"Muslims Move to Assert Political Power in New York City
Zohran Mamdani’s ascension to mayor has given Muslim organizers and faith leaders the impetus to involve themselves in more formal political alliances and networks.
As a wave of Islamophobic attacks began to spread late in the New York City mayoral race, Zohran Mamdani was quick to respond. He traveled to a mosque in the Bronx to denounce the offensive remarks, surrounding himself with a group of key allies: Muslim faith and community leaders.
It was a telling show of support and kinship among an emergent voting bloc that was quietly coalescing within their communities for years, but whose political power was only beginning to emerge.
Now, with Mr. Mamdani at the helm of City Hall, Muslim New Yorkers are moving to expand their foothold in the city’s organizing networks and to build on their progress after the mayoral election. And they have focused their efforts on the Bronx."
Perhaps, progressives can explain why this is a good thing? Why does the US need Muslim immigration?
Islam is not just a religion. It is a foreign political and legal system.
