That's clearly the NYTs intent in writing this article.

Do you think New Yorkers will buy the "radical Muslim antisemite" line?

They already haven't. They're smarter than average red state Americans.

Nah. No group's smarter than any other group on average.

The difference is they actually know those people irl instead of only seeing them in propaganda films and on Fox.

Huh? This makes no sense, of course there are groups that are smarter than other groups on average.

Are doctors not smarter than truck drivers, on average?

NYC is pretty highly educated compared to other cities, particularly cities in red states.
