Extremist streamer sparks outrage after declaring NYC an 'Islamic Republic'

"Allahu Akbar!" the extremist internet personality Sneako yelled amidst a group of Egypt soccer fans while drums were banged and horns were blown. Egyptian flags waved among the crowd as they chanted along.

Sneako, whose real name is Nicolas Kenn De Balinthazy, has been described as a provocateur and palled around with the online antisemitic far-right during his rise to social media stardom. Before that, he was all-in on his support for the political far-left and supported the presidential campaign of socialist Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., in 2016. He reportedly converted to Islam in 2023.

Mockingly wiping tears from his eyes, Sneako said, "Oh no, oh no. F--- you!"

"This is the Islamic Republic of New York-istan," he continued. "Islam will be in every household. Inshallah the whole world will be Muslim."

"Welcome to Mamdani's New York. You see this city? You see how it looks? Inshallah, your city looks just like this too," he shouted among the crowd.

"Inshallah" is Arabic for "God willing," and "Allahu Akbar" is Arabic for "God is great."

The clip of Sneako quickly circulated on the web, garnering tens of millions of views across platforms including Instagram and X, while thousands of people slammed him for the pronouncement.

One of the sharpest replies came from Rob O'Neill, the Navy SEAL who killed Osama bin Laden in an early morning raid on the terrorist's compound in 2011.

"These guys sound WAY different when you wake them up at 2am," he said.

A pair of massive personalities on X, who have a history of bad blood, even teamed up to demand a harsh punishment for the streamer.

"Deport him NOW!!!" conspiracy theorist Alex Jones said in reply to the clip, which elicited a response from X owner and former Jones opponent Elon Musk.

"Yes," Musk simply replied.

One X user labeled the streamer as a "Disgusting creature."

"Send this dude to Iran if he hates America so much," said another.

Sneako appeared to cryptically address the controversy in a post of his own on X Sunday night.

"Every knee will bow," he posted. "Every tongue confess."

"Go back to Africa," he told Musk, who is native to South Africa. "This is my country."

Mamdani's office did not return Fox News Digital's request for comment on Sneako's comments.

Editor's note: This story has been updated to clarify the headline language. "Allahu Akbar" is a common Islamic expression meaning "God is great," though it has also been invoked by extremists during terrorist attacks.
