Imam at CUNY Reportedly Calls for the Fingertips of the “Filthy Rich” to be Cut Off Under Sharia Law

The City College of New York campus began the latest example of anti-Semitic and extremist speech this week after Abdullah Mady, a student and self-proclaimed Imam, refused to sit next to a Jewish speaker and called for the tips of the fingers of “the filthy rich” to be cut off in accordance with Sharia law. Mady sparked a walkout of Muslim attendees at an interfaith religious event after objecting to the fact that he was seated next to Ilya Bratman, an adjunct lecturer and Executive Director of Hillel at Baruch College, launching into an anti-Semitic diatribe.

“I came here to this event not knowing I would be sitting next to a Zionist and this is something I am not going to accept. My people are being killed right now in Gaza. If you’re a Muslim, out of strength and dignity, I ask you to exit this room immediately.”

Notably, 100 students joined him in the protest by walking out.

Mady also extolled sharia law in his comments, advocating that the “tips of the hands of a thief” be cut off to reduce crime. He then stressed that he was only talking about mutilating the wealthy: “I’m talking about the elite, the filthy rich, the ones that continue to steal from people as we speak today. Those are the ones that deserve their tips to be cut off.”

What is most notable about these hateful words is how figures like Mady are combining Islamic extremism with the extreme economic messaging in New York, where a socialist was just elected New York mayor.

Mady declared, “Sharia, it stands against the oppressor. When shariah is implemented, pornography — gone. Alcohol industry — gone. Gambling system — gone. Interest is gone, which is what they use to enslave you.”

Indeed, it sounds like Jews, free speech, separation of church and state and capitalism would be “gone” in the paradise awaiting the United States as a Sharia-based system.

Again, what is most striking is that most of the CUNY students in attendance then joined this extremist in walking out in protest.

Mady has a bachelor’s degree in psychology but is working toward a bachelor’s degree in “translational medicine,” which CUNY says is “an innovation process from ideation to prototyping to clinical evaluation.” Mady’s “ideations,” however, involve amputations that might not sit well with some patients.

    The above [proposed clinical-pathological terminology for religious-amputation] is LOGORRHEA for FGM as well as any other procedure deemed necessary to primitive and excessive, authoritarian control. The transformation may be slow, necessarily connected to the intelligentsia, but the tentacles of religious-fascism are reaching into every aspect of Western society….this has happened before, and it took many bloody wars to stop it.

    1. We must get this article to Pam Bondi. The DOJ must call this creep in and teach him the US law . not sharia law. They can assist him in moving to any Muslim country where he can practice his barbaric beliefs.

  2. If Muslim extremists can’t tolerate the presence of a single Zionist then I can’t wait to place this ad:

    Wanted: One Zionist to move into my neighborhood. Will arrange for mortgage discount. Smoker okay.

  3. So this Imam went to an interfaith event and only objected and left along with all his followers because he happened to be seated next to a person he describes as a “zionist”? Let me call BS to that.

    This is what I think really happened: Mady went to the interfaith event in order to cause a scene and get publicity for his Sharia extremist views. Someone like him would never have attended an interfaith event for any other reason, unless it might be for an even worse reason. And most – maybe all – of those 100 who followed him out the door are probably people who regularly follow him and went to that event at his request only so they could be part of the scene he planned to cause by getting up and following him out the door.

    1. Abbott took the lead on this , and thank God he did. Trump is playing catch up here, and he MUST! We are a nation based on a
      Judeo – Christian
      foundation, with religious rights separated, not synthesized into the legal system like Islam.Islam
      practitioners are the synthesis of Religion and Sharia Law.This combination , or synthesis of religion and law
      is totally incompatible with the US Constitution.
      It must be Totally Opposed. Any Sharia practicing jurisdictions ,areas, must be stopped immediately. There can be no Islamic
      home rule therein. Trump must make this distinction very very clearly and absolutely, as he took an oath to defend “We the Peoples” US Constitution of the US of A! Ask Mamdani if he will ban Sharia from NYC, please do.

    1. Someone should ask him who decides the threshold for being in the category of “the filthy rich”…
      And if Mohammed bin Salman would be above or below that threshold…

    2. Mockery does not cancel truth, said the fat little pig that let the huffing-and-puffing of the wolf blow his house down….

  4. Naturalization Acts of 1790, 1795, 1798, 1802

    United States Congress, “An act to establish an uniform Rule of Naturalization,” March 26, 1790

    Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America, in Congress assembled, That any Alien being a free white person, who shall have resided within the limits and under the jurisdiction of the United States for the term of two years, may be admitted to become a citizen thereof….
    ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

    The immigration law of the American Founders, the Naturalization Act of 1802, was never legally abrogated.

    Article 1, Section 8, and the 5th Amendment right to private property were similarly never legally abrogated, but America has been twisted into an unconstitutional communist welfare state.

    The Founders created a nation in freedom that has ended up as a foreign communist dictatorship of the proletariat (i.e. hired help).

