A mosque in New York is reportedly still open for daily prayers amid the coronavirus pandemic that has forced Christian churches across the country to close their doors and cancel their in-person gatherings.

While churchgoers in many states have been criticized and even punished for continuing to gather, that same level of scrutiny has apparently not been leveled at the Mosque of Jesus, Son of Mary in Syracuse, New York. What are the details?

Despite the state's executive order, which broadly bans all "non-essential gatherings of individuals of any size for any reason," neighborhood Muslims are still allowed gather together in the mosque's prayer room for calls to prayer throughout the week.

"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," a Syracuse.com report notes. (Though in a video of one of the prayers, it appears that the worshippers are not at least 6 feet away, as the Centers for Disease Control recommends).

Cowards.
They know most Americans will roll over for whatever stupid thing they tell them to do.
They know muslims will fight, and fight hard.

I don’t think Syracuse is part of DeBlasio’s kingdom.

“I don’t think Syracuse is part of DeBlasio’s kingdom.”

Thanks for the correction.....however I’m not so sure he believes that.

All mosques, New York and otherwise, should be open to removal and shipment to the Middle East where they are then dumped three miles off shore.

As part of our beliefs, Christians don’t wish ill will on others.

De Blasio:

“A small number of religious communities, specific churches and specific synagogues, are unfortunately not paying attention to this guidance even though it’s so widespread,” de Blasio said in an interview with reporters on March 27. “I want to say to all those who are preparing for the potential of religious services this weekend: If you go to your synagogue, if you go to your church and attempt to hold services after having been told so often not to, our enforcement agents will have no choice but to shut down those services.”

Christians don’t rush out of places of worship screaming and chopping heads off.

Executive orders issued in blue states are NOT enforced against certain minority religions, because of the rather violent blowback from its practitioners. Different laws apply to them, doncha know.

Doesn’t this violate several noise ordinances?

If not, time to ring out the large church bells, starting five minutes sooner and lasting five minutes longer whenever the call to the goat-god bleats.

I doubt very seriously this will impact them at all, regarding the virus.

The lockdown IS affecting churches, though, and quite negatively. But I don’t know if churches in the same NY area are locked down. If they are, this could get pretty bad.

The big question is this: Are churches allowed to have services in Syracuse?
