New Jersey’s First Islamic City: Muslim Politicians Seize Power in Paterson, Declare It ‘The Capital of Palestine in America,’......

......Raise Islamic Flags, and Advance Sharia
A shocking transformation is unfolding in Paterson, New Jersey, where local officials are rapidly reshaping the city into an Islamic stronghold. Once a beacon of American industry and blue-collar resilience, Paterson has become a case study in how unchecked Islamic immigration, demographic shifts, and political pandering can erode a city’s original identity.

Islamic Officials, Islamic Agenda​

Muslim elected leaders with deep ties to radical Islamic organizations are prioritizing Islamic identity over American values, steering Paterson away from its historical roots. Every policy change, symbolic gesture, and political appointment moves the city closer to becoming an Islamic enclave.

Hilal Lighting Ceremony: A Symbol of Islamic Dominance​

The latest development? The Hilal Lighting Ceremony, a city-endorsed event marking Ramadan, held in the heart of “Little Palestine”—Palestine Way. This was no mere religious event but a thinly veiled political rally for Palestinian nationalism.

Officially renamed in 2022, Palestine Way cements Paterson’s transformation into a de facto Palestinian enclave, complete with flags, street signs, and businesses mirroring the very nations many residents supposedly fled. The area is home to an estimated 15,000 Arabs, dominated by Palestinian presence. Main Street, now a mile-and-a-half-long strip lined with Palestinian flags, Arabic signs, and halal restaurants, is more than cultural representation—it is a territorial claim.

"Because of our unity, we have three Muslim councilmembers sitting on the council at the same time. And because of our unity, one of our brothers, who was the councilman of the Sixth Ward, is now representing us in the 35th legislative district." — Councilman Shahin Khalique

The Islamic invasion is something I am thinking will be what pushes my husband and I to leave this country. I’m sure many people will plan the same. It’s a matter of knowing when to leave before it’s too late.

There is no place to go on Earth to escape the satanic scourge that is islam, except Israel.

Unless we die first, we will be persecuted or Raptured, even here in the U.S.

If hard persecution comes, so be it. I'll likely be one of the first to die here, and I'll see you guys as your turn comes
I won't pay jizya, won't go the dhimmi route, no plans to flee (where would I go), and converting, even if at the point of death, is NOT AN OPTION.

It's up here too Cheeky. It's over in Britain, Australia, New Zealand, Sweden, Denmark, Germany. Anywhere on earth you might try to escape, they have arrived and are creating a beachhead for invasion. Except China, they have them but they persecute them and put them in slave labour camps. Not exactly a solution. Oh and Poland where they use fire hoses, barbed wire fences and armed officers to keep them out.

Interestingly, in my studies over the past couple of days in the book of Habakkuk, I was struck by the similarities to our day. Back then it was the Chaldeans, a Semitic people originally from the area we know now as Iraq and Northern Saudi Arabia, fierce and with no compassion, who were taking over the known world. Today it is their descendants.

Quoting from the Jewish Publication Society (JPS) translation, Habakkuk 1:6-11 ...

"6 For, lo, I raise up the Chaldeans,​

That bitter and impetuous nation,​

That march through the breadth of the earth,​

To possess dwelling-places that are not theirs.​

7 They are terrible and dreadful;​

Their law and their majesty proceed from themselves.​

8 Their horses also are swifter than leopards,​

And are more fierce than the wolves of the desert;​

And their horsemen spread themselves;​

Yea, their horsemen come from far,​

They fly as a vulture that hasteth to devour.​

9 They come all of them for violence;​

Their faces are set eagerly as the east wind;​

And they gather captives as the sand.​

10 And they scoff at kings,​

And princes are a derision unto them;​

They deride every stronghold,​

For they heap up earth, and take it.​

11 Then their spirit doth pass over and transgress,​

And they become guilty:​

Even they who impute their might unto their god.​

Note that God is the one who raised up this fierce people of a false god, who believed their strength came from their "god"! The prophet asks the true God how can He allow this, how can He who loves righteousness and will not accept wickedness allow unrighteousness and wickedness to prevail? In chapter 2, God answers ... an answer I believe points to the end times.

2 And the LORD answered me, and said:​

‘Write the vision, and make it plain upon tablets,​

That a man may read it swiftly.​

3 For the vision is yet for the appointed time,​

And it declareth of the end, and doth not lie;​

Though it tarry, wait for it;​

Because it will surely come, it will not delay.’ (Habakkuk 2:2-3 JPS)​

God first tells Habakkuk to record what is happening and then tells him why. He says that it is for another time, an "appointed time" and says it "declares the end." And then the instruction is given that "though it tarries, wait for it; because it will surely come, it will not delay." Another translation renders verse 3 in this way:

"For the revelation awaits an appointed time; it speaks of the end and will not prove false. Though it linger, wait for it; it will certainly come and will not delay."​

In other words, at the moment God has appointed for it, it WILL occur. And what time is that? The verse says it plainly: the end time.