    The American Founding Fathers are rolling over in their graves.

      1. Another crazy patriot.

        George/X/Anonymous is indeed Mad King George, but the only country he’s a patriot to is the 1950’s Soviet Union or Communist China today.

    1. The immigration law of the American Founders, the Naturalization Act of 1802, was never legally abrogated.

      Naturalization Act of 1804
      Naturalization Act of 1870

      Ooohhh… let’s fast forward! Immigration and Nationality Act of 1965; passed by the 89th United States Congress and signed into law by President Lyndon B. Johnson.

      Mad King George: you raging Confederate Democrat Marxist Kluxxer and liar: how is it that you forget to log in as your tranny persona “X” before you copy and re-past your lying Kluxxer BullSchiff practically every day?

      The American Founders also had us begin with only white males OWNING property (and land owning black males in some states) being able to vote.

      And so, Mad King George, you and the rest of the beta male Welfare Queens dependent on government socialism to survive in life would never have to debate how to vote – they didn’t want people like you voting in the first place.

  5. Freedom is not a lifetime warranty. When ignorance rots one leg, apathy weakens another, and dependency surrenders the third, citizenship collapses — and a foreign culture doesn’t conquer us, it simply walks in to replace the liberty we failed to maintain.

  6. These evil Ideas have no place in a free Society and Constitutional Republic. If they wish to live under such tyranny, they are free to move back to their own Country or emigrate from America to a communist country or Mohammedan Country.

  7. Communists and followers of Islam are natural allies in their pursuit of a slave state here in America and world wide. As giddy young communists rail against ‘genocide in Gaza’, A, Mady attacks ‘thieves’, that is billionaires, as if he is a doctrinaire Marxist.

      1. Spoken by a true autocrat who knows nothing about communism, socialism, capitalism, and Islamists (not Islam). You would do well living in a jail in any socialist (communist) country. You could do well, thinking about what you say.

  8. I seriously doubt a single Muslim walked out in protest, at that is what their ‘holy book’ preaches to them. That’s just for the Western press to lecture us on how ‘peaceful and tolerant’ the religion known as Islam is.

    1. It was probably 100 upper west side and Brooklyn nepo babies, or middle class wannabees, virtue signaling by attacking the lone Jew in the place.

      Trans for Sharia is all you need to say.

  9. Indonesia and India are similar in that both of them have about a quarter of a million citizens who are members of some denomination of Muslim faith. Each of them has about 12% of the world population of Muslims – pretty close to 25% of the world’s Muslims. They’ve figured out how to keep the Salafist/Wahaabist cult of Islam that fuels Hamas, Hezbollah, Black September, the PLO, Fatah and the original Muslim Brotherhood confined inside their mind cages. Rather than outside in the streets, engaging in violence while attempting to force their beliefs on the entire population.

    The question that comes to mind is that these two countries with massive Muslim populations are very effective in keeping the 7th century barbarians like this one from becoming a disruptive and potentially dangerous force in their countries. Particularly Indonesia, where Muslims are 90% of the population but six or seven other major religions are also recognized and interfaith relationships between those faiths and still existing aboriginal faiths are a characteristic of Indonesia.

    Indonesia (and India) are not the USA, but they are countries with free elections as well as new nations that have only existed for 80 years and still have internal power struggles. Despite those internal power struggles, they don’t let the Hajjis within their population get loose.

    I am left wondering how it is that Indonesia and India who must also have Salafist-Wahaabist savages among their population are able to keep them behaving as civilized people, while we here in the USA and Europe cannot.

  10. Abdullah Mady, a student and self-proclaimed Imam, calls for the tips of the fingers of “the filthy rich” to be cut off in accordance with Sharia law!!!!!! Zohran Mamdani, Mohammed bin Salman Al Saud, Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani, King Abdullah II, Mahmoud Abbas, Khalil al-Hayya, Tayyip Erdogan, Bashar Al Masri and the leadership of Hamas are all considered at risk. Watch for photos of gloved hands!

  11. If nothing else, this surely underscores the primitive and savage nature of islam. We need to rid the globe of this crude military cult masquerading as a religion. Anyone who now buys into that crap that islam is a religion of peace needs their head examined for proof of functioning grey cells.

    1. “We need to rid the globe of this crude military cult masquerading as a religion.” … A full fledged Christian Karen screaming KILL MUSLIMS”.
      At first I thought she was attacking the good ole USA. Silly me.

      1. Says the Demonizer of Christian women, who defends and condones Islamic rape gangs raping white, Christian women, justifying it in the name of Allah, to force the islamificaton of the west. Islam… totalitarianism wrapped up as religion represented by rapists, pedophiles, and homosexuals, walking around in bath robes.

      2. Silly you. INDEED!
        What would a Trojan Horse be without the internal traitors and spies to get it through the gates. Hostile intelligence calls you the Useful-Idiot engaged in espionage, sabotage, and subversion.

