MAINE: City Removes Chanukah Display After Muslims Complain

34

Anything Jewish bothers Muslims, and everyone submits. It’s racist and bigoted and unAmerican. And whee are the large counter-protests? If anyone removed a Ramadan display because non-Muslims complained (which has never happened) there would be blood in the streets. It’s only a matter of time before only Eid decorations will be allowed.

It is astonishing how Muslims use Islamic slaughter of the unbeliever to impose more sharia, more Islamization on Western societies. Who saw that coming after 9/11?

The world lives in fear of offending the hypersensitivities of the ummah (the Muslim world).

Star of David in Westbrook’s holiday light display removed following complaints

By Robert Lowell, American Journal, December 1, 2023:

A Star of David has been removed from the city of Westbrook’s holiday light display following complaints from Arab American residents who “found it to be offensive in relation to the conflict currently in the Middle East,” according to Mayor Michael Foley.

The six-pointed star, a historic symbol of Judaism, is prominent on the national flag of Israel, which is at war with Hamas in the Palestinian territories of Gaza. Westbrook replaced the lighted star with an image of a dreidel, commonly associated with the celebration of Hanukkah, which begins Dec. 7.

The Star of David

Zoe Sahloul, founder of the New England Arab American Organization, which is based in Westbrook, did not respond to messages seeking comment by the American Journal deadline Wednesday. Walid Moumneh, listed on the organization’s website as its board of directors president, also could not reached.

Westbrook Public Service workers had mounted the Star of David on a pole at Main and Stroudwater streets when it installed holiday lights in the city, which is known for its extensive seasonal display throughout downtown. The display features lighted depictions of Christmas trees, animals, snowflakes and snowmen and other winter images.

The star was meant to support the celebration of Hanukkah, Foley said, rather than serve as a religious symbol.

We in the United States should stop giving into the demands of these muslims and tell them that if they do not like the United States they should move to an Islamic country where they can have their Sharia law and Islamic way of life. The big problem is that these muslims basically are working towards taking over our nations and turning them into Islamic nations that are just as bad as the failed nations these muslims came from.

With the “progressive” direction of most churches and their lack of faith, likely NOTHING will happen. Most might even agree to merge with Mosques.

Been saying to use the same disgusting, violent tactics as Islam for many years. They proved it works against our weak, virtue signaling, politically correct governments and local authorities.
If something isn’t done to stop these Muzzy Maggots. The next thing being taken down will be Christmas Trees, Lights, Reindeer, Santa Claus, etc. It will NOT end until they have eliminated CHRISTMAS.

NO DISPLAYS SHOULD BE REMOVED.
MUSLIMS CAN HAVE A DISPLAY BUT THEY MUST NOT BE ALLOWED TO HAVE THE POWER TO REMOVE THAT OF OTHERS.

GAZA JHAID TERRORISTS OF ISLAM DO FORBIDDEN ACTS OF HORROR TO SCARE OTHERS.
THEY MURDER. THEY RAPE. THEY TORTURE. THEY BURN PEOPLE ALIVE. THEIR CRUELTY HAS NO BOUNDS. MONSTERS FROM HELL AS THE WORLD SAW OCTOBER 7 IN ISRAEL. WE HAVE SEEN IT BEFORE.

IF MUSLIMS CANNOT ASSIMILATE INTO USA CULTURE PEACEFULLY, THEY MUST GO BACK TO WHERE THEY CAN. WHAT IS “OFFENSIVE” TO ONE MAY BE DEAR AND SUPPORTED BY MANY. BULLIES MUST NOT WIN. IT IS OFFENSIVE THAT ONE GROUP WAS ALLOWED TO FUSS AND GET ANOTHER GROUP BANNED. IN FACT, IT IS SICKENING…

A quick scan of Westbrook’s demographics will reveal the real problem. The town has a majority of democrat voters. This explains the celerity of their shameful acquiescence to a clear attack on an established religious group as well as that group’s disgustingly weak-kneed response.

The wimps of maine bowed down to the evils of Islam regarding what should be done. Never asking the Jewish population about what display should be.
They never had a problem till the evils if Islam reared its ugly head. How about shutting down the evil call to prayer early in the morning.

Bath house obama dumped about 20 thousand somalian islamic “refugees” in the Portland ME area and another 100+ thousand in Minneapolis at the same time. The investigation of the total corruption of the MN government and AG’s office disappeared after the george floyd b.s.. Maine’s issues apparently aren’t “newsworthy”.
