I wasn't aware Hitler made calls to prayer mandatory during the Third Reich...
When I was a kid - admittedly a long time ago - people who didn't go to school for very long tended to avoid talking for fear of looking like fools. Today, people are proudly ignorant and confidently open their trap to say any old nonsense with zero concept of shame.
spoiler
I'm an anti-theist, who profoundly and especially despises the Abrahamic religions, but I'll bet good money this is not about prayer calls and "Islam taking over".
This is about him being a brown immigrant socialist.
It's because, still in 2025 in the US, if you want publicly funded social programs for better individual outcomes in a capitalist economy, and you're anywhere left of the fucking Einsatzgruppen, you're a commie pinko who loves getting Eiffel-Towered by Stalin and Mao.
Being honest, though, I would say this a very American mentality, but since I immigrated to the Netherlands from the US in '22, I'm sad to say, it's infecting Western Europe.
I'll never understand the perverse allure of this type of thinking. I've had it explained to me. I've read The Righteous Mind by Dr. Johnathan Haight. I get it on paper, but it still seems very alien to me when people go on about "the <insertEthnicSlurHere> breathing up all our air and taking all our jobs and making things easier for the wrong people."
I mean, it does make sense if you have a tribalist worldview. Less people means more resources for your tribe, after all.
And, if you make it so that ‘other tribe’ has some kind of easy identifier they can’t change, like skin color, then you know who to throw out on sight!
Some people are just more tribal-minded than others. They’ve done studies and it’s pretty consistent that republicans/conservatives have a far more tribal mindset. Which tends to go hand-in-hand with a desire for a ‘strong leader’ and a strict tribal hierarchy.
Unfortunately that tends to translate to whoever bullshits the best because they’re reacting off instinct rather than thinking about things, which makes it easy for scam artists like Trump that talk a big game to appeal to them.
I am not sure City Hall playing Muslim calls to prayer is different from public schools posting the Ten Commandments in every classroom and forcing every student to read the Bible.
In other words, it's not Muslim fundamentalism that is the most pressing threat. It's the Christian fundies that are doing irreparable harm to both the Nation and their own religion.
It is not different at all. It's wrong in both cases, as well.
Jefferson wrote that there should be "a wall of separation" between the state and religion. We have a high speed conveyor belt instead.
The major difference is that one is happening and the other is a fever dream from the perpetrators of the first.
Is there no better source than the garbage NY Post?
It’s what the Post is known for!
Downvote for the NYPost. We don't do that here.
Panzer hit reply-all, writing: “Is it just me, or does this sound eerily similar to what much of Germany and Europe said about you know who back in 1938?”
If you're going to say something obviously inflammatory, the least you can do is not sound like an enormous moron lmao. If that comment was about Trump & co, sure. There are plenty of documented similarities between the two. Comparing a socialist to the Nazis is just hilariously ignorant. It's like dude heard that they had socialist in the name, and his brain turned off right there. What a fucking idiot.
Why are people so scared of the call to prayer? It’s no different to church bells ringing.
Maybe they think that when Muslims hear Allahu Akbar they immediately explode?
(It's bigotry).
I’ve had Muslim roommates, and even they weren’t that good about their prayer schedule. This xenophobic bigotry is just bullshit made up. Besides, you can hear it playing around Brooklyn if you really want to.
Turns out that Muslims are like everyone else. There are the high-riding Qu'ran thumpers and the chill dudes who drink and smoke weed and everything in between, just like everyone else. Some are good people, some are not, just like everyone else.
The Muslim prayer schedule is like the Christian's: if you're crazy enough - or dumb enough - to be strictly observant, you deserve to have a miserable life from which a sizeable number of years will have been pointlessly wasted to religious mumbo-jumbo by the time you kick the bucket.
Tbh, I think most people would benefit from taking ten minutes five times a day to just meditate, so depending on how you pray, I could see that being a positive.
Hitler was huge into Muslim prayer.
These pearl clutching realtors need to calm down and realize, it's not like Zohran's a Republican Governor or AG.
He won't try and put the ten commandments in schools, or wait I'm sorry I meant play prayer songs because he understands the separation of church and state.
However I expect the full support of the GOP to defend his right to put a Koran in every school right next to the 10 commandments.
Zohran “Antifa Hitler Jihadi” Mamdani
Some important news right here!
USA never surprises me lol.
Seems like he was fired for the Islamophobic nature of the comments, not being hyperbolically opposed to Mandami. Or maybe more realistically he was fired for publicly talking back to his boss, regardless of content.
Everybody do the Nazi!
