Zohran Mamdani's rise in the New York mayoral race sparks anti-Muslim vitriol 28 mins ago Zohran Mamdani’s rise in New York City’s mayoral race has brought him national prominence and a surge of anti-Muslim vitriol, including from elected officials and prominent conservatives. A win in November would make him the city’s first Muslim mayor. In September, a man was charged with making death threats against him that referenced his religion. His candidacy highlights both the persistence of anti-Muslim discrimination since 9/11 and the pride felt among Muslim Americans. Politicians from both parties have ramped up attacks on Mamdani’s progressive politics and criticism of Israel.
