Holy Trinity Catholic Church in Syracuse, New York, was sold in December to a Muslim group and will be turned into a mosque. The Muslim organization requested that six stone crosses be removed from the top of the century-old historic church, and the Syracuse Landmark Preservation Board has complied. However, as Syracuse.com explains in an April 6, 2014 article, “Plans to turn a church into a mosque bring pain and hope to changing neighborhood,” everything evens out because the mosque will be named the Mosque of Jesus, Son of Mary “to build a bridge between the old and the new.”
So that’s all right then. Or is it? The news story is written to the theme that Islam and Catholicism share much in common—two sides of the same coin, so to speak. A diocesan spokeswoman is quoted as saying that “the building is once again being used to meet the needs of a growing population on the North Side, just as Holy Trinity did as it served the Catholic faithful.” In this telling, immigrant Muslims are just like immigrant Catholics of a hundred years ago. After all, both believe in Jesus, the son of Mary. “The Muslims could not keep the crosses on the church,” the Syracuse.com report concludes, “But they chose the mosque's name to build a bridge between the old and the new: The Mosque of Jesus, Son of Mary.”
Why do the crosses have to come down? The reason, as explained by one of the Muslim organizers, is that “crosses are not an appropriate representation of the religion of Islam.” Why is that? Because the Koran maintains that Jesus was never crucified and therefore never rose from the dead (4:157).
In short, there are reasons to wonder if the Jesus, son of Mary that Muslims revere is the same Jesus that Christians revere.

He’s not. There is no reason to wonder. They say that he is not the Son of God because Allah does not need a son. He is not a part of the Trinity because that is a pagan blasphemy. To them, he is a prophet, the greatest until Mohamed, and he will return one day to PUNISH the Christians for worshiping him as a God.
No. Their Jesus is the opposite of our Jesus. You could call him the Anti-Jesus perhaps.
It matters not what a Death Cult names a building. It is still a Death Cult and will be judged not on the names it uses but on the deaths it brings to the world.
What they name it and what they preach in it are two totally different things.
I’m curious as to why the Muslims would want to name a mosque after Jesus, who rejected Allah and Islam (see Matthew 4:1-11).
Lots of reasons:
1. The Muslim Jesus is the son of Mary but is not the son of God, he's just a prophet, a man.
2. The Muslim Jesus did not die on the cross, but was miraculously switched with Judas at the last moment.
3. The Muslim Jesus did not rise from the dead.
4. From points 2 and 3 above, we can conclude that Muslim Jesus did not save anybody from their sins.
5. The Muslim Jesus will come back at the End Times, as a lieutenant of the Imam Mahdi and will order Christians to destroy all crosses, worship Allah and the Mahdi, be the Mahdi's right hand man in searching out and killing Jews.
This is just from the top of my head, but I dare say it should be enough!
Feel the warmth and love emanating from the ROP crowd.
“....immigrant Muslims are just like immigrant Catholics of a hundred years ago.”
.
NO, THEY’RE NOT!!!
Immigrant Catholics would not have cheered the events that took place on 9/11/2001 like an overwhelming number of muzzies did.
Islam claims Jesus as one of their prophets, along with a number of figures from the Hebrew Bible (Noah, Abraham, Solomon, some others).
If they where honest (but then they wouldn’t be muslim) they would name it “Mosque of Jesus, Disciple of Mohammad”.
Try turning a mosque into a Christian church and watch the outcry...
They should have torn it down rather than made a profit from the jihadi cult.
that is correct, they believe Jesus prophecy was not fulIfilled because he did not want to kill women for their men’s sins..they want to deceive other faiths by this false tie in of Christ..Christ said there is no other way to the Father but through him, and all others who claim different are liars and thieves..Islam is a fake godless religion of hatred and accepting sin as normal..
the Mosque of Jesus, Son of Mary

muhammad taught it was required to blood sacrifice any soul who believed the message that Jesus ended blood sacrifice, being the last sacrificial Lamb. Connecting Jesus’ name with a religion of blood is just appauling but not unexpected from the Devil.

And, Jesus will come again and proclaim that Allah is the true God~~~and he, Jesus was a deceiver!!
That’s how I understand Islam actually see’s Jesus during “end times” (according to the Koran)
God didn’t need His Son. WE DID. Allah needs a son to be the anti-christ.
