Mayor Bloomberg... Read History

Mayor Bloomberg of New York City has been an enigma to every freedom-loving American patriot. Using this unprecedented American freedom, he built a large empire and then used his vast wealth to get elected and then re-elected as mayor of America’s financial capital—New York City. So far, so good! After all, this is part of the American dream…right?

Yet his behavior, bias, and glaring prejudice in the past few years has raised eyebrows in some circles and made others downright angry.

Mayor Bloomberg whole-heartedly supported the Cordoba Center. This Islamic indoctrination and propaganda center is to be built at the hallowed ground where Muslims killed nearly 3,000 innocent Americans on September 11, 2001.

However, he supports the ban of peace-loving Christian churches who are renting public schools for worship on the weekends—when the schools are unused.  The Board of Education has said this “will protect the minds of impressionable youth.” (see “Disorderly Prayers”, World Magazine, January 12th).  

On Thursday, January 5, Mayor Bloomberg’s police arrested pastors and Christians who were peacefully singing and praying outside of the New York City Law Department, protesting the city’s decision to toss them out of school buildings they have been meeting in for years. These are congregations in poorer neighborhoods who cannot afford expensive buildings in New York City.

Among those arrested by Mayor Bloomberg’s police were a New York City Councilman and pastor Fernando Cabrera, Pastor Bill Devlin, and five others on charges of “criminal trespassing.”

Then, on Thursday, January 12th, 200 hundred people gathered in the rain outside a Bronx public school where Mayor Bloomberg gave his State of the City address. After this speech, another 43 pastors and Christians were arrested on charges of “disorderly conduct” for kneeling to pray and singing songs.

It is baffling to so many of us who love America that the mayor of its financial capital would be so pro-Islamic and yet would not come to the aid of Christian Americans living in his city.

Some time ago I published an article entitled Islamophilia”. In it, I explain the blind spot secular media and politicians have as they fall all over themselves to accommodate Islamic extremism while persecuting and mocking peaceful Christians in a Christian nation. This can only lead to the demise of Western civilization as we know it.

I, for one, often wonder if these folks have ever read the history of Islamic expansionism. If so, are they so blind or so arrogant or both to think that this type of history will not repeat itself and our destruction from within could not be far off?

I would think this would be big news. Why haven't I seen this in the media?

Why this has not been in the media? They are complicit with Bloomberg and his ilk; the "hate America first" crowd. What they really hate is the freedom and peace that comes only through the saving grace of Jesus. The liberal elites will embrace ANYTHING except Jesus.

I pray that they will awaken from their trance before they truth is thrust hard upon them.

As the wife of a church planter who has gratefully been able to use public school buildings in our start-ups, this deeply saddens me. It brought tears to my eyes as I thought about these precious congregations that are working hard to build the Kingdom, being "evicted" by this insane court action. All I can say is that God will make a way....but it is still so sad!! I did hear this story on the news once yesterday....I too wondered why this story wasn't getting more play.

Scripture tells us that we will be persecuted for our beliefs. Scripture also assures us that evil will be defeated in the end. Pray often, sincerely and strongly, that God will choose to save those who oppress us.

Thanks, Michael. I will do what I can to share this information with my fellow Christians. Keep up the good work. Chaplain Steve Brown.

My problem with this is a few things. 1) we have the right to assemble peacefully and it appears that right is taken away depending what religion you are. 2) why was Muslims and for that matter Occupied wall street, whom by the way has filth that is costing the tax payers money, not being arrested and removed?
Instead Mr. Bloomburg said he welcomed them....
Well why does he not extend this same freedom to Christians?
This country is in a spiritual battle for it's very soul. We have a person seeking unpresident power and appearently no one with the guts to impeach him.
Yes Prayer is needed for God raises up leaders and we, as Christians, need to fall on our face and repent for this nation and ask our Father to send a GODLY LEADER to enforce a nation founded on His laws and lead us back to ONE NATION UNDER GOD.
For those who do not like this country, the great things about it is, the door you came threw, swings the other way to let you leave what you want to change and despise so much.

Isn't it New York City where the Muslims pray in the street and stop traffic by doing so? If so, why is that being allowed?

