“Your posts play into some of the worst stereotyping of America’s Muslims, who are a vastly diverse and overwhelmingly law-abiding community,” CAIR-LA attorney Chehata’s letter to Dow continued. “These posts regurgitate anti-Islamic propaganda and appeal to the basest human impulse – to fear and marginalize those who do not look like you, worship like you, or share your race or ethnicity.”

Compounding that climate, the pro-Israel advocacy group known as the Anti-Defamation League, or ADL, has established a “Mamdani Monitor” — an unprecedented public tracker that promises to scrutinize the incoming administration’s appointments, policies and funding decisions…

The Council on American-Islamic Relations condemned the monitor this week as hypocritical and anti-Muslim, noting the bigotry in singling out one Muslim mayor for an industry-grade surveillance project. Its critique that such a monitor promotes a double standard is not an argument against protecting Jewish New Yorkers from hate; it is a plea for consistent standards and for safeguards against normalizing extra scrutiny of Muslim leaders.
