Why can’t these nutballs ever visit a mosque?

For the briefest moment, I wondered how the Mentally Ill have the income to travel to the Holy City. Then, I immediately answered myself; Hollywood, Academia, the MSM, Big Tech employees, Democrats, and their staffers, Deep State employees etc...

In this case because there are no graven images displayed. If you have never had the misfortune to encounter one of the literalist fundamentalist fanatics you are lucky.In the Baptist church my parents attended there was one. He was physically removed from the congregation twice for disrupting services by yelling and ranting during a service. After the second time he was told he would not be let back in the church ever. He tried to get in several times and was stopped at the door and forced back to his car by the deacons.

As he was arrested, the man shouted, “You can’t have idols in Jerusalem, this is the Holy City!”

Definitely Muslim.

You can hear him say “Exodus chapter 20” and “you’re not allowed to have images”.

He apparently thinks that he is enforcing verse 4:

“You shall not make for yourself an idol in the form of anything in heaven above or on the earth beneath or in the waters below.”

Yep, check out a similar quote from this website. No one else would say that kind of stuff. It's DEFINITELY Muslim:

"Catholics do practice a form of idolatry, in violation of God’s command"

Oh wait! That quote is actually from a PROTESTANT website.

My bad.

“There are no idols in mosques.”

There are any in Catholic churches either.

And ISIS was pretty darn sure the Kaaba stone was an idol -
https://www.facebook.com/261240580751406/photos/isis-we-will-ruin-the-kaaba-after-capturing-saudi-arabiaisisisilwhatever-are-thr/262692303939567/?paipv=0&eav=AfZzODPn22LqlbUBtneNYbEPD2ZlDuitVbcEJsSqm3cHkbPmg3lZMyuajj5qpeG56pM&_rdr

So if Muslims say there is an idol in a Muslim Mosque, you kind of have to go with that don’t you?

I’m just saying. . .

More likely to be a weirdo Jewish person or a weirdo fundamentalist Nazarene.

We are like a magnet for weirdos of all religions.

Based on images, my personal opinion is that the Black stone of the kaaba is the black stone ie meteorite that was worshipped as the god Elagabalus in Emesa (present day Homs).

I’ve heard that it’s not uncommon that there are visitors to Jerusalem who are so. overwhelmed that they flip out, convinced they are the messiah.
