Stephen “Redsteeze” Miller flagged The New York Times on Friday morning for offering not one, but two articles reminding America of their ugly “Islamophobia” after the mass murder of September 11, 2001. The Times once again proved themselves incapable of remembering 9/11 without bemoaning a "wave of hate" and "anti-Muslim prejudice."
Liam Stack and Maya King penned an article with this headline deck:
After 9/11, Islamophobia Shaped a Generation of Muslim New Yorkers
The attacks unleashed a wave of hate, but the years since have seen Muslim Americans’ political and cultural influence grow.
Maya King was the main author (with Jeffrey Mays) on this associated story:
Facing Islamophobia, Mamdani Keeps Focus on 9/11 Victims
In recent weeks, Mayor Zohran Mamdani has visited firehouses around New York City as part of an effort to direct the public’s attention toward the victims, and away from himself.
The Redsteeze tweet was popular enough that the Times public-relations shop actually responded with a huffy statement about how their 9/11 coverage was broad. "This is nothing more than a disingenuous attempt to seek attention and stoke outrage by misrepresenting The New York Times's journalism covering the anniversary and commemoration of the Sept. 11 attacks. In the 25 years since that day, we have led the way on reporting on the event, its human toll, and resulting societal shifts."

While it's obvious that their coverage has been broader, it doesn't excuse this dreadful bias -- especially on a significant 9/11 anniversary.
Any surveillance of Muslims or mosques is treated as prejudice, despite the obvious point that some mosques and their leaders support Islamist terrorism. "Islamophobia" is always an oppressive problem that America needs to overcome, and increasing political and cultural influence of Muslim leftists like Zohran Mamdani was treated like signs of progress. For people who claim to oppose organized hate, they can't seem to find any in Muslim circles.The Times has written puff pieces on Hasan Piker. whose embrace of Hamas is unavoidable and whose claim that America deserved 9/11 is unforgettable.
The Stack/King story barely touches on Ramzi Kassem, who is Mayor Mamdani's chief legal adviser, who also represented al-Qaeda terrorist Ahmed al-Darbi. Kassem calls it "structural racism" to oppose Islamism. But the Times platforms a Muslim activist claim that the ascent of leftist Muslims into government is a "classic and quintessential New York and American story."
Today, Mr. Dandia is the official historian of the borough of Brooklyn and an informal adviser to Mr. Mamdani. One of his lawyers in the 2013 lawsuit, Ramzi Kassem, is the mayor’s chief legal counsel.
“We went in the span of 10 years from suing the government to being the government,” Mr. Dandia said. “And I think that is a classic and quintessential New York and American story.”
The King/Mays story on Mamdani somehow doesn't mention Kassem at all, even as it mentions an anti-Mamdani petition on Change.org that refers to Kassem and his terrorist clientele. Instead, it's all disparaging the right-wingers:
As New York’s first Muslim mayor, Mr. Mamdani has been forced to navigate a delicate dynamic. He must speak about Sept. 11 as the city’s top elected official, but also as a member of a religious group that has faced hostility and suspicion since the attacks, and is still being vilified by right-wing factions of the Republican Party.
“It’s been 25 years, and I think America has gained a better understanding of Muslims,” said Husein Yatabarry, executive director of the Muslim Community Network, “and have come to accept Muslims holding positions of power and being in elected office and not looking at them as this boogeyman.
“But there’s a right-wing angst to bring back that level of Islamophobia against prominent Muslims in political life or even in regular daily life.”
Overall, you're only presented with pro-Muslim gush. There is no opposing point of view, just a citation of hatred and prejudice from Trump and the Republicans.
