Socialist New York City mayoral nominee Zohran Mamdani visited a controversial Brooklyn mosque to pray while on the campaign trail — just months after the imam had called for the destruction of Israel.

Mamdani posted a picture of himself speaking at the Islamic Society of Bay Ridge, alongside firebrand cleric Sheikh Muhammad Al-Barr, on his social media in January.

“It was a privilege to join Jummah prayers at the Islamic Society of Bay Ridge today,” the socialist nominee said in the post on X dated January 17.

Mamdani’s visit came just five months after Al-Barr called on Allah in a fiery sermon at his Bay Ridge mosque to “liberate Palestine from the occupiers and the plunderers.”

“Oh Allah, annihilate those who occupied their lands, and those who betrayed and deserted them, and those who spilled their blood,” the cleric said in Arabic in an August service at the Islamic Society of Bay Ridge’s Masjid ibn Umair.

Al-Barr, whose last name is also spelled “Elbar,” also said that “the mujahideen [Hamas fighters] in Gaza are achieving more than our Arab armies could in 1967 and 1973,” a reference to the Six Day War and the Yom Kippur War, respectively.

The post Mamdani visited controversial Brooklyn mosque on campaign trail — just months after the imam called for the annihilation of Israel appeared first on New York Post.
