February 8, 2020Christian Preachers and Muslim Teens
Two Christian preachers showed up in Bay Ridge on Saturday night and are challenged by Muslim teens.
This is such a Brooklyn thing to do.
While they are deep into the conversation, one preacher realized he needsed to get his bag which is on the side, so he didn’t get robbed.
On the Citizen App is a video because someone called the police on the “Man Harassing People“
Why would someone call the police? Look:
At one point, it got a little heated because the Christian guy wanted to talk about the differences between Muslims and Christians.
