Islamic law forbids the construction of new churches. Christians are “forbidden to ring church bells or display crosses, recite the Torah or Evangel aloud, or make public display of their funerals and feastdays, and are forbidden to build new churches” – Reliance of the Traveller o.11.5 (6,7)
“House Church Forced to Cease Worship Activities in Java, Indonesia,” International Christian Concern, March 22, 2024:
03/22/2024 Indonesia (International Christian Concern) – A video of the disbandment of a Sunday worship service at a resident’s house in Balaraja, Tangerang Regency, on the island of Java, Indonesia, recently went viral on social media. Neighbors broke up the Christian worship service, which, according to Balaraja Police Chief AKP Badri Hasan, occurred on Sunday Morning, March 17.
After receiving reports of multiple residents gathering inside, police visited the home. However, they arrived after the worship time had ended.
Badri said the house had been used as a place of worship during the last year. However, that Sunday, neighbors alleged that no permit had been issued to allow a worship gathering to take place at the house.
Authorities asked the homeowner, who acknowledged she had hosted multiple worship gatherings, to publicly say she would no longer host worship services. “Declaring that starting today, I will no longer hold religious services in my house. Thus, I made this statement without any coercion from any party,” the woman said in a video….

We should ban the display of muslims worshiping in the streets as it damages the mental health of nonmuslims, especially the young people. A tit for tat.

I saw the muslim males worshipping inside the mosque and the backyard, while the females had to sit on the street (blocking the road) because there is not enough space.
That is how Islam respects women, putting them on the back of the men, on sthe streets. Or on the back of trucks together with goats while the men are inside the truck cabin.

Under islam, Rosa Parks would have to sit in the back of the bus.

Once some muslims from nowhere wanted to break up the worship activity in the house accross my place. They asked permission from the community leader who denied to give the permission. It seems that in most cases, the muslims who want to break up Christian worship activities are not from the areas. The niegbors usually do not really mind.
Typical Islamic way, lie, cheat, slander, I call it the lying jihad for the sake of Allah.

Maybe we Christians should disrupt services at the islamist mosques like they disrupt Christian services. Oh wait that would infringe on their religious freedom and the media would go nuts with accusations about racism, Christian terrorist and human rights. We are at a point in history where we persecute Christians and thats ok with the political leaders and the media.
Destroy a mosque or deface a Quran and see what the media reaction will be, or the response from our government.
