The Good Samaritan (The Mamdani Effect)

I'm saying this as a believer, from inside the faith. There's a Muslim mayor in New York — Zohran Mamdani — and by Jesus's own test, "by their fruit you will recognize them," he's doing more of what Christ commanded than most of the Christian politicians attacking him.

Jesus said the test isn't the label or how loudly you pray — it's the fruit, and doing the will of the Father, not just saying "Lord, Lord." So run the fruit against Matthew 25: froze rent on a million apartments (Isaiah 10 on unjust laws that deprive the poor), moved to open grocery stores for the hungry ("I was hungry and you gave me food"), expanded childcare (James 1:27 on widows and orphans), defended immigrants (Leviticus 19:34 on the foreigner), raised workers' wages (James 5:4). He's no saint and he's compromised — but the direction of the fruit points where Jesus pointed.

Meanwhile the loudest Christian critics stand exactly where the Pharisees and Sadducees stood — the performers Jesus called "whitewashed tombs," beautiful outside and dead within, and the establishment who monetized the faith for power. It's the Good Samaritan all over again: the insiders step around the bleeding man, the outsider stops.

What is your Bible for? Examine your branches, not your label.
