Police on Long Island are investigating after someone hung a large painting of Jesus Christ on a fence at a mosque early Friday evening….Investigators are treating the incident as a hate crime.
This example represents a new low: a painting of Jesus left on a fence at a mosque is deemed so offensive to Muslims that it is being investigated by (shariah) police in Long Island as a hate crime, even though “mosque leaders told police that they are not offended by the imagery of Jesus Christ.”
This case highlights that it is Western dhimmis and useful idiots who are largely to blame in surrendering and even escorting the West into the House of Islam. They are so clueless that even the New York branch of CAIR (an unindicted co-conspirator to terror financing) saw the “hate crime” investigation as a golden opportunity to proclaim “unity” between the Abrahamic faiths. A note of review:
CAIR co-founder and Chairman Emeritus Omar Ahmad was named, in the same 2007 Holy Land Foundation trial, as an unindicted co-conspirator with HLF. During the trial, evidence was supplied proving that Ahmad had attended, along with Nihad Awad, the aforementioned 1993 Philadelphia meeting of Hamas leaders and operatives. Moreover, prosecutors described Ahmad as a member of the Muslim Brotherhood’s “Palestine Committee” in America.
CAIR’s foundational and influential members are intricately and extensively tied to terrorist entities. Words of “unity” from any CAIR affiliate should not be taken at face value.
“Painting Of Jesus Investigated As A HATE Crime”, by Eric Owens, Daily Caller, July 9, 2017:
Police on Long Island are investigating after someone hung a large painting of Jesus Christ on a fence at a mosque early Friday evening.
Investigators are treating the incident as a hate crime, reports NBC New York.
The painting is a crucifixion scene showing a largely silhouetted Jesus with his crown of thorns prominently featured. It appeared outside the Hillside Islamic Center in Nassau County, according to investigators.
An employee of the Hillside Islamic Center initially discovered the Jesus painting, reports CBS New York.
Surveillance camera captured video of a man placing the image on the fence, police say.
Mosque leaders told police that they are not offended by the imagery of Jesus Christ, according to News 12 Long Island.
This lack of offense has not stopped investigators from labeling the incident as a potential hate crime.
The New York branch of the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), America’s largest Muslim civil rights group, issued a statement urging the person or group behind the painting to learn more about Muslim beliefs.
“Bias may have motivated this incident, but it could serve as a teaching moment for the perpetrator and for the community if it leads to greater understanding of the love Muslims have for Jesus, peace be upon him,” the CAIR statement said……
old white guy says
I find all of islam offensive. I find the koran is hate literature, now what are they going to do to appease me?
DrSique says
Nuthin’, you’re an “old white guy.” You don’t have protected status from the far left. Convert to Islam or start calling yourself a woman and appeasement will be forthcoming.
Ron says
The best for this country is to stop brain washing our children in our schools. We need to get rid of all radical muslins those attempting to get Sharia Law approved in this country.
Ned kelly says
Muslims have Jesus in the Quran, + accept him as a prophet, so where is the hate.?
Verity Pink says
Their problem with the picture would be that the Koran says that the Lord Jesus did not die on the Cross, but that a substitute was crucified instead. This is also the reason why so many terror attacks happen in Holy Week:
Why Easter Brings Out the Worst in Islam
By Raymond Ibrahim April 19, 2017 , 7:00 am
Why are some Christians murdered and many more terrorized in the name of Islam every Easter holiday?
This year’s most notable attack occurred in Egypt, where two packed Coptic Christian churches were bombed during Palm Sunday mass, leaving 50 dead and 120 injured.
While this incident received some coverage in Western media, attacks on churches in Egypt on or around Easter are not uncommon. For instance, two days after the Palm Sunday attacks, on April 12, authorities thwarted another Islamic terror attack targeting a Coptic monastery in Upper Egypt. Similarly, on April 12, 2015, Easter Sunday, two explosions targeting two separate churches took place in Egypt. Although no casualties were reported—hence no reporting in Western media—large numbers could easily have resulted, based on precedent (for example, on January 1, 2011, as Egypt’s Christians ushered in the New Year—another Christian holiday for Orthodox communities—car bombs went off near the Two Saints Church in Alexandria, resulting in 23 dead worshippers and dozens critically injured).
Less spectacular but no less telling, after 45 years of waiting, the Christians of Nag Shenouda, Egypt, finally got a permit to build a church; local Muslims responded by rioting and even burning down the temporary tent the Christians had erected to worship under (different incident from this similar one). Denied, the Christians of Nag Shenouda celebrated Easter in the street, to Muslims jeers and sneers
