It was powerfully generous of the Muslims in Westbrook to allow Christmas decorations. Not too very long from now, only Eid decorations will be allowed.
“Star of David in Westbrook’s holiday light display removed following complaints,” by Robert Lowell, Portland Press Herald, November 29, 2023 (thanks to Frank):
Members of the Arab American community were offended by the Jewish symbol in light of the Israel-Hamas war. The star has been replaced with a dreidel.
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….

Have they reported on the offense the Jews feel regarding what is happening in Israel? If’s offensive to the Jews in Maine who are not being allowed to do what they would ordinarily do because the mozlums in Israel have been waging war on innocent babies, children and their families.
Will there be the mozlum celebration and will the city not allow some of the horrifics displayed by mozlums….blood running freely…how about when that one group plays the cutting/slashing of the backs game, even for the littlest kids?
The appeasing is gathering steam even as the slaughtering gets more widespread.
bill says
Just replace with a star that has a different number of points
gravenimage says
Bill, why should no one be allowed to display the Star of David?
Fran says
We’re a judeo-Christian nation. Muslims do not need to look at menorah or Christmas trees if they don’t like it
Hugh Fitzgerald says
The Star of David is considered “offensive” by Muslims not because of the war in Gaza, — that is merely the latest excuse — but because anything that might please Jews, at any time, is”offensive” to Muslims. And as Robert notes, soon enough those Christmas trees and creches are going to be removed to placate Muslims.
Ray Jarman says
Hugh Fitzgerald,
Even here in the state of Washington people are afraid of placing a menorah in their windows facing the street. I have placed one and I am Christian because we all should support our Jewish brothers. This is America which is described (or used to be) as a Judo/Christian nation and we have to live up to the description.
Wellington says
Good for you, Ray Jarman, for displaying a menorah though you are a Christian.
Christianity and Judaism are enlightened religions. Islam, considering how widespread it is, functions as the single most evil religion in the entire history of mankind.
deil says
thank you ray jarman
und
god bless you.
Rodd Pirnazar says
God bless you, Ray. 👏👏👏🙏🙏🙏
Frances barnett says
If the Muslims don’t like the star, they don’t have to look at it
gravenimage says
Excellent, Ray!
Westman says
The Muslim meeting houses in the area are very low key, no outward markings that they are mosques. No domes or roof crescents. It would seem strange that they would complain about Christmas decorations given the obvious reticence to attract public attention. I would bet some fellow travelers are the motivators.
Kenneth Johnson says
The Jews hjave been a part olf our society since at lkeast the revolutiionary war. The display of the Str of David has a long and honorable tradition in oiur country. NOTE,
our country. Too bad those Muslems are offended. They are in the United States and should learn okmur customs and traditioins. Shame on Mayor Foley for this act of
appeasement. KEN
Rodd Pirnazar says
Well said, Kenneth. Bravo! 👏 🙏💯
Troybeam says
Islamic appeasement needs to end. This is America, the Star of David has always been part of Christmas as is Santa Clause, Angels, Jesus and God.
If Muslims do not like American traditions they are free to LEAVE.
Ray Jarman says
Well stated Troybeam.
Rodd Pirnazar says
Perfectly stated 💯🎯
Canuckguy NB says
Troy, why would they leave, they got the pandering infidels at their feet.
gravenimage says
Too true.
Bexarkat says
Apparently the city council doesn’t know what a dreidle stands for….’Nes Gadol Hiyah Sham’ meaning a great miracle happened there. That’s the story of October 8-November 30, a miracle that the rats nest in Gaza are being eliminated.
Siddi Nasrani says
So what that YOU find it offensive. I find your God, your holy book & your prophet offensive, but I do not kick off like you do. I just have to live with it.
Wellington says
I’m offended by any Muslim symbol, especially in America. No exceptions because Islam is a supremacist, intolerant, totalitarian ideology which could never have created the United States of America and why any practicing Muslim in America is a parasite.
Larry_Mondello says
Sounds rather unconstitutional. Time for a lawsuit against the city.
CogitoErgoSum says
First they whine and complain. Then they harass and vandalize. Then they openly burn and loot. Then they assault and beat. Then the rapes, torture and killings begin. The different phases depend upon how large they are in numbers as time goes by but in the end they will fight and they will kill. It’s all coming and they will give us no choice other than to fight or to submit. So far we are choosing to submit … and that will make the fighting, when it comes, all the worse.
Wellington says
Succinctly stated, accurately stated and even magnificently stated.
James Lincoln says
Very strongly seconded.
gravenimage says
Exactly, CogitoErgoSum.

I have a little dreidel,
I made it out of glass,
And when it’s dry and ready,
I’ll stick it up your ass!
bagsgroove says
That would be great ! But they probably would like it.
Ernie says
🙂 , Thank you Elderly Zionist , you bring a much needed smile to my face today ! You’re great !

bagsgroove says
Islam came to the west and will die in the west. And guess what, no more muslims !
Canuckguy NB says
Troy, why would they leave, they got the pandering infidels at their feet.
Jerry Glenn says
Maine surges in the national Islamopandering derby.
James Lincoln says
Yes, Jerry.
And Democrat Maine Gov. Janet Mills is ecstatic.
OLD GUY says
Hey if I complain about the muslim mosque will they remove it. Or does only complaints from muslims count? Oh I for got I don’t like the tree in my neighbors yard it drops leaves in my yard, will you make him remove it?
arthur facteau says
Shameful. And to think, this is just 2 simple bus rides away from me, and I actually used to live in that town, about 15 years ago. The people that live there ought to be seriously ashamed of themselves. I have no doubt that there are more then a few of them that are pretty ticked off about it though.
brenrod says
And they like to pretend it’s not a religious war

Maine: Star of David removed from town’s holiday light display after Muslim complaints
………………………………..
Just appalling appeasement of barbarism by the town of Westbrook. What other demands of Islam will they bow to? Christmas decorations are also Haram…
By the way, San Francisco has both Christmas tree and Menora lighting ceremonies:
