A steadfast conservative and patriotic American, Dr. Zuhdi Jasser, a former U.S. Naval officer and Internal Medicine & Nuclear Cardiology physician, leads the Muslim Reform Movement comprised of Muslims who are working to eliminate the violence, intolerance, and hatred inherent in the teachings of Islam. Jasser is senior fellow for the Center for Security Policy, founder and president of the American Islamic Forum for Democracy (AIFD) based in Phoenix, and co-founder of the Islam Reform Movement.

One of the most controversial Muslims in America, Jasser has been labeled an “Islamophobe” and his organization, American Islamic Forum for Democracy (AIFD), slandered as an “anti-Islam hate group” by Hamas-linked CAIR because of his ongoing efforts to bring about a total reform of the Islamic faith and its extremist teachings which he calls one of the greatest problems the world faces today. He warns of the dangers of radical Islamic forces in America and their indoctrination of a generation of impressionable young adults.

Investigative Project Make no mistake. Patriotic, reform minded, anti-Islamist Muslims like myself and others in our Muslim Reform Movement have been warning the West on every one of our platforms for decades that as Islamic extremists radicalized Muslims across the planet they will do so too with the Left.
Look no further than the BLM movement, (as I wrote in 2021) led by virulent anti-semites of the likes of the Nation of Islam and other collectivist racist movements of convenience, tribalism, and antisemitism.
It is not rocket science that Zohran Mamdani’s worldview related to a worldview dominated by the utilitarian advancement of his only loyalty, to the world’s “Red-Green Axis” —the world’s Marxist-Jihadists. Thus, wherever he is able to find “comrades” as he calls them whether socialists and communists of the DSA or Islamists and jihadis of the mosques of his radical imam network throughout New York, he’s at home.
This guy @ZohranKMamdani should be running for mayor of Rafah which he appears to have a lot more loyalty to than #NYC the largest American city, attacked by radical Islamists like his friends in #SJP and #Hamas on 9-11. #Americanism over #Islamism EVERY DAY!… https://t.co/3UNyKDtut7

Aspirationally, Marxist-Islamists like Mamdani, see themselves narcissistically as a vehicle for the ascendancy of that red-green axis globally and domestically into the West. Mamdani screams “Islamophobia” before anyone can muster the courage to call out his antisemitic hate and seditious anti-Americanism. He intentionally conflates being a radical jihadist with being Muslim.
He gaslights Americans by claiming that anti-semitism is weaponized against him, but in fact he is projecting the very racism that he is perpetrating. As an anti-American radical Muslim, his vernacular is saturated with unadulterated antisemitism.
Antisemitism is an ideology that sees the Jews as the source of all the world’s interlocking problems.

Now, just before the election, in what would be his campaign’s ‘closing statement’ just a few days ago, his emphasis was not about his love of America nor the freedoms it gave him. Instead, he complained into the camera about how “he was victimized” and how he’s carried the “indignities” of being Muslim through his race after the 9-11 attacks. Steven Emerson has referred to this as the “Muslim Brotherhood Playbook.”
He shows zero capacity to understand what being a New Yorker or an American actually meant on 9/12/2001 when the city became “Ground Zero” in the Islamist terror war which Al Qaeda waged on 9/11/2001. He evinces that same moral blindness in refusing to condemn the genocide by Hamas on October 7.
Actually, this is how normal, anti-Islamist Muslims responded to the “Ground Zero mosque”. I wrote this for the New York Post in 2010 a Mosque Unbecoming: “To put it bluntly, Ground Zero is the one place in America where Muslims should think less about teaching Islam and “our good side” and more about being American and fulfilling our responsibilities to confront the ideology of our enemies”.
Instead ‘Comrade’ Mamdani attacks New York’s police, security, and all New Yorkers who re-dedicated their lives to fighting Marxist-Jihadism, the very ideas he now advances, whether non-violent or not. As is classic of Islamists, he dissimulates and uses his Muslim identity, not as the ideology which it is – Islamic extremism – but as a victimized race which it is absolutely not.
Oh really? Stop gaslighting us.
Normal patriotic New Yorkers found quite offensive radical Islamist ideas of your friends like the #GroundZeroMosque or other anti-American imams you’re cozy with like @SirajWahhaj. See: https://t.co/L4MfE4CNJS https://t.co/56nUBHnVQV

