NYC Mayor Threatens to Shut Down Synagogues, Churches: But not Mosques
BIN ^ | 3/30/2020 | David Sidman

New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio threatened on Friday that the Big Apple could close down certain places of worship if New Yorkers continue violating the state’s stay-at-home restrictions and keep congregating for religious services at those locations report Fox News.

“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,” the Democrat mayor said at a news conference on the coronavirus crisis.

And although the corona-count hit the 1,000 mark in NYC on Sunday, city officials continue to work hard to control the spread of the pandemic.

“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,” he added.

Interestingly, de Blasio made no mention of the over one-hundred mosques in New York City.

De Blasio was also under fire recently for his bail reform whose lack of deterrent led many in New York’s Jewish community blamed for the increased antisemitic assaults.

If true, there will be videos of mosque congregants this Friday or over the weekend? Seems that someone would see and document?

“Tammany Hall” was a concept or organization, not a person.

I was called a racist and a bully on face book a couple days ago because I called it the "Kung Flu."

I didn't respond, just blocked the snowflake.

No, Tammany Hall was the location of NYC Democratic Party which controlled NYC politics from the late 1700’s until the late 1930’s. It was named after the native american chief Tamanend. Its most corrupt leader was a guy named Tweed in the 1860’s. He was corrupt beyond imagination and ran all the rackets long before the Mafia existed in NYC.

An oversight or is de Blasio putting Islam first?

How can a pastor in Tampa get jailed for holding 2 church services. (In a low risk area) and the mosques can function daily as usual in NYC? (A hot zone). Watching all this is like watching a surreal movie from Hollywood. Time for popcorn.

Christians take the abuse... muslims won’t.

So are Christians supposed to fight back and take to the streets? or keep on taking it.

Will Christians go to court? or keep on taking it.

There used to be Quakers who were pacifists... if everyone was pacifists... who would fight our wars and keep the enemy from overrunning us all...

Maybe Christians expect someone else to do their battle..
and PS. I am a Christian and I don’t have any answers but I fight being taken over by the wrong bunch.

Obviously. He depends on bearded savage votes to stay in power, plus the campaign contributions are really nice too.

He is a phoney and a communist who should not be in public office anywhere!

[Interestingly, de Blasio made no mention of the over one-hundred mosques in New York City....]

What else do you expect from a mayor who welcomed a pagan replica of Palmyra Triumph’s Arch into its city?

THE UNVEILING...
Replica of Palmyra Triumphal Arch Revealed at NYC’s City Hall Park

EXCERPT...
The original Roman arch was destroyed by ISIS in October 2015 and this model was recreated through painstaking analysis of numerous photographs. The Institute for Digital Archaeology (IDA), the Oxford based organization behind the installation, is also working on 3D modeling many of the archeological treasures in the Middle East and North Africa under the initiative the Million Image Database, in partnership with UNESCO.

Arch of Baal
(Satan’s sneaky project)
https://daniel11truth.com/arch-of-baal.htm

Introduction
To make a long story short, Palmyra’s Arch of Triumph was built by the Romans in the 3rd century AD, and it served as an entrance to the Temple of Bel, which was built as early
as 32 AD. Bel was one of the many names for the ancient Babylonian god, Marduk, who was created in the Enuma Elish, an ancient mythical tale on 7 clay tablets. Murduk was portrayed as the victor of a heavenly battle, and thus became the ‘god of gods’. The name ‘Bel’ simply meant ‘lord’ so it was adapted to many gods. The Canaanite spelling, Baal, is used in the Bible. Marduk was also the first god that humans concocted through a story, rather than being a physical object such as the sun, moon, earth, etc, which is why I think Babylon is referred to, In Revelation, as the ‘mother of prostitutes and abominations of the earth’. (Rev 17:5)

Anyway, Palmyra’s Temple of Bel was converted to a Christian church by the Romans and later became an Islamic mosque, used by the Muslims, but it was destroyed by ISIS in 2015. The Arch of Triumph, at the entrance, was the last to be destroyed in Oct 2015. Yet, by being destroyed, it has become even more well known and is making a comeback, in the end times, which is not surprising because I’ve always thought that Marduk was the “foreign god” in the ‘post-rapture’ verses of Daniel 11:37-39. Re-creation and connection to God’s riddle of 666.

The Institute for Digital Archaeology, based in the UK, along with partners such as Dubai Future Foundation and UNESCO, recreated the Arch of Baal using 3-D technology
and a robotic drilling machine to carve a 2/3 scale model out of Egyptian marble. The original happened to be 27 feet tall so a perfect .666 scale model turned out to be 18 feet (or 6+6+6). Of course, those same two numbers are used to ‘calculate the number of the beast’ in Revelation 13:18 (i.e. 666/18=37), which leads to God’s timeline of 37’s. (proof of the riddle)

Liberal hypocrisy has no shame. And DeBlowhard is nothing but a pimp.

So what’s new? Mark Twain said there were lies, damn lies and then there were statistics. And Mark Twain never met or knew communists, or experienced the globalist folks at the UN and WHO.

Why not just call them “orders”?

Maybe because a "suggestion" or "guideline," doesn't violate civil rights, but an "order" does.

"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances."

Elected Democrat-controlled cities get what they deserve, good and hard.

Elections have consequences.
Stupid is as stupid does.
Nothing good comes from Democrats.

ALL places of worship are closed in the UK at the moment - including Mosques.

It would be very stupid not to close them too.

The big London mosques (Finsbury Park Mosque and East London Mosque, for example) have voluntarily closed down.

De Blasio is chickenshiite.
