A Growing Pattern

• CAIR-backed candidates won 50% of their races nationwide in the most recent election, a record success rate. 

• Concerns have been raised by religious leaders, elected officials, and commentators about the implications of these victories for religious freedom and national security. 

• In New York, Jewish families are already fleeing the city, citing fears over rising antisemitism and policies that undermine their safety and rights. 

Voices of Alarm

Rabbi Elliot Cosgrove of Manhattan’s Park Avenue Synagogue publicly stated that Mamdani “poses a danger to the security of the New York Jewish community.” Israeli officials have echoed these concerns, warning that Mamdani’s election represents a turning point for a city long seen as a haven for Jewish refugees and religious freedom.

Real estate mogul Barry Sternlicht, whose family survived the Holocaust, announced plans to pull his businesses out of New York, comparing the city’s future to that of Mumbai under Mamdani’s leadership.

Why This Matters

This is not a partisan issue — it’s a constitutional one. The United States was founded on principles of religious liberty, equal protection under the law, and democratic governance. Any ideology — religious or political — that seeks to replace these values with Sharia’s authoritarian or discriminatory systems must be shut down.

Take Action Today

Christians in Defense of Israel (CIDI) has launched a nationwide campaign demanding Congress:

• Ban Sharia, which asserts higher authority than the Constitution.

• Ban the radical Muslim Brotherhood, which supports Sharia.

• Jail or deport radical imams that call for the violent overthrow of America.

• Reject the so-called “Islamophobia” label, which radical Muslims use to silence legitimate criticism.

• Call on Muslims to repudiate violence against non-Muslims and the killing of Jews.
