If you've been reading every post on Twitchy as you should, you'll have seen the piece I published about members of British Parliament calling for an investigation of MP Nick Timothy, who posted on X that a mass Islamic prayer in London's Trafalgar Square attended by Mayor Sadiq Khan was "an act of domination" that mustn't happen again. "Perform these rituals in mosques if you wish," he said, "but they are not welcome in our public places and shared institutions."
The Muslims will be coming after End Wokeness after he posted New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani presiding over an Islamic public prayer service in Prospect Park:

This is at 1% of the US population. Are you able to extrapolate to what happens when that number reaches 5%? 10%? 20%? Keep burying your head in the sand. pic.twitter.com/ohYu3ZeQgr

After the Trafalgar Square takeover, Jonathan Sacerdoti published a piece in The Spectator stating that it wasn't racist to feel uncomfortable about Trafalgar Square becoming an open-air mosque. He wrote:
Behind this debate lies the idea that Islam is a religion of dominance, which seeks to confer the rest of us into adherents. It’s a proselytising religion, unlike, say, Judaism, which actively discourages conversion and makes it difficult to achieve. The Islamic concept of Dawah, coupled with the regular manifestations of violent Jihad the UK and the West have had to become accustomed to over recent decades, is one reason why many people feel a genuine and legitimate sense of unease when they hear the same words terrorists shout as they slaughter us, echoing across our nation’s primary public square. It is unsettling.
Many felt equally uncomfortable seeing videos circulate of Islamic prayer echoing through Windsor Castle, and more recently through Westminster Hall in the Houses of Parliament. The very room thousands had shuffled through to pay their respect to her late Majesty Queen Elizabeth II and Winston Churchill, in the heart of our Parliamentary buildings, now appeared to some to have been ‘conquered’. Both venues carry the weight of being iconic, historical settings which represent different branches of power in our nation, as does Trafalgar Square. They represent power through royalty, parliament, and military victory.
And now we have the mayor of New York City leading these mass public prayers. Never mind that his wife and "de facto campaign adviser" liked Instagram posts about the October 7 terrorist attack in Israel … she's not a public figure.
Does it make me uncomfortable? Yes, it does, as does the broadcasting over loudspeakers of the Islamic call to prayer. As I said in my earlier post, it reminds me of a dog marking its territory. As Sacerdoti wrote in his piece, its as if public spaces have been "conquered," and this is their way of showing it.

This was all so predictable. Truly awful for NYC.

The invasion is going quite well it seems

As London Mayor Sadiq Khan said, Britain is a Christian country … so why are boat after boat of Muslim men arriving and claiming asylum? There are nearly 60 Muslim countries.
Yet Margaret Brennan had an issue with Pete Hegseth asking for prayer for US Troops.

Yes, she did:
The Secretary of Defense tells the American public to pray for our troops on bended knee and invoke Jesus' name....

Plenty have mentioned that Brennan's husband is a Muslim.
Remember it’s an intended act of domination, and Mamdani participated

Elect a Muslim mayor, expect a Muslim city.

New Yorkers deserve it.
"Never forget," right?
