This is horrible. Thousands of Muslims will die.

This must be stopped?

My guess is no, that social distancing restrictions will not be enforced against Muslims. “Infidel” law enforcement will NOT enter the premises of a mosque to see what is going on.

Law enforcement will take a don’t ask/don’t tell approach to this. They will look the other way and not be around a mosque so they can truthfully say they didn’t see any violations of the lockdown orders.

It sounds more like a 1950s doo wop song than a religious holiday

No.

They gay lobby is powerful. And the illegal lobby is powerful. But nothing trumps the Muslims. Nothing.

How many Christians threated to decapitate the mayor and city council for cancelling Easter services?

Then we’ll have to tell them.
I’m going by my local Islamic center tomorrow to see if they are holding Friday prayers.

Ohio’s Governor/Dictator paid homage to the wonderful Muslim Ramadan. Said NOTHING regarding restrictions on crowds,
Temple attendance etc. Dewine is a coward, knowing the blowback from the muslims would be more severe than the
courteous, well behaved patriots he has faced so far. He has moved his press briefings to a bunker somewhere in Ohio, where he hands out pre screened pablam questions.
