NEW YORK: Anti -Muslim online posts targeting New York City Mayor’s candidate Zohar Mamadani has increased this week after his victory in Democratic Primary, in which lawyers have reported violent threats and an increase in Islamophobic silver.
One day after the survey was closed, at least 127 violent hatred information mentions or its campaign, a day after the survey was closed.
CAIR Action said in a statement that such reports were five times the daily average of such reports earlier this month.
Overall, it noted about 6,200 online posts, which mentioned some forms of Islamophobic dirt or enmity in this day’s frame.
Former New York Governor Andrew Koomo confessed to the defeat, in the primary on Tuesday, a self -styled democratic socialist and 33 -year -old state lawmaker, Mamadani, announced the victory.
Born in Uganda for Indian parents, the city will be the city’s first Muslim and Indian American mayor to win the November general election.
“We call on government officials of every party – those whose allies are increasing these misconduct – unmatched condemn Islamophobia.”
The lawyer group said its hateful surveillance system included analysis of its own abuses and publications, online requests by the public and information from law enforcement agencies. CAIR Action said that about 62 62 % of the anti -Muslim posts against Mamadani have started with X.
Lawyers said that people close to Republican President Donald Trump, including one of his sons, are one of those who spread anti -Muslim statements.
The president’s son, Donald Trump Jr., wrote on the X on Wednesday that “New York City has fallen”, sharing a post that said that New Yorkrs voted “voted” on 9/11. On Wednesday, Republican US Representative Marjouri Taylor Green posted an upheaval photo of the statue of Liberty produced in a burqa.
President Trump has pursued domestic policies that rights supporters have declared anti -Muslim, including in their first term, banning travel from Muslim or Arab countries, and trying to deport Palestinian pro -students in their current term.
The White House, which did not respond to the request for comment, denied claims of discrimination against Muslims. Trump and his allies have said that they call Democrats the “radical leftist” theory of the Democrats, they oppose Mamadani and others.
Threats.
The New York City Police Department said its hate crime unit was investigating anti -Muslim threats earlier this month.
Stop Apa Hat co -founder Manjosha Kulkarni, who makes hateful documents against Asian Americans, and the Sear said that attacks against Mamadani have shot dead those who tolerate South Asian and Muslim political figures, including former Vice President Kamla Harris and Representative Alhan Omar.
Following the Hamas militant attack in October 2023, Republicans have called for their Palestinian supporters and their criticism of Israeli military attacks on Gaza.
Mamadani has condemned the enmity and has the support of New York City’s Camp Patroller Bradlander, who is Jewish. Lander also fled in the Democratic Primary.
Rights supporters have noted the growing enmity and Islamophobia since the beginning of the Israeli Gaza war, including US deadly incidents, including the firing of two Israeli embassy staff in Washington and a stabbing of a Muslim child in Illinois.
Mamadani and other Palestinian supporters, including some Jewish groups, said their criticism of Israel was wrongly contradictory.
