No Police Raids? Syracuse Mosque Continues Holding Daily Prayers Amid COVID-19 Lockdown As Christians Are Threatened and Fined For Attending Drive-In Services

Why no police raids?

A Syracuse mosque is still open for daily prayers amid the Coronavirus shutdown as Christians are threatened and fined for attending drive-in services.

New York is the country’s Coronavirus epicenter with more than 18,000 deaths, however this mosque is still open for prayers.

This mosque located on the north side was once the Holy Trinity Catholic Church, but it closed down due to lack of parishioners — now it is considered a victory mosque.

Syracuse.com reported:

[Irfan Elahi] used his skills to create a prayer room covered in plastic with special ventilation that allows daily prayers to continue in the 116-year-old former church, as the holy month of Ramadan nears.

The room is lined with plastic, and two machines siphon air out of the room to create negative pressure. Air in the room is recycled every four minutes. Elahi used the materials and expertise from his day job to create what he called a “clean room.”

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.

There is something disgusting about raising your butt, offering your stinky butt to their “gawd.”

Muslims are superior, just ask them.

It’s in their book.

and nearly all of them were allowed to come to this country AFTER 9/11. Our Ruling Class is traitorous at both the federal and state levels.

“Why no police raids?”

Probably because of this

“About 10 worshippers in masks are allowed in at a time, though rarely do that many show up.”

Christians won’t behead you for destroying their churches.

Yet.

The problem with this article is that the Mosque goers were in New York and they were being contrasted with Church goers in another state. This article would be valid if the church goers and the Mosque goers were in the same jurisdiction but, they are not. Iknow picky picky picky!

My rust-belt city has a lot of old (beautiful) and closed churches, particularly in the old parts of town. They were built by Polish, Italian, German immigrants 150 years ago. For the most part, the local diocese has left them standing, looking for buyers, repurposing, etc…. There was one that closed recently, in the part of town now dominated by Arab/Yemeni immigrants. The local diocese tore that church down within just a few months of its closure. I never saw any news about it, but one can guess….

The Leftist authorities are afraid of Muslims because they know they will resort to violence if provoked and they will be screaming racism while they do it which is like Holy Water to the demonic Left.
