Exposing the role that Islamic jihad theology and ideology play in the modern global conflicts

New Jersey: Rocks thrown through pastor’s window after Muslim center plans nixed

Mar 12, 2017 11:26 am By Christine Douglass-Williams

A local pastor’s home was vandalized for the second time this year, shortly after the plan for a proposed Muslim community center was nixed at a special Zoning Board meeting

The pastor at Grace Bible Fellowship, Joseph Basile, who opposed the Muslim community center, stated that “the issue with the mosque is only the location of it.” Some folks will be sure to call him “racist” and “Islamophobic,” yet it was his home who was targeted.

There are valid concerns about mosques and Islamic centers being situated in communities: the possibility of the jihad doctrine being preached in them never enters into discussions about proposed new mosques, but it should. An undercover survey revealed that “3 in 4 Islamic centers are hotbeds of anti-Western extremism.”

“Rocks thrown through local pastor’s window after Zoning Board knocks down Muslim community center,” by Corey McDonald, Jersey Journal, March 10, 2017:

BAYONNE — A local pastor’s home was vandalized for the second time this year, shortly after the plan for a proposed Muslim community center was nixed at a special Zoning Board meeting earlier this week.

Joseph Basile, a pastor at Grace Bible Fellowship who has been an opponent of the Muslim community center, told The Jersey Journal that rocks had been thrown through his window sometime after the special Zoning Board meeting Monday night.

“The police are trying to determine when it occurred, but I’m not quite sure (exactly when),” he said.

Basile said the vandalism is likely due to his opposition to the center, which was voted down Monday night after a heated, five-hour meeting.

It is unclear if there are any cameras in the vicinity. Police could not be reached for comment.

This marks the second time Basile’s house has been vandalized. In January, the pastor’s house was vandalized with spray paint, as well as the road and snow nearby.

Basile had said at the time that the graffiti was likely directed at him because of signs in his windows that read “Save Bayonne” and “Stop the Mosque.”

Basile’s wife — in late 2016 — also reported that she had been threatened by a stranger at her home for the signs in her windows.

Tensions reached their peak Monday night when the Zoning Board voted on the fate of the center after a year and a half process to find a permanent home for the nonprofit Bayonne Muslim group……

    Meanwhile the mosques and atendees have to fake claims about these types of attacks targeting them.

    Perfect examples of how the ‘peaceful tolerant religion’ operates.
    This brave pastor, his wife & home need and DESERVE physical security. Islam has no interest in any civil rights but its own.

      Neither the Mosque nor the attendees belong in the Western hemisphere.

      No Muslims. No Mosques. No Apologies

    Mafia tactics are all they know. No new community centers or mosques should be built anywhere in America until Christian centers and churches can be built in Saudi Arabia and other places in the Middle East.

    The violence only escalates until every last non-Muslim is dead or gone. Plan ahead.

    “the nonprofit Bayonne Muslim group……”

    Don’t be fooled! They operate for the “profit” it brings them.

    If o were still *presidente'”…the doj would be throwing *rocks* too.

      No – it should be “the nonprophet Bayonne Muslim group……”, because Muhammad was not a prophet of God – he was a fake.

    I hope that whatever objects were thrown at the Pastor’s house have been collected to determine if finger prints which can be identified of the vandals. Whomever is discovered as a result of serious attempts at intimidation and terrorizing should feel the full impact of the law, both state and federal.
    The entire public should be made aware that such acts of vandalism cannot be perpetrated with impunity.

    Security cameras, and motion detectors lighting, operating 24 hours per day, may be a necessary suggestion now that Pastor Basile’s house became a vandalism target.

    First, it needs to be made clear that to called this Christian pastor a “racist” for not supporting the opposing at he building of a mosque is an ignorant and absurd thing to say. For Islam is not a race and Muslims are not Islam. Islam is a religious /political system of mind control and had awful power over the thoughts and lives over the people who have been take in by and beguiled by it. Furthermore the Muslims are people who have been brainwashed into believing in false doctrines of Islam and are deceived by Islam false teaching.
    Second ,Islam revealed in the light of the Bible of topic of interest to some people who happen to be Christians Thus the following essay.
    The way for a person to discover the truth concerning the nature of Jesus is found in the Bible verse Isaiah 8:20. This instructs “To the law of the testimony. If they do not speak according to the word, it is because there is no light in them.” [N.K.J.V.] In other words, if a religious teacher has teaching that are in contradiction to the Word, the Bible, then that teachers is a false teacher who teaches false doctrines. The Muslim clerics, as the imam and mullahs, teach and speak doctrines about God from the Quran .
    As the Quran in 112 teaches “He is God alone: God is the eternal begetteth not…” Likewise, this religious book which is the entire foundation of and for Islam further teaches in 19:35. “It is not befitting to God that He should beget a son.” In great contrast the Bible teaches in John 1:14. “The Word was made flesh and dwelt among us, and we beheld His glory , the glory of the only begotten of the Father ,full of grace and truth.” Likewise John 3:16 teaches “For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son… Then just a little further in verse 18 it is written about Jesus Who is “the only begotten Son of God. “ Other places in the Bible further teach that Jesus is the Son of God as in Matthew 16:15:16. Luke 1:35. John 3:36. First John 4:14. 15. 5:14,15. Moreover to be even more clear the Bible teaches that Jesus is the Son of God, Who is God the Father. As found in Matthew 3:16,17. First John 2:22,23. 4:14,15. Of course , it ,very much, needs to made even more specific . The Bible teaches that Jesus is also God the Son. As seen in Hebrew 1:8 and First John 5:20. The imams and mullahs as well as the other apologists for Islam will try to “explain” this all away. As in they will try brush off all those Bible verse off by making the claim that the Bible had been corrupted, through time, by Christians and that’s why the Bible reads as it does. That claim they make actually underestimate the Power of God to protect and keep His Word safe and intact ,through time, and away from the corruption of men.
    In conclusion ,with the above instruction of the way to find doctrinal truth in Isaiah 8:20 and in the light of the Bible verse provided it may be clearly seen, by all those who are willing to see, that Islam is in terrible doctrinal error and it is therefore a false religion, Proverbs 14:12. John 14;6.
    In addition there is a Christian internet site which replies to the many claims made by the imams and mullahs as well as the other apologists for Islam. It’s http://www.answering-islam.org

