Mamdani said during a 2017 podcast appearance that he has helped his father, Mahmood, edit his speeches and writings in an effort to “stay engaged” with his work. The elder Mamdani, a radical Columbia University professor, has called for a “Third Intifadah against settler colonialism,” described suicide bombers as a “category of soldier,” and wrote shortly after 9/11 that there was a “moral equivalence” between the al Qaeda attack and retaliatory U.S. bombing of Afghanistan, the Free Beacon reported.
He devoted his most recent book, Slow Poison, to defending Ugandan dictator Idi Amin. Amin, often known as the “Butcher of Uganda,” was responsible for the killings of about half a million people during his eight-year reign. Mahmood Mamdani calls Amin’s expulsion of Uganda’s Asian population—described in the book as “captive to a self-aggrandizing elite”—one of the projects that helped make the dictator “the father of the Ugandan nation.”
Mahmood Mamdani is Columbia professor who described suicide bombers as “a category of soldier.”
