YouTube Description
as posted by the channelBefore, during, and after Zohran Mamdani became the Democratic nominee for mayor of New York City, Republicans and Democrats were both leaning into decades old Islamophobic tropes to delegitimize his candidacy. Meanwhile, young progressives are reclaiming those tropes.

To answer this, Brittany is joined by Tazeen Ali () , a professor of religion and politics at Washington University, and Nathan Lean () , professor of religion at North Carolina State University.
