Image Of Jesus Left Outside Mosque To Insult Muslims

IMAGE OF JESUS LEFT OUTSIDE MOSQUE TO INSULT MUSLIMS

A large painting of Jesus was left outside a mosque in Long Island in what police are investigating as a bias incident.

The Hillside Islamic Center in North New Hyde Park said an employee discovered the picture on Friday on a fence outside the mosque.

Mosque president Abdul Aziz Bhuyian told The Island Now surveillance from the building showed a man had cycled up to the mosque and hung the picture outside.

“I’m sure… he wanted to provoke,” Bhuyian told the website. “Had he had good intentions he would have come to us. We’re always here,” he said, adding: “We want to make sure the person doesn’t do the same thing to anybody else.”

Had the picture hanger bothered to check, he would have discovered Jesus is quite revered in Islam.

Muhammad in the Quran???

That's right, Jesus! Muhammad's uncle, who was his fatherly influence, is even referred to as a follower of Allah in the traditions of the Christ!!!


I cannot stand ignorant assholes like the ones that did this act!

Yahweh/God/Allah, however, is.

Fundies are too fucking dumb to understand that, in most matters, IT'S ALL ONE RELIGION.

And their followers are killing each other's and non-believers to prove the superiority of their made up gods.

there is more to religion than simple societal control. it has been used for that by governments and priest classes, sure.

but Buddha's insights, to use the case most helpful to my life, are a-theistic: without a god, and are not BS. they work whether you believe in reincarnation or not.

Therefore, I'm not sure how this can be considered an insult.