Meanwhile he uses every opportunity to unapologetically cozy up to the very radical imams in NYC including Siraj Wahaj, (see here, here) who the rest of us rational Muslims dedicate ourselves to defeating. I discuss in A Battle for the Soul of Islam how I actually confronted Imam Wahhaj at a 1995 meeting of the Islamic Society of North America in Indianapolis about his seditious and treasonous call at that meeting for Muslims to replace the U.S. Constitution with the Qur’an.
Mamdani claims “Islamophobia” for his family and his “Auntie” when it suits him, while his father, a Columbia professor and equally self-righteous immigrant, is seen radically comparing Abraham Lincoln to Adolf Hitler. The Marxist-Islamist apple doesn’t fall far from the tree.
He invokes the term “Islamophobia” to otherwise claim ‘anti-Muslim bigotry’, when in fact the term is used throughout the OIC (Organization of Islamic Cooperation- 56 Muslim majority nations of today’s ‘neo-caliphate’) to punish genuine dissidents in Muslim majority nations who speak out against Islamist theocrats and monarchs who weaponize anti-blasphemy laws to stay in power.
He could never get himself to condemn the phrase “from the river to the sea” nor even honestly explain its origin and meaning, which he most certainly knows. The mantra, “from the river to the sea“, has no other interpretation but the complete annihilation of the State of Israel. It is genocidal in its desire to re-create a pre-1948 Middle East if not resurrect the last Islamic Caliphate with Islamist hegemony. This position is bolstered by his support of the BDS movement, which by definition calls for the economic destruction of the State of Israel.
Mamdani’s world-view (Marxo-Jihadism) divides the world between Dar-al-Islam, the abode of Islam where Islam reigns supreme and the Dar-al-Harb, where war (civilizational or militant) can be waged to impose Islam. Such a world view sees Israel and America as living in the land of war. He has never openly, let alone convincingly, criticized the radical commentaries of imams like Siraj Wahaj who’ve openly called for Sharia law to dominate America.
The fact that Mamdani cannot bring himself to say anything critical of genocidal Islamist terror organizations like Hamas, ISIS, IRGC, Hizbollah, Al Qaeda, or the Muslim Brotherhood tells you why Mamdani should be the Mayor of Gaza City, not New York.

If you reform Islam, get rid of all the hate and violence, correct all the historical errors, admit Mohammed was a caravan raider, warlord, etc you end up with something like Judaism.
This man is an apostate, according to Islamic scholars, similar to the Ahmedi Muslims or Druze who reject much the hate and violence in the Koran and Hadiths. I’m surprised some jihadi hasn’t tried to kill him.
Me, too.

Islam sucks !! Please go away and take the deviant prophet with u Fuck him
I wonder if he knows the Army doctor (Muslim, of course), that shot up the base in Texas? Believe? Bwahahahahaha….. I was born at night, but, not last night!
Of course, he does. He was a US Naval officer. Did you serve the country?
My volunteer service to the Country, included 3 years, 4 days, 5 hours, and 20 minutes.
Thank you. I respect Jasser for his service as well as his courage for doing something only a handful of Muslims ever do – criticizing Islam and working to reform it for the better. The likelihood of that ever happening is slim to none, but I have to give him props for trying.
Try all he wants to it is a large mountain to climb. Have been watching Jasser’s movement to make Islam non threating & so far has not gone anywhere, the Islamic doctrine is so deeply ingrained that for many cannot see his movement without the fear of death for reforming Islam.
As the Quran states to alter and or leave Islam is a death notice.
I agree. Jasser seems to be a lone voice in this movement and I am shocked that there have been no attempts on his life by his fellow Muslims.
Odd thing about Islam, per Quran, another Muslim cannot kill another Muslim yet they will kill a Muslim when they speak out against Islam. Jasser is not speaking out against it but seeking to change to a non violent version which is why most likely they have not attempted to kill him yet. Wording and expression is everything in Islam.
Could be.
