No Police Raids? Syracuse Mosque Continues Holding Daily Prayers Amid COVID-19 Lockdown As Christians Are Threatened and Fined For Attending Drive-In Services

Why no police raids?

A Syracuse mosque is still open for daily prayers amid the Coronavirus shutdown as Christians are threatened and fined for attending drive-in services.

New York is the country’s Coronavirus epicenter with more than 18,000 deaths, however this mosque is still open for prayers.

This mosque located on the north side was once the Holy Trinity Catholic Church, but it closed down due to lack of parishioners — now it is considered a victory mosque.

Syracuse.com reported:

[Irfan Elahi] used his skills to create a prayer room covered in plastic with special ventilation that allows daily prayers to continue in the 116-year-old former church, as the holy month of Ramadan nears.

The room is lined with plastic, and two machines siphon air out of the room to create negative pressure. Air in the room is recycled every four minutes. Elahi used the materials and expertise from his day job to create what he called a “clean room.”

About 10 worshippers in masks are allowed in at a time, though rarely do that many show up. They stand far apart from each other as they follow a prayer leader standing on a plastic-covered prayer rug.

Christians won’t kill you for angering them.

I watched then entire Christchurch mosque massacre filmed by the gunman. I was completely nonplussed by what I saw.

“There is something disgusting about raising your butt, offering your stinky butt to their “gawd.””

Ever notice there are never any complaints about the toilet paper shortage from Muslims?

Just sayin’.

A bit off topic but I was watching Impractical Jokers and Q was playing a waiter and giving tables the outrageous dinner specials. He told a table of Middle Eastern men about a “lamb burned alive so you could taste the fear.” Two of the three men ordered the lamb.

I don’t understand why the powers that be don’t treat this religious cult with a heavy hand. They don’t think twice about terrorizing and inhibiting Christian or Jewish churches.

Open Mosques for Muslims. Open liquor stores for the black community. Closed everything for the people who follow rules...

How many churches are willing to take these steps for their worship services?
