Yet another "In your face" episode of the "You can't tell them, you must SHOW them" era.
Zohran Mamdani will be the first New York City mayor to be sworn in on a Quran when he takes office at midnight on Jan. 1, officials said.
Mamdani, who will be the first Muslim to lead City Hall, will use at least three different sets of Islam’s holy book to take the oath of office during his private and public ceremonies Thursday, his spokesperson said.
The far-left pol is expected to use his grandfather’s Quran and one that belonged to black writer and historian Arturo Schomburg, lent by the New York Public Library, during a private midnight ceremony at the abandoned Old City Hall subway station.

Is the mayor of new york required to take an oath to the constitution by law
Yes, by law, the Mayor of New York City is required to take an oath that includes pledging to support the U.S. Constitution.
This requirement comes from the New York State Constitution, Article XIII, Section 1, which mandates that all public officers in the state—including executive officers like the Mayor—take and subscribe to the following oath (or affirmation) before entering office:
This applies to the NYC Mayor as a public officer under state law. The New York City Charter (e.g., sections like § 12-117) requires an official oath or affirmation to faithfully perform the duties of the office, but the specific language incorporating support for the U.S. and state constitutions is governed by the state constitution and related statutes (e.g., Public Officers Law).
In practice:
The oath is filed with the NYC City Clerk. While the exact wording can vary slightly in ceremonial delivery (and no specific "test" beyond this is allowed), the core legal requirement to support the U.S. Constitution is mandatory under New York state law for the position.
Note: I searched for THE EXACT HEADLINE ABOVE and now I find that hours ago, ILoveIvermectin posted the same story (from a different source) using ALMOST the same headline. No hits.
Well, I'll spend more time searching next time. Delete this one if you wish, mods.
I never saw the other one so you're fine.
Let your heart not be troubled.
Real simple. The Koran and the Jewish Talmud is contrite to US Constitutional law, being both theocracies...
Therefore it is legal to kick their asses out of this country so why not get on with it?
there goes the neighborhood........
