Posted by Orange Blossom Special on Sun Mar 8 15:29:09 2026, in response to Mamdani Orders Flags At One World Trade Center Flown Half-Staff To Mourn Ayatollah, posted by Jeff Rosen on Sat Feb 28 22:15:21 2026. New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani recently attended Friday prayers at a Queens mosque affiliated with the Al-Khoei Foundation, an institution whose website prominently features a message mourning the death of Iran’s late supreme leader, Ali Khamenei.“As we enter the latter half of Ramadan, I’m grateful to the communities who opened their doors, shared their tables, and welcomed me to break bread alongside them,” Mamdani wrote. “These moments of gathering remind us that solidarity is not abstract — it’s something we practice with one another, every day.” He went on to thank several hosts, including writing: “Thank you to Al Khoie Foundation for making me feel at home during my first jummah as mayor.” The Al-Khoei Foundation operates a mosque and Islamic center in Queens and is one of the largest Shia Muslim institutions in North America. Visitors to the organization’s website are greeted with a prominent statement mourning the death of Khamenei, who was killed in the opening strikes of the ongoing war involving the United States and Israel. The message is attributed to Iraqi cleric Ali al-Sistani, a leading Shia religious authority. In the statement, Sistani offers condolences for what he describes as the “martyrdom” of Khamenei and praises the Iranian leader’s “lofty position” and his role in guiding the Islamic Republic. ------- Satire my big fat..... |