The Images you may have seen in an e-mail are supposed to be from and Annual Parade held there every year????? (I am not 100% sure of this)
Yet it still leaves us to ask the question, what would happen if a Christian group did this, seeing how their rights was just trampled all over?
Who pays for the beefed up security for this parade? Why are they given special privileges?
Do they have the proper permits which have been requested of other groups such as (tea Party?)
This same question can be asked of the Occupied wall street people too..
It appears it souly depends on whom you represent..God isn't the problem.(as their is so many).JESUS is the problem and this we are told by the KING HIMSELF.".remember the world hated Me first, but be of good cheer for I have overcome it..."

Prepare for battle. The USA was the final place in time for earthly justice.
The world has dangled by a thread, but the USA was always the shinning city that inspired the world. Those days have passed. Arm yourself with the Blood of Christ. Prepare for persecution, prepare for incarceration and eventually execution. The mark is near and will more than likely be associated with Obamacare at first. Christians will soon be seen as lunatics for resisting the mark. Our best days as a nation are in the history books. Now its time to stick to your convictions,
And hold onto Christ with both hands and continue to beg him for the strength to never let go of him. Christ is King

I find it ironic that when white police officers arrested black Civil Rights protestors for kneeling, praying and singing because they were denied equal access to public accommodations in the 1960s, the media covered it extensively and there was national protest and outrage, and rightly so. The New York City police are violating four of the five rights guranteed to this group of Christians by the first amendment. The media is not taking advantage of the fifth right, and they are not doing their job.

These Specific happenings in New York, the City of Hillary Clinton. presently with Bloomberg as its Mayor is not surprising, it is bound to become more notorious with time, notorious as the " Babylonian Harlot" with its "Cup of fornication" revealed in the Biblical revelations, New York being one of the three division(Spiritual) of the Mystery babylon, one of the three, Spiritual daughters, of the great Harlot city. Follow/Trace the terrorist attack to other two main cities in the world, which will reveal the full Mystery of "The Mystery Babylon " who sits across(influences) the seven continents of the world.

Jesus said 'pray for those who persecute you'. if they do not repent it is their problem.In the meanwhile stay strong in the Lord and the power of his might.

Wake up, Mayor Bloomberg! The Islamists are merely pretending to be peaceful Muslims - they're only Using you! Wake up before its too Late!

I had heard this day was coming, and here it is. I agree with comments already posted, demon powers evidently taking control of NYC through their avowed (human) henchmen as placed into positions of authority for systematically moving against and eradicating anything and everything of God. As a test case for the government, if free Christian expression can be 'lawfully' eliminated in NYC, this level of governmental control and oppression may become the new normal for the rest of the country.

Isn't Mayor Bloomberg Jewish? Doesn't he
know how much Islamafaascists hate the Jews and Israel as well as Christians? That they say they should tear off our arms and legs before they kill us? Is it fear because they are so violent and murderous? Why? Why don't we just take care of business, make them obey the same laws we do. If they are allowed to have their prayer times at school, why can't our kids? WHy can't the churches rent the space as other groups do? But Islamafascists get to pray through the day in school....attending with Christians and Jews whom they loathe and wish to destroy? What is up with that, and they kick the Christians out of the schools. THe left wingnuts in the Supreme Court trminated the Lord's prayer each morning (I was not a Christian when I attended school, but I did not get offended by the Lords prayer--must be some kind of satanic issue, right?) We Christians don't drive planes into civilian buildings, don't rape little girls as a religious ceremony, sometimes killing them....No, lets stop fearing them, and stand up to them. If they have a fit, treat them as their religion calls for for disobedience...

Mayor Bloomberg is an arrogant and pompous blowhard who thinks he has earned the right to pontificate to the rest of the "masses". How come "Mr. Tough Guy" didn't order the cops to remove the Occupiers in Wall Street? I know as Christians we should pray for people like him.......I find that a real challenge right now.

This sort of thing is happening all around the world. It is so good, therefore to read of Christians in minority groups who are subject to daily persecution, growing in their Faith and bringing so many others with them. The western world seems to be hell bent on self destruction or is this a form of mass hypnosis.

Thanks for the news Michal, Our news media should be on top of these things.
Keep up the good work!
January 17, 2012 | Unregistered CommenterLoris Deaton
Thank you Michael for keeping us informed, otherwise I would not have known to pray for this deeply
disturbing matter.It's so hard to believe this is happening in New York only 10 years after 9/11. How soon we forget!
