Mamdani Will Be First N.Y.C. Mayor to Use the Quran at His Swearing-In
New york Times ^ | 12-30-25 | Maya King

When Zohran Mamdani is sworn in as mayor of New York City on Jan. 1, he will represent a range of demographics the city has not seen before in top leadership: South Asian, millennial, Muslim.

But for New York’s hundreds of thousands of Muslim residents who have taken pride in seeing one of their own rise to the mayoralty, his inauguration will bring another special first, rooted in tradition and piety.

New York State is a multi-decades uniparty welfare state, devolving into marxism with NY City at its ideological center, that exists solely on Wall Street skimmings and Fed.gov debt-spending

The sooner it collapses, the sooner the Republic can be saved.

Mamdani the Commie is a Twelver Shiite. You can’t get any more Crazy Muslim than that.

The same Koran that the Sep 11 attackers believed when they killed thousands of people in NYC.

Wow, NYC is now an Islamic dump. Time to melt all the statues and monuments of western civilization.... change street names. Flush the toilet on Christianity.

I wonder if at the end of his acceptance speech, Mamdani will say “Allah Akbar” instead of usual God Bless America.

People in NYC seem to lack basic awareness so much that they are dooming themselves.

NYS and the other uni-party welfare states will get the government (debt and dysfunction) they deserve.

The world will turn Islamic.

Han China and Hindu India will be the last holdouts.

We thought that at a Muslim takeover of the word was no longer possible after the 732 Battle of Tours in France. Not so, it seems.

They are attempting to fully cement their evil spiritual authority over the NYC landscape. The same way in which anti-Christ will rise to full power over the Earth, occurring in broad daylight with everyone watching and no one exactly sure how we got there.

“For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.” - Ephesians 6:12

Deep State still controls Congress.

Do you really think, as long as that’s the case, that Deep State will allow the rest of the nation to tell NYS to drop dead...?

He will raise taxes as quickly as possible, to destroy ownership. Seize property. It will be a slum in short order.
