Dozens Of “Extremist Jewish Settlers” Storm Al-Asqa Mosque Courtyard And Perform “Talmudic Rituals” With Police Protection

Tensions between the Jews , especially the “ ultra-orthodox ” /Hasidic/Haredi type groups have become very extreme , to the point of resulting in violence being committed against Christians and Muslims in Israel .
Recently one of such types attempted to burn down a Catholic Church for no clear motivation other than hatred , the infamous massacre of Muslims or no reason other than their existence by the American Jewish terrorist Baruch Goldstein , and one must recall not only the abundance of daily violent attacks and abuse , but other horrible incidents and their consistent defense of such murder @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
Likewise , sometimes this violence even crosses against fellow Jews of a less or non-religious background .
According to ABNA24 News , dozens of “ Extremist Jewish settlers ” did another act of brazen anger as they stormed into the Al-Aqsa mosque courtyards and proceeded , with police protection , to perform “ Talmudic rituals.

The brazen nature of these sects, while not unknown, has been enabled by government policies. While it is understandable that people want to practice their beliefs, often times this comes at the open expense of others, to which one standard is held for others and another for those inflicting or making demands, and this is what makes people very angry. One can see this in New York, where COVID spread rapidly and caused serious problems in these same communities in the US, but many refused to heed requests asked for of the entire public, saying that it was ‘persecution’, when the reality was that it was the actions of said communities that significantly worsened the spread of the virus and its effects, and with no introspection as to the concept that others may have been hurt, but only for what applies to themselves and their particular desires.
It should therefore be a trend to watch that alongside more brazen actions, that a backlash would form against the same people, not just in Israel, but globally, since eventually, even the most patient of men will lose patience given continued mistreatment with no resolution.

shoebat--2020-12-10--…And Here We Are, Back In 2000

…And Here We Are, Back In 2000

Throughout the buildup to this election , I noted repeatedly that the conditions appeared to be setting up for a repeat of an election 2000 type scenario , where President Bush was installed into office not because of a clear win , but due to intervention by the Supreme Court .
I have said consistently that while the chances favored Trump- and not by a lot -that the election because of the combination of rancor , potential abuse , and other elements made the election too close to call until further information came out that would favor one side or @ @ @ @ @ @ @ attempted to be clear that while so far the ‘ consensus ’ is that Biden won and that because of such one must assume that come January he will be recognized as the next president , it is still not technically over for Trump .
So exactly two decades later , the US is in the same position now , except instead of five ( Florida ) counties at stake , it is the results of ( in general ) five states as a part of a lawsuit brought by seventeen states contesting @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Supreme Court , where it appears that it will be the court that has the final say on if Trump remains in office .
President Donald Trump on Wednesday latched on to a longshot Texas lawsuit seeking to overturn a presidential election that handed the White House to Joe Biden .
Legal experts say Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton ’ s effort to contest election results of four key battleground states is all but certain to fail .
But it has drawn support from the Republican attorneys general of 17 other states .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ loses case after improbable case in federal district and appellate courts , the Texas lawsuit offers a major advantage : It goes straight to the top .
Under a special legal avenue unique to states , Paxton filed the case directly with the U.S. Supreme Court , a body Trump has suggested could deliver him the victory that voters did not .
“ This is the big one !
” the president tweeted Wednesday morning , promising to get involved in the case .
The Texas lawsuit takes issue with changes to election @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , Pennsylvania , Michigan and Wisconsin .
Paxton argues those changes were unlawful and call into question Biden ’ s victories in those states .
He is asking the high court to block the critical battlegrounds from participating in the Electoral College .
Though the Supreme Court has a six-member conservative majority , including three justices appointed by Trump himself , it has so far shown no interest in siding with him in the election cases his campaign has lobbed .
On Tuesday , it decisively rejected Pennsylvania Republicans ’ effort to overturn @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a one-sentence order with no dissents .
Legal experts and court watchers expect a similar outcome in the Texas case .
The court has asked for a response from the four battleground states Texas is suing , setting a Thursday deadline , but has given no indication about how it will decide the matter .
( source ) Now I will say that , from a trend perspective , Trump has a weak case , considering his consistent losses in the lower courts in spite of blatantly obvious evidence that more than just @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the ballot boxes in key states .
That said , the election drama is NOT over until it is over .
It would be wrong of me to say that Trump could not win because he still could .
To that , I must add my final point , which is that as I have said before , the real winner of this election is the loser .
This likewise applies if the Supreme Court finds that Biden lost and Trump won .
It does not matter what the party is , but @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in the White House , that is the party that loses long term because that person will be likely forced to deal with extremely hot-button economic and political issues for which there is no desirable solution and because all of the roads lead to pain in some form , whoever ’ s party is in office is going to get blamed for the problems .
There is no way around this .
Whatever happens , remember that the fundamentals are the same in all cases .
Things are not getting better , the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ is going to continue without cessation for now , and that this will eventually lead to serious conflicts , domestically as well as in the world , since problems in the US inevitably have major impacts on the world economic and political situation .
In Trump ’ s case , perhaps the hardest lesson will come for him , for as it seems he is being forced to learn , is that politics and long-standing political plans are bigger than his ego , and one does not always get what one wants .

