  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

pssst... we're talking about the new Mayor of NYC - not the GOP or Trump - those boogey men aren't part of the conversation.
I am pretty sure you don't get to decide what people in this threat are talking about.

But the actual topic of the threat, going by the OP, are the attacks of right wing figures on Mamdani.

Back to the topic, Rep. Andy Ogles doesn't disappoint.

Rep. Andy Ogles (R-TN) is under fire Friday after posting a lengthy video generated with artificial intelligence depicting New York City Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani kissing Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) wearing a traditional Native American headdress, and the city falling into chaos under Sharia Law, an apparent dig at Mamdani’s Islamic faith.

Ol’ Tuberville didn’t either:

“We lost New York. It will be completely Muslim in three or four years. That’s what they want. They’re gonna have everything free there for them and they’re just going to spread throughout the country. I think we oughta pack him up and send him home. My God, we do not need that anywhere in this country, especially New York. You know, it’s– what a great city that was. But he’s gonna manage to bring it all the way down.” -Sen. Tommy Tuberville, on Steve Bannon’s podcast.

Curious what he thinks is going to become of the other 81% of the citizens of NYC…

JLL fires top broker who compared Mamdani to Hitler

Scott Panzer fired after making inflammatory comments in office-wide email

Panzer went on: “I will just throw one more provocative comment out here — while in Istanbul on holiday I didn’t mind hearing the adhan five times a day for the few days I was there — I would not want that to be a 365 day event,” Panzer wrote, referring to the Islamic call to prayer. “But alas, this too is just around the corner for NYC.”

Panzer was fired later in the afternoon. A source indicated that the comments, viewed as Islamophobic, were the reason for the firing.

They are ALWAYS part of the conversation. Nazi bogeymen are always germane.
