Nationwide “Public” Radio can NOT discover the story of New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s spouse Rama Duwaji placing “Likes” on pages celebrating the October 7 bloodbath in Israel. But it surely CAN discover tales the place Mamdani is the sufferer of merciless Republican social media posts. GOP ‘Islamophobia’ is scorching information, and Muslim Democrat antisemitism will not be.
Reporter Brian Mann’s on-line article was splashed on NPR’s dwelling web page with this headline:
NYC’s Mamdani condemns Sen. Tuberville’s anti-Muslim posts as ‘bigotry’
It started:
New York Metropolis Mayor Zohran Mamdani is condemning a sequence of anti-Muslim social media posts by Republican Sen. Tommy Tuberville of Alabama as “bigotry.”
On X, Tuberville reposted a picture of Mamdani subsequent to a photograph of the lethal 9/11 terror assaults in New York Metropolis, together with the phrases “the enemy is contained in the gates.”
Mamdani, town’s first Muslim mayor, has been the topic of repeated verbal assaults through the Ramadan season now underway.
Tuberville’s second picture was Mamdani internet hosting the primary official Ramadan iftar at Metropolis Corridor. NPR, usually so hostile to the mingling of church and state, makes an exception for socialist Muslims. On Wednesday, the NPR discuss present 1A devoted a entire hour to “Christian nationalism” and the way “issues develop over the crumbling of the separation between church and state within the Trump administration’s army.”
Mamdani additionally hosted an iftar dinner on March 8 for Hamas-backing Mahmoud Khalil, who drew a laudatory sufferer profile on NPR this week. Khalil’s protest group at Columbia College not solely backed the October 7 slaughter like Mrs. Mamdani, they boasted on-line that “We’re Westerners preventing for the whole eradication of Western civilization.” They counsel oppressed territories of the world embody Hawaii, Guam, and Puerto Rico. Most Individuals would take into account that an “enemy” assertion.
On March 12, a Washington Free Beacon article by Jon Levine had a brand new scandal, that Mamdani’s spouse “offered a featured illustration for an essay by an writer who referred to as Hamas’s Oct. 7, 2023, assault ‘spectacular,’ has often decried what she describes as ‘Jewish supremacist vampires, and stated Jewish Israelis are ‘rootless soulless ghouls.'”
NPR could not discover that, however Mann platformed Mamdani’s lecture on tolerance:
“After I hear such hatred and disdain unchecked in its rancor, I really feel a loneliness and isolation that I do know lots of you’ve got felt as effectively,” Mamdani stated. “Who right here has been informed, you don’t belong in New York Metropolis? Who right here has been informed, return the place you got here from?”
On Thursday, Tuberville additionally claimed falsely that “Individuals are being gunned down within the streets nearly day by day by Radical Islamists.”
Specialists say assaults within the U.S. by Muslim extremists are uncommon and are “not resurgent,” in accordance with a 2025 research by the Heart for Strategic and Worldwide Research.
Republican leaders have been largely silent about Tuberville’s anti-Muslim posts. A rising variety of Democrats, in the meantime, have condemned his statements. New York Sen. Chuck Schumer, the Democratic minority chief, described Tuberville’s posts as “senseless hate.”
Are you able to imagine that? We do not have day by day shootings by radical Islamists. However in per week stuffed with violent assaults by radical Muslims — in Virginia, Michigan, and outdoors Mamdani’s mansion in New York — NPR goes to say assaults are RARE?
Even then, NPR “home extremism correspondent” Odette Yousef and host Scott Detrow by no means breathed the phrase “Muslim” in a March 13 night roundup of the Muslim violence. The following morning, Yousef did it once more — the assailant in Michigan was a “naturalized Lebanese American citizen,” and host Scott Simon solely used the M-word to confer with “an tried assault on anti-Muslim protesters in New York.”
Along with Mann’s article on Sen. Tuberville, NPR has been on a streak of GOP “Islamophobia” tales, leaping off Rep. Andy Ogles tweeting about Muslims being incompatible with America.
March 9: Tennessee GOP Rep says Muslims ‘do not belong in American society’
March 11: What function do politics play in elevated anti-Muslim rhetoric?
March 13: Muslim voters react to Rep. Andy Ogles’ feedback that they ‘do not belong’
March 13: Not like previous eras, anti-Muslim GOP rhetoric attracts little pushback from occasion leaders
March 14: Home GOP management silent as extra members publish anti-Muslim statements
This entire development is revealing, since vicious antisemitism amongst Muslim politicians, from Mamdani to Omar to Tlaib, “attracts little pushback” from so-called “public radio” journalists.
