Pro-Palestinian Protestors Disrupt Easter Service

It appears that Jihadist sympathizers cannot leave people in peace, not even on their most Holy of holidays.  On Saturday night at the St. Patrick's Cathedral in NYC, Pro-Palestinian protestors came into the church during an Easter Vigil service.  They appeared at the alter with a giant banner and began screaming "Free Palestine" as they were escorted out of the church.

This is a blatant act of intimidation and disrespect.  Christians gathered in peace at their house of worship to celebrate one of the holiest days of their faith, only to be disrupted by disrespectful protestors.  This action also illustrates a clear double-standard that exists in our society.  For years, it has long been stressed that Christians must be tolerant of other ideologies such as Islam and LGBTQ that often go against Christian doctrines, yet we're not seeing this same demand being made to those of Islamic communities in the West.  Many in the mainstream news would have quickly called out Christians for being intolerant if Christian protestors were to go into a Mosque during Eid al-Adha or another Islamic Holy Day to protest the unjust persecution and killing of innocent Christians in Islamic nations like Iran, Egypt, or Syria, yet they don't seem as anxious to do so in this situation.  

If Christians in the West were to go into a Mosque and cause a disruption like this, they'd likely be charged with committing a hate crime.  However, in this case, the protestors were only charged with disrupting a religious service, yet another example of our societal double standards.  It's becoming increasingly clear that in our society Jihadists and Leftists are continually demanding tolerance for themselves, but they're clearly not so willing to give some in return.  The reality is that they're among the intolerant, and our refusal to confront this reality is in the words of former Muslim Ayaan Hirsi Ali: Cowardice.
