“This is the Islamic Republic of New York-istan,” he said. “Islam will be in every household. Inshallah the whole world will be Muslim.”
Popular Youtuber turned Kick steamer Sneako took to the streets of New York after Egypt's world cup win over Australia to declare that Islam would take over New York City. The controversial streamer, whose real name is Nicolas Kenn De Balinthazy, broadcast the celebration on the streaming platform Kick as crowds of Egyptian soccer fans waved flags, beat drums, and celebrated the team's win over Australia.
During the live stream, reported by Fox, Sneako shouted "Allahu Akbar," before making a series of remarks referencing New York City and Mayor Zohran Mamdani.
"This is the Islamic Republic of New York-istan," he said. "Islam will be in every household. Inshallah the whole world will be Muslim." He also added, "Welcome to Mamdani's New York. You see this city? You see how it looks? Inshallah, your city looks just like this too."

Sneako has built a large dedicated online platform and has consistently been at the center of controversy. He has previously been associated with several far-right internet personalities and reportedly coveted Islam in 2023.
Earlier in his career, he publicly supported the presidential campaign of Sen Bernie Sanders. Clips from the livestream quickly spread across social media, generating millions of views and drawing criticism from many users.
Among those responding was former Navy SEAL Rob O'Neill, who wrote on X, "These guys sound WAY different when you wake them up at 2am," referencing the raid that killed Osama bin Laden.

Elon Musk replied with a one-word response: "Yes." Many other users also condemned Sneako's comments, with some calling for him to leave the country.
