  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

What makes these protestors "Christian"?

I'd like to know, too. There's nothing in particular that says being anti-Muslim is being pro-Christian. That's imposing a philosophical assumption that isn't necessarily intrinsically Christian to begin with.

The organizer showed up with a roasted pig, which, given the context, strikes me as deliberately antagonistic and decidedly unChristian.

Jake Lang, Florida man/candidate for Florida Senate, host of podcast Political Prisoner (J6), founder of website to be LIbertyCentric **check out the About page**, lately Minneapolis demonstrator (guess which side) and all around MAGA hero led protest outside the Gracie Mansion residence of NYC mayor called “Stop the Islamic Takeover of New York City, Stop New York City Public Muslim Prayer."

His group was met with a counterprotest pro-Islamic group from Pennsylvania. Two teens were arrested for throwing IEDs; fortunately, no one was hurt.

Overall, six people were arrested as a result of Saturday's protest — Balat and Kayumi, a person who deployed pepper spray and three others related to disorderly conduct and obstructing traffic, Tisch said.

Ian McGinnis, of Philadelphia, was among the other four arrested not in connection to the explosives, according to court records. He faces charges including assault, unlawful reckless endangerment and unlawful possession of noxious matter.

New York City Mayo Zohran Mamdani and first lady Rama Duwaji, who are Muslim, were home at the time of the commotion.

"Violence at a protest is never acceptable," Mamdani said in a statement. "The attempt to use an explosive device and hurt others is not only criminal, it is reprehensible and the antithesis of who we are."

Both Balat and Kayumi remain in custody as of Sunday evening.​

Given his profile, Lang is acting like he wants to be like Stephen Yaxley-Lennon of the UK.

Now this might strike some viewers as harsh...

Jan. 6 protester Jake Lang renounced his Judaism to court the far right. It isn’t working

Despite burning a Talmud and other antisemitic displays, the extremist influencer is being roasted by peers including Nick Fuentes as the Iran war deepens a conservative rift over Israel​


If anybody was going to wind up roasting a Jew, it was going to be the guy who idolizes Nazis.

ETA: Oh, so this is the new iteration of Dan Bilzerian I keep hearing about. I only knew of him being terrible when he was running around spending his daddy’s ill-gotten millions on private planes, machine guns, and half-naked models while cosplaying as a specops poker pro.

CANDIDATE DAN BILZERIAN

YEAH, I CALLED MY CONGRESSIONAL OPPONENT 'FAT JEW'​

The former "King of Instagram" is running for U.S. Congress against Rep. Randy Fine in Florida's 6th Congressional District, and hurled the derogatory phrase on social media ... after Rep. Fine blasted a dude for putting up "missing" posters of Adolf Hitler.

You could say things went from bad to worst, because when pushed, Bilzerian claimed Fine is a "Jewish supremacist" who puts Israel's interests before the USA's ... and, therefore, he's got no issue with calling Fine a "fat Jew."

All that being said, Bilzerian insisted he's not antisemitic, because he thinks it's a made-up term.

To be clear, these "anti-Jewish" -- the term Bilzerian prefers -- views aren't new for him ... in the past he's pushed conspiracy theories about Jewish people causing 9/11, and assassinating John F. Kennedy, while also stating Germany "flourished" when "Hitler removed Jews from the banking system."

A bigot gets famous by regaling the public with tales of debauchery funded by daddy's ill-gotten millions (billions?), then runs for office as a Republican from Florida.

A tale as old as time.

Just in case anyone wants to know: " Allahu Akhbar" roughly translates to "God willing." I think it is a miracle from God that not only did these explosives fail to detonate but the suspects wanted whatever that transpired to be of God's will. Not often that teenagers get away with such a loud miracle.

I have a very dark sense of humor so my mind went to "At least he did not call him a super skinny Jew". :/
