 Suswell was a member of CAIR Philadelphia's Executive Committee and was appointed by then Governor Wolf to the Pennsylvania Commission On Women.
Suswell's rapid political trajectory and involvement in different groups is a textbook case of how Muslims are creating their own special interest groups and infiltrating American politics especially in the Democratic Party.

MIM: The Islamization of Philadelphia is already underway under the 'leadership' of Mayor Cherelle Parker who owes her mayoral win to CAIR and Emgage who endorsed her and delivered the Muslim vote. Two weeks after being inaugurated 'Muftiyah' Parker declared that she was creating 'The Mayor's Office Of Muslim Engagement" as a quid pro quo and appointed Imam Quaiser Abdullah of the Quba Institute aka The International Muslim Brotherhood Masjid. Imam Quaiser Abdullah wears is also a Temple University professor who is the faculty advisor to the Muslim Student Association on campus. Not surprisingly Imam Abdullah is touted as a 'moderate Muslim' as are his Islamonazi cronies who have turned Philadelphia City Hall into the 'City Caliphate'.
Brotherly Love vs The Muslim Brotherhood - Philly Mayor Proclaims "By Any Means Transformation Day" To Honor Malcolm X
June 4, 2025
Imam Quaiser Abdullah is the director of 'The Mayor's Office 0f Muslim Engagement' quaiser_muslimengage
"On May 19, 2025, Mayor Cherelle L. Parker, the 100th Mayor of Philadelphia, issued an official proclamation declaring May 19 as By Any Means Transformation Day — honoring the global legacy of El Hajj Malik El Shabazz (Malcolm X) and affirming our city's commitment to transformative justice, equity, and opportunity."
This proclamation marked the official launch of the By Any Means Transformation Initiative, a citywide effort led by the Philadelphia Mayor's Office of Muslim Engagement and rooted in the belief that real change must be pursued by any means — and with all tools available.
This initiative is grounded in five pillars of transformation:
Spiritual Liberation: Clean Hearts, Clean Streets, and Greener Futures
Liberatory Education: Civic Power
Economic Liberation: Economic Opportunity
Community Safety & Healing: Safer Communities
Global Vision, Local Power: One Philly, A United City

AZ Cong.Candidate Mohamed Zuhdi Jasser: Put Pal.State On "Current Occupied Territories"- 'Palestinians Are Real Victims Of Hamas"
Failed Muslim 'Reformer' Funded By Jews:
'If We Tell Muslims That Islam Is The Problem We Will Not Win The War"
"I don't believe Israel is a religious issue for Muslims … Hamas and other radical Islamic groups have propagandized the issues for decades and the latest conflict demonstrates that. It is constant warmongering. Hamas creates, starts these wars, commits acts of terror, and then uses the war as a platform to say all its grievances are Israel's fault."

Excerpt from Williams interview from her 2017 book about 'Muslim Reformers':
Jasser: "Another litmus test regards the State of Israel.
This is a key litmus test, Even though to me, the Palestinian - Israeli issue is not an Islamic one, the geopolitics of the Palestinians, and their inability to recognize a country everyone else in the world recognizes, and their own actions and terrorism makes it a significant issue, as it has been used globally by the Muslim Brotherhood as a lightening rod for the Islamist movement.
The Islamist Wahhabi from India, Dr. Zakir Naik, who runs Peace TV and has millions of followers,uses the Israeli issue all the time to bring people in. Most non-Islamists stay away from the issue because its not one of Islam, and support Israel when it comes to national security."

"Shireen Qudosi Muslim 'Reformer'& Islamonazi - Funded By Jews - Calls Muslim 'Reformers' Slaves To Their Zionist Lords & Masters"
Deletes X Account After 'Hitler Was Right' Posts Exposed - Part Of Mohamed Zuhdi Jasser's Muslim Reform Movement

"Really questioning how my former Muslim Reform colleagues can look in the mirror. Not one has spoken out about on the crimes aqainst humanity carried out by their Zionist lords and masters. Shame isnt a strong enough word to to condemn their sycophantic cowardice over the last 7 months."

The only factually honest conclusion Williams could arrive at since having written her book in 2017, is that Islamic Reform is and has been an abject failure and that self proclaimed 'Reformers' 8 of whom Williams personally interviewed (who all ALL living in the West) have either rejected Islam and become 'Ex Muslims' or converted to Christianity, while publicly conceding that Islamic Reform is impossible as is documented in this posting.
Only naive non Muslims believe the myth of 'Islamic Reform' and the white washed version of Islam which they peddle to get funding.
The reality is that 'Muslim Reformers' are irrelevant and 'Muslim Reform' of Islam's theological underpinnings are regarded as heretical by the majority mainstream Muslim community whose main financial and publicity/platforming support base consists of gullible non Muslims, many of whom are Jewish individuals and institutions like the organizations which sponsored this webinar.
Unfortunately these Muslim grifters and scam artists have received support and funding by well respected people in the counter Jihad community like Daniel Pipes, who founded the Middle East Forum and Steven Emerson founder of The Investigative Project On Terrorism.
One question which schould have been asked of Williams is this:
'You interviewed 8 'Muslim reformers' in your book "The Challenge Of Modernizing Islam" Reformers Speak Our About The Obstacles They Face"
How many of these 'reformers' have been invited by fellow Muslims to speak at a mosque,Islamic center or at a Muslim event.'
On May 13, 2025 Robert Spencer of Jihad Watch (who Williams works for) blurbed Williams' 2017 book wrote 11 days ago that Moderate Muslims' are "hucksters".
"In the wake of 9/11, there was a great deal of talk about "moderate Muslims," and about whether any given Muslim spokesmen rejected "terrorism" (never jihad). A few "moderate" Muslim hucksters sprang up, saying all the right things and fleecing gullible non-Muslims who wanted to believe, in the teeth of all evidence, that the vast majority of Muslims rejected jihad violence. Now, although many of those "moderates" are still around, many Muslim spokesmen aren't even making the pretense of being "moderate" anymore."