Throughout the buildup to this election, I noted repeatedly that the conditions appeared to be setting up for a repeat of an election 2000 type scenario, where President Bush was installed into office not because of a clear win, but due to intervention by the Supreme Court. I have said consistently that while the chances favored Trump- and not by a lot -that the election because of the combination of rancor, potential abuse, and other elements made the election too close to call until further information came out that would favor one side or the other. Likewise, I have attempted to be clear that while so far the ‘consensus’ is that Biden won and that because of such one must assume that come January he will be recognized as the next president, it is still not technically over for Trump.
So exactly two decades later, the US is in the same position now, except instead of five (Florida) counties at stake, it is the results of (in general) five states as a part of a lawsuit brought by seventeen states contesting the result of the election to the Supreme Court, where it appears that it will be the court that has the final say on if Trump remains in office.
President Donald Trump on Wednesday latched on to a longshot Texas lawsuit seeking to overturn a presidential election that handed the White House to Joe Biden. Legal experts say Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton’s effort to contest election results of four key battleground states is all but certain to fail. But it has drawn support from the Republican attorneys general of 17 other states. As the president’s legal team loses case after improbable case in federal district and appellate courts, the Texas lawsuit offers a major advantage: It goes straight to the top. Under a special legal avenue unique to states, Paxton filed the case directly with the U.S. Supreme Court, a body Trump has suggested could deliver him the victory that voters did not. “This is the big one!” the president tweeted Wednesday morning, promising to get involved in the case. The Texas lawsuit takes issue with changes to election procedures in four battleground states: Georgia, Pennsylvania, Michigan and Wisconsin. Paxton argues those changes were unlawful and call into question Biden’s victories in those states. He is asking the high court to block the critical battlegrounds from participating in the Electoral College. Though the Supreme Court has a six-member conservative majority, including three justices appointed by Trump himself, it has so far shown no interest in siding with him in the election cases his campaign has lobbed. On Tuesday, it decisively rejected Pennsylvania Republicans’ effort to overturn Biden’s victory there, in a one-sentence order with no dissents. Legal experts and court watchers expect a similar outcome in the Texas case. The court has asked for a response from the four battleground states Texas is suing, setting a Thursday deadline, but has given no indication about how it will decide the matter. (source)
Now I will say that, from a trend perspective, Trump has a weak case, considering his consistent losses in the lower courts in spite of blatantly obvious evidence that more than just a few questionable things took place at the ballot boxes in key states.
That said, the election drama is NOT over until it is over. It would be wrong of me to say that Trump could not win because he still could.
To that, I must add my final point, which is that as I have said before, the real winner of this election is the loser. This likewise applies if the Supreme Court finds that Biden lost and Trump won. It does not matter what the party is, but that whichever party is chosen to sit in the White House, that is the party that loses long term because that person will be likely forced to deal with extremely hot-button economic and political issues for which there is no desirable solution and because all of the roads lead to pain in some form, whoever’s party is in office is going to get blamed for the problems. There is no way around this.
Whatever happens, remember that the fundamentals are the same in all cases. Things are not getting better, the process of extreme politics with economic decline is going to continue without cessation for now, and that this will eventually lead to serious conflicts, domestically as well as in the world, since problems in the US inevitably have major impacts on the world economic and political situation.
In Trump’s case, perhaps the hardest lesson will come for him, for as it seems he is being forced to learn, is that politics and long-standing political plans are bigger than his ego, and one does not always get what one wants.

shoebat--2020-12-11--USCCB Declares That “All Are Welcome” Is No Longer Welcome

For those who have been to many a Catholic parish , the notorious hymn “ All Are Welcome ” may play .
This hymn , while well-meaning in the general sense , causes many problems because in truth , not all people are welcomed into Heaven because of choices .

