25 years after 9/11, Muslims dominate Times Square
This is a very deliberate move by an aggressive and hate-filled Muslim preacher to expand Islam’s reach in New York City.

Anyone who was sentient on September 11, 2001, remembers the sheer horror of that day...and of the days after as people coped with the sudden, indescribable, and (before most people knew about the nature of Islam) seemingly incomprehensible terrorist act that cruelly killed almost 3,000 people, most of them Americans who called New York their home. But New York isn’t that same city anymore.
Twenty-five years later, there’s a very Islamic mayor in Gracie Mansion and hundreds of Muslims are gathering regularly in Times Square to block traffic flow for their Ramadan prayers.
Ramadan is an annual month-long observation to remember the month in which Mohamed received the revelations he put in the Koran. For Muslims, it’s a day without lunch, since they must fast between breakfast at dawn and dinner at sunset.

For devout Muslims, in the evening, in addition to breaking the fast, they often perform extra prayers, although there’s no requirement to do so. Nor is there a requirement that they perform their prayers on the public sidewalk—complete with prayer mats—in the heart of a busy, theoretically non-Islamic city. Yet that’s exactly what New York’s Muslims have been doing in Times Square:

What many won’t report? The radical force behind this new annual event. That man is Sohail - known as WAYOFLIFESQ. Over 2.23 million subscribers on YouTube. Nearly 723,000 followers on Instagram. His real game? Spreading raw hostility toward the West. And he uses his young kids as props for his dangerous propaganda.
He flat-out says Islam won’t stop until it enters every home. He brands non-Muslims “kuffar”—filthy, evil, subhuman under Sharia. Jews? Smeared nonstop. Christians? Mocked. LGBTQ? Harassed and ridiculed. Ex-Muslims? Bullied silent.
That’s no accident. It’s not because Sohail’s some fringe extremist they reject. He’s their proxy. He says out loud what too many quietly accept: Supremacy. Dawah as dominance. Unity above all—even backing a guy who harasses, intimidates, mocks Jesus, twists Christianity, and indoctrinates kids.
When someone like this grabs the spotlight to flex Islamic power in our streets, the community doesn’t disown him. They let him represent.
This isn’t innocent prayer. It’s a calculated show of force.
Nor is Sohail alone in his dehumanizing hatred for America, Jews, Christians, gays, and others. This is standard Muslim preaching in many Islamic communities across America:

This is what happens in a city when 80% of potential voters stay home—the lunatic fringe takes over and opens the city gates to the invaders.
Pluralism is unknown in true Islam. Just as Turkey’s Erdoğan once explained that democracy is a train that you ride until you reach your destination (e.g., sufficient power to take over), and then you get off, for true Muslims, religious tolerance is that train: You take advantage of it until you can gain control. And then you take control with brutal, absolute force, something borne out by Islamic history at all times and in all places across the world since Mohamed first preached.

This is what happens in a city when 80% of potential voters stay home.
New York City got what they voted and are already rue the day.
Mayor Zohran Mamdani did not win because he is a Socialist, Muslim, it’s simple: Mayor Mamdani thinks he won because of the "Revolution", he won because voters want Free Stuff, Free Food Stamps, Free "Medicaid For All", Free Daycare, Free Bus rides. DSA Marxists won on Nov 4, 2025 because Americans were offered Free Stuff.
Zorhan Mandami promised a lot and has delivered nothing but incompetence and now demands high property taxes cutting Library and NYPD funding and removal of all pet dogs..
New Yorkers received their first lesson with a snow storm by lack of Mandami's coordination in a snow emergency with piled snow and piled garbage for weeks.
Indeed Muslims celebrated the first day of Ramadan in Times Square. It won't matter after Monday with streets clogged with snow and garbage.
I wonder how long New York residents of the five boroughs will and can tolerate this Mayor in his incompetence, ineptitude and lack of leadership.
As of February 2026, New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani has proposed a preliminary budget that includes a potential 9.5% property tax increase as a "last resort" to bridge a $5.4 billion budget gap. The plan also includes $29 million in cuts to public library systems and reductions in the NYPD budget.
Representative Randy Fine was slammed for claiming for suggesting ‘the choice between dogs and Muslims is not a difficult one’

The mayor’s record proposal included an ultimatum to Albany to tax the rich or he’ll slap the Big Apple with a massive property tax hike.
