Read the original article by CBS News or read just the key points below

  1. “Church signs often display innocuous messages such as “God answers knee mail.” But a small Presbyterian church in North Carolina is drawing criticism for its provocative signs, including one this week that reads “19 Muslim immigrants killed 2977 Americans, Sept. 11, 2001.”
  2. “The church has also posted a sign in support of President Trump and one that asked residents to examine their positions on House Bill 2, and asked: “Who is your God?”
  3.  “Lakeside Presbyterian has an “About Our Signs” section on its website defending the displays. “We don’t hate anyone. We do want to speak the Truth, and feel that very few are willing to do so in this age of political correctness,”
  4. “I have never been to this church, and I will never go,” one commenter wrote on the church’s Facebook page. “Every time I drive by there lately they have signs that I find to be hateful and discriminatory.”
  5. “Pastor Joseph Alghrary did not respond to a phone message from The Associated Press on Friday.”
