The idea of these public displays is to assert presence and dominance, and to intimidate opponents.
“New York’s Penn Station mobbed by anti-Israel agitators who stage mass Muslim prayer,” by Jarryd Jaeger, Post Millennial,
On Monday, hundreds of pro-Palestinian demonstrators descended upon Grand Central Terminal and Penn Station, disrupting two of New York City‘s busiest transportation hubs.
Those who took part in the massive, hours-long protests carried flags, chanted anti-Israel slogans, and at one point even staged a mass prayer, with use of a loudspeaker in the middle of Moynihan Train Hall.
Things kicked off outside Grand Central, with the crowd shutting down a main thoroughfare in front of the iconic building.
“Long live the intifada!” the crowd cheered, before moving inside.
Footage from within shows demonstrators filling up the main concourse, making a ruckus and chanting, “From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free.”
Dozens of officers with the New York Police Department can be seen lining the hall, keeping watch to ensure things didn’t get out of hand.
Over at Penn Station, meanwhile, things were even more chaotic, with hundreds of pro-Palestinian demonstrators evading police barricades to storm in and wreak chaos while commuters simply tried to get on with their day.
In the middle of the protest, attendees took a break to pray, using a sound system to blare the Islamic call to prayer….

The First Anebdment does not protect use of demonstrations to impede traffic or interfere with others’ right to access, transit or exit public or private venues.

Islam has the western world running scared. That snowball just keeps rollin down the slope.

“Islam has the western world running scared.”
Primarily, islam has the western establishment running scared and right now the establishments cowardly actions regarding islam have hamstrung the people but I’m beginning to sense a change. A breaking point is coming. What happens after that is anyone’s guess.
tgusa says
Money drives our world today. I’m surprised that arms dealers haven’t figured out that they could make a killing arming non-establishment westerners that have been disarmed.
Ian Senior says
We don’t need this. It’s OK for muslims to spread hate and the police and authorities do nothing preferring to attack counter protesters like Christians. We cannot live like this. Muslims need returning to the Arab Muslim world
Grannya says
Agree, or why not arrest and jail them for the interference, let them learn a lesson they wouldn’t let pro-Israelites get away with doing this.
FYI says
islamic “prayers” have no efficacy anyway because of who allah really is.
allah,according to the koran.cannot be God as he is provably NOT omniscient.a necessary requirement to be a god.
muslims cannot understand that despite centuries of “scholarship”.
muslims “pray” to allah who clearly suffers from a LACK OF OMNISCIENCE which means he cannot be God
islam is for the ignorant and stupid.
BTW “praying” in public ‘to be seen of men” is something allah says HYPOCRITES do koran 4:142.Because you would only do that to be ‘seen of men’ but of course muslims don’t read the koran do they?
Smart people leave islam
The ignorant and stupid either convert to the cult or stay in it.
PRCS says
“because of who allah really is”
Due to Allah being non-exisent.
FYI says
allah being completely different to the Biblical God
allah is from the kaaba and NOT the same.
I once WAS an atheist..it isn’t a mystery to me!
To an atheist allah /Biblical God being completely different is immaterial.
Biblical Prophecy is likely to be just dead words in a book with little relevance;It was when I WAS an atheist.
So look at it this way then:what islam and allah teaches is contrary to what the Biblical God teaches.
It is no mystery to me.

Plus 100 “out of the darkness, into the light.”

“Due to Allah being non-existent.”
You obviously misunderstood what I said.

Sorry to break it to you, somehistory. Well, not really.
Left the darkness of ancient myths and superstitions for the light that only clear, rational thought can provide a long time ago.
somehistory says
Happy…so happy….to let you know ,ps, that my comment about leaving the darkness was not to you. But, you already knew that; or maybe not….those who *see* would have known it.

“There is only one solution ..islam’s dissolution”
With allah- a god who is provably NOT OMNISCIENT,the most obvious FALSE prophet in history{ -even by holy mo’s own admission},and a scripture that is so obviously Scientifically,Theologically,Logically and Historically wrong that it cannot come from any Omniscient God..and it is simply hilarious that islamic ‘scholars’ can’t see the problem with that.
Also islam has no PROPHETIC future and is on the wrong side of Biblically prophecy.Zechariah etc
ISRAEL belongs to the Jews and this is Biblically sanctioned:in fact there is a catastrophe coming for the islamic nations if they try to destroy it..but listen never mind.. ‘allah’ won’t save the muslims.
muslims won’t get it.
islam does not have a prophecy source.. probably due to allah’s AMAZING LACK OF OMNISCIENCE
You may as well shout…
FEE PALATINE..FEE PALATINE..for all the good it will do.

Planning those “protests” doesn’t happen in a vacuum. Various social media platforms are used to co-ordinate them, giving those who could/should prevent/disrupt them the info needed to do so.
Next time, before they arrive: “filthy unbelievers” should bring their dogs to the location and parade them around. How about staging a drag show? Or maybe a few lesbians expressing their love for each other. Perhaps some less than modestly clad kuffar women performing a racy dance routine.
Push back.
PRCS says
Completely overlooked one.
A group of Jews waving Israeli flags right in front of them.

PRCS,
Let’s not forget the Matzo Ball Soup.

Thank you, GE, for sharing that. It’s funny, but serious and Truthful at the same time.
Too bad they won’t listen.
somehistory says
“keeping watch to ensure things didn’t get out of hand.”
More like being able to say they were in control. If the crowd was keeping travelers from moving freely, things were “out of hand.”
These people, the mobs, are not just ‘pro-hamas,’ they are pro-terror, rape, torture, and murder. They are working on behalf of ghouls who rape and murder babies.
Things are only going to get worse. The citizens who are obeying the law, deserve more than they are getting.
And that includes citizens in the South who are being over-run by illegals.
14,000 a day now. How many will join the mobs chanting death to Jews?
How many will join those harassing little kids waiting to see santa?
George says
Ship them back to their country
Simple solution
PRCS says
And if they were born here?
somehistory says
Texas is about to do just that. Three new Laws regarding the hordes of illegals coming over. Arrests and deportations beginning in March.
Dr K says
People need to start playing LOUD BAGPIPE MUSIC over these muslim fuckers whenever they try on this public prayers stunt .
Scatter these cockroaches .
They seem to think they have the whole world scared , let’s see about that !
abu taleb says
Walk a (black) dog in front of praying muslims in a rather close distance. That will nullify the prayer.
Jim says
This seems to 6 me to be an insurrection, and not a mainly peaceful, patriotic protest. Get the FBI, the CIA, the DOJ, the Attorney General, or the great leader of the free world on the case. It is the worst thing since Jan 6. Why are the Democrats not shocked and enraged? Why is it not a threat to OUR DEMOCRACY? Why does Joe not proclaim it to be an INSURRECTION?
