New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani made a Good Friday statement about sacrifice, fasting, and faith, but did not mention Jesus Christ by name, while Rep. Andy Ogles (R-TN) promoted legislation calling for the American flag to be flown at half-staff in recognition of Christ’s crucifixion.
Mamdani wrote on X:
Today, on Good Friday, we mark a day of sacrifice. Some New Yorkers will abstain from eating; others will spend hours without speaking.
Faith, the Bible tells us, is belief in the things unseen. That belief is what will guide so many of our neighbors in solemn reflection and reverence.
I wish all those observing Good Friday a blessed day of peace.
Good Friday is one of the holiest days in Christianity, commemorating the crucifixion and death of Jesus Christ, who Christians believe died to save the world from sin.
Erasing Jesus’ name entirely and deliberately strips Good Friday of its very purpose, reducing it to an empty observance.
Ogles, however, stated:
Just as Christians recognize, fast, and reverently participate in the life of Christ during Holy Week, America’s institutions should reflect that same reverence.
That is why I have introduced legislation to lower the US flag to half-staff on Good Friday and Holy Saturday. This would serve as a solemn reminder of Christ, who was crucified for our transgressions against a holy God.
Christ is King of America, and we should honor Him accordingly.
The contrast comes days after Mamdani marked Transgender Day of Visibility on March 31 by writing, “Today is Trans Day of Visibility. Trans, non-binary, and gender-nonconforming people have always been here,” adding, “Your existence is not up for debate. Your lives are not a political issue. We’re fighting for a city where every trans New Yorker can live openly, safely, and with joy.”

Has to be expected from an anti-Christian, America-hating muzzie chimpanzee.
This lying sac-o-crap is telling the truth, but his Good Friday is not the same as ours.
On Friday, April 3, 2026, Muslims globally are observing fasting rituals, with many finishing the holy month of Ramadan or beginning the voluntary six days of fasting in the following month of Shawwal, particularly the “White Days” (13th-15th). Fasting involves abstaining from food and drink from dawn to sunset to practice self-discipline.
I bet he giggled after that speech.

Mami is a muslim and has never assimilated after all these years in American. Ally is their god.
AI sez -—>>>
Shia Muslims overall: ~10–15% of the global Muslim population.
Twelver Shias: ~85% of Shias, so roughly 8–12% of all Muslims worldwide.
*********Yes mayor Mandami is Twelver same as his family. The Twelver fundamentalists, apocalyptic fanatics rule Iran. The top Ayatollahs rip-off the economy via oil skims and more. Their extended families are wealthy.
I agree, Obama was only in positions that required him to run his mouth, not produce anything, like AOC. Mamdani has to produce something and it’s going to be excremental. He has no needed policy agenda, he’s there to transform the cultural substrate of NYC by introducing aspects of Sharia, like prayer calls, taking over public spaces for prayer mods, etc. It’s going to be extremely hard to push back on that without amending US Constitution.
Mamdani couldn’t mention the name of Jesus. He would have had to say, “Prophet Issa peace be upon him.”
So, he’s a commie, but not a hypocrite?
Mandami is so obvious. He is a Jihad warrior engaged in the same slow Jihad the Muzz in Europe are doing, via immigration (legal/illegal) and birthrates aka demographics.
You can know Muslims at work who are honest, calm and nice. They + families + children are part of the Jihad conquest too, whether they know it or not. All Muzz here know at least subconsciously that they are part of the slow Jihad of Muzz triumphalism.
Tucker Qatarlson / Megyn Kelly / Candace Owens don’t care about this Jihad. Because they are making beaucoup bucks on their present course. Qatarlson is in the pre-submission stage of Islam.
You find him doing some Muzz head bumping prayers in a few years.
Yeah, well, I doubt many new yorkers even missed the omission. After all, they knew they were voting for a raghead socialist. Heck, why didn’t they elect O’bummer as mayor? Same diff.
Madmani actually acknowledged the Bible? There may be hope for him yet!
But he’d better watch his back, lest the “other kind” of Muslim take offense and martyr him.
Like an atomic bomb ...
Zohran’s name will likely be omitted when he meets Jesus.
Correction: Satan worship.
Mandami is a Commie Moslem....or maybe it’s Moslem Commie.
He is a demon worshipper. Of course he wouldn’t admit it unless he had to.
Bravo for that! Mandami's fake Issa will come to "tear down the cross." The Muzzies hate it when actually read what's there....
“Two New Findings That Mohammed Didn’t Exist”
Robert Spencer wrote a book about Mohmmed. Part was about whether Mo existed. 2 billion Muslims believe he did, and are commanded to emulate his life. The most worthy life ever lived, so story goes. Jihadis take this to heart.
How about atheists who rarely understand how people can be so religiously motivated that they will mow down 30000 Iranian protesters. The Iran Twelver fundamentalists are a world threat, because these 12ver loons play a large role in their own apocalyptic end times prophecy. This freezes up atheists brains. Tucker Qatarlson’s brain too.
Hardly anyone knows that the IRGC collecting tolls at Hormuz is the Jizya tax, that Muzz always collect from infidels. When they the power to do this. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jizya
Islam the most (Jizya) parasitic religion ever. They have always had parasitic slavery. They enslaved a few million white Europeans, even up into Ireland. Sex slaves for harems too. This would make a great movie with a Raquel Welch in it

It sounds like you’re referring to a real but often overlooked part of history—the enslavement of Europeans by Muslim states, especially along the Mediterranean.
From roughly the 16th to early 19th centuries, pirates and privateers based in North Africa—often called the Barbary pirates—raided coastal areas of southern Europe and even ventured as far as places like Ireland and Iceland. One well-known incident is the Sack of Baltimore, where villagers were captured and taken into slavery.
These captives were brought to cities such as Algiers and Tunis, where they were sold or forced into labor. Historians estimate that anywhere from hundreds of thousands to over a million Europeans may have been enslaved over this period, though exact numbers are debated.
Of course, the now worldwide game of jizya by the Shia is rooted in Islam. Barbary pirates and before, as now.
And of course, Muslims enslaved many Europeans, a fact which today's Europeans refuse to consider as they invite the new generation of potential slave owners in to be nurtured by welfare systems and liberal guilt.
And of course, "atheists who rarely understand" and so many of today's liberals make a pretense at understanding through their "church of nice" lenses which only allow them to take up the cudgel against conservatives, expecting a nonviolent response. Take up the same against a Muzzie...
As the Jay Smith observation makes plain, modern textual and historical critiques of Islamic sources -- something which both Judaism and the various stream of Christianity have weathered well -- drive the Muzzies nuts. But the "according to" Cairo ( or Royal ) edition of the Koran dates from 1923-24. The pressure of the Sayyid Qutb movement ( Muslim Brotherhood ) has made historical and textual critiques so problematic for Muzzies, because the inherent contradictions are rife. So modern militant Islam peddles political bullshit and calls it theology, relying on the many uninformed Muslims to march in lockstep.
The Spencer book, 2012 and later revised, predates the Smith lecture of last year. I spent time verifying the sources Smith cited in those slides. Bull's eyes, each and every one. Modern "historical" Islam is about 150 years old, though the various Islamic civilizations/cultures are much older. Jizya and slavery have always elements of Islam. These alone are enough grounds to not "submit."