BR: In 2011 Christine Douglass Williams declared Shireen Qudosi to be 'One Of The Top Ten Muslim Reformers In North America'. Qudosi was one of 8 "Reformers" whom Douglass interviewed in her 2017 book about "The Challenges Muslim Reformers Face".

Islam experts Robert Spencer (Jihad Watch) and Steven M. Kirby (Islam Series - Understanding Islam) were two of the very few people who did not fall for Qudosi's charade and wrote articles exposing her and the dangers of encouraging non Muslims to believe that Islam could be reformed.
MIM:Robert Spencer the director of Jihad Watch explains the role that Muslim"Reformers' fill for their supporters:
"Conservatives especially are avid to find and support self-proclaimed Islamic reformers, so as to demonstrate that they're not "anti-Muslim" (Leftists, by contrast, don't care about Islamic reformers, as they have no trouble embracing "Palestinian" jihadis and others of their ilk). Fake reformers make out like bandits taking advantage of these people. This is not beneficial to anyone, except the fake reformers themselves."

MIM: Mohamed Zuhdi Jasser 'Grand Poobah' of the Muslim Reform Movement teamed up with Ayaan Hirsi Ali's 'CLARITy' Coalition' and ran for Congress in Arizona.
MIM: Failed Congressional candidate,Zuhdi Jasser, never uses his first name (Mohamed). The Arizona mosque in which he worships is the CAIR affiliated Islamic Center of The Northeast Valley in Phoenix (ICNEV). He also avoids mentioning the fact that his father 'Mohamed Sr.,has written a whitewashed version of the Koran which Jasser bases his fanciful 'Muslim Reform' efforts on what MIM has dubbed 'Reform Zuhdiism'.

MIM: Mohamed Zuhdi Jasser's Muslim Reform Movement appears to be for all intents and purposes defunct and he has glommed on to the CLARITy Coalition which is bankrolled by Uber Grifter/Ex Muslimah Messiah Ayaan Hirsi Ali who turned the scam of 'Muslim Reform' into a multi million dollar enterprise.
After dabbling in Atheism,Agnostism & rejecting Judaism as 'too demanding 'Hirsi Ali converted to Christianity in 2023 and admitted in a 2024 video w/ Gad Saad that Islamic theological reform was impossible.
Saad asks her if the project to reform Islam is a 'waste of time' and Ali agreed declaring that 'the only way Islam can be reformed is by force'.

MIM: This is the official biography of Zohran Kwame Mamdani the website of The New York State Assembly.
Zohran K. Mamdani
Biography
Zohran Kwame Mamdani was born and raised in Kampala, Uganda, moving to New York City with his family at the age of 7. A graduate of the NYC Public School System, he attended the Bronx High School of Science and received a Bachelor's Degree in Africana Studies from Bowdoin College. A few years later in 2018, he became naturalized as an American citizen.
Prior to representing the 36th Assembly District and its neighborhoods of Astoria, Ditmars-Steinway, and Astoria Heights, Zohran worked as a foreclosure prevention housing counselor, helping low-income homeowners of color across Queens fight off eviction and stay in their homes. It was this job that led him to run for office. After having spent every day negotiating with banks that valued profits over people, he came face-to-face with the reality that this housing crisis – one which predated this pandemic – was not natural to our lives, but instead a choice. A choice that was the consequence of decades of pro-corporate policies enacted across our country as well as our state. Yet, like with any choice, we always have the opportunity to change and Zohran is excited to be a part of that.
More than his professional experience, however it was the act of organizing that led to Zohran becoming politically active in the first place. In high school, Zohran co-founded his school's first ever cricket team, which would go on to participate in the Public School Athletic League's inaugural cricket season. This act, though not ostensibly a political one, taught him how coming together with a few like-minded individuals can transform rhetoric into reality. Prior to that, his politics had been expressed primarily through long Facebook posts whose impact was the same as the Yankees' rings from the last 10 years. Taking that lesson with him, he went on to co-found his college's first Students for Justice in Palestine chapter and later organize across the country with different progressive organizations seeking to win national elections as well as expand healthcare coverage. As life took its inevitable turns, with detours in film, rap, and writing, it was always organizing that ensured that the events of our world would not lead him to despair, but to action.
As an Assemblymember, Zohran fights every day for a future where each and every New Yorker lives a dignified life and where the distribution of that dignity is not determined by the market. At a time when almost a quarter of his neighbors across Astoria spend half their income on rent, when they breathe the most polluted air in Queens, and where they are profiled at the highest rates of any neighborhood in the borough, Zohran believes that the future we deserve is one where housing, energy, and justice are for the many, not just the few.
Zohran is proud to be the first South Asian man to serve in the NYS Assembly as well as the first Ugandan and only the third Muslim to ever be a member of the body. For too long, communities such as these have been left out of our state's politics and priorities. Zohran will seek to amplify the voices of the preferably unheard across both the district and the state for as long as he remains in office.
