Episode Details

Muslim New Yorkers rose to meet Islamophobia after 9/11 by turning mosques into community centers and building civil rights networks, with Zohran Mamdani’s rise as mayor symbolizing progress — yet prejudice persists through surveillance and public backlash. The Times’ recent piece, released near the anniversary, highlights how Muslim Americans were scapegoated, forcing many to flee or fight back, while also noting how biases extend to Sikhs. Critics accuse the paper of one-sidedness, citing alleged support for extremism by some mosques, but the Times defends its balanced, decades-long coverage as essential to understanding the human and societal impact of 9/11.