“ It is all the more important , then , that hymnody selected for the liturgical life of the Church successfully draw out the beauty of the Christian mysteries themselves @ @ @ @ @ @ @ language is used that is out of keeping with the sensibility created by scriptural texts and universal liturgical usage.

The sinner is welcome to be forgiven if he wants it and to change, but sin is not welcome, and those who do not care or would destroy are not welcome because of obvious reasons, lest they choose to change, and for such reasons, all are NOT welcome.
After many years, and in a positive move, the USCCB has declared that certain hymns, because of their ‘questionable’ nature and lyrics are being declared ‘unwelcome’, of which “All Are Welcome” is one of those song.
The doctrine committee of the US bishops’ conference (USCCB) earlier this year produced a guide to evaluating the lyrics of hymns on the basis of their doctrinal content, noting that Vatican II declared sacred music’s purpose to be “the glory of God and the sanctification of the faithful.” “Christian tradition, both Eastern and Western, has from antiquity been acutely aware that hymns and other songs are among the most significant forces in shaping – or misshaping – the religious and theological sensibility of the faithful,” the committee wrote in “Catholic Hymnody at the Service of the Church,” which is dated September 2020. “It is all the more important, then, that hymnody selected for the liturgical life of the Church successfully draw out the beauty of the Christian mysteries themselves.

The U.S. bishops’ doctrine committee provided two general guidelines for determining whether a hymn is doctrinally suitable for liturgical use: whether it conforms to Catholic doctrine, and whether its images and vocabulary appropriately reflect the usage of Scripture and the liturgical prayer of the Church. While hymns needn’t “be composed of doctrinal formulae … It is important to avoid language that could be easily misconstrued in a way that is contrary to Catholic doctrine,” the bishops explained. … Examples of hymns that offend the presentation of Eucharistic doctrine, they said, include “God is Here!

Note instead the replacement songs. Some are contemporary, but many are traditional.
This is a great blessing, and a hopeful sign of a positive trend for the future.
There are a lot of problems in the Church, and one of them has been orthodoxy. There are a lot of people with well-meaning but bad ideas. They have not been dealt with, and the bishops have been very slow to deal with them.
It is a miracle that somebody in the USCCB actually said something about these songs. This is very rare, and a hopeful sign that some people are realizing the need for change.
There is much work to be done. One song really means very little. However, it is also major because major things always come from tiny beginnings no matter what the trend in question may be.
With Christianity being generally resisted or rejected by American society, the churches are going to consolidate and will have to be more serious if they want to survive. There can be no more “all are welcome” but rather, those who care about God are welcome, and they should persevere until the end and through hard times as well as the good ones. This is the general message that is coming and those who are Christians will have to take note of if they want to survive.
So for the future, watch for a trend of increasing orthodoxy in the churches especially in the US and Catholic Church. Likewise, this also will come at the same time of many people becoming or pushing for looser policies and perhaps leaving religions completely. This is going to be expected as a trend, but will ultimately end with persecution but having a strong core for the Church that can withstand serious attacks from the culture and, just as Christ promised to St. Peter, that as She is the Church built by Christ on the Rock of Peter, may have the gates of hell themselves enter into Her but will not prevail over her. This is a great mystery, a great miracle, and has been proven by history over and over and will remain until Our Lord returns at last.

shoebat--2020-12-11--Major Casino Boss Adelson Wants To Build Casinos In Texas

Texas has been going through a lot of changes recently , especially due to the migrant invasion from California- of almost entirely American-born non-Hispanic persons of extreme political persuasions – that as a rat jumping over a shipside having gnawed a hole into the hull and it is now sinking , are scurrying away into Texas .

