Sacred Lying in American Mayoral Politics

Omar Fateh and Zohran Mamdani
At the time of writing, it seems fairly likely that a Somali Muslim named Omar Fateh will shortly be elected mayor of Minneapolis, and it looks almost certain that a Ugandan desi Muslim named Zohran Mamdani will be elected mayor of New York City.
Dearborn, Michigan already has a Muslim mayor, but the city has a majority Muslim population, so that makes sense. In contrast, Muslims in New York and Minneapolis are a minority. A substantial and rapidly increasing minority, but still a minority.
So how do those cities manage to elect Muslim mayors?
In order to be elected mayor of a major American metropolis, a Muslim candidate has to persuade a large number of non-Muslims to vote for him. Those infidel voters will include many African-Americans, but the votes of plenty of white people will also be needed. In order to persuade all those kuffar to pull the lever for a Muslim, the would-be mayor and his handlers will need to convince them that the candidate is just the man they need to deliver everything they want. That requires the candidates to be less than truthful in what they tell the voters.
I’ve been observing the mendacious public utterances of prominent Muslims for more than twenty years, and continue to be impressed with the ease with which they deceive their non-Muslim audiences. Imam Feisal Abdul Rauf, a.k.a. the “Ground Zero imam”, comes to mind as a consummate master at fooling the infidel, but the “Swiss philosopher” Tariq Ramadan — now sadly incarcerated in a French prison — is no slouch, either.
