Online personality Sneako has ignited controversy following remarks made during a livestream in New York City, prompting calls for his deportation from figures like Alex Jones. A clip circulating on social media shows Sneako filming in a large public gathering, making provocative statements about Islam and the city's future.
Allahu Akbarโฆ (Mockingly) โOh no! Oh no!โ **** you! This is the Islamic Republic of New York-istan. Islam will be in every household. InshaโAllah, the whole world is Muslim. Welcome to Mamdaniโs New York. You see this city? You see how it looks? InshaโAllah, your city looks just like this too.
In the video, Sneako appeared to embrace what he described as an increasing Islamic presence, stating, "Allahu Akbarโฆ (Mockingly) โOh no! Oh no!โ **** you! This is the Islamic Republic of New York-istan. Islam will be in every household. InshaโAllah, the whole world is Muslim. Welcome to Mamdaniโs New York. You see this city? You see how it looks? InshaโAllah, your city looks just like this too."
The clip quickly drew criticism on X, with many users labeling the remarks as inflammatory. The debate surrounding the video has extended to discussions about religion, politics, and public discourse online. Alex Jones amplified the controversy by sharing the clip and demanding, "Deport him NOW!!"
Deport him NOW!!
Author and psychologist Gad Saad also weighed in, sharing the video and raising concerns about demographic shifts and religious influence in the United States. Saad posed questions about the potential impact of increasing religious demographics, asking, "What is the percentage that would cause you to take notice? This scene is filmed in NYC. If you were a Jewish person walking with a large Star of David among that crowd, how would it play out?" A technology billionaire responded to Saad's post with the single word, "Troubling."
Let us suppose that the demographic realities in the United States shift such that 10% of the country is populated by supporters of this religion. Would this cause you concern? What if it were 20%? 30%? What is the percentage that would cause you to take notice? This scene is filmed in NYC. If you were a Jewish person walking with a large Star of David among that crowd, how would it play out?
