Mahmood Mamdani, the father of New York City Democratic mayoral nominee Zohran Mamdani, is facing scrutiny online over his alleged statement in a 2004 book that suicide bombing as a tactic shouldn't be "stigmatized as a mark of barbarism."

He said: "Suicide bombing needs to be understood as a feature of modern political violence rather than stigmatized as a mark of barbarism. We need to recognize the suicide bomber first and foremost, as a category of soldier."

Now, to be fair, Mamdani is not his father. However, Mamdani was financially supported by his father throughout his entire 20s since he didn't have a real job, and he is still very close to his family. He has never once attempted to distance himself from their views.

I guess it´s how American politics work, no? Sooner or later someone shows up and says that Your brother´s mother in law´s uncle said something in 1969, and how dangerous this is. So everything You could possibly say - is dangerous as well.

Instead of worrying about this, one could also think about solutions for actual problems.

You'll have to wait for him to stop electrocuting it, first.

Violent jihad is a command. It's a religious imperative to billions of people.

I don't know why this is some sort of shocking revelation.

Anyone with a reasonable amount of knowledge of 1,400 years of that particular history should be like "No duh. Of course he does."