      This is why Christians, all over North America, should be learning how to defend themselves. Do not depend on the police as they are not individual body guards. This won’t stop by praying..it will escalate until they are caught and punished. Soon, there will be an Armageddon as prophesied..a decade? A century? Don’t risk being wrong if it happens sooner. One only has to look at Europe to see the elements maneuvering into position.

    In the great and terrible conflict between the .Christian West and the Islamic East. Three things should be made clear. First a building of a Christian church would in no way be allowed in Sunni Saudi Arabia or Shiite Iran . The West is very tolerant. For many mosques are ,actually ,allowed to be constructed an even state of the USA. .Second ,this current conflict had been called “The War of Idea’s” So this is,somewhat of a reminder of the 1979 movie which is entitled TIME AFTER TIME .For the hero in that movie said “The first man to raise his fist is the man who has run out of idea’s.” As revealed in the above article a number of rocks have been thrown that pastors window. So the Muslim throwing those rocks are ,in essence, “raising their fists.” so those Muslim are men who must have run out of idea’s ” in this “war of idea’s ” Third, those name calling of that Christian pastor calling him “:Islamophobic” is nonsense. For an actual real Phobia is “an irrational fear. ” If anything that pastor is “Islamorealistic .for any fear he might have ,and the words are is “might have ” is indeed rational . As in about a construction of a mosque in his home area As for the following essay explains.
    The construction of the many mosques in both Europe and America not only means that more and more Muslims are entering those two continents and likewise more and more people in America and Europe are now being proselytized to Islam. This may be disturbing enough. In addition, this mass construction of mosques on America and Europe have still a further meaning which has been explained by a former Muslim who is now a Christian, Dr. Daniel Shayesteh, in his book ISLAM THE HOUSE I LEFT BEHIND for in page 99 it informs the reader that “The mosque is vital for establishing Muslims as sovereign over non-Muslims in a non-Islamic society or country. Building a mosque in a non-Islamic society or country symbolizes Islam’s claim over that society or country, even with a non-Muslim majority.”

    Rocks thrown through local pastor’s window after Zoning Board knocks down Muslim community center

    Here’s an actual hate crime for the MSM. Why aren’t they covering it?

    • mortimer says

      Yup, a genuine ‘hate crime’, but it doesn’t count if the victim is Christian. The Left wants all Christians dead.

    Pastor Basil should be recognized for bravery in the face of the enemy by his neighbors, and he should be given special consideration by the local police and volunteers. If America had more heroes like the good Pastor, we would not staring at an Islamic invasion.

  11. Marty says

    Mar 12, 2017 at 4:33 pm

    Many adherents of the islamic death cult wish they could throw rocks at people. So the pastor got off lightly. This time.

    • Anne Smith says

      Mar 13, 2017 at 8:27 am

      Isn’t throwing rocks at people one of their specialities? Especially at defenceless women, buried up to their necks in the ground, who have been accused of adultery? or going out alone without their husband’s permission? or marrying someone their family does not approve of?

      Usually they congregate in great public gatherings to do it. But give them time, they may be able to stage a big public gathering for rock throwing at the next person who annoys them in Bayonne.

    It is important for Western people to know about jihad. Jihad comes in FOUR FLAVORS: 1) military 2) jihad of the pen 3) jihad of speech 4) jihad of finance.

    It can be seen that only ONE TYPE OF JIHAD is military. The other three are just as effective paths of jihad and ‘NICE’ Muslims conduct jihad through WRITING, SPEAKING and FINANCING. They help the military jihad to go ahead.

    I hope the good pastor can get a concealed carry permit in light of the vandalism to his home and threats to his wife. JW readers are with him.

    You have to be careful about the locations of “mosques” and “community centers” because of the potential for work accidents.

      Muslims reject ham, then go ham at the drop of a hat.
