Mayor Adams slams Mamdani for wanting to decriminalize prostitution: ‘Don’t know where in his Quran it states that it’s OK’
New York Post ^ | August 17, 2025 | Steven Vago, Alex Oliveira

Mayor Eric Adams rebuked mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani’s longstanding push to decriminalize prostitution – questioning how somebody who calls himself religiously guided could ever support sex work.

“I can’t be more clear. I’m a man of God, just as Mamdani says he’s a Muslim. I don’t know where in his Quran it states that it’s okay for a woman to be on the streets selling their body,” Hizzoner told reporters Sunday.

“I don’t know what Quran he is reading. It’s not in my Bible,” he added. “As a man who said he is of faith, I don’t quite understand what religion supports prostitution.”

Islam – Mamdani’s religion – prohibits prostitution under its laws of morality...

It’s an issue Mamdani has taken up multiple times since he ran for state assembly in 2020 and has continually supported since — but the 33-year-old Socialist has been largely mum on the issue since he started his run for mayor.

That’s left some critics worried Mamdani might make a sudden push for legal prostitution if he makes it into office in the fall.

And Adams said it would be a shame if he does – arguing Mamdani is “lost” on the harsh realities of sex work and the damaging crime it attracts...

Mamdani has co-sponsored several bills that would legalize prostitution across New York state while serving as a Queens assemblyman.

And while he would still need to go through the state legislature to pass a law, if elected mayor, he would hold a key platform to advocate for the change and also to deprioritize prostitution enforcement by the NYPD.

Some have even feared the Big Apple could become a hub for sex tourism to rival Amsterdam’s famous Red Light District if Mamdani has his way.

Guys like mamdani will insist on Sharia once the time is right.

Count on it.

Anything is OK in the Koran as long as it’s being unleashed on the infidels.

Devout Muslims practice 1 hour marriages for using a hooker.

Actually... My views on legalized prostitution have changed since 20 or 30 years ago. I say legalize it, but in certain areas of the city or community only. Have the participants registered, and identified as being of legal age. Allow our police to use more of their time going after the deranged and the violent. No such “facility” should be close to neighborhoods or schools. No loitering around businesses or their doorways either.

‘Don’t know where in his Quran it states that it’s OK’

IIRC< the Quran permits bonking an infidel female any way they want, albeit paying for the service would probably be beneath them.

Even Muslims know what a “useful idiot” is.

A Muslim will not support this, nor LGBTQIA or feminism... They will simply use these people, saying the right things so they get behind them.

Obama also pretended to be moderate on abortion, moderate on gun rights, but then once in office went full force liberal on these issues.

Cuomo and Sliwa should both drop out, at this point.

(And, I like Sliwa, just fine, but....) (And, I think Cuomo is being paid off to stay in this race.)

Actually the Koran does allow prostitution - and rape and slavery - for non-Muslim women.

Come on, Mayor, please bone up on your Sharia law to better prepare for the coming transition.

Just a thought, but is part of this idea to legalize prostitution so that the tax man can collect his cut?

Estimates are that billions of dollars are spent on prostitution in America. And almost all of that is untaxed, because it’s illegal almost everywhere in America.

Could it be with changing moral standards in this country, that some politicians are willing to say, they’re in favor of legal prostitution? And that they are getting excited at the thought of a new pool of tax revenue?

I read recently that there’s going to be a major effort to legalize prostitution and when that happens, it will essentially legalize sex slavery. Women will be owned by wealthy men, who will legally be able to sell or trade them to other wealthy men or own them jointly. With Mondami apparently emerging as leading this movement it could gain major traction because no one will want to be seen opposing him.

See Nevada.
Prostitution is a local option in counties of less than 100,000 (I may have the population wrong).
Works fine.

the Big Apple could become a hub for sex tourism

See? All those naysayers who lamented businesses, retail and corporate headquarters deserting NYC after Mamdani becomes Mayor and attacks billionaires and private ownership rights. One door closes and another door opens for Mamdani.

Drugs, sex workers and abortions. The Big Three. Add "free groceries" as Four.

States like Michigan are "abortion tourism destinations" due to wide open abortion rights. Governor Gretchen Whitmer gloried in the boost to the economy from it.

"Governor Whitmer has stated that a strong stance on reproductive rights can be a tool to lure industry and talent, especially from states with more restrictive abortion laws. She expressed interest in actively recruiting businesses and employees from states with anti-abortion stances, believing that a state that protects reproductive rights is more attractive for businesses and individuals seeking to live and work there. She has also stated that a woman's decision to have a child is a profound economic decision and that banning abortion could have an "incredible economic impact" on the state and families." --Bridge Michigan.

“Devout Muslims practice 1 hour marriages for using a hooker.”

Why is it only a few of us know that?

Does tell me one thing, They don’t think their Allah can see into you like my Christian God can.
My God is omniscient so you can’t get away with anything!
You can cheat Allah, perhaps that is why Allah is so popular?

He’s really a communist atheist. Muslims are just useful to them right now. They will be destroyed lately.
