SNEAKO’s Controversial Claims About NYC
A well-known YouTuber, SNEAKO, has made headlines by labeling New York City, under Democratic Socialist Mayor Zoran Mamdani, an Islamic state. He expressed his views by saying, “Islam will be in every home,” and claimed that if it was God’s will, the entire world would become Muslim.
At a recent outdoor event in NYC, SNEAKO, who has 1.32 million subscribers, shouted, “Allah Akbar!” and then remarked, “Oh, no, no, no… Damn it. This is the Islamic Republic of New York.”
He continued his speech by insisting that, inshallah (if God wills), Islam will reach every household and that the world will follow suit. “Welcome to Mamdani’s New York. Do you know what this city looks like? Inshallah, your city will resemble this one,” he said.
Commentator Alex Jones reacted to the video, urging for SNEAKO’s deportation, and Elon Musk seemed to agree, exclaiming, “Yes!” However, it’s worth noting that SNEAKO, whose real name is Nicolas Kenn De Balinthazy, is an American citizen.
In a separate incident, Australia reportedly banned SNEAKO for life after concerns arose regarding his controversial online content while he was in the country under a visa. Home Secretary Tony Burke stated that this decision was made to protect Australian residents “from people who come to this country to spread hate.” He elaborated that not only was SNEAKO’s visa canceled, but he is also permanently barred from applying for another.
On social media, responses to SNEAKO’s claims varied, with many backing calls for his deportation. One user remarked that it’s interesting how individuals who boast about Islam’s global influence often react with accusations of Islamophobia when faced with criticism. Another user declared, “We don’t want you here. We’ll never let you win. Go home.”
Some comments were laced with humor, like one user recalling that SNEAKO seemingly broke down upon hearing about the killing of Iran’s supreme leader. Another user described him as a “good performer” but pointed out a disconnect in his accent compared to his background.
Professor Gad Saad raised a thought-provoking question about demographic shifts in the U.S., asking how many followers of Islam would create concerns. He painted a picture of how a Jewish person might feel in such a crowd in New York City.
The conversation around SNEAKO sparked a mix of opinions online, with some suggesting he should be sent to an Islamic state and others expressing their strong feelings against his presence in the U.S. One felt so strongly that they called for making Islam illegal altogether.
