A streamer who broadcasts to more than 1 million followers on a popular online platform set off a viral firestorm after invoking Mayor ‘s name as he declared Islam would take over New York City.
“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.

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.
