US Goes The UK Way As Islamists Set To Become Mayors zohran mamdani omar fateh

A political and cultural transformation is underway in the West, and the United Kingdom has become its blueprint. The recent surge in violence – anti-Semitic/anti-Hindu/Indian, while critical to the context, is not the root cause of the crisis but a symptom of a deeper shift: the systematic entry of Islamist politicians into the highest echelons of power. Having watched the UK establish this troubling precedent, the United States now appears to be following the same playbook, with political movements actively working to install mayors whose ideologies mirror those that have reshaped British politics.

The UK Precedent: How Islamists Captured the Corridors of Power

The British political landscape has been fundamentally altered. The narrative is no longer about isolated acts of violence, but about the political empowerment of a community whose leadership often openly rejects assimilation and champions ideologies at odds with liberal, Western values.

The Unprecedented Political Rise: In the 2024 UK general election, a record 25 Muslim MPs were elected to Parliament. While representing a diversity of views, this bloc includes figures whose political identities are explicitly formed in opposition to the traditional British consensus.

Key Figures in Power

Shabana Mahmood: As the Secretary of State for Justice and Lord Chancellor, Mahmood holds one of the Great Offices of State. She has publicly stated her Islamic faith is the “absolute driver of everything” she does. Her history includes supporting the Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions (BDS) movement against Israel and opposing the deportation of foreign criminals, raising questions about the primacy of British law versus her personal religious and political beliefs in her role as the nation’s top legal official.

Tulip Siddiq: As the Economic Secretary to the Treasury, she holds significant economic influence.

Rushanara Ali: Serves as a Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State, further embedding this ideological bloc within the government machinery.

Control of Major Cities

Sadiq Khan: Now serving his third term as Mayor of London, Khan oversees a budget of £20.4 billion and commands the capital’s police force. His tenure has been marked by persistent criticism over rising crime and his handling of community relations, with detractors arguing his policies often align with or appease Islamist sentiments at the expense of other communities.

Grassroots Entrenchment

Beyond Westminster, the entrenchment is even more pronounced. Over 200 Muslim councillors now serve in local governments across the UK. In 2024 alone, 39 Muslim candidates won seats across 24 local authorities. Cities like Tower Hamlets, Bradford, and Birmingham have significant Muslim political representation that directly influences local policy, from education to social services.

The Ideological Impact

This is not merely about demographic representation. It is about the advancement of a specific political project. The election of MPs like Apsana Begum and Zarah Sultana, who are known for their hardline anti-Western and anti-Israel stances, demonstrates a conscious voter choice to support candidates who define themselves in opposition to the mainstream. This political movement has successfully capitalized on identity politics, creating a powerful voting bloc that prioritizes religious and ideological loyalty over integration into the British cultural fabric.

The result is a government that, at multiple levels, includes individuals who have opposed policies against foreign criminals, supported movements that seek the destruction of a key ally (Israel), and whose primary driver is a faith-based ideology. This has created a palpable sense of institutional alienation for other communities, particularly British Jews, who see their government’s moral and political compass shifting away from them.

The American Imitation: Mamdani and Fateh as the Vanguard

The UK’s experiment is now being imported into the United States. The strategies are identical: run on a platform of Democratic Socialism to attract the progressive left, while being propelled into power by a base motivated by identity politics and an anti-Western, anti-Israel agenda.

Zohran Mamdani (New York City): The Ideological Import

Mamdani is not a typical New York politician; he is a product of the same ideological ecosystem that has reshaped UK politics. He has pushed for mandatory Halal food in all NYC public schools, a policy critics label as the enforcement of religious doctrine using public funds. While framed as “inclusion,” it notably sidelines Kosher and other dietary laws, signaling a privileging of one specific religious practice.

His campaign has accepted $100,000 from the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), an organization that was named an unindicted co-conspirator in the 2007 Holy Land Foundation terrorism financing trial.

Mamdani has visited and been photographed standing with Imam Muhammad Al-Barr, a religious leader who was recorded praying for violent jihad, asking Allah to “annihilate those who occupied their lands.” The mosque’s former imam has a history of spreading virulently antisemitic rhetoric.

His support from groups like the Indian American Muslim Council (IAMC) and endorsement by Sunita Vishwanath who founded Hindus for Human Rights (HfHR) – organizations with alleged ties to Pakistan-backed Islamist networks suggests his political project extends beyond NYC to advancing global anti-India narratives.

Omar Fateh (Minneapolis): The Playbook Replicated

In Minneapolis, Omar Fateh is applying the same model. His calls to block police cooperation with ICE and to radically defund the police mirror the kind of policies that critics argue prioritize the demands of specific immigrant and religious blocs over public safety and the rule of law.

The fierce, often racist, backlash against him has, in turn, solidified his support within his community, creating the same kind of identity-based political fortress seen in UK constituencies like Birmingham Ladywood or Bradford West.

It is noteworthy that Fateh has been endorsed by anti-Indian US Congresswoman Ilhan Omar who seemingly justified Charlie Kirk’s assassination and said, “Some people did something” about the 11 September terrorist attacks and completely absolved the involvement of Islamic terrorists who carried out the attack.

A Coordinated Political Conquest?

The violence in the UK is a consequence, not the cause. The cause is the political empowerment of an ideology that refuses to assimilate and actively seeks to reshape the West from within. The UK has demonstrated how this is done: through disciplined bloc voting, leveraging identity politics, and running candidates under the broad and often misleading banner of “progressivism.”

The United States is now on the same trajectory. The mayoral campaigns of Zohran Mamdani and Omar Fateh are not isolated incidents. They are the American beachhead of a political movement perfected in the UK. If they succeed, they will not merely be mayors of their cities; they will be enablers of a transformative project that seeks to redefine the very identity of Western nations, with consequences for community safety, foreign policy, and national cohesion that are already terrifyingly visible across the Atlantic.
