Zohran Mamdani appears to have won the New York City Democratic Mayoral Primary, pending ranked-choice voting tabulation expected by July 1. Mamdani’s lead is considered substantial.
Right-wing news outlets and blogosphere are upset, with some claiming, “America was founded on Judeo-Christian principles.” One blog commenter responded to me, stating:
Islam is incompatible with western civilization.
My original post had been:
New York City has been a disaster for decades. Ran by Jews and/or Christians during the whole time. Personally, I don’t believe a Muslim could run it any worse.
The Abrahamic religions—Judaism, Christianity, and Islam—seem locked in an endless struggle over who “owns” God. Anthropomorphism aside, it’s likely that “God” doesn’t possess human traits, which is probably a good thing for humanity.
