We're literally losing track of the number of Muslim attacks that have taken place in just the last two weeks. There were those two Pennsylvania teens who took advantage of unseasonably warm spring weather to take a drive into New York City and throw a couple of IEDs into a crowd. There was the killing of an ROTC instructor at Old Dominion University by a man who had been convicted for supporting ISIL. There was the rifle-toting man who drove his car full of explosives into a Michigan synagogue that doubled as a daycare. We're missing a couple.
According to Gothamist - which is powered by New York City's premier public radio station, WNYC - New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani has comforted the city's Muslims after "Islamophobic attacks."
No, really:
Gothamist (@Gothamist) ~ "We are enough": After Islamophobic attacks, Mamdani comforts NYC's Muslim community

Elizabeth Kim reports:
Just hours before he was set to speak at an event marking Ramadan, Mayor Zohran Mamdani realized he needed to overhaul his prepared remarks.
Hundreds of Muslims who work for the city were expected to join him to celebrate the holiday dedicated to charity and the less fortunate. But in the last few days, Mamdani and Muslims throughout the country had been subjected to a torrent of Islamophobia. ...
On Thursday afternoon, the mayor heavily reworked his remarks by hand at City Hall, according to Joe Calvello, his press secretary.
The result was a 10-minute speech in front of an audience of Muslim city workers where Mamdani celebrated their shared identity in the face of attacks on their faith and his politics. The mayor spoke about the enduring suspicion of Muslims since 9/11, men who are indiscriminately called “Muhammad” rather than their given name, and a recent viral video showing a storeowner confronting an NYPD officer for praying in his bathroom.
Tell ya what, Zohran, you sniveling lil' pussy ... if you are going to go around publicly wetting and crapping your trousers, why don't you do everyone a big favor and permanently move to your family's compound in Uganda. You should be safe there, lil' guy.
Bonchie (@bonchieredstate) ~ {Replying to @Gothamist} Oh, is that what happened this week? Islamophobic attacks? Beyond parody.
Matt Van Swol (@mattvanswol) ~ {Replying to @Gothamist} They actually did it ... they actually performed the meme.
End Wokeness (@EndWokeness) ~ {Replying to @Gothamist} This is not satire, right?
American Viking (@BourbonAndSavvy) ~ {Replying to @Gothamist} Last Saturday, a Muslim tried to blow up a peaceful protest in NYC. Last Wednesday, a Muslim attacked a synagogue in Michigan, and a terrorist-sympathizer attacked Old Dominion University. But also, some people said mean things about Muslims, so they're the true victims.
Nah ... no one really said any "mean things" to mooslims. Rather, they simply pointed out the undeniable truth that the death cult known as islam is not compatible with Western Civilization - or any civilization after the 7th century, that is.
Lisa Cappiello ( @LisaCappiello08 ) ~ {Replying to @Gothamist} Where did these "Islamophobic attacks" happen, exactly? Please be specific.
There were two mean tweets from a representative and a senator.
Zap_Rowsdower (@allhailbrak) ~ {Replying to @Gothamist} Oh, the self-fellating going on here is remarkable!
Thomas Raffles (@TomRafflesJr) ~ {Replying to @Gothamist} Are you completely f*cking detached from what has been happening the last week in the U.S.? Holy f*ck.
Invisible Constituent (@JustGreggo) ~ {Replying to @Gothamist} Absolutely f*cking insane headline. This is somehow worse than what CNN did. Post-truth era for sure.
Shane O'Brien (@njdevilz324) ~ {Replying to @Gothamist} When people talk about the reality that hurts our feelings, that’s the real hate crime.
Bob Kain (@NBBear2) ~ {Replying to @Gothamist} Yeah, it was really hard on the Muslim community having those bombs thrown by ISIS supporters.
Doc (@RealHolliday14) ~ {Replying to @Gothamist} Were the islamaphobes throwing IEDs into crowds or something? That would be a horrible attack and I would unequivocally condemn it, IF it happened.
BUT ...
Read the room, will you? This is really not the week for Muslims to play victim.