While almost anything can provoke Muslims around the world to attack churches, there is a reason that the animus can reach a fever pitch during Easter: more than any other Christian holiday, Resurrection Sunday commemorates and celebrates three central Christian doctrines that Islam manifestly rejects: that Christ was crucified and died; that he was resurrected; and that by especial virtue of the latter, he is the Son of God. As Dr. Abdul Rahman al-Bir, Egypt’s Muslim Brotherhood’s mufti said in 2013, Muslims must not commend Coptic Christians during Easter, for that holiday “contradicts and clashes with Islamic doctrine unlike Christmas.”
From here the carnage makes sense. Thus on Easter Sunday, 2016, another Islamic suicide bombing took place near the children rides of a public park in Pakistan, where Christians were known to be congregated and celebrating. Some 70 people—mostly women and children—were killed and nearly 400 injured. Something similar was in store for Pakistan this year, 2017, as officials foiled a “major terrorist attack” targeting Christians on Easter Sunday.
Celebrating Easter is an especially dangerous affair in Muslim-majority regions of Nigeria: a church was burned down on Resurrection Sunday, 2014, leaving 150 dead; another church was bombed on Resurrection Sunday, 2012, leaving some 50 worshippers dead; Muslim herdsmen launched a series of raids during Easter week, 2013, killing at least 80 Christians—mostly children and the elderly; additionally, over 200 Christian homes were destroyed, eight churches burned, and 4,500 Christians displaced.
As Islam’s presence continues to grow in Europe, and in accordance with Islam’s rule of Numbers, Easter-related attacks are also growing. According to one report, “the terror cell that struck in Brussels [in March, 2016, killing 34] was planning to massacre worshippers at Easter church services across Europe, including Britain.” In Scotland, 2016, a Muslim man stabbed another Muslim man to death for wishing Christians a Good Friday and Happy Easter. If an al-Qaeda terror plot targeting Easter shoppers in the UK was not thwarted “it would almost certainly have been Britain’s worst terrorist attack, with the potential to cause more deaths than the suicide attacks of July 7, 2005, when 52 people were murdered.”
One can go on and on:
The day before Good Friday, 2015, Muslim jihadis raided a Kenyan university and massacred 147; along with the fact that they tried to distinguish between Muslim and Christian students in order to kill only the latter, that they taunted those whom they slaughtered by mockingly saying things like “This will be a good Easter holiday for us” placed their animus in the context of the Christian holiday.
In Iran, Easter Sunday, 2012, saw 12 Christians stand trial as “apostates”; authorities raided an Easter service in a house-church in 2014, arresting and hauling off all those in attendance; and in 2015, various churches were banned from celebrating Easter Sunday altogether.
On Easter Sunday, 2015, the Islamic State destroyed the Virgin Mary Church in Tel Nasri, an ancient Christian region in northeast Syria. After Islamic rebels fired rockets at a Christian neighborhood right before that same Easter, 2015, killing approximately 40, a woman lamented how “Our Easter feast has turned to grief.”
In 2015, Muslims attacked a Catholic village in Bangladesh as it celebrated Easter; they stabbed its priest, destroyed Bibles, crosses, holy pictures, musical instruments and homes — and slaughtered goats and chickens.
In Turkey, a pastor was beaten by Muslims immediately following Easter service and threatened with death unless he converted to Islam.
According to an AP report from 2013, “Iraq’s Catholic Christians flocked to churches to celebrate Easter Sunday, praying, singing and rejoicing in the resurrection of Christ,” but only “behind high blast walls and tight security cordons.”
Of course, while Resurrection Sunday has the capacity to offend—and thus bring out the worse in some—Muslims more than any other Christian holy day, one should be careful not to attribute too much doctrinal nitpicking to those who attack churches. After all, Muslims have bombed and burned Christian churches on other holidays—in the days leading to last Christmas, 2016, a Cairo church was bombed leaving 27 dead and 70 wounded—and no holidays at all. (See here for Christmas 2016, here for Christmas 2015, and here for Christmas 2014 for dozens of anecdotes of Muslim violence against and slaughter of Christians in the context of Christmas.)
In short, whatever the holiday, growing numbers of Muslims appear to agree with the view voiced by one Egyptian cleric that “Christian worship is worse than murder and bloodshed”—meaning, shedding the blood of Christians and murdering them is preferable to allowing them to flaunt their opposition to Muhammad’s teachings, as they most certainly do every Sunday in church. Only more doctrinally attuned Muslims, who are in the minority, save their attacks for that one day of the year that so flagrantly defies Islam: Resurrection Sunday.

