Zohran Mamdani Hits Back at Critics Amid Islamophobic Outpouring

Democratic nominee for New York City mayor, Zohran Mamdani, condemned Islamophobia and the hateful abuse he has received in recent days.

Mamdani slammed a rival candidate for laughing at the suggestion he would cheer on a 9/11-style attack.

“To be Muslim in New York is to expect indignity, but indignity does not make us distinct. There are many New Yorkers who face it. It is the tolerance of that indignity that does,”

Mamdani said, speaking to press outside the Islamic Cultural Center of the Bronx on Friday, defending his faith and blasting his opponents for bringing “hatred to the forefront.”
