Charlie Kirk Slammed for Anti-Muslim Attack on NYC Candidate Zoran Mamdani
…………………..

Prominent far-right commentator Charlie Kirk has come under fire for launching an Islamophobic and racist attack against Zoran Mamdani, the Muslim candidate who recently won the Democratic primary for New York City mayor.

Kirk sparked outrage by claiming Mamdani’s Muslim identity poses a threat to “the largest financial center in the West,” a remark widely condemned as discriminatory and fear-mongering. In a speech, Kirk provocatively asked whether it is acceptable for New York to have a Muslim mayor “like London,” framing Muslim leadership as a cultural and security threat.

He also targeted Arab and Muslim communities in Europe, describing cities with Arab-owned shops as “occupied,” echoing anti-immigrant rhetoric that rejects cultural diversity. Mamdani, known for his advocacy of social justice and criticism of Israeli policies, has faced smear campaigns portraying him as dangerous solely for his political stances and faith. Observers say Kirk’s comments fuel division and undermine core American values of pluralism and democracy.
