Salam Al-MasriGuest[upbeat music] Are African Muslims taking over America? Well, they're certainly trying to.
It also includes Muslims with African roots or even with Middle Eastern roots that are very close to Africa.
An Egyptian Muslim, for instance, is an African Muslim because Egypt is in Africa.
But even Lebanese and Palestinian Muslims are very close, both religiously and culturally, to African Muslims.
So who are these African Muslims who want to take over America? Well, there's Ilhan Omar, a Muslim who was born in Somalia and whose family was part of the tribal conflicts in Somalia.
There's New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani, whose mother is Indian, but whose father is a Black African.
Mamdani campaigned actively for Daria Liza Avila Chevalier, who won the Democratic nomination for Congress in a New York congressional district.
She converted to Islam in 2018 and identifies as a Democratic socialist, just like Mamdani.
