It's the Brian Laira show on WNYC. Good morning again, everyone.

So as we head toward the end of Ramadan, we want to open up the phones for Muslim listeners now to say what you've been

thinking about during the Holy Month this year. How much has this year's observance been more

of a personal reflection for you about things in your life, or how much have you been thinking

of anything in politics or society outside yourself? both is an acceptable answer.

Again, as we head toward the end of Ramadan, we want to open the phones for Muslim listeners

now to say what you've been thinking about during the Holy Month this year, personal,

political, about the war, about Mayor Mamdani, or whatever, 212, 433-9-6-92, call or text.

And one thing locally, of course, is that New York City has a Muslim mayor for the first

time.

I'm sure it's symbolically important to a lot of people, a major first like this,

for any group, certainly any minority and often marginalized group, always is symbolically important.

And the mayor has been making Ramadan visits to various communities in the city all

month. Have you been at any of those? What was that like? 212-433, WNYC, 212, 433-9-6-9-2. And also,

is he making any changes that you find meaningful yet at the policy or other governing level, not just symbolic?

212-433, WNYC, 433-9692.

Here, for example, is a short clip of the mayor hosting IFtar, that's the evening breaking of the fast, for city workers on March 12th.

And it is not every day that we see in one room the sheer breath of Muslim life in New York City.

The many languages spoken, the different cultures lived,

the many soccer teams we root for in good times and in bad.

And I will say it once more, Ramadan, Mubarak, my friends.
