I will be a Muslim man in New York City.

It just shows the idea of a Muslim woman wearing a hijab and feeling uncomfortable after 9/11 is so foreign to the right wing in this city and this country that the only answer to them is that it must be a lie.

I will no longer look for myself in the shadows— I will find myself in the light.

I’m trying to be a mayor so honest that you come back to New York City, my brother.

It’s a politics of division.

It was, in fact, a reflection of Islamophobia within our political system that has become so endemic.

Whether it’s JD Vance or it’s Andrew Cuomo, it is the same kind of politics.

Cheap jokes about Islamophobia, so as to not have to recognize what people are living through.

This is all the Republican Party has to offer.

I find the comments that Hasan made on 9/11 to be objectionable and reprehensible.

I want to speak to the memory of my aunt, who stopped taking the subway after September 11th because she did not feel safe in her hijab.

I continue to be confident of our ability to deliver a rent freeze, and I continue to be confident that we will be able to match whatever last minute betrayal that Eric Adams tries to concoct.
