Is it possible that a man as intelligent as Mamdani actually believes there is an Allah?
Or is a just a far left would-be dictator engaged in all kinds of "performance" politicking?
I mean he knows that arresting Bibi is impossible and probably also knows that Israelian "genocide" is nothing compared to the worst the Islamic terrorists would commit if they had the power.

You know that is just the Arabic word for God, right? Do you think there is a God?

Is Allah a socialist or a communist?

A God? No. That's a projection of how we saw our parents as infants. But... I do agree with Spinoza.
And I feel it's absurd to kill anyone in the name of any fantasy figure.

That is a big difference between God and Allah.
Both are a word for god in each of 2 respective languages. But Chris is trying to create a false equivalency by calling attention to that. In fact, there is a fundamental difference between the two:
Those who kill in the name of God violate the Christian God's call.
Those who kill in the name of Allah obey Allah's call.
Given this fundamental difference, the fact that Democrats embrace the followers of Allah more than the followers of God is revealing of the nature of modern Democrats.
Because Chris called out the stupidity you pivot to others interpretation of Allah
It’s a word and linguistically they both mean God.
Apparently he only called out your stupidity.
He is saying a blue F-150 and a blue Ferrari are both blue, implying thy are identical. Only you are stupid enough to see he is making no attempt to actually win the discussion point. He doesn't think this audience is worth his best efforts...and you are doing your best to convince him he is right.
A pagan statue could be a “God”” to some. Context is important
it is stupid to suggest otherwise
Correct.

Yeah. English and Arabic.

Then why are you a Notre Dame Fan?
"My soul proclaims the greatness of the Lord,
my spirit rejoices in God my Savior,
for He has looked with favor on His humble servant."
Because not everybody has to be like you to be an ND fan

Denying the faith of the Blessed Mother is not being a Notre Dame fan.
It's not about me. It's about God and The Blessed Mother.
Remove her name from your fandom and you've got nothing.
God, Country, Notre Dame. In Glory Everlasting.
And yet we pay players after evaluating their 40 times more than their faith.
I don't think one need be Catholic, or even a theist, or Irish, or an alum, or whatever, to support whatever revenue generating side business the university comes up with.
One need not share those beliefs…but hopefully they would be respectful of them.

Yes.

Luckily we don't rely on intolerant cranks to make decisions on who can and who can't be an ND fan

I said nothing that was untrue. You sound silly.
I’m fine with atheists and other nonbelievers being ND fans
Just seems a little inconsistent.
I don’t exclude Our Lady of Victory from the sports teams.
Your assertions are absurd.

Like Tyrone, he likely believes that religion is just a lever to control the masses.
(no message)
I disagree. Tyrone seems like a genuine Prince Myshkin and is good hearted but blind to reality,
Mamdani on the other hand is deliberately naive and exploitive on so many issues in service of his supreme narcissism.
LOL...you are nothing if not Creative...the reality of life in NYC for the 1 in 5 residents who are
at or below the Poverty Line, is extremely difficult, and the GOP prefers to cut spending for SNAP, Child Care, Housing Assistance, Medicare, and many other Safety Net programs. In my early days, I grew up in Queens and still have relatives in and around the city, so I have more than a passing interest in how the new Mayor performs. A case in point is my cousin who spent her entire adult life working on Madison Avenue...not wealthy...but earned a decent income...her husband passed away... ~20 yrs ago...no kids.... and all she has is her moderate Pension, plus Social Security. Her Apartment went Condo quite awhile ago and were it not for rent stabilization, she could very easily be on the street. I like it that Mamdani "Sees" her and wants to help her along with the other 1.5M residents with very little, if any, 'Disposable Income', or housing options.
Again, that's Reality for you...sorry if it's not from a Chapter in one of Dostoevsky's novels...but you're free to continue Fantasizing all you want.
I think one would have to be Mysh-uggeneh…to believe that.

Only Prince Myshkin could see Prince Myshkin in Tyrone.

Thank you! I aspire to be as pure a spirit as The Idiot.
It’s a challenge in a world of barely conscious higher primates.
Mayor Mamdani is just endeavoring to be in alignment with the International Criminal Court's
ruling that Bibi is guilty of War Crimes.
btw, the RCC's Vatican II recognizes other religions as "paths to God"...just like Catholicism...

I take it this is a no to my question... or is his mind buried in the ancient superstitious past?

Ask Jesse Owens about FDR
(no message)
It was a difficult time, with the Racist Southerners still part of the Democratic Party (prior to
the GOP recruiting them as part of the "Southern Strategy")...Jesse Owns went bankrupt in just 4 years and followed Republicans who gave him money in the hope of getting votes...it didn't work in 1940 as Owens supported FDR's candidacy that year....(see linked article).
Nonetheless, FDR was, as we all know, never a Communist...even though he pushed a Very Socialist Platform...so long as Mayor Mamdani delivers for those in need of assistance, and still advocating for Democracy...he will be a thorn in the side of those MAGAs who support Trump's authoritarian agenda.
