Following Zohran Mamdani's upset Democratic primary win for the New York City mayoral race, there has been a surge in anti-Muslim online posts targeting him.

Advocacy groups have documented an uptick in hostility and hate-related reports mentioning Mamdani or his campaign, including death threats and comparisons to the September 11th attacks.

These incidents are part of a broader trend in Islamophobic rhetoric that advocates say has intensified since the start of the Israel-Gaza conflict.

The rise in such cases reflects deep-seated challenges related to religious tolerance and digital discourse.