All I can say to this is: Goodbye, Texas. At least, from what she used to be.
It is bad enough to see the migrant invasion into Texas- the American-born non-Hispanic one I should clearly note -because they are driving most of the change. As the recent election results show, it is not one’s “everyday Jose” who is causing trouble, and in fact it is he who now given that he is voting for the political right in record numbers may actually upend the historic Democrat lock on the Hispanic bloc and help the Republican party shape their message and stance back to the classical position of her being a party for the working man and the Democrats as the party of the ‘elite’ and disconnected. It is the political left, overwhelming dominated by non-hispanic whites and Jews, who is driving the push to the far left by pouring into Texas cities and they trying to remake the city in the same mould of that which they fled from but without regard to how the problems that happened in the places they fled from started.
A casino in Texas, while in theory a “money maker”, would be a final “nail in the coffin” for Texas because casinos are inseparable from crime. This is not to say that all casinos are evil, or people who go to casinos are evil, but that the casino industry in the US has always been directly tied to criminal activities. The famous casinos of Las Vegas, for example, was primarily built and controlled by Jewish criminal interests and their associates such as Morris Dalitz, Gus Greenbaum, “Dandy Phil” Kastel, Meyer Lansky, Morris Rosen, Harry Rothberg, and Benjamin “Bugsy” Siegel. Likewise, one must never overlook the directly overlapping influence of the Sicilian “cosa nostra” families such as the Genoveses, Gambinos, Bonnanos, and other families that began under Salvatore “Lucky” Luciano following has assassination of Salvatore Maranzano as a part of the 1931 Castellammarese War in New York. It was the unholy union of “cosa nostra” and “kosher nostra” that created the casino industry and, to a large extent remains today as owners or involved in them.
This brief history lesson serves as a lesson for today, that regardless of who the ethnicity of a person is- as such is never the matter in question -that the reality of crime and casinos in the US cannot be separated. Above is just the open violence and corruption. This does not speak of the fact the same casinos directly encourage and attract prostitution, drug abuse, alcoholism, money laundering, and ever shade of crime between blue and white.
Adelson is jumping ship because he knows the future. He is most likely going to Texas not because he cares about the people, for while I do not know the man, his personal feelings, or would dare to assume such, it is highly unlikely he is there for charitable reasons save his own. He sees a fresh market, as do all of those involved in the business, they want to exploit, after having exploited, dried up, and left for dead California and possibly Nevada. Indeed, such behavior is more akin to that of a vampire sucking its victims blood for its gain and leaving the remains behind.
But what is Texas to do? With the California domestic migrants bleeding her dry, stressing state functions, and causing social changes- as all changes come from people and not by accident -she may turn to the casino as a possible “economic lifeline” to “create jobs”. It is good for a man to have a job, but such jobs should build up society, not tear it down in the name of profit through obtuse exploitation that eventually leads to collapse and destruction for many.
It will be interesting to see where this goes, but so far as the state of Texas is concerned, the trends do not look good for her, and she just may be on her way to becoming the very state- California -that she has so criticized.

