Zohran Mamdani defends his Muslim faith amid ‘racist, baseless attacks’
AI Summary
New York City mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani delivered an emotional speech outside a Bronx mosque to address Islamophobic attacks from his opponents as early voting begins. Mamdani criticized his rivals for bringing "hatred to the forefront," affecting not only him but also nearly one million Muslims in New York. He highlighted that while he aimed to focus on affordability, Islamophobia has become a significant issue in the campaign. The speech came after former Governor Andrew Cuomo agreed with a radio host's suggestion that Mamdani would "cheer" another 9/11 attack, which was condemned as dangerous and disqualifying by Muslim advocacy groups.
