Diversity is Your Strength
Islamophobia is your weakness
Mamdani Will Be First N.Y.C. Mayor to Use the Quran at His Swearing-In1
— New York Times Headline
I just finished reading the Quran (Koran). I wonder what passages Mamdani will be thinking about when he’s sworn in?
Don’t worry about the verses below. Mamdani is a moderate Muslim and a victim of Islamophobia so he deserves New York City’s sympathy, pity and tax dollars.
Believers, do not choose the infidels as your allies rather than the faithful. Would you give God clear evidence against yourselves? — Koran 4:1442
Let not believers take infidels as their friends in preference to the faithful – he that does this has nothing to hope for from God – except in self-defence. — Koran 3:283
Believers, take neither the Jews nor the Christians for your friends. They are friends to each other. Whoever of you seeks their friendship shall become one of their number. God does not guide the wrongdoing people. — Koran 5:514
Remember when God revealed His will to the angels: ‘I am with you; so give courage to the believers. I shall cast terror into the hearts of the infidels. Strike off their heads, strike off the very tips of their fingers!’ That was because they defied God and His apostle; and he that defies God and His apostle shall be sternly punished by God. ‘That is it: taste it.’ The scourge of the Fire awaits the unbelievers. — Koran 8:125

Mamdani is going to be sworn in with the Qur’an.
Diversity is your strength.
So in your country I would be able to use the Bible?
Don’t be silly. In my country you couldn’t even run for office.
Even more, in a moslem nation, Mamdani wouldn't even be able to become a citizen with franchise unless he was born there in the first place.
Something to bring up, which is fun to do, is saying to pro-migation people that you think your nation should adopt the same policies as Saudi Arabia (f.e.). Usually, that gets approval.
Until you start telling them about the laws and rules Saudi Arabia has in place for all foreigners.
Then, all of a sudden, the occidental idiotcrats looks sullenly askance (or should that be askew?) at you, before changing the topic.
Would I, as a Christian woman, be accepted as an equal in a society that believes in the Muslim religion and tradition? If I ever felt that my birth country, which was founded upon Christian beliefs and tenets, was stifling my faith, freedom, rights, would I be welcomed by you? If I needed a closer relationship with God and felt a need for respect; myself being a created human being with a purpose and a right to be born, would I be accepted and treated fairly by you?
I need an answer.
(Jesus accepted all people. Like ... ALL PEOPLE; those who followed His laws, which are inclusive, and those souls who were trying to be accepted by a loving God)
I think I might not.
Why are you here then, telling me that I shouldn't be here? And that you need to lead me?