        1. Trojan horse? I’ll bet you see traitors and spies behind every corner. One can only imagine the demons that possess that empty skull of yours.

      A small addendum: anyone that thinks Islam is a ‘religion’ *period* needs to do more research. It is not a religion. It is a system of governance and doctrine for living of which religion is a part. Though there are indeed some more secular Muslims, it is a Western fallacy to imagine there is any equivalency to what we think of as ‘church’. To presume otherwise is sheer ignorance, but then again, the kids in question can barely tie their own shoes. Nevertheless, this is a problem we are GOING to have to address, all the way around.

  12. Even if it were a fact that Sharia Law is the most benevolent, loving, and tolerant version of law in the world (and this 7th century creature at CUNY demanding it didn’t exist), Sharia Law is completely at odds with the Constitution and what it provides for our state and federal law systems.

    Further to that, a government putting religious Sharia Law in place is the epitome of government putting a government religion in place.

  13. Anonymous the know it all at 9:09 said that both muslims and Christians hate jews. I attended a church in Colorado that has an Israel awareness day every year. The Jewish tradition is explained in many ways including plays about Jewish life. Traditional Jewish food is served. The Bible teaches that Christians are a graph on the vine and if they want to survive they must not destroy the tree that they are dependent upon. One year Benjamin Netanyahu attended the celebration. Will you ever make a real attempt to know what you are talking about instead of being an uninformed know it all. The more you post the more we come to understand that you are disillusioned dyed in the wool member of the ANTIFA party of America. Theres not an ounce of difference between your philosophy and the philosophy of the proud boys. The only difference is the color of the hat. You won’t sit next to a Jew at a lunch counter and neither would a proud boy. Like peas in a pod.

  14. Islam is anathema to human civilization and Islam must be wiped off the face of the earth. Any Muslim who refuses to renounce Mohammad and Islam is a cockroach, not a human.

    1. All men are made in the image of God, who manifests Himself as the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Even Muslims. Unfortunately, they, atheists, Jews, Hindus, polytheists, etc. are blinded to the Word of God, and He allows them the freedom to harden their own hearts via their arrogance and pride. Pray for wisdom, patience, that God will open their hearts and eyes, and minds that they might come to know Jesus and more importantly that Jesus will write their name in the Book of Life.

  15. Take a look at the angry photos in this reporting:
    https://www.timesofisrael.com/nyc-anti-zionist-groups-back-walkout-from-interfaith-campus-event-to-protest-hillel-leader/

    “Muslim or pro-Palestinian groups hailing from CUNY’s John Jay College, the Borough of Manhattan Community College, Brooklyn College, the College of Staten Island and the CUNY Graduate Center also shared statements in support of Mady, as did the Muslim American Society Youth Center in Brooklyn.”

    Multiply this x 50 states.
    America, you better wake up. before it’s too late.

    1. Deport them all and if naturalized citizens, revoke their citizenship and deport them.
      They are only here to kill Americans in the name of Islam.

  16. History shows that liberty’s downfall doesn’t begin with force, it begins with consent. The Declaration of Independence lists nothing more dangerous than governments that seize power “under the pretence of public good.” Every grievance in that document is a warning: tyranny often presents itself as moral reform – abolishing “corruption,” “immorality,” and “exploitation” for the “good of the people.”

    That is exactly the claim being made here: eliminate free speech, remove religious liberty, erase economic freedom, and call it justice. The concern is not just the rhetoric, but the response. We keep arguing about these ideologies as if they’re academic curiosities, while segments of our institutions begin to embrace them. The CUNY students didn’t walk out against extremism; they walked out with it.

    This is how free societies rot from within:

    – Ignorance of what liberty protects and why.

    – Apathy toward small infringements that don’t “seem to affect me.”

    – Dependency on imposed solutions that promise protection but deliver control.

    The founders understood that no tyranny rises without public permission. A society that cheers for the disappearance of liberty is volunteering for the very abuses the Declaration warns against.

    If we want to reverse this trend, the task is not just to criticize speeches, but to pressure our institutions to defend the principles they exist to teach: that freedom of conscience, speech, and enterprise are not “obstacles” to justice – they are the preconditions for it.

    Liberty doesn’t endure because people complain about losing it. It endures when citizens refuse to excuse those who wish to take it.

    1. CUNY should can his ass for promoting hate and violence to his students in CUNY classrooms under the fog of protected free speech in America.

      1. All the while we keep saying should, our culture keeps rotting under the ignorant belief that the “lifetime warranty” of citizenship will magically protect this country from collapsing. We keep assuming liberty maintains itself, and that belief becomes the blindfold extremists hide behind.

        What we refuse to see is that this warranty is being exploited from within — not by force from outside, but by movements already here, using our freedoms to dismantle the very freedoms they’re standing on. If we continue pretending our protections are automatic, we will wake up in the not-so-distant future with no warranty and no country left to defend.

        Liberty isn’t failing us.
        We are failing to maintain it — and someone else is lining up to inherit what we stopped protecting.
