‘Imam’ tells CUNY Muslim students to leave interfaith event because a ‘Zionist’ is present


The City University of New York said it is now investigating the shocking incident last week that targeted Ilya Bratman, an adjunct lecturer at Baruch College and the director of the Hillel Jewish campus organization. “I came here to this event not knowing I would be sitting next to a Zionist and this is something I am not going to accept,” said the Islamic scholar Abdullah Mady, referring to Bratman, according to an audio recording obtained by The Post. Mady — an alum of City College, with a bachelor’s degree in psychology and working toward a bachelor’s degree in translational medicine — was not immediately available for comment via a phone message and text.
