Tbh I’d expect low crime rates with Sharia law. It’s notoriously pretty harsh with punishments, like cutting off the hands of thieves or whippings for various crimes. I like Mamdani, but I don’t really see how the two ideas are connected to each other
Punitive criminal systems are notoriously bad at reducing crime, actually.
Honestly, I had expected that it was a minor improvement (and it was - something like three fewer murders), and insofar as I would have seriously credited Mamdani at all, I would’ve attributed it to the general positive mood after Mamdani’s victory - he certainly is very charismatic and active in the community, and such things do have an effect in the public mood and awareness.
However, someone else pointed out this was, apparently, the coldest January in the past decade, so that’s the more likely culprit.
The link you’re missing is that Sharia Law is a brown people thing and brown people are all aggressive and murderous and hate the US and hate freedom and I can’t keep up this satire any longer, Jesus fucking Christ, what has this world come to

A lot of people geniuenly think like that. Not even old, a ton of highschoolers just spread those ideas around because it’s “dark humour.”
I don’t like living in south.
Any statistics that back it up? I think making people unhappy and promoting casual violence can lead to bad things
It’s more just pointing out that the two thoughts are completely unrelated to each other. It’s a non-sequitur
