From KTNV in Las Vegas:Â
Parishioners are terrified after protesters have disturbed Mass at several Catholic churches across the valley.
The group, Koosha Las Vegas, includes members who clearly identify themselves as former Muslims turned Christians. They’ve been entering churches during services, shouting at Catholics that they need to repent now or else, and filming the acts and posting them on the internet.
The videos make clear the group has been active on the Las Vegas Strip and several other places around the valley; they’re often seen with large signs and megaphones. The difference now is that they’re going into houses of worship and causing disturbances. Parishioners tell Action News it’s made them fear for their lives.
“Repent, and turn to Jesus Christ. Pope is a Satan! Pope is a Satan! Mary statue is a Satan!” the man behind the camera can be heard shouting.
The videos are taken by the very people passing out the pamphlets and shouting during mass in at least 3 incidents confirmed by police. The Catholic Diocese of Las Vegas confirmed to Action News “multiple disturbances at several of their properties”.
Ping!
This happened to a local church near us a couple of years ago. The cops were called and they ate the pavement.
Somebody tell these folks that Martin Luther’s been there and done that.
So now they have basically gone from “there is no God but Allah” to “there is no Christian church but mine”. Same deal different day. :-)
Since they are videoing their incursions, to include Priests, Parishioners, lack of security, exits, etc, and they all profess being former Muslims...well, what if they’re still Muslim, and just getting the Intel for a jihadi hoedown.
On the one LV news I saw, it said they weren’t arrested as they weren’t breaking the law.
Reminds me of the ex-acidhead born-agains that used to annoy us when we went to Hermosa Beach in the 70s.
Interesting....
Some might say, the converts from the darkest pits of hell that is lslam to the glorious freedom in Christ are the most fervent in their faith...
I don’t agree with their methods, but considering the Apostle Paul was an in your face type of preacher....
The most important part is they are converts from Islam, which is death sentence...so they take their faith seriously as opposed to most Christians...
I wouldn’t bet a lot on that term- former.
“Are they sure these are former muslims? Sounds more like your average Freeper protestant.”
Are you assuming there’s a difference?
——well, what if they’re still Muslim, and just getting the Intel for a jihadi hoedown.——
Pretty dumb way to get Intel when you could just walk in and sit in a pew and not be an attention whore...
Wait ‘til they hit one of our biker churches.
My questions are, were the police called, and if so, why weren't these individuals arrested? If the police were not called, why not?
Enough of this political correctness BS. These churches have to demand the protesters’ arrest. Otherwise, these terrorists will just keep doing what they're doing.
I would be praying for the Holy Spirit to seal their lips, have them sit down and listen.
Someone else can call 911 — also a necessity.
“Some might say, the converts from the darkest pits of hell that is lslam to the glorious freedom in Christ are the most fervent in their faith...”
Some might. But then again there are non-Muslims converts to Christianity who are as fervent as this guy and they don’t barge into someone else’s church to harass people.
“I don’t agree with their methods, but considering the Apostle Paul was an in your face type of preacher....”
Did Paul ever preach against non-Jews INSIDE their own temples? He had a right to enter synagogues and debate his fellow Jews, but he never entered the temples of non-Jews.
“The most important part is they are converts from Islam, which is death sentence...so they take their faith seriously as opposed to most Christians...”
No, the most important part is that they are sinning by encouraging orthodox Christians to commit apostasy and committing a form of blasphemy. The fact that they once lived in almost total darkness does not excuse the fact that they are now living in lesser darkness while claiming to be the only ones possessing the Light. The fact that they are idiots too doesn’t help. Don’t defend stupid. Don’t defend sin.
Would not surprise me if they are still Muzz.
Kill the bastards next time.
“I would be praying for the Holy Spirit to seal their lips, have them sit down and listen.”
Best thing to do is start reciting the Rosary - at the top of your lungs. Then when they leave follow them into the parking lot - reciting the Rosary at the top of your lungs. Then when they get in their cars surround the cars - while reciting the Rosary at the top of your lungs.
Then find their homes. Show up every day, day after day, all day long reciting the Rosary, blocking their drive way, distributing Rosary leaflets, etc. Collect money, buy a full page ad in the local newspaper detailing what happened and name the perps (first name only) asking people to pray the Rosary for them perps and for God to change their vicious anti-Catholics hearts.
One of the following things will happen:
1) They’ll stop being jerks.
2) They’ll leave town.
3) They’ll convert.
It would be better if they had taken their proselytizing into a Mosque. Maybe they aren’t as brave and sincere as they think.
