There is a hatred in America that still dares to speak its name — loudly, publicly, and without fear of consequence. It doesn’t hide behind euphemisms or coded language. It mocks, it smears and it flourishes in the open. That hatred is Islamophobia. Today, it remains one of the last socially and publicly acceptable forms of bigotry.
Muslims are a community that leading political figures can still slander on air, that journalists can frame as suspect by default, and that candidates can use as props in their culture-war campaigns without major consequences or jeopardizing their careers.
Recently, Andrew Cuomo, New York City mayoral candidate and the former governor of New York, went on conservative radio, and remarked, “God forbid, another 9/11, can you imagine Mamdani in the seat?” referring to assemblymember and fellow New York City mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani. His host Sid Rosenberg responded, “He’d be cheering.” Cuomo chuckled and added, “That’s another problem.”
Two grown men, both long-time fixtures in New York’s media and political ecosystem, casually and publicly imagined a Muslim lawmaker “cheering” during a mass-casualty terror attack, simply because of his faith, and they treated it like small talk. The insinuation is vile and dehumanizing — that an elected official would celebrate the slaughter of his fellow New Yorkers just because he is Muslim.
Even CNN’s Dana Bash reportedly could not resist framing Mamdani as a “controversial candidate” who, if elected, would be New York City’s first Muslim mayor “on the 25th anniversary of 9/11” — provocatively manufacturing a connection between his faith identity and the terror attacks.

A “phobia” is an irrational fear. There is nothing irrational about fearing Muslims.

I’m sure the next article will be about how it is socially acceptable to criticize Christians. (sarc)
Islamophobia - they’ve earned it! And I would not call it a phobia …. It is knowledge of and respect of their history. And prep to counter it.
And FU Zainab Choudry!
Islamaphobia is a made up word so they could get away with what they are/were doing.
OMG, have they completely forgotten 9/11 and the other atrocities and acts of terrorism perpetrated here in the name of Islam? Islamics shouldn’t even be allowed to step foot in the country as far as I’m concerned. Call it bigotry all they want, I call it self preservation. I don’t want stinking rotten Islam anywhere near me and mine.
There shouldn’t be a single muslim in America.
60s generation decided to ditch Christianity and to make ‘diversity’ the national religion. Any and all who questioned it were heretics who must be silenced, fired from jobs, ostracized from society.
So here we are.
That hatred is Islamophobia. Today, it remains one of the last socially and publicly acceptable forms of bigotry.
Same playbook as Zer0- if you opposed anything he did, you were racist.
Now if you oppose commieMamdani, you are an islamophobe.
We should all laugh in their faces.
Islam must be exterminated.
Islamophobia is a term used like “homophobia” to intimidate those who might correctly identify things that are an existential threat, deviancy, or both.
Why keep posting The Hill? They’ve gone off the deep end.
Shout out to Charles Martel!

The Hill is trash and this article is islamic Taqiyya.
Fear no, hate yes! If Islamaphobia can mean hating a terrorist, murderous belief system like Islam, then yes, I hate Islam.
socially acceptable?
more like expected normal thought behavior!
