Mamdami Demands U.S. Immigration Policy Start Obeying Islam

Valletta · 2026-02-21T03:39:36-0600

“Islam [is] a religion built upon a narrative of migration,” Mamdani declared. “The story of the Hijra reminds us that Prophet Muhammad … was a stranger too, who fled Mecca and was welcomed in Medina.” He then universalized the narrative into a binding civic command: “The obligation is upon us all … to look out for the stranger.”
In this framework, federal enforcement is not lawful authority but cruelty. Immigration officers become “masked agents, paid by our own tax dollars,” who “violate the Constitution and visit terror upon our neighbors.”

Mamdami Demands U.S. Immigration Policy Start Obeying Islam

This is not compassion. It is the systematic replacement of citizenship with dependency and sovereignty with moral coercion.

Twenty people have already died because of Mamdani. They were left out on the streets and froze to death. That's not compassion in my book nor looking out for the stranger.

The bible is also replete with quotes about helping strangers.

Judaism and Christianity have exactly the same ethic. The Ibn-al-Sabeel, the "Son of the Road" is identical to the biblical concept of the stranger or sojourner.

Homeless deaths are unfortunate but they happen in every geographic area in the US. They aren't unique to New York. It also has nothing to do with the point that Mamdami is making: people have basic moral duties towards strangers and foreigners, it's not right to treat any human being in an undignified manner.

Critics are enraged by Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s hands-off policy leaving homeless New Yorkers on the streets during extreme cold, and pleading that the city do anything in its power to protect the vulnerable population.
But the administration refused to budge as the Big Apple’s winter death toll rose to 18 — even as a nearby big-city mayor admired by Mamdani rolled out a policy to get people inside.
“When a person is in imminent danger, there is no debate. Whatever ideological divides we have should not have any impact on these policies during a ‘Code Blue,’” Brian Stettin, who served as a senior adviser to Mayor Eric Adams’ administration, told The Post.

The article is sensationalistic and doesn't rest on serious analysis.

Tearing down homeless encampments wouldn't do anything to protect homeless people, and would likely make their situation more precarious, not less so.

Mamdami has received so much negative feedback about the 20 deaths that he has reversed course and decided to do homeless camp sweeps.

Uses academic-sounding language ('tamkeen,' 'civilizational strategy') to elevate conspiracy framing to intellectual analysis

Constructs a 'double standard' argument (Christianity vs Islam in public square) to amplify grievance

And just like that the right wants secularism.

It's not that we want secularism, we just want poor people to be able to die on their own without any help from those who are better off.

This is rife throughout the Judeo-Christian-Islamic, aka Abrahamic, religions. You might fairly decry the lack of Humanist, Hindu, Buddhist, etc. input, but "look out for the stranger" is not considered divisive by most people.

The problem is that the current DHS enforcement is all too often not lawful authority but cruelty and domestic terrorism.

This has no relation to the first part of your argument. There has always been a tenuous balance between nanny state interference with individual rights - who gets to decide what is best for any given individual? During the recent deep freeze of the east coast killed people who were not homeless but in residences. But since he is mayor, it must be his fault? Because he is Muslim, this is the fault of Islam?

DHS has rescued many children and saved many lives. In Minnesota they found over 3400 of the unaccompanied children abandoned by the Biden administration. I believe they would have rescued more but for the people who interfered, people who put their own political passions ahead of the welfare of others. Few if any of that crowd ever mentions the victims. Many are the same people who allowed their political leaders to raise the level of human trafficking in our country to one not seen since the Civil War, and who allowed hardened criminals into our country to prey upon innocent people.

We get these "article" threads 5+ times a week from low seriousness sites like "federalist" for the sensationalism.

I'm sure the OP would not want you to derail the topic of the thread.
