57 h. ago New York’s mayoral race exposes the deep roots of American Islamophobia | Ahmed Moor

Islamophobic attacks on Zohran Mamdani are a reminder of the difference between individual and structural prejudiceMy only interaction with the FBI came soon after 11 September 2001. A man and woman visited my family’s home in Philadelphia – we had recently moved from Palestine – showed their credentials and asked to enter. My parents invited them in and a conversation about political views followed. They left soon afterwards but I knew we were suspect, and I understood why.At the time, I was in high school. Two or three years later, one of my sisters, who wore the hijab then, was confronted by an elderly white man at a department store. “What’s the significance of the trash you’re wearing on your head?” he asked.Ahmed Moor is a writer and fellow at the Foundation for Middle East Peace Continue reading...

1 week ago Something stinks in Philadelphia – and it’s not just the uncollected garbage | Arwa Mahdawi

The city won’t give its sanitation workers the rise they are asking for. But there’s no shortage of money for the police or mayor Cherelle Parker and her inner circleIf nobody stopped me, I could talk about urban sanitation for hours on end. Unfortunately, somebody (normally my wife) always stops me – usually in the first minute or two. It seems few people share my pathological fixation with littering and ways to optimise waste management.Until recently, that is. Now every single resident of Philadelphia, my home town, is talking trash. Almost 10,000 city workers, members of the city’s largest blue-collar union, have been on strike since last Tuesday, affecting everything from libraries to public swimming pools. But the most visible signs of the strike are the huge piles of trash that are accumulating (nicknamed “Parker Piles” after mayor Cherelle Parker) because there is no garbage pickup. Did I mention it’s boiling hot? You can imagine the situation. The rats are in heaven; I am i...
