Zohran Mamdani sworn into office on the koran

NYC's first Muslim mayor was sworn into office, and perhaps unshockingly, on a koran instead of a bible:

Socialist Zohran Mamdani became mayor of New York City just after midnight Thursday, taking the oath of office as he placed his hand on the Islamic Quran in a private ceremony.

In doing so Mamdani, a Democrat, was confirmed as the first Muslim leader of America’s biggest city.

“This is truly the honor and the privilege of a lifetime,” the 34-year-old said in a brief speech, AP reports.

The strictly invitation-only gathering, overseen by New York Attorney General Letitia James, a political ally, took place at the old City Hall station, one of the city’s original subway stops known for its stunning arched ceilings.

Mamdani’s wife, the artist Rama Duwaji, held out the Quran over which Mamdani took his oath of office.

It's not hard to guess he had a private ceremony for starters because he didn't want any booing taking place if he did it publicly. That said, it's almost fitting the ceremony was held down in a subway station no longer in use, because that's where his whole agenda belongs. Down in the dumps. Also note, lest we forget, that he's the first politician in New York, if anywhere, who's been sworn into office on the koran itself.

Anyway, he's soon bound to cause disaster in more ways than meets the eye. He recently appointed Ramzi Kassem, a lawyer who defended one of al Qaeda's jihadists, to a prominent position on his staff. That's certainly another red flag. NYC faces dark days indeed.

Brigitte Bardot passes away at 91

The French actress who later became a political activist has died at 91:

Brigitte Bardot, the French screen legend who walked away from the film industry to support animal rights and lead opposition to open borders and mass immigration, has died. She was 91.

The Guardian reports Paris-born Bardot shot to international fame with the 1956 film And God Created Woman, written and directed by her then-husband Roger Vadim.

For the next two decades she embodied the idea of the archetypal “sex kitten.”

But what's amazing is that she did recognize the Muslim threat:

Bardot’s outspoken support of animal rights evolved into comments about ethnic minorities and open support for France’s Front National, resulting in a string of convictions for racial hatred.

Acknowledged as a symbol of woman’s liberation, Bardot told Le Figaro in 2015 she was against the Muslim face veil.

“Communitarianism takes on too much importance. It is the culmination of thirty years of laxity.”

A committed free speech activist, the actress faced trial five times between 1997 and 2008 for “inciting racial hatred” including for comments criticising mass Muslim immigration in France.

On one of these occasions, she was convicted for “decrying the loss of French identity and tradition due to the ‘multiplication of mosques while our church bells fall silent for want of priests’.”

She always maintained she simply respected the French way of life and sought to protect it and its inheritors.

Bardot was also a vocal opponent of Muslim halal slaughter, which often involves slaughtering an animal without stunning it, causing pain and distress before death.

And she also said years ago:

– “I am against the Islamisation of France! Our ancestors, our grandfathers, our fathers have for centuries given their lives to push out successive invaders.”

– “I like Marine (Le Pen, the leader of the French far-right) a lot. I won’t hide it. She is the only woman … who has balls.”

So much that the courts are now seeking to ban Le Pen from running in the next election. If there's anything we can appreciate from Bardot, it's that she was a realist on the topic of the Religion of Peace. And we should thank her by helping to defend her country from the Islamic invasion. No country should have to fall victim to such a horrific ideology.
