Gov. Josh Shapiro joined an iftar dinner at the Al-Aqsa Islamic Society in North Philly to announce a historic grant from the Redevelopment Assistance Capital Program, the largest ever awarded to a Muslim organization.

Shapiro told the assembled group of a few dozen community members Tuesday night that institutions such as Al-Aqsa “are more important than ever before” in the current climate “as we’re facing tumult overseas, and we’re facing a lot of rising hate here at home.”

Looks to me like Shapiro is laying some groundwork for a 2028 presidential race.

Appeasing the Muslims is like appeasing the Nazis, Mr. Shapiro. It will work until it doesn’t. Then look out below.

Big mistake by shapiro,,,,,eventually an extremist will get control of the mosque and advocate killing Infidels. Infidels will eventually end up paying for their own demise.

We laugh at things like “zombie ants” because some weird fungus infects their tiny insect brains. They can’t help themselves.

The West seems bent on cultural, religious, and fiscal suicide. But we have no such excuse.

WELL DUH!!! Do you understand we're in spiritual warfare???

"MUSLIMS" ....A mass of people who carry a "holy" book that says to murder all Jews and Christians who won't bow to their prophet.

And now we're flooding them into our country and even putting them into our government!

Can American citizens be more stupid or are we trying to destroy ourselves ???

BTW - That first Muslim president Obama said he "had a plan for America" .... and it was not for our good!

So tax dollars go to a religion but not to the others?
Or now all of them will get grants if they become a reliable voting bloc to the Dems?

I thought the pagan, Satan worshipping Dems thought religion was a myth and a menace to democracy. Accused Christians and Jews of mixing church and state by having the Ten Commandments on the entrance halls to classroom buildings.

It’s not him. It’s the Jooz. They’re great at citizenship and innovation but I for one will draw the line at POTUS. It would be interesting if he were to get nominated but I can’t see the rats rallying behind him and calling us the anti-semites.

"iftar dinner at the Al-Aqsa Islamic Society"

"Al-Aqsa" is the name of the Islamic compound built on the Temple Mount is Jerusalem.

Wikipedia says:

"The term 'al-Aqsa' as a symbol and brand-name has become popular and prevalent in the region. For example, the Al-Aqsa Intifada (the uprising that broke out in September 2000), the al-Aqsa Martyrs' Brigades (a coalition of Palestinian nationalist militias in the West Bank), al-Aqsa TV (the official Hamas-run television channel), al-Aqsa University (Palestinian university established in 1991 in the Gaza Strip), Jund al-Aqsa (a Salafist jihadist organization that was active during the Syrian Civil War), the Jordanian military periodical published since the early 1970s, and the associations of both the southern and northern branches of the Islamic Movement in Israel are all named Al-Aqsa after this site."

LOL, Shapiro will be lucky to finish his term let alone get elected legally to some thing else. I don’t know any in PA happy with him. The only way he continues in politics is if bought into a position, which hopefully Trump and crew are thwarting.

Toadie is the perfect word. This has all the earmarks of the fable of the frog and the scorpion.