A Cautionary Tale From New York

I just got off from a conversation with an old friend who reached out to me about a situation with a Syrian Moslem refugee family living in the Bronx in their apartment building .
I ’ m going to leave out a lot of details , but hopefully will not detract from the message of it .
To give context , this is a practicing and serious Catholic couple in their late 30s living in an apartment in an economically lower but certainly not the lowest area of a neighborhood in the Bronx .
In their building , a few @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in their early 30s .
They are a man , his wife , and their newborn baby , all from Syria as refugees from the violence .
According to this friend , the wife was attacked while carrying the baby by a crazed neighbor who was screaming anti-Muslim statements at them .
The husband came , but it was such a situation that even he had trouble getting the other person off and away .
My friends had to help pry and get the other family to safety , as well as call @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to press charges .
However , owing to the fact that they are refugees , that no one has talked to them at all in the building , how save for an occasional visit to the mosque they are all alone , and this incident , the only people they will interact with are my friends , and she said they genuinely seem scared of most people and try to stay away from others .
They reached out to me for questions about Islam and Syria and how to best interact with these @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , but that is not the point of the story .
The point of what I am saying goes back years ago to the warnings that Ted , Walid , and I started making at Shoebat.com about the rise of nationalism , racialism , and Islam .
None of us have ever changed our views on Islam save to only deepen those positions we already had .
This is not new at all .
What has changed , however , is how we address the same matters , adjusted for the times and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ developing .
Walid did not become a Christian because he wanted to wave the flag and sing the Star Spangled Banner .
He has done both ( support religion and country ) , but the two are not interdependent .
Likewise , his faith is not contingent on the latter .
Ted is the same way .
He did not oppose a host of moral evils to support PNAC or cheer to the words of “ Mission Accomplished ” , nor does he equivocate Christianity with nationalism .
Likewise , the source from @ @ @ @ @ @ @ by reading Sacred Scripture and Tradition is separate from my desires of the good will for American society or any understanding of national politics .
Yet this is what happened , not by us , but what we found ourselves thrust into .
The people did not care about Islam .
They will cheer for Islam if it means being “ anti-China ” just as much as they cheered for Putin when it meant being “ anti-Obama ” , but rather an excuse in the moment for a particular problem without any philosophical @ @ @ @ @ @ @ its totality .
This is the grave danger , for many people , even well-meaning people who want to do what is good , find themselves drawn by standing against one moral evil to set up the conditions for another .
This is why so much less about Islam has been spoken by us , not to lose the potency of any argument , but rather to emphasize balance where it is not found and from which said unbalance is being used to justify further imbalances .
This story that happened in the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ surely has happened many times , and it is a warning sign to people of good will .
There are people in this world , in this country , who do not care about the good will of others , and who will use one evil to justify their own evils .
What good is being anti-Islam if it means being ‘ pro-genocide ’ ?
It is not a moral improvement , but a substitution of evils that generates the same result , no different that substituting “ 2 + 2 ” for @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 8 / 2 ” .
One may recall how Shoebat.com has written about the ‘ alt-right ’ movement and how the ‘ alt-right ’ , while the ‘ movement ’ itself is dead , is but one vector for the larger trend of nationalism , has spoken about the mass murder of Middle Eastern and African refugees in Europe .
This is not to justify the behavior of too many of such migrants , that tends to the violent and unreasonable , but rather to the fact that the migrants are being used @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , and that both the good and the bad alike will perish in the name of an evil idea just as what happened in Europe last century .
I am not saying this directly will happen in the US at the current time .
However , the fact is that certain trends are real and must not be overlooked , and that the lives of real people are affected .
If the purpose of life is to know , love , and serve God , what is one going to say in answering @ @ @ @ @ @ @ matter whose party won in an election , or how one treated his fellow man and what good one did or did not do for him when he needed it most ?
The meaning of life is the pursuit of the law of God , Who is Love , and of which has perfect mercy and perfect justice perfectly residing in Him .
While Islam is an evil religion , the Moslems are people , and it is the moral thing to help them seek the path to Heaven as one should want @ @ @ @ @ @ @ is a path much bigger , more serious , and more wondrous than any sort of politics or tribalism could ever conceive of , and most importantly , many times , the steps on that path are assisted or hindered by our actions .

I just got off from a conversation with an old friend who reached out to me about a situation with a Syrian Moslem refugee family living in the Bronx in their apartment building.
I’m going to leave out a lot of details, but hopefully will not detract from the message of it. To give context, this is a practicing and serious Catholic couple in their late 30s living in an apartment in an economically lower but certainly not the lowest area of a neighborhood in the Bronx. In their building, a few months ago, a couple moved in in their early 30s. They are a man, his wife, and their newborn baby, all from Syria as refugees from the violence.
According to this friend, the wife was attacked while carrying the baby by a crazed neighbor who was screaming anti-Muslim statements at them. The husband came, but it was such a situation that even he had trouble getting the other person off and away. My friends had to help pry and get the other family to safety, as well as call the police.
The Syrian family refused to press charges. However, owing to the fact that they are refugees, that no one has talked to them at all in the building, how save for an occasional visit to the mosque they are all alone, and this incident, the only people they will interact with are my friends, and she said they genuinely seem scared of most people and try to stay away from others.
They reached out to me for questions about Islam and Syria and how to best interact with these people. I gave them my perspective, but that is not the point of the story.
The point of what I am saying goes back years ago to the warnings that Ted, Walid, and I started making at Shoebat.com about the rise of nationalism, racialism, and Islam. None of us have ever changed our views on Islam save to only deepen those positions we already had. This is not new at all.
What has changed, however, is how we address the same matters, adjusted for the times and because of the extreme dangers we saw developing.
Walid did not become a Christian because he wanted to wave the flag and sing the Star Spangled Banner. He has done both (support religion and country), but the two are not interdependent. Likewise, his faith is not contingent on the latter. Ted is the same way. He did not oppose a host of moral evils to support PNAC or cheer to the words of “Mission Accomplished”, nor does he equivocate Christianity with nationalism. Likewise, the source from which I gather my learning and faith by reading Sacred Scripture and Tradition is separate from my desires of the good will for American society or any understanding of national politics.
Yet this is what happened, not by us, but what we found ourselves thrust into. The people did not care about Islam. They will cheer for Islam if it means being “anti-China” just as much as they cheered for Putin when it meant being “anti-Obama”, but rather an excuse in the moment for a particular problem without any philosophical or moral regard for said position in its totality.
This is the grave danger, for many people, even well-meaning people who want to do what is good, find themselves drawn by standing against one moral evil to set up the conditions for another.

