Zohran Mamdani’s alleged terror-tied imam ally, Siraj Wahhaj, once ripped the United States as “filthy” and “sick” in a hate-filled rant.
Wahhaj’s past remarks trashing the US were resurfaced over the weekend after Mamdani sparked controversy for meeting with the divisive Brooklyn imam on the mayoral campaign trail.
The clip of Wahhaj’s comments, which were made in 1995 and uncovered by the Investigative Project on Terrorism, captured the prominent imam spewing the anti-American vitriol.

“You know what this country is? It’s a garbage can,” he seethed.
“It’s filthy. It’s filthy and sick.”
Mamdani has been in hot water ever since his Friday rendezvous with Wahhaj came to light — with some Muslims blasting the Democratic socialist mayoral candidate’s association with him given the imam’s history of terror allegations.
He was reportedly considered by federal prosecutors to be an “unindicted co-conspirator” in the 1993 World Trade Center bombing that left six dead, given that several people involved in the terror attack attended his mosque.
Wahhaj was never charged and denied any connection, but later defended those behind the attack and called the FBI and CIA the “real terrorists.”