So, I believe that as God was using the Chaldeans to correct Israel, and indeed many other nations, He gave a revelation to Habakkuk that what was happening would also, in some way, paint a picture of events at the end of history ... a horde of people from the heart of Arabia moving to take control of all of the nations of the earth, and being a major threat to the Jews (Habakkuk lived in Judea, in the final days of that nation before the Babylonians conquered it and destroyed Jerusalem.)

Islam began about 1500 years ago when a demon appeared to an illiterate orphan of the Quraish tribe, who lived in an area out of which the Chaldeans had arisen hundreds of years before, and gave him a message from his tribe's chief deity, the moon god, who was called al ilah ... a title which was corrupted into the name Allah in pre-Islamic times. I believe that it is critical to understand that while Satan spawned Islam, God permitted it. After all, the greatest Bible truth is that God is in absolute control of everything and everyone. He reigns supreme over Heaven and earth. Absolutely nothing happens unless God causes it or allows it.

So why did God permit Islam? I do not pretend to have the faintest clue. I have some ideas, but they're just mine. The one thing I know for sure is that God definitely had a purpose. So I rest in that. And I rest also in the sure knowledge that God is in control and that everything WILL occur in His time and according to His perfect plan.

I note that the prophet here --although being, as we can read in his words, in agony of heart with fear-- nevertheless stood in faith. And like him, I can boldly stand, testifying to the following: "Though the fig-tree shall not blossom, neither shall fruit be in the vines; the labour of the olive shall fail, and the fields shall yield no food; the flock shall be cut off from the fold, and there shall be no herd in the stalls; yet I will rejoice in the LORD, I will exult in the God of my salvation. God, the Lord, is my strength, and He maketh my feet like hinds’ feet, and He maketh me to walk upon my high places." (Habakkuk 3:17-19 JPS)

God's certain, unfailing, unshakable promises are for ALL of us.

. Except China,

North Korea is also a viable option

Islam will continue to move their hate and violent intent across the planet..........BUT...........the King of Kings and Lord of Lords rules over the entire time/space/matter of creation. Their movement will run short and it will have no place in the MK and beyond.

Too bad Israel isn’t really an option unless you are a Jew by blood or are incredibly wealthy to start a business there. I looked into several years ago after visiting.

I immediately thought, hey I know prophecy and this might be the safest place on Earth to be until I die or the rapture comes. Once I saw the requirements I knew the option closed.

A long time ago I investigated residency in Canada because the USA had become too liberal for me. Needless to say, I quickly learned that liberalism in Canada was way ahead of liberalism in the USA.

That's why I don't leave California (little Sodom and Gomorrah).
The little light in this dark State comes from believers in Jesus living here who are indwelt by The Holy Spirit. And I think God has us here for the purpose of helping those in the dark to be drawn to the light to come to know Jesus and get saved, and get out of the darkness.
The darker things get we know time is getting much shorter, and the light that restrains will be removed, and for those left behind will face God's judgements and they will have to choose whether to spend eternity in complete darkness, or eternity in the Living Light of Jesus.

I’ve noticed the Trump admin has put forth a proposal to outlaw Sharia in the US in early January. Now all of the sudden we have Muslims carving out towns to establish Sharia law in.

AMEN! And that is how I feel too, even coming from my corner of the world.

We are here, for a reason and a season. To spread the gospel light when and where we can. Be salt and light.

Till He takes us home by the undertaker or the uppertaker!

Onward Christian Soldiers, armour on, rooted and grounded in the Word of God, dealing with our "momentary light afflictions" that will yield an eternal weight of glory!

My then-husband and I considered retiring in Israel, specifically Eilat. We had to assume we wouldn't be able to work because foreigners, and would need to come back to the US at least once a year to see family, etc. Plus always have open tickets in-hand if Israel ordered all foreigners out. Although with his partial Jewish ancestry, he could have likely stayed.

Financially, we couldn't swing it because of the annual (or potentially more frequent) round trip, especially if a trip(s) was/were short-notice, especially during holidays.
There were some other considerations that tilted the scales to "no," as well.

We likely would have started a dive business if we had decided to retire there, but that could have prevented the necessary trip(s) to the US.

That’s understandable. I can’t imagine how much the plane tickets would be now if you did live there and had to fly back.
