A closed Catholic church in Bristol Township has been sold to a Muslim cultural society.

The former Immaculate Conception B.V.M. Catholic Church, on Emilie Road, was sold for $1,775,000 last Friday to the United American Muslim Society of Brooklyn, LevittownNow.com reports.

The group is the parent corporation for the Turkish American Muslim Cultural Association on Levittown Parkway in Bristol Township, according to the story.

The announcement of the sale made during weekend masses was “positively received by parishioners,” Archdiocese of Philadelphia spokesman Ken Gavin told LevittownNow.com.

I doubt this was ‘positively received’.

Not just Philly. There are numerous former churches in PA (and other states, but I live in PA so these are more familiar to me) -- which have been purchased by muslims and now operate as mosques and madrasahs (schools). They are in rural, deep red communities as well as cities. They arrive suddenly in towns where there was no previous muslim presence. Realtors can help you locate religious buildings for sale in the past few years, and find the names of the new owners. It's an eye opener.

I call this phenomenon Jihadi Appleseed.

I’m Catholic and I wish they had burned it down rather than let muzzies have it!

In May of last year, I was visiting Wilkes-Barre with 3 of my siblings during some ancestor-hunting. At one point, we were just driving around admiring the architecture of some old buildings.

After spotting a beautiful old building perched alone up on a hill overlooking the city, we decided to drive up to investigate. Turned out what had once been a school was now some stinking muzzard nest. We were quite annoyed.

Once it has been decommissioned it is just bricks and mortar——another building.

Acts 7:48

Howbeit the most High dwelleth not in temples made with hands; as saith the prophet

Acts 17:24

God that made the world and all things therein, seeing that he is Lord of heaven and earth, dwelleth not in temples made with hands

All it ever was.

Image of Muslim woman in burka defiles St. Peter's on the Feast Day of Our Lady's Immaculate Conception.

Nota Bene: the shadow behind the woman does not represent the muslim woman's profile.

positively received because all they see is sale/unneeded building off their hands, but they don’t see the bigger picture.

You are right. They are fools!

may be just bricks and mortar, but it’s allowing more firm roots of anti-God believing people into these communities to the detriment of the peoples already living there.

Islamists are not winning any inroads to American culture; it is our Babylonian “Great Men of the Earth” that are so enthralled with Islam.
