Jihad on Times Square
American Thinker ^ | 31 Dec, 2025 | Kim Ezra Shienbaum

Posted on 12/31/2025 4:57:55 AM PST by MtnClimber

here are few places on earth more symbolically American -- or more globally recognizable -- than New York City’s Times Square. It is a commercial crossroads, a cultural billboard, and increasingly, a battleground for ideological messaging.

That’s why many New Yorkers and visitors were understandably bewildered -- if not outright angered -- by a massive green digital display dominating Times Square just before Christmas proclaiming: JESUS WAS PALESTINIAN. The color choice was no accident. Green is the traditional color of Islam, and the message itself was plainly political. Online reactions quickly labeled the display “divisive,” “inflammatory,” and “inappropriate.”

Yet the response was not universally negative. Some commentators praised the message as “thought-provoking,” a “bridge-building effort,” or even the beginning of a “national conversation” meant to emphasize that “Jesus is for everyone.”

The billboard’s sponsor, the American-Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee (ADC), explained that its intent was to highlight supposed deep historical ties between Christianity and Islam. But intentions do not nullify consequences. Nor do slogans override history.

In light of the recent National Security Strategy’s warning about “civilizational erasure” in Europe, Americans would be wise to ask whether similar revisionism is now being imported -- quite literally -- into the heart of our most iconic public spaces. Are we witnessing the quiet imposition of a new religious and historical narrative, one that fundamentally alters Christianity’s foundational claims?

Two assertions embedded in the Times Square message demand direct rebuttal, because both distort history and theology in ways that are anything but benign. No, Jesus was not Palestinian. And no, the Christian-Muslim historical relationship has not been one of mutual partnership, but of subjugation, even conquest.

Islam is a political war plan masquerading as religion

“ In light of the recent National Security Strategy’s warning about “civilizational erasure” in Europe…”

The U.K. Is (was?) the canary in the coal mine. The news and videos suggest they’re becoming an Islamic state without resistance, but rather with consent of the government. The U.S. should be pushing their government and so called ‘king’ to stop the national suicide.

More worrisome is Somaliland, I mean Minnesota. And then there’s the boy wonder Imam Mamdummy in NYC…. And the EPIC city attempt in North Texas. This all needs to be reigned in, and it will be a fight.

The first attack was on 9/11/2001. They’ve quietly regrouped and populated their enemies territory. Now, they are proclaiming victory. Defend yourselves or get ready to kiss the ground as you bow to allah.

“ Green is the traditional color of Islam”

So we can call them The Gangreen?

Revelation 20:4

And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years.

Now what group loves decapitating “infidels”?

🤔

Jesus "was" whatever it is convenient for the leftist narrative for Jesus to have been.

I've previously heard homeless, illegal immigrant, born out of wedlock and gay.

Also see my tagline.

The islamists are now in control of the largest US city. I hope Madman takes down the statue of Letitia James in Times Square.

They now control NYC, Minneapolis, Dearborn, and Hamtramck, Michigan. Detroit, they can have it, is probably under Muslim control too. The democrats are destroying their own party and hopefully it will fall apart before 2028.

I never dreamed of watching the U.S. Balkanize before my eyes. 19 states, all blue, are on the chopping block.
