💨 Abstract

Zohran Mamdani, a Democratic Socialist candidate for New York mayor, is facing Islamophobic attacks and misinformation. False claims that he wants to implement Sharia law have been spread online, despite his platform focusing on affordability and inclusion. Republican Representative Andy Ogles and former Governor Andrew Cuomo have made inflammatory remarks about Mamdani, with Cuomo joking about Mamdani's response to another 9/11.
