Mayor Eric Adams rebuked mayoral candidate Zohran’s Mamdani in religious terms over the socialist candidate’s longstanding push to decriminalize prostitution – saying the candidate was “lost” on the grim reality of 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 ok 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 also said Mamdani’s position ignores the victims of sex trafficking.

“You’re not doing any service to a woman who is on the street who is forced to sell her body for whatever reason,” Adams told reporters Sunday.

“We are trying to bring down crime and he is talking about legalizing sex work. Number one: As a man who said he is of faith, I don’t quite understand what religion supports prostitution. I think he’s lost on the fact that sex trafficking is very much part of prostitution,” he added.

Adams’ comments came after The Post cast the spotlight on Mamdani’s past push to change the statue that makes it a crime for people to sell their bodies for sex in New York. It’s an issue he has taken up multiple times since he ran for state assembly in 2020 and has continually supported since.

But the 33-year-old Democratic candidate has been largely mum on the issue since he started his run for mayor, leaving critics worried that he might make a sudden push for legal prostitution if he makes it into office in the fall.

And Adams – who is running for reelection as an independent — thinks it would be reprehensible to green-light the practice.

“If that is his belief, it is a danger for our city. Our city needs to be a safe city. It should not be a city where women are standing on corners, or boys are standing on corners, or young men standing on corners selling their bodies,” he said.

The post Mayor Adams slams Mamdani for wanting to decriminalize prostitution: ‘Don’t know where in his Quran it states that it’s OK’ appeared first on New York Post.
