NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani Suggests America Should Take Notes from the ‘Prophet’ Muhammad When It Comes to Migration

EXCERPT:

MAMDANI: “The story of the Hijra reminds us that Prophet Muhammad was a stranger too, who fled Mecca and was welcomed in Medina. Sura An-Nahl 16:42 tells us: ‘As for those who emigrated in the cause of Allah after being persecuted, we will surely bless them with a good home in this world.’ Or, as the Prophet Muhammad said: ‘Islam began as something strange and will go back to being strange, so glad tidings to the strangers.’ If faith — (applause) — if faith offers us the moral compass to stand alongside the stranger, government can provide the resources. Let us create a new expectation of City Hall, where power is wielded to love, to embrace, and to protect. We will stand with the stranger today, tomorrow, and all the days that are still to come.”
