The anti -Muslim post being targeted online by targeting Johran Mamdani, the candidate for New York City, has increased this week. These include the threats of death and their candidature compared to the September 11, 2001 attacks. A branch of the Council on American Islamic Relations Advocacy Group (CAIR) Action has said that after the end of the polling, at least 127 violent and hate reports were made about Mamdani.
CAIR Action has mentioned about 6,200 online posts, which mentions Islamophobia in some form or the other. Mamdani, a self-proclaimed Democratic Socialist and 33-year-old MLA, announced a victory in primary on Tuesday, when former New York Governor Andrew Kuomo gave up.
Mamdani can become the first Muslim mayor of New York
Born in Uganda, Indian parents born in Uganda, if they win the general election to be held in November, they will be the first Muslim and Indian American mayor of the city. Basim Lakra, Executive Director of CAIR Action, said, “We call public officials of every party including strong condemnation of Islamophobia.”
According to Don’s report, advocates have said that people close to President Donald Trump, including one of his sons, are among the anti -Muslim rhetoric. The President’s son Donald Trump Jr. on Wednesday wrote on X, “New York City has fallen” while sharing a post, saying that the people of New York had “voted for 9/11”.

Republican US representative Marjori Taylor Green posted an AI-Janred photo of the Statue of Liberty wrapped in the burqa. The New York City Police said earlier this month that their hatred was investigating anti -Muslim threats against the crime unit Mamdani.
Manjusha Kulkarni, co -founder of Stop AAPI Hate, who documentes hatred against Asian Americans and CAIR said the attacks against Mamdani are like other South Asian and Muslim political personalities like attacks, including former vice -president Kamla Harris and Representative Ilum and Rashida Telib.
What did Mamdani say when it was declared anti -Jew?
The Republican Party has termed him anti -Jew due to Mamdani’s advocacy of Palestine and criticizing the Israeli military attack on Gaza after Hamas militants attack in October 2023. Mamdani has condemned the anti -Jewish spirit and said that he has the support of Brad Lander, the controller of New York City, who is Jews. Lander also participated in Democratic Primary.
Other Palestinian advocates, including Mamdani and some Jewish groups, said their criticism of Israel has been incorrectly associated with anti -Jewish spirit.
