Mamdani To Be Sworn In With Hand On Quran As Bernie Sanders Gives Oath Of Office
Daily Wire ^ | Dec 31, 2025 | Zach Jewell

Posted on 12/31/2025 12:02:01 PM PST by MinorityRepublican

Democratic socialist Zohran Mamdani’s swearing in ceremonies on Thursday will combine leftism and Islam, as the 34-year-old is set to become New York City’s first Muslim mayor when he places his hand on the Quran and is given the oath of office by Senator Bernie Sanders.

Mamdani will use three different Qurans in both of his swearing-in ceremonies on January 1, The New York Times reported. For his first ceremony at midnight on Thursday, Mamdani will place his hand on his grandfather’s Quran as well as a Quran that belonged to black history activist Arturo Schomburg, according to the Times. In his second ceremony, Mamdani will again place his hand on his grandfather’s Quran and one that belongs to another family member.

Mamdani will be sworn in by New York Attorney General Letitia James after the clock strikes midnight on January 1, while Sanders will deliver the oath of office during a ceremony later in the day, the New York Post reported.

The swearing-in ceremony will break with tradition as New York City mayors throughout history have placed their hands on Bibles when they were sworn in. Mamdani will become one of the few elected officials throughout the country to use a Quran for their swearing in, joining leftist Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison and Minnesota Democratic Rep. Ilhan Omar.

Good move on Bernie's part. Mamdami will cut Bernie's head off last.

NY City only survives because of skimmings from the Wall Street casino, and Fed.gov handouts.

Lots of printed money and debt make marxism possible in some places.

At the end of Mamdani’s Acceptance Speech, instead of saying God Bless America, he will yell out ALLAH AKBAR...

Osama Bin Laden would be so proud right now. Barely 24 years after the terrorist flew the planes into the towers. Two decades of Muslim migrants replacing Americans is the result.

Same thing happening in Europe with London, Paris, Brussels, Amsterdam, Stockholm and Berlin being taken over by the filthy barbarian hordes.

That stupid piece of trash George W. Bush ended that campaign before it even started.

“Islam is peace,” the moron said.

Mamdani with one hand on the Quran....

Hand In My Pocket
By Alanis Morissette (1995)

And what it all comes down to, my friends, yeah
Is that everything is just fine, fine, fine
‘Cause I’ve got one hand in my pocket
And the other one is hailin’ a taxi cab.

Ceremonial swearing in.

Doesn’t it have to be done by an officer of the government? I don’t know about NYC Mayor.

If Osama Bin Laden was a young man in 2025, he'll get a visa and move to Minneapolis. He'll start his own day care business. Then he'll bring in his 5 wives. And he'll raise 50 children.

We'll pay for all of it.

Man wakes up in bed in 2007, shaking from a nightmare.

“I dreamed that new guy Bernie Sanders was not only still in the Senate in the future in 2026 but he was swearing in an avowed Socialist elected Mayor of New York City. With his hand on a Quran.”

“Dear, I told you not to try that roadside food cart burrito. Had a weird aroma to the spices.”

You’re probably right.

But like the illegal US Income tax and having a Kenyan for two terms as President, people get away with things anyway.

Is this the ceremony they’re holding in a bunker?

Pretty sure it didn’t mean “never”, never. I thought it did. Silly me.

Is the Quran recognized in American law? And if not... Is that legal? It should be the bible, or nothing at all.

If he isn’t legally and properly sworn in, nobody will need to recognize his authority. I.E. He won’t actually be the legal mayor.

of course the self-hating Bernie the Red
would do the “honors”

(Bernie probably doesn’t even give a dam* anymore what happens to NY...as if he ever did?)

If many of those who died on 9/11 had a grave... They’d likely be rolling in it... Sadly... Many of them do not have a one.
