🚨 THREAD: The Islamist network behind Zohran Mamdani — what the record actually shows 👇
1️⃣ Everyone knows Mamdani as a DSA socialist from Queens.
But less known: his entire political network traces back to Linda Sarsour and her mentor Imam Siraj Wahhaj — long identified by law enforcement and analysts as key figures in the U.S. Muslim Brotherhood orbit.
2️⃣ In 2018, Sarsour placed Mamdani on the board of the Muslim Democratic Club of NY (MDCNY) — her own vehicle to elect ideologically aligned Muslim candidates.
That board also included Aliya Latif, Faiza Ali, Murad Awawdeh, Debbie Almontaser — all with past roles in CAIR or ICNA, groups cited by analysts in Hamas-funding probes.
3️⃣ Sarsour calls Wahhaj her mentor and Mamdani her habibti (beloved).
Wahhaj is no fringe figure: he was VP of ISNA, listed in the 1991 “Muslim Brotherhood plan for America” memo, founded MANA, and preached alongside the Blind Sheikh who planned the ’93 WTC bombing.
4️⃣ Wahhaj’s Brooklyn mosque, Masjid At-Taqwa, appeared in multiple NYPD and federal counterterror files for hosting radical preachers and gun-training circles in the 1990s.
He once boasted of training “10,000 men” for jihad in America.
5️⃣ In 2024, three of Wahhaj’s children were sentenced to life in prison for running a New Mexico terror compound that trained children for jihad and caused one child’s death.
These are the heirs of the man Linda Sarsour still calls her teacher.
6️⃣ Sarsour’s own posts show her praising the Muslim Brotherhood during the 2011 Arab Spring—years before she claimed to be “radicalized” by Ferguson.
She also defended sharia-based FGM and attacked women like Ayaan Hirsi Ali.
7️⃣ Mamdani’s closest allies—Sarsour, Latif, Awawdeh, Almontaser—first bonded during the 2011–2013 NYPD surveillance lawsuits, where Wahhaj’s own mosque was a plaintiff.
The same small network has remained intact through every campaign he’s run.
8️⃣ Financially, Mamdani’s early races benefited from Sarsour’s MPOWER Change network and CAIR-linked donors (over $100K by one estimate).
He has never publicly distanced himself from those sources.
Bottom line: Zohran Mamdani isn’t just a socialist from Queens.
He’s the political heir of a machine built by Linda Sarsour & Siraj Wahhaj—figures with decades of ties to Muslim Brotherhood-linked organizations and individuals.
Voters deserve to know the full story.