Very true, Verity Pink.
Ron says
You forgot to mention destroying Christian churches, destroying house and denying Christians the right to work. Not only Christians but minorities are also persecuted for no reason other reason than being a Christian or minority.
You also didn’t mention the public beheading of Christians and attempting to rid the Middle East of Christians. Many more murders of Christian have taken place in muslins countries, so Jesus is mention in the Coran, they sure didn’t didn’t abide by his teachings of Love Your Neighbor.
simpleton1 says
Why do we create our own western, sharia police? under the guise of Human Rights etc.
We seem to do more self sharia, than even muslims would dream about, well until they have the numbers.
Even interfaith coreligionist would be against this poster.
Are we ashamed of just being West, being Christian, being atheist, secular, etc.?
Ron says
We don’t behead people for being Christian, or murder thousands as they do in the Middle East, where have you you been when all this is in our news. What experience do you have and what research have you done,
Wakeup says
satanists don’t like Jesus.
Doris says
What are SHARIA POLICE? Apparently no one from the Mosque filed any charges. A church was burned down in our city, unless the congregation pressed charges there would be no arrest. Of course. the congregation pressed charges, and the arsonist was arrested. Why is this matter being invrstigated without a complaint or charge
Manny says
No this is not hate. Jesus Christ is love and the crucifixion is the greatest act of love God has ever provided. This is what a real martyr does, die for others in the face of persecution. Not kill others for domination in some politico/religious end such as in Islam.
Monty says
Just about everything offends Muslims. Make them go back to wherever they came from so that they won’t risk being offended any more. If they are citizens, send them anyway. Call it reverse refugees or something.
Lucia Bartoli says
Well said
Bill Singleton says
Who the hell cares? Not allowed to insult Muslims No Christian prayers in schools?Tear down all monuments ? Whose country is this? Stupid people rioting because they lost the election. WHAT ELSE/
Ron says
I agree go back to the countries we’re sharia law is practiced, and using their faith to forceably impose the Muslin faith on them or be denied jobs and in many cases murdered. Our Constitution is the only law of the land, that’s it if you don’t like it leave.
eur says
Jesus akbar !!!! Hahaha, how ridiculous is all this.
rbla says
If some Islamic symbol or calligraphy were left on a church fence it would be laughed off as youthful hijinks.
wea says
I agree with this, I could say I am offended by everything Islamic, I want to be compensated, why isn’t there a Council on American-Non Islamic Relations (CANIR). Just like All religions you have a right to practice them, and you have a right to freedom of speech, and if you don’t like what a person says put your big girl panties on, and STOP crying and suing saying your freedom has been violated, what about OUR rights I’m tired of our rights being treed on and our way of life and history, you came to the USA then respect our History and way of life.

