NYC Mayor Threatens to Shut Down Synagogues, Churches: But not Mosques

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.

Why do Muslims get preferential treatment all them time?

Warren Wilhelm Jr. is a German. He probably loves the Muzzies.

Yeah. I read about it after I posted it but Tammany Hall relied on recent Irish immigrants for increasing voting power. Deblasio is using ALL illegal and legal immigrants to do the same thing. I’m not comparing the Irish to Illegal aliens. In those days they had Ellis island that screened legal immigrants. But in a quirky way there’s a parallel to that 1800s corruption.

Warren Wilhelm has now become a genocidal islamophobe?

Of all the possible effects of coronovirus, this is not one that I ever would have expected.

Very interesting video.
Who is this guy. Tried doing some searching but couldn’t find anything that explains who he is, his background, etc.

Because enraged Muslims kill. Simple.

But the Israelis have taught us that even enraged Muslims are not immortal.

We should apply that lesson to these shores.

I’m okay with this. DeBlasio is going to let the Muslims die. Best decision he’s ever made!
