Mamdani’s NYC primary win sparks surge in anti-Muslim posts
Free Malaysia Today ^ | 6/29

People close to Republican President Donald Trump, including one of his sons, are among those spreading anti-Muslim rhetoric, say advocates.

Anti-Muslim online posts targeting New York City mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani have surged since his Democratic primary upset this week, including death threats and comments comparing his candidacy to the Sept 11 2001 attacks, advocates said today. There were at least 127 violent hate-related reports mentioning Mamdani or his campaign in the day after polls closed, said Council on American Islamic Relations (CAIR) Action, an arm of the CAIR advocacy group, which logs such incidents.

“That marks a five-fold increase over a daily average of such reports tracked earlier this month,” CAIR Action said in a statement.Anti-Muslim online posts targeting New York City mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani have surged since his Democratic primary upset this week, including death threats and comments comparing his candidacy to the Sept 11 2001 attacks, advocates said today.

This is Reuters, but they don't mention how many anti-Jewish posts this caused?

I don’t care that he’s a Muslim. I don’t want him because he’s a communist.

…Mamdani stole the election, to provoke these reactions.

I thought it was a done deal at first, but I’m not sure anymore that he will win.

Well, he’s just pretending to be Muslim, his real religion is leftism?

Because I’ve known too many Muslims who are decent people who just want to live here in peace, under the traditional American system that they chose.

(Do you think that all Muslims are horrible people?)

I don’t think he’s serious about much at all, except promoting his ego.

If you say so. But what makes you think that applies to Mamdani with respect to al-Islam? After all, his slogan “Globalize the intifada” is well known.

I’m aware that not all Mahometans follow what their religion says. But you jumped to a sweeping generalization notwithstanding.

And the problem with anti-muslim posts is - what exactly?

Islam is a murderous cult disguised as a religion. Prove me wrong. Change my mind.

Exactly what ‘generalization’ did I jump to?

I despise communism - is there some form of it that you think I should ‘like’?

I don’t despise Muslims. I treat them as individual human beings.

Seems pretty straightforward to me.

You jumped to the generalization that I may consider all Mahometans “horrible” because of Mamdani, merely because I felt his adherence to that religion in light of his past comments is a valid concern as much as his Marxist ideas. I did not even mention other Mahometans.
