Footage of the incident at the Mall of America went viral and shows security officers telling the man wearing the green “Jesus Saves” shirt that his shirt was “offending” other shoppers in the mall.
The security would continue to tell the man he either had to remove his shirt or leave the mall. The back of the man’s shirt read “Jesus is the only way” and had the word “coexist” crossed out.
On Saturday, a group of protesters went to the Mall of America in similar Jesus shirts.
Gateway Pundit (h/t Nita) A demonstration took place Saturday at the Mall of America with participants wearing various Jesus shirts. The event was organized in response to a video that surfaced of a man, Paul Shoro, who was asked to remove his “Jesus Saves” shirt or leave the mall on Jan. 7.
Shoro told Alpha News that he and other members of his church were at the mall Saturday to “proclaim the name of the Lord Jesus Christ.”
“They were about to kick me out because of my shirt, because they said it was offensive, then after one hour of argument, the other police came and said I could stay,” he continued. “Today we are here to help people, not to offend anyone, but to tell people about the good news of the Gospel.”
The mall said Shoro received a 24-hour trespassing ban a week prior to the Jan. 7 incident for “soliciting guests.” At the time of the incident, however, he was simply walking around the mall with the shirt on.
Event organizer Luca Jo Groppoli told those who gathered around 12:45 p.m. to disperse throughout the mall and not cause disturbances. “We are gathering at the MOA with our shirts on, this is NOT a protest,” the Facebook eventdescription reads.
The demonstration was met with a mainly positive reaction from mall patrons, with some stopping to take photos and others engaging in discussions with the participants.

I do not see why he should be automatically allowed to preach on private property actually! I do not believe that any religion whatsoever should be promoted in this manner in public, and certainly not on private property if the owner of the property objects.
Religion belongs in places of worship and that applies to any religion with the exception of Islam since that is a cult and not a religion. That should be banned outright.
BareNakedIslam says
He wasn’t preaching to anyone. He was just walking around.

Would the mall cops also be upset if a person was wearing a Red Cross shirt with a red cross on it?
BareNakedIslam says
Excellent question.

Glad he stood his ground and the Mall management saw sense. Muslimes who find free speech offensive should be the ones who leave.

Better yet, they should have worn t-shirts with a picture of Mohammed the pedophile.
LJW says
The Lord’s not future martyrs! Yes, the Last Days are here we are in the Birth Pains.
xenonmann says
would it have been less offensive if it had also read “…but Moses invests…” ? LOL
BareNakedIslam says
NO, not to Muslims.
Daniel Wright says
I think you mean Muhammad, not Moses.
