Mamdani decries Islamophobia after ISIS-inspired protest bombing
People are fed up—do they even notice?
New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani told New Yorkers on Tuesday that “extremism and hatred of any kind will not be tolerated” in the Big Apple after the city reels from an ISIS-inspired bomb plot over the weekend.
Mamdani has been in the spotlight since Saturday, when two ISIS-inspired extremists threw homemade bombs at anti-Islam protesters gathered outside of Gracie Mansion. Mamdani, NYC’s first muslim mayor, has fielded questions about both the ISIS-inspired extremists and the anti-Muslim protesters since Saturday’s clash outside his residence.
“Extremism and hatred of any kind will not be tolerated in our city, and that is regardless of whatever ideology motivates any person to commit an act of violence. There is no tolerance for it here. What we want to deliver to New Yorkers is a city that is safe, is a city that believes in the values where everyone who calls it home is considered to be a part of it,” Mamdani said on Tuesday.
NYC BOMBING SUSPECTS CHARGED WITH SUPPORTING TERRORISM AFTER PLEDGING ALLEGIANCE TO ISIS IN CUSTODY
After initial reports said Gracie Mansion was evacuated on Tuesday after a suspicious package was reported on the street outside, it turned out to be a false alarm, and the mayor’s residence had not been evacuated. Bomb squad units were nearby on the scene at Carl Schurz Park. The New York City Police Department said the scene was cleared and “determined to be non-threatening.”
During a press conference about an expansion of early childhood education for three-year-olds on Tuesday, Mamdani addressed the terrorist bombing incident at the anti-Muslim rally, saying, “There is no tolerance for any kind of violence within that vision of our city or the way in which we lead the city.”
When asked about the threats he has received on the campaign trail and in office because of his Muslim religion, Mamdani said he is “deeply thankful” to the officers of the NYPD who have kept him safe and addressed Islamophobia in the city following Saturday’s protest.
“The thing that affects me more is not language that people use to describe me, but that it’s language that they use to describe so many who call this city home,” Mamdani said.
“Even as in that protest, there is a vision of a city that does not leave room for more than a million Muslims who call this city their home – and it is a vision that I abhor – I also still do believe that those protesters have a right to protest. And that is part of what it means to be able to stand up for …
