Summary: The article criticizes Zohran Mamdani’s allegations that New York City is a hotbed of Islamophobia, dismissing them as false and divisive. Mamdani’s personal anecdotes about his aunt’s discomfort after 9/11 and his teacher’s warnings about bullying are portrayed as insufficient to qualify as Islamophobia. Critics, including JD Vance, argue that Mamdani’s claims are politically motivated and ignore the city’s actual lack of anti-Muslim sentiment. The piece warns that Mamdani’s narrative could lead to harmful policies and calls for him to abandon this misleading portrayal of New York.
