\n

New York City Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani<\/a>‘s campaign confirmed on Wednesday he will make a historical move on New Year’s Day, using the Quran during his swearing-in ceremony.<\/p>\n

Mamdani, a 34-year-old Ugandan-born socialist, will be the first Muslim mayor of New York City and the first mayor to be sworn in using the Quran, the central religious text of Islam.<\/p>\n

New York Attorney General Letitia James will host a private midnight ceremony at Old City Hall Station, a historical decommissioned subway station, before he is sworn in during a public inauguration on the steps of City Hall by Sen. Bernie Sanders<\/a>, I-Vt., Thursday afternoon.<\/p>\n

He will use\u00a0two\u00a0family Qurans, as well as one that belonged to writer and Puerto Rican activist Arturo Schomburg, who built the foundation for Harlem\u2019s Schomburg Center for research in Black culture.<\/p>\n

Progressive Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez<\/a>, D-N.Y., is expected to deliver opening remarks at the latter event, which will be free and open to the public.<\/p>\n

Mamdani defeated former Democratic New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo<\/a> and Republican gubernatorial candidate Curtis Sliwa in November, after campaigning on affordability and socialist policies including rent freezes, city-run grocery stores, and free buses and childcare.<\/p>\n

Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer<\/a>, D-N.Y., refused to endorse Mamdani during his campaign, though it is unclear if the choice was tied to Mamdani’s 2023 arrest while protesting the war in Gaza outside Schumer’s Brooklyn home.<\/p>\n

Mamdani has openly voiced his belief that Israel\u2019s military campaign in Gaza is “genocide,” denying Israel is a Jewish state and failing to condemn the violent slogan “globalize the intifada.”<\/p>\n

During his time at Bowdoin College, he founded the Students for Justice in Palestine<\/a> chapter.<\/p>\n

Though he promised to protect Jewish New Yorkers, he announced on Tuesday the city’s next top attorney would be Ramzi Kassem, who defended<\/a> convicted al Qaeda terrorist Ahmed al-Darbi and Columbia student Mahmoud Khalil, who is accused of leading antisemitic demonstrations on campus.<\/p>\n

Al-Darbi was convicted of conspiracy in connection with the fatal 2017 al Qaeda terrorist<\/u><\/a> bombing of a French oil tanker off the coast of Yemen, and was transferred in 2018 by the Trump administration into Saudi Arabian custody. Khalil was released, but his case remains ongoing.<\/p>\n

During a news conference announcing Kassem’s appointment, Mamdani said, “I will turn to Ramzi for his remarkable experience and his commitment to defending those too often abandoned by our legal system.”<\/p>\n
