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.”

Mandami certainly can mention Jesus Christ. Koran and Hadith sure do. As a mortal prophet along with Abraham and others it filched from the Bible.
But for Muslims Mouhamed is the FINAL Prophet who supersedes all the others. Mohammed gets the last word on everything. All the others were supporting players leading up to Mad Mo El Supremo.
The dirty little secret of Islam is that much of their allah worship is really Mohammed worship.
The link is to a two-hour, but rather entertaining and detailed lecture. Highly recommend it to all.

Wow he’s got a pair a brass ones. Let me guess: He routinely has his life threatened by members of the “religion of peace”
Where’s Dolan when you need him?
God will sort us all out.
I pray I’m not in the same bin
as this a$$hole Democrat and
the rest of his kind.
Put me in with the Klingon’s
(if they really exist).
That’s absolutely true.
If he said it he’d probably burst into flames.
Commie.

Nobody’s threatening him, he’s totally in the tank himself. He’s the one doing the threatening.
Mandarin is another Barack Hussain Obama who skipped the National Day of Prayer Breakfast in 2009.
If not stopped, this man who appeared out of nowhere like Obama will be a future president.
Wake up, America!
Zohran name meaning in Islam...
Zohran is an Arabic/Urdu Muslim boy name meaning “sun,” “radiant,” “glowing,” or “blooming,” often associated with light and joy. Rooted in the Arabic word zahar (to bloom), it symbolizes bright, blossoming, or shining characteristics. The name is sometimes associated with purity and brightness, similar to Zahra.
The Mamdani family, however, is part of the Twelver community of Khoja, whose Twelfth Imam is believed to be hidden from the world and only emerges in times of crisis. Twelvers believe he will help usher in an age of peace during end times.
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,” So Mamdani says these people have always been here, does he? Where’s he been when I and many others say that we’ve never heard of this crap until fairly recently in history? Even if they were here, we never celebrated the day he designated this as such. It’s not marked that way on any of my calendars. Maybe if people just ignored Mamdani, as he has ignored certain important days,he would just go away. We can only hope that the day he bows out of the scene that day will be a special day, at least for NYers.
Mamdani is a commie muslim. What did you expect?
Wake up, America, indeed. But I am far more hopeful than you.
We are watching the "empty words" and "winning smile" strategy come crashing into basic fiscal realities. NYC, for a very long time, has been lured by the vacuity of Democrats, and now is likely at the road's end. The Democrats are self-splitting, as I see it.
That oft-talked about Dunning-Kruger effect is becoming evident very quickly. I hope Mandami blunders into "free transit for all" as the tax base erodes. That and much like it/ All the political patronage in the world cannot keep NYC afloat, when across several state borders, one can "walk away." We'll be seeing this all the more/
The Hill & Valley Forum Jamie Dimon on why companies are leaving New YorkThough not a fan of the forum nor of Dimon, the numbers argue his point. Mandami's got words to pile on top of words, as the money from Hochul and the feds will not come, like the cavalry, to the rescue.
He’s a Muslim so no surprise here.
