Story summary

Rudy Giuliani and other individuals claiming to represent 9/11 victims' families criticized the idea of the current Muslim mayor of NYC attending the 9/11 memorial at ground zero on Friday. This criticism was part of a broader narrative that includes Republican politicians promoting conspiracy theories about Islamification, while figures like Tucker Carlson gain support from Muslim audiences despite his anti-Muslim views. Additionally, a law-abiding Muslim family has been imprisoned for five months due to claims by Senator Marco Rubio that they pose a national security threat, with little media attention given to the issue.
