• Religious-Based Law Enforcement Comes to NYC

    From BTR1701@3:633/10 to All on Wed Sep 16 22:16:40 2026
    The police openly admit, on camera, that there's now two sets of rules in New York City: one for Muslims and another for everyone else.

    Replace Mamdani with a Roman Catholic mayor who routinely leads Catholic Mass in City Hall or shows up at the workplace to lead subordinates in the Lord's Prayer as Mamdani did with transportation workers.

    How long do you think it would take the ACLU to file a lawsuit over it, and
    how long do you think it would take before a federal judge would issue an injunction?

    There's no possible way you can reconcile Mamdani's behavior with all the
    legal prohibitions that have been placed on Christians over the years with regard to their religious behavior in government spaces.

    Why is it okay for Mamdani to have an imam lead a crowd in an Iftar prayer in City Hall but a high school valedictorian in Oklahoma can't legally thank
    Jesus during her school graduation speech?

    And now we have the NYPD openly admitting on camera that parking laws are suspended for Muslims during salah. There are now two sets of laws for drivers in NYC: one for Muslims, the other for everyone else. Imagine if a Christian mayor had implemented a Christians-only exemption from the city's parking regulations.

    The same crowd that loses their minds over a Christmas tree in a courthouse suddenly goes radio silent when City Hall turns into a mosque during Ramadan. Adorable when it's a minaret instead of a cross and a wailing dirge blasted
    out into the streets on loudspeakers five times a day instead of ringing bells in a church. It's not illegal religious entanglement with government. It's
    just 'diversity' right?

    But go ahead and tell me-- as leftist talking heads have been doing since the communist was elected-- that there's no violation of separation of church and state under Mamdani. I like a good joke.

    I warned people on 9/12/2001. Deport all Muslims. Nobody listened. They
    called me all kinds of names.
    Michelle Bachman also tried to warn us and everyone shouted her down, including the Republicans.

    Good. This is your argument in the other thread about the free exercise
    clause being superior to all statutory law.

    Let's say a Jew failed to move his car before the beginning of Sabbath
    and violated a parking restriction. Per your argument, his vehicle
    cannot be ticketed nor towed because religion.

    There are now two sets of laws for drivers
    in NYC: one for Muslims, the other for everyone else.

    That's an equal protection argument, not a free exercise clause
    argument.

    mayor had implemented a Christians-only exemption from the city's parking >regulations.

    You're arguing it's ok if laws wouldn't be enforced because Catholic if
    those laws aren't being enforced because Muslim.

    You are arguing that religion is the privilege to be exempt from law enforcement. I don't believe that was what Madison intended.

    It's an immoral argument.

    Why aren't these things being challenged in the courts? Surely that's
    the correct place to sort things out, unless we prefer to seethe and
    just turf the offending politician out at the next election. The
    arguments are clear and compelling and you've articulating them well so
    now we just need someone whose concerned who has a few dollars to mount
    a test case.
