Zohran Mamdani Omits Jesus’s Name in Good Friday Message: ‘We Mark a Day of Sacrifice’
Breitbart ^ | 3 Apr 2026 | Jasmyn Jordan

Posted on 04/04/2026 1:49:35 AM PDT by dennisw

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.

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.”

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.

Zohran’s name will likely be omitted when he meets Jesus.

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....