So true, Mortimer.

Islam recognises Jesus as a prophet. So where is the hate crime? Someone please educate these useful idiots.
R Russell says
It is because the Islamic Jesus was not crucified. Allah tricked the people by having another take his place

The main role of the “Muslim Jesus”–really, “Isa”–is to murder Christians in the last days.

Forget “Where is the hate crime?”. Where is the crime? Hanging a picture on a fence is not a crime of any kind. Show me the statute.
Malcolm (South Afric) says
Islam recognizes Jesus as a prophet, that is what they say, however Islam is anti Jesus as they reject the Jesus of the Gospel.
Islam has desecrated our Churches since its inception to now and that is not likely to change.
John A. Marre says
Looks like Sharia police are magically appearing here and there all over the world. Why were we not told? Why were we not consulted?
BECAUSE the authorities want Islam to become dominant.
Just ordered this book: The Complete Infidel’s Guide to Free Speech. Available now. Buy it!
Lucia Bartoli says
That was not a hate crime but an act of love. Why not just remove it? Now more and more people will do similarly –as Christians our JOB is to spread His message. Lesser people would have done actual crime! Those intolerant pedophile islamist goats should consider themselves lucky.

What about all that “dialogue” the Islamists talk about–ah yes it’s all one way.
Besides that is not a hate crime but a form of proselytizing and evangelizing. If Jesus image is so offensive to them then the are Satan’s minions
PATRICIA FRANCES KOENIG says
Islam should be investigated as a hate crime. Islam is all about hatred and violence against non-Muslims… and against women.
Shmooviyet says
Does CAIR usually add “pbuh” in reference to Jesus? Hadn’t seen that before.
Pumbar says
Depends who’s listening.

Muslims sometimes do. That is because the Muslim “Jesus”–really, “Isa”–has nothing in common with the Jesus of the Gospels.

Kay says
Yes, or another member.
I am offended by the use of the word “perpetrator” in the CAIR statement about the display of the image of the crucified.
somehistory says
Could this be “pearls” wasted? The person sharing his faith in Jesus will be trampled upon and ripped open.
Jesus said not to give “what is holy to dogs or thrown pearls before swine.” The result is not that the dogs and swine see and appreciate these things, but attack the very one that has given what is holy and given the pearls.
Christians need to remember this. Jesus is never wrong.
R Russell says
The battle needs to be won “in the heavenlies” first of all. No shortcuts. It will be costly and many will be martyrs. However, many Muslims are seeing visions and dreams about the Jesus of the Bible and becoming Christians. Let us pray that Jesus will continue to bring Muslims to Himself. He died and rose for them also – bless His Holy Name!
somehistory says
God has the ability to read the heart, to see what is held by a person as holy, what the person values, etc. He knows who will worship Him in “Spirit and Truth.” He is seeking those ones, but the majority of mankind is not on that “narrow and cramped way leading to life.”
And attempting to assist moslums by leaving this painting near the barracks…if in fact, a Christian did this…is not likely to help any of them to recognize where salvation is to be found. Each individual person must find Jesus, and be drawn to Him by The Father.
SK says
I like your response.
This incident being a “hate crime” makes me sad. It’s true that the person was messing with private property though.
Jandre Kroeze says
Thats quite funny actually Christ is LOVE and embodies Love entirelly. May all who considder this as hatred be acursed forever and rendered unto Death for Mocjing the Most High.
Flavius Claudius Iulianus says
“Mosque leaders told police that they are not offended by the imagery of Jesus Christ, according to News 12 Long Island. This lack of offense has not stopped investigators from labeling the incident as a potential hate crime.”
Maybe the police involved should start wearing those bright orange “Sharia police” uniforms used in Germany.
Inspector Clouseau says
Yeah. Who are these “investigators” ?

