Abstract

The article focuses on the Islamophobic and reactionary backlash triggered by Zohran Mamdani's potential to become New York City's first Muslim mayor. Topics include the spread of anti-Muslim propaganda by right-wing politicians, comparisons to McCarthy-era fearmongering, and Mamdani's background as a Democratic Socialist with deep academic and cultural roots.
