Zohran Mamdani's run for NYC mayor fuels anti-Muslim rhetoric

Zohran Mamdani's NYC mayoral campaign has become a national symbol, drawing both pride from Muslim Americans and sharp criticism from the right. He faces Islamophobic attacks, including accusations of antisemitism and questioning his citizenship. Despite this, his candidacy offers hope for Muslim Americans, representing a significant moment in their assertion of political influence, though it also highlights the ongoing normalization of anti-Muslim rhetoric.