New York: Jesus painting left at mosque being investigated as ‘hate crime’

I suppose we had to expect we would reach this level of madness….
The other day I found some Jehovah’s Witnesses had left a couple of copies of “The Watchtower” on our door. Should I consider this a “hate crime”, as well? sarc/off
balafama says
did i just read correctly ? the muslims say the image of JESUS doesn’t offend them but the police still want to term it a hate crime ,where is the hate if the intended audience are not hurt or angered by this expression. vandalism …….maybe but hate crime ? baffling
Lydia says
The muslim ‘jesus’ is not the real Jesus.
Muslims have the learning to do, (and those who are with them and claim that this person could have been ‘taught’ something), not those who bring them the gospel.
The real Jesus of the New Testament fulfilled every Old Testament Bible prophecy about the Messiah (close to 400 of these are in there), including the timing given by Daniel the prophet. This list is even on the internet, from the birth in Bethlehem by a virgin to the details of the crucifixion for our sins.
( :
Good for that guy for bringing that painting! I have done stunts like that, which may or may not have been caught on surveillance camera like everything else nowadays, but one day we can all watch the videos in a heavenly theater, since God’s lens captures everything! Ah yes, those are the moments that matter…
: D
God bless!
Jerry says
Mosque leaders told police that they are not offended,” but, “Investigators are treating the incident as a hate crime.”
Since when is a picture of Jesus a hate crime? Why can’t it be seen as a well-intentioned act of spiritual outreach or religious goodwill? Here’s a rare case where the muslims actually have more sense than our own police. Walk down the street from that mosque and you’ll see a church full of Christian symbols and believers. How long until they too are considered a hate crime? I’m thinking not long, not if our dhimmi leaders get their way.

Would the following be considered a hate crime???https://www.jihadwatch.org/2017/07/new-hampshire-domestic-violence-charges-against-immigrant-dropped-due-to-his-cultural-incompetence
Renee says
So, evangelizing in muslim areas is a hate crime as well? Or disturbing and causing societal unrest?
Sounds we are back to biblical times when Christians were persecuted. Every day we have to hear the call to prayer, saying their Allah is the greatest. Is that a hate crime as well?
Guest says
The mosque leaders are not even pressing charges. And Frankly that painting is beautiful I don’t see why anyone should be upset in the first place.
Peggy says
One thing we know to be true is that Muslims will tell you when they are angry so why don’t the police believe the mosque elders when they say that they are not offended?
Muslims have no problem with telling us that they will take over and that we will be under their command.
So, why doe the police then don’t accept what they are saying now?
It seems like our own idiots are offended for them.
FYI says
So, are muslims lying when they say the respect Jesus as a prophet?
What possible offense could any muslim have with Jesus…unless they hate the Truth.
Doesn’t the koran even deny Christ?
Yes

They don’t believe in the crucifixion–nor that Jesus is the savior.
Of course, there are others who don’t believe this, either–but they don’t murder Christians over it, as do Muslims.

Its time then that the police start to investigate Hollywood, the media and all film and play makers for hate crimes against Christianity, the continual assault in almost every movie. Get the FBI on to this now.

The FBI does not investigate those practicing freedom of expression. I don’t like a lot of the smears on Christianity in Hollywood, but in a free country we don’t have the FBI “investigating” this.
Mark A says
Isn’t Jesus considered a revered prophet in Islam?
If so, why would a picture of Jesus outside a mosque be considered a hate crime?
gravenimage says
Because he is depicted as the Savior–Muslims murder Christians over this.
ROBERT PAVLICK says
So if Muslims love Jesus so much and consider him a Prophet, as “Moderate Muslims” would like us to believe, then why would this be a hate crime? They should have taken the painting inside and put a vase of flowers in front of it !
Jacqueleen says
Wow! Wait a minute! A Muslim can openly profess that unless one converts to Islam, they will be killed and get off as being offended if objected and gets off completely free. Then, a Christian leaves a message for conversion at a Mosque and this is considered a “Hate Crime!” Who is nuts in this case? The INSANE ARE RUNNING THE ASYLUM! We are fed up with POLITICAL CORRECTNESS THAT IS ONLY IN OUR ENEMIES’ BENEFIT. President Trump are you listening to the Police Department that should be deporting the criminal Muslims instead of attacking Christians who want to convert the Muslims?
