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).

Muslims view Abraham, Moses, and Jesus as a prophets.

Of course, they also view Christians as infidels who must be converted or put to the sword. But that’s another story.

The problem here is, the Muslims attain “herd immunity” much more quickly, and the mortality rate is insignificant, in comparison to most of the other causes of death among Muslims.

Now if they would develop leprosy, on the other hand....

You are probably right but King Wilhelm and his consort already have more than they can handle.

Can't any church open up if they keep the under 10 person guidelines and maintain social distancing?

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

I was a WITNESS to 9/11.

'Nuff said.

They believe Jesus was a prophet, but not divine. I’ve heard it said that Mary is mentioned more in the Koran than the bible, can’t say that I know if that is true.

James also says not to have “respect of persons.” I.e., don’t treat anyone as better than anyone else.

Mosque around the corner from my NY State home. Not a crowd or service on Friday in at least a month. Normally they’re parked up all the side streets and in front of my house.

Buuuu’ dat’s cause dey wash dey hands 5 times a day, and perform ablutions BEFORE performing a suicide bombing-— so.... they are muuuuuch safer than 5 month prior exposed POSITIVE for SARSCov2-19 ANTIBODIES (the only test worth a shite, in re: immunity. Not the “infection test”).

So— what’s the problem. The problem is Ground Zero displaced a CHRISTIAN church with a islamofascist Victory Site mosque.

This has to stop. Enabled by the self-hating other branch of semites, in govt. positions. “If ONE life is saved, these free Chi-com drones are worth deploying” (and sending aerial surveillance urban and human data to the Chi-Coms in exchange, as the “payment” for the “free” drones)!

Thanks for the post- you’re dead on right!

I would think someone would complain about the noise. Maybe they did, and were fined and jailed.(semi sarcastic)

Muslims venerate Mary. And they consider Jesus a prophet.

I guess they ignore the “Love thy enemies” part.

mosque? FOB Forward Operating Base for TOTALITARIANS. In the Collectivists Derby it was Marx/Mao on the inside, Mohammed on the outside. At the wire it’s Mohammed by a head. Hold all ballots. It’s not official.

I'm no theologian. And I'm a Protestant, so I don't see Mary quite the way Catholics do. But I find it very odd that Muslims would care at all about the mother of a prophet. What's the point? Now, if Jesus is more than a prophet, if He is the only begotten Son of God, then His mother would indeed be a significant figure. But Muslims seem to downgrade Jesus but care very much about His mother. I don't get it.

They know most Americans will roll over for whatever stupid thing they tell them to do.

In essence, people deserve the crap they put up with. Those who refuse to be pushed around generally get their way.

Its all about a test of wills.

THE FREAKIN' SUBWAYS ARE STILL OPEN IN NEW YORK CITY.

Until they shut down those mobile virus-breeding test tubes, the city is just pretending to be shut down.

“Its all about a test of wills.”

Agreed. And sadly, many Americans do not have much resolve.
