CAIR: Mamdani’s Speech About Being Muslim Resonates Beyond New York City – New York Times
Mr. Mamdani’s candidacy has already had an effect as far away as the Deep South, said Emad Sabbah, a tech executive and board member of the Council for American-Islamic Relations in Atlanta.
Across Georgia, he noted, a record 12 Muslims are running for office this election — including Ruwa Romman, a Democratic state representative who is running for governor — and Mr. Mamdani’s political success has emboldened candidates in the deeply conservative state.
“As a Georgian Muslim, Mamdani’s speech struck a deep, emotional chord,” Mr. Sabbah said. “It wasn’t just political — it felt personal. His courage in calling out Islamophobia head on, while standing firm in his principles, was both inspiring and validating.”
