New York City’s newly inaugurated mayor, Zohran Kwame Mamdani, has once again proved to be a filtered terror-sympathizing Islamist by meeting with Dr. Syed Qasim Rasool Ilyas, the father of jailed terror accused Umar Khalid.
Mamdani, a self-identified democratic socialist and the first Muslim mayor of America’s largest city, has aligned himself with figures linked to radical Islamist organizations be it with Hamas or Pakistan-based terror groups.
Islamist Zohran reportedly met Ilyas on December 9, 2025, for about 25–30 minutes, during which Ilyas pressed the issue of his son’s incarceration who is in jail for terror charges.
Mamdani, reportedly following Khalid’s case closely, offered to connect the family with U.S. Congress members to advocate for Khalid’s release.
Following the encounter, Mamdani and eight U.S. lawmakers, including Representatives Jamie Raskin and James McGovern, wrote to India’s U.S. ambassador, Vinay Mohan Kwatra, urging bail for Khalid and others arrested in connection with the 2020 Delhi riots. They cited “weak evidence” and described the pre-trial detention as “punitive.”
Why Is Umar Khalid In Jail?
Umar Khalid remains in jail for masterminding the 2020 Delhi anti-Hindu riots. Reports detail his arrest under UAPA after chargesheets exposed his central role in a premeditated conspiracy that killed over 50 people, mostly Hindus, through coordinated violence timed for Donald Trump’s India visit. Khalid, son of an ex-SIMI member, met rioters like AAP councillor Tahir Hussain and activist Khalid Saifi at Shaheen Bagh on January 8 to plot “big action” against CAA-NRC, assuring PFI funding and logistics while inciting Muslims via speeches to block roads, spill blood, and overthrow the government. Despite liberal romanticization as an innocent activist, courts have repeatedly denied bail, citing ample evidence of his instigation alongside figures like Sharjeel Imam, proving the riots were no spontaneous outburst but a calculated Islamist-Left assault.
Umar Khalid’s Father Headed Banned Islamist Terror Org
Dr. Syed Qasim Rasool Ilyas is a notorious Indian Islamist agitator whose career is marred by deep ties to extremist groups and a relentless push for divisive, anti-national agendas. As the national president of the Students’ Islamic Movement of India (SIMI) from 1983 to 1985, Ilyas led an organization that was later banned in 2001 under India’s Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act (UAPA) for its blatant involvement in terrorist activities, promoting hatred, and fostering communal discord
Undeterred by the ban, Ilyas slithered into the Jamaat-e-Islami Hind (JIH), securing a spot on its Central Advisory Council, where he continues to peddle an ideology rooted in Islamist supremacy and dreams of imposing Sharia law over secular governance, all while masquerading as a champion of social welfare.Not content with behind-the-scenes maneuvering, Ilyas serves as the spokesperson for the All India Muslim Personal Law Board (AIMPLB), a body often criticized for clinging to regressive practices that undermine women’s rights and equality under the guise of religious preservation. In 2011, he founded the Welfare Party of India (WPI) as a thinly veiled political front for JIH, allowing radical elements to infiltrate mainstream politics. Indian intelligence agencies have repeatedly exposed WPI as a deceptive cover for JIH’s broader ambitions, with Ilyas at the helm orchestrating campaigns that sow division
His prominent role in the anti-Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA) protests further reveals a pattern of inciting unrest, turning legitimate concerns into platforms for radical mobilization that threaten national unity.
An Islamist-American Is No Different Than A Pakistani Terrorist
When the mayor of New York chooses to lend his office, influence, and access to lawmakers in service of a terror accused’s family—while downplaying judicial findings, ignoring victims, and echoing Islamist grievance narratives—it ceases to be about civil liberties and becomes a question of ideological alignment. It is the normalization of extremist apologia under the garb of progressivism.
And who the hell is Zohran Mamdani—and who are these U.S. lawmakers—to interfere in India’s internal legal and security matters? By what authority do they presume to lecture a sovereign nation on terror prosecutions, dismiss court-monitored evidence as “weak,” and advocate leniency for an accused whose case has repeatedly withstood judicial scrutiny? India is not a client state, and its anti-terror laws are not subject to approval by foreign politicians driven by ideological posturing or domestic vote-bank politics.
Mind your own business and clean up the filth in your backyard, Zohran!
