New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani is now facing fury from Muslim worshippers, who have accused him of "promoting Islamist extremism".
On Tuesday night, protesters will gather outside Gracie Mansion, his official residence, to demonstrate against the socialist mayor's policies - which they say have alienated to moderate Muslims.
Mr Mamdani is also facing anger among staunch pro-Palestinian supporters, who have claimed the Mayor has not shown strong enough support to their cause since taking power in January. Among those who will take to the streets is Anila Ali of the American Muslim and Multifaith Women’s Empowerment Council, who has accused Mr Mamdani of harming relations between the city's Jewish and Islamic residents.
She told Fox News: "With Mamdani in office, we feel our religion is now hijacked once again and is being used by these Islamists." Ms Ali described herself as an advocate for New York's moderate Muslim inhabitants in the post-9/11 era, who believe the religion can peacefully co-exist in American society.
She said Islamist groups in the US do not have the backing of moderates - and warned they have seized control of the representation of Islam in the US.
