However, an X user, @deniforu posted on Thursday afternoon that the controversial banner has been replaced with a new banner at the mosque.
However, the new banner also has words that Christians consider disrespectful.
It reads: “No diety (sic) is worthy of worship except Allah the Lord of Jesus Christ, Abraham, Jacob, Joseph, Moses, Muhammed, & all prophets”.
Reacting, @NafisatRamses, wrote, “How can you tell Christians that Jesus is a prophet? They don’t like it . Let everyone be and let people believe in what they want to believe in . Don’t force it . Forcing it is an act of intentional provocation”.
Another X user, @iam_arinzona, said, “The urge to start religious war is just burning in their hearts, but they will not succeed. How will they react if they see a banner ……..is a pedophile?? Which is fact.”
