Boston Sued For Booting Christian Flag, While Allowing Islamic Symbols

This was predictable. The Boston transit authority imposed a Geller ban on all political and issue-related ads after I submitted an anti-jihad ad campaign (in response to an ugly Jew-hating jihad ad campaign running on Boston transit), I knew then Boston was lost.

Boston Sued For Booting Christian Flag, While Allowing Islamic Symbols

By Jake Dima Daily Caller, July 15, 2019:

The city of Boston is facing a federal lawsuit after officials refused to allow a Christian flag to be flown at city hall.

Camp Constitution, a Judeo-Christian advocacy group, requested that the city of Boston fly the flag back in September of 2017 and again in 2018 as part of Constitution Day. The city refused, despite approving 248 other flags, according to a Fox News report.

“The city’s application policy refers to the flagpoles as a ‘public forum’ open to ‘all applicants,”’ Shurtleff said in a statement, “City officials have never denied the ‘messages’ communicated by Boston Pride and the pink and blue ‘transgender’ flag, and even the flags of Communist China and Cuba, but will not allow the civic and historical Christian message of Camp Constitution.

Boston has allowed the pride flag, Turkish flag, communist Chinese flag and Cuban flag — among others — to fly high and proud above city hall. Their reason for disallowing Camp Constitution’s Christian flag: no non-secular flags permitted, the lawsuit filed by the group says.

However, the Turkish flag is not secular. Turkey is one of 21 different nations with an Islamic symbol on their flag.

The Islamic crest represents the “new moon of Islam” — an important tenant in Muslim faith, The Guardian reports.

The Vatican flag, a symbol of the Catholic papacy, has also gotten the boot from Boston when they wanted to fly their colors.

Nevertheless, the City aims to create a society of “inclusion” and “respect,” their website says.

But, Camp Constitution doesn’t feel very included or respected in their plight.

“Censoring religious viewpoints in a public forum where secular viewpoints are permitted violates the First Amendment,” said Liberty Counsel’s Founder and Chairman Mat Staver said in a statement. “Boston city officials may not ban the Christian flag as part of a privately-sponsored event when they allow any other flag by numerous private organizations. It’s time for the court to stop the city’s unconstitutional censorship,” he added.

Not just Muslims. LGBTQ “leadership” has also infiltrated every level of government, and is fast turning more and more pockets of America into one big Greenwich Village, San Francisco and Fire Island. Schools have become nothing more than recruitment centers for NAMBLA, to turn our children into little perverts, Sodomites and even surgically-altered freaks. The “rainbow flag” is basically a declaration of war on the pillars of Western civilization, not to mention on the Judeo-Christian moral structure (not unlike the demonstration in Colorado where one of the “open borders” traitors brought down an American flag and put up a Mexican flag in its place). As well as signifying a wholesale power grab. When an LGBTQ “leader” says something like “Gays are here to stay,” that is basically a declaration of “we will take over and dominate and rule over you” – just as Muslims openly proclaim to their own what they intend for all of us. Both (inter)sections are proxies and active participants in the Left’s war against America and Western civilization.

Boston is only one city of numerous others pandering to Islam shall one day deny one’s freedom of religion to all non-Muslim faiths. If a Christian or a Jew; one will, dare not demonstrate one’s religious convictions or adorn a symbol representing one’s beliefs, whether a Crucifix or the Star of David. The coming of the Neo-Fascist-Islamic accord via the Democratic-Islamic Party has rooted deeply within the Republic’s politics of treason and totalitarianism. The flag issue is a precursor to the continuous undermining of America’s Judeo-Christian principles and eventually our Constitutional Rights.

And Boston is only one city of numerous others that not only pander to Islam but also pander to LGBTQ “leadership.” We are seeing the devastating consequences for many families trying to raise their children right, only to be butted into by “authorities” acting solely on orders from LGBTQ supremacists. The “rainbow flag” is as much a weapon as the other flags being used by the Left as weapons against us.

Amen, Patriotic American; the squeaky wheels get the oil; it has always been thus, but it is worsening every day. The Gay movement, as you mentioned, the LGBTQ Supremacists (well said), have a hold on the so-called authorities while straight, family orientated people’s views are marginalized, especially by the educators. The feckin’ rainbow flag is everywhere; however, no one would dare burn that rag. Meanwhile vilifying the Stars and Stripes or setting it aflame by the Leftists of all orientations is deemed a legitimate action.

Honestly, just stand up and walk out.

When only Muslims show up to events where such bigotry is promoted, they’ll get the message.

Hold our own celebrations and exclude them and proclaim how traumatized you feel because of the bigotry that exists by favoring Islam.

The city of Boston is extremely liberal, as most people probably know. Ayanna Pressley was a do-nothing Boston City Councillor, and now she does the city proud as a do-nothing US Rep. Boston doesn’t want to “OFFEND” anyone with a Christian flag, , but they proudly spew anti-Christian hate with venom……

Important news indeed. Thank God for FOX and for Ms. Geller and her team.
Shame on Boston for excluding the Christian Flag while accepting so many other flags that clearly promote their agenda and ideology.
This was not well done. He who holds memories will remember, when their time of need arises, and it does for all of us. Do not ask for help from Him whom you have shunned.
