Apparently the Islamic prayers have been going on for months every week. Plus they are holding them in front of a church.

Just the beginning. Islam is not tolerant of ecumenical.

Now this article fits.

How did Muhammad remind his people to pray before there ever were bullhorns or loud speakers in his day?

Are they in need of such reminders?

They have timers available at Amazon for just this sort of reminder without needing to disturb the neighborhood (some of which might be praying to God in secret) rather than out on the streets.

Jesus didn't seem to be an advocate of street prayers

Mat 6:5 And when thou prayest, thou shalt not be as the hypocrites are: for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and in the corners of the streets, that they may be seen of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward.

The article is correct. If it was Christians or Jews gathering in such overwhelming numbers, they would have been told to move on.

In the case of the video and article, it's not referring to the call to prayer. It's about a tremendous amount of Muslims kneeling to pray in a public square and right in front of a church. They are there because they are pro-Palestinian. Going on for months every week.

As I said above to @pandaflower .... It seems because they are Muslims, they aren't being told to move along.

Yep. Very likely so.

Looks like their cult psycho strategy, tick us off and we'll kill you,left an impression.


Nothing reiterates the slogan, (false slogan) , "Religion Of Peace", like exploding suicidal followers.

There are Palestinian Christians though so is there another kind of Palestinian they are more pro than the Christian ones?

There are not many Palestinian Christians. The majority of Palestinians are Muslims.

They should really say, the muslims are just pro muslim in respects to their muslim brotherhood in Palestine, it would make things much clearer, than just "Pro Palestine" Because some people are called anti semitic for voicing any support for anyone in Palestine when Palestinians are semitics, and even Christians in Palestine are considered semitics also. So the whole anti semitic thing concerning it never makes sense to me.

When someone voices support for Hamas,they are antisemitic.
And if they're showing support for Christian Palestinians, that's just as bad when those Christians are targets of Hamas and Muslim Palestinians.

Semitic has to do with language and even Hamas speaks the semitic language, so it seems weird now to say something is anti semitic on the basis of ones location.

I don't know how it is somehow considered bad to express ones support for Christian Palestinians.

I think semitic is treated as a race thing and not a language thing between certain countries in the which do have Christians in them as well as Jews, as well as political arm of Hamas

And so I will add that I don't really get this whole "support a race" thing.

Hamas, as a political and military organization based in Palestine, operates primarily in the Arabic-speaking region. Arabic is a Semitic language, so the language used by Hamas is indeed a Semitic language.

Even AI shows the following

  • Arab States: Nations where Arabic, a Semitic language, is the primary language, including Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Iraq, Jordan, Lebanon, Syria, and others.
  • Israel: The official language is Hebrew, a Semitic language.
  • Ethiopia: The official language is Amharic, a Semitic language.
  • Eritrea: The official language is Tigrinya, a Semitic language.
  • Malta: The national language is Maltese, a Semitic language derived from Arabic.
  • Sudan: Arabic is the official language, a Semitic language.
  • Somalia: Arabic is used in religious and formal contexts, and Somali is a Cushitic language, but Arabic is Semitic.
  • Yemen: Arabic is the official language, a Semitic language.
  • Oman: Arabic is the official language, a Semitic language.
  • United Arab Emirates: Arabic is the official language, a Semitic language.

Someone from another country might side with Americans on the basis of an antifa movement (a bought and paid for arm of the left wing) because its in America, and then could claim you must be anti American because you do not side with antifa (who might be citizens of America) but work against it millitantly while being supported by one of the political arms (which drive it).

So it seem kind of lame to be pro or against a people in a specific location without being specific as to who exactly we are talking about. Far better to not say, "I am for Americans" (because they actually do support the political millitant arm of antifa within it) when that would mean they are in fact against Americans who do not believe their bs. It would be better to say, I do not accept what antifa is doing in America and perhaps I support (in my prayers even) the people there who are suffering under this evil faction.

Anti Semitic Misuse​

The term "anti-Semitic" is often used incorrectly, primarily due to a misunderstanding of its historical and linguistic origins. The word "Semitic" originally referred to a family of languages spoken in the Middle East, including Hebrew and Arabic, and does not denote a unified race or peoplehood.

However, the term "anti-Semitism" was coined only recently in the 19th century by German journalist Wilhelm Marr to describe racial hatred against Jews only, not against all Semitic peoples.
