New @washingtonpost poll finds 45 percent of likely voters would not consider voting for a Muslim for president, including 78 percent of Republicans
That has to be at or near the top of American prejudices

Shanah Tovah, New York!
Wishing all Jewish New Yorkers celebrating a sweet, joyful, and meaningful Rosh Hashanah. Here���s to a new year filled with health, happiness, and blessings (and yes, even another Knicks championship).
Ashura is a time of remembrance, sacrifice and reflection.
Today, on the 10th day of Muharram, we are reminded of Imam Hussain's unwavering commitment to truth and dignity. His timeless legacy reminds us of the enduring values of faith, service to one another, and the belief that justice is always worth fighting for.
Our City’s strength comes from the many faith traditions that shape it — and our shared struggle against injustice and oppression.
May we carry these values forward as we continue building a more just City for every New Yorker.
As Muslims in New York City and around the world mark the beginning of the Islamic New Year, Muharram calls us to reflect on the values of justice, compassion, and moral courage that guide us in our lives and our communities.
As we welcome this new year, may it renew our commitment to one another and to the work of building a city where every New Yorker can live with dignity and opportunity.
Eid Mubarak!
Today as we honor Prophet Ibrahim, Eid al-Adha reminds us that sacrifice is not a burden. It is an opportunity to see ourselves as part of something larger. To extend a hand to those who need it most.
I am honored to be New York City's first Muslim Mayor and I am determined to lead through solidarity. Together, we are working to ensure every New Yorker can afford the groceries, housing, and child care they need.
Our solidarity is our strength. Eid Saeed, New York.
Frum is both out of his depth and lying about Muslims as usual. Lander beautifully recited Surah Ikhlas, one of the most famous chapters of the Quran which affirms the oneness of God. It says nothing about Christianity and is an affirmation of monotheism:

Amin Abdullah.
He stood his ground so others could make it home safely.
When gunmen opened fire outside the Islamic Center of San Diego, Amin protected the community until his final moments. Police say his actions prevented the attack from becoming far worse.
Support Amin’s family with funeral costs, immediate household needs, education for his children, and long term financial stability.
May Allah accept him amongst the martyrs and grant patience to his loved ones. 🤲

Alhamdulillah, on Friday night I had the opportunity to attend the “Sunni and Shi’a?” event with Shaykh @YasirQadhi where we engaged in a respectful, productive and friendly dialogue about the differences between the two schools of thought.
The atmosphere was amazing and the attendees truly felt the brotherhood between the scholars and their respective traditions. This event, which in some senses, was the first of its kind, was a monumental moment for dialogue and discussion. I pray it leeds to more fruitful discussions in the future.
Special thanks to Sh Yasir for how gracious he was throughout the session and thank you to NUUN and @dallas_youth for organizing the event.
The recording will be posted to the Youtube channels soon iA.
I am aware of the disturbing incident targeting worshippers during Friday prayers outside the Baitul Mamur Mosque in Brooklyn, where a man praying was struck with an egg. That hateful act is unacceptable and an affront to the values that define us as New Yorkers. My administration is committed to rooting out anti-Muslim hate in all its forms and ensuring every New Yorker can live and worship in safety and dignity. The NYPD Hate Crime Task Force is investigating this incident.
