Mr Mamdani is running for Mayor of New York City, and many think he has the best chance of winning, after having won the Democratic Party primary earlier this year.
I suggest some New Yorkers ask the candidate a question. Recently in Indonesia 2 young college students, age 20 and 21, were apprehended in a men's room kissing. They were charged with a homosexual act. The Shariah Court ruled they deserved 85 whacks with a cane, but since they had served 4 months incarceration already, and were good students and polite in court, the judges chose lenience - a mere 80 strokes of the cane, each.
My question to candidate Mamdani, does he think this an appropriate punishment for homosexuals? Or perhaps another penalty used in the Middle East, throw the culprit from a high building. New York City has many high buildings that could be used. But for the public to enjoy the spectacle, there might be splash nights at the base of the Empire State Building, alternating with the Chrysler Building. It would add an auro of religion to the aging skyscrapers. Traffic would have to be diverted, as no one would want blood splashed on their cars or windshields.
What does candidate Mamdani think of my modest proposal? As a Muslim, he surely must support Shariah law. But let him say it.---------HUGH MURRAY
