They should have torn the church down rather than this desecration.

A true testament to the wide swath of destruction left by liberalism.

I don’t think they expected it to be used as a mosque - this organization seems to have been some sort of community activist group which was, of course, a front for Islam and probably planned all along to sell it to the second group for use as a mosque.

In general, I think they should tear these churches down and just sell the land, because the potential for abuse is too great. Better yet, make n effort to recruit more members and keep them open...

I live a block away from what used to be a little fundamentalist Christian church. Around 15 years ago it was sold to the Muslims and it became a mosque. The Catholic Church my family attends around 5 blocks away is 10-15 times larger but the muzzies have their toe hold in. Every gas station, 7-11, dunkin donuts and more is run by islamicists. It’s getting to be about time to move out to the country somewhere.

It's a building - expensively ornate, but just a building. How is it a desecration?

Is it just a matter of time for us now?

The Mosque will be called 'Terrorist Center for Anti-American, Anti-Israeli Activities'.

Which way is Mecca, so I can urinate in its direction.

These Muslims with this name of the mosque are honoring Mary!

This should be a joy to Roman Catholics who believe those 15 promises she gave for her rosary..

Mosque’s new name? Mosque of ‘that guy’who was the Son of MARY...

I doubt they will have lobbying/workshop sessions of the LGBT community in the mosque like the Roman Catholic All Saints Church did in the same city...

The Catholic Diocese of Syracuse knew who they were selling their church to. They didn’t care that people like Anna Giannantomio, who attended Holy Trinity for nearly six decades, might be insulted that the Learning Center would lease the building to an Islamic Society that would petition to remove all crosses on the steeples and grounds. Catholic Charities didn’t care because they (along with Interfaith Works), have been assisting copious amounts of Muslim refugees in coming to Central New York for years.

The liberals fellowshiping at Starbucks worship center choose Islam over anything remotely Christian, in order to justify themselves as morally superior, helping those it sees as persecuted by Christian ethos that upholds both merit=benefit and mercy as mercy, versus the victim-entitlement lie from Hell.

While i oppose Catholicism on many things, and also know the church is not a building, it evidences a faith that professes God and traditional morality which liberalism wants out, and as buildings are a testament to that, they and Islam gloats over taking such over.

Few Americans have a working knowledge of the mechanics of the spread of islam. Even Fewer Americans believe any harm can come from putting aside Christianity for a secular lifestyle.

What are the real consequences if we fail Christ and allow islam to take the world.

Liberal Protestant and Catholic Christians want to call on Allah for ecumenical reasons - but Islam is not another protestant division in the body of Christ.

The bishops in NJ decided to NEVER sell a church for that reason and for the usual reason where fundamentalists buy the church and then convert many of the current parishioners to their faith.

Unfortunately, many of the closed parish schools are now rented out to Muslims operating charter and private schools. It’s the sign of the times.

The Catholic Church should have sold it only with very restrictive covenants to prevent a profane use like a tavern or another obviously inappropriate use like this.