What good is being anti-Islam if it means being ‘pro-genocide’? It is not a moral improvement, but a substitution of evils that generates the same result, no different that substituting “2 + 2” for “5 – 1” or “8 / 2”.
One may recall how Shoebat.com has written about the ‘alt-right’ movement and how the ‘alt-right’, while the ‘movement’ itself is dead, is but one vector for the larger trend of nationalism, has spoken about the mass murder of Middle Eastern and African refugees in Europe. This is not to justify the behavior of too many of such migrants, that tends to the violent and unreasonable, but rather to the fact that the migrants are being used as pawns in a game of geopolitics, and that both the good and the bad alike will perish in the name of an evil idea just as what happened in Europe last century.
I am not saying this directly will happen in the US at the current time. However, the fact is that certain trends are real and must not be overlooked, and that the lives of real people are affected.

Christian Family In North Carolina Puts Up Cross On Their Yard To Celebrate Christmas. Home Owners Association Tells Christian Family: ‘Take Your Cross Down Or Else Pay A Fine.’

A Christian family in North Carolina placed up a cross in front of their home to celebrate Christmas .
The HOA ordered that they remove the cross under the threat of a fine .
A reason for the season or an HOA violation ?
One North Carolina family would ’ ve never thought a cross being used as a Christmas decoration would be a point of contention for their neighborhood .
The Faison family says the cross is a symbol of hope , and they ’ re not taking it down despite what their homeowners association says .
James Faison @ @ @ @ @ @ @ community for five years .
This Christmas , they put up a six-foot cross in their yard .
The HOA then sent the family a letter saying the cross is not considered a Christmas decoration , but for Easter or Passover , so it needed to be removed or pay a $ 100 fine .
When the Faisons questioned the violation , the HOA responded asking for scripture to connect the cross and Christmas .
Despite their confusion , the Faisons provided biblical references to connect Christmas and the cross .
“ I @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and several members of the board are devout Christians and are intimately familiar with the cross being the foundation for which Christianity is based .
The cross represents the death of Jesus Christ who died for our sins so we can have eternal life .
The Christmas season is associated with the birth of the Savior such as nativity scenes would be appropriate representation of the season .
The Board believes that the Bible is very clear on the distinction between these two major events in Christ ’ s life on earth .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ the Easter season , but not as a decoration during the Christmas season .
Unless biblical references can be provided noting the cross as a symbol of the Christmas season for the board to reconsider , the cross is not considered to be a Christmas decoration.

A Christian family in North Carolina placed up a cross in front of their home to celebrate Christmas. The HOA ordered that they remove the cross under the threat of a fine.
According to ABC 7:
A reason for the season or an HOA violation? One North Carolina family would’ve never thought a cross being used as a Christmas decoration would be a point of contention for their neighborhood.
The Faison family says the cross is a symbol of hope, and they’re not taking it down despite what their homeowners association says.
James Faison and his wife have lived in their community for five years. This Christmas, they put up a six-foot cross in their yard.
The HOA then sent the family a letter saying the cross is not considered a Christmas decoration, but for Easter or Passover, so it needed to be removed or pay a $100 fine.
When the Faisons questioned the violation, the HOA responded asking for scripture to connect the cross and Christmas. Despite their confusion, the Faisons provided biblical references to connect Christmas and the cross.
“I did share your response with the Board and several members of the board are devout Christians and are intimately familiar with the cross being the foundation for which Christianity is based. The cross represents the death of Jesus Christ who died for our sins so we can have eternal life. The Christmas season is associated with the birth of the Savior such as nativity scenes would be appropriate representation of the season. The Board believes that the Bible is very clear on the distinction between these two major events in Christ’s life on earth. The cross is appropriate for display during the Easter season, but not as a decoration during the Christmas season. Unless biblical references can be provided noting the cross as a symbol of the Christmas season for the board to reconsider, the cross is not considered to be a Christmas decoration.”
It wasn’t until Eyewitness News contacted the HOA that they responded, saying the cross can stay up, but the case is still under review.
