I remember reading somewhere that this building is historically significant because it's the only building in NJ to have been at various times a synagogue, church and mosque. A cool testament to the cultural diversity of Jersey City!!! (I can't find the reference now but if I do I'll post it.)
If I had seen what you described, I would have just assumed it was to get rid of urine outside the building, human, canine or feline. To the poster whose neighbor uses bleach to get rid of cats, he's barking up the wrong tree... bleach attracts cats. I have several indoor cats and they RUN toward the bleach when I use it, rolling around on the bathroom floor just after cleaning it and thoroughly enjoying the fumes. I've never been able to figure out why but googling has revealed it to be quite a common phenomenon.

Actually, urine contains ammonia, which is why you shouldn't clean a toilet with bleach.

Trust me, I'm a dick. With that said, it would have been nice if you added the facts you just stated in your original post, as the vagueness of the OP made me think you were wondering if you were witnessing something shady going on. Wouldn't put it past some of the people who post on here to ask what they should do when something (possibly) illegal is going on, as was the case with the people who live next to the noisy neighbors that have loud parties in their backyard in the wee hours of the morning. "What should I do?" Uhh, call the cops maybe...

Well, congrats, you do sound like a dick. I didn't call the cops because the man was FROM THE MOSQUE! He entered the building when he was done pouring the bleach. I never thought it was an act of terrorism....I simply was wondering why someone would do this. I agree with the above person that jclist always takes things to an level of ridiculousness.

Honestly. If there is a bigger collection of idiots anywhere other than this site, I don't know of it.  It is a terrorist plot! He is trying to foment chaos by removing where dogs have marked their territory. Enraged, they will rend the flesh from our bones!Actually, there's a guy that has been doing that along the wall near the PATH entrance for years--pouring bleach to remove the human urine. For some reason, idiots like to pee there. Why, I do not know. Chlorine is in our drinking water. In our swimming pools. OMG, we cannot allow muslims to poison our swimming pools! LOL. Now, if he then whipped out a bottle of ammonia, hit the deck!

The bizarre thing about the downtown mosque on Grove Street, is that it is actually located in a Synagogue!
Anyone know the story there? Robin.

Going back to the OP, I interpreted it as: 'man is dumping what appears to be bleach around a mosque and several people seemed very concerned by this, and so much so that I posted about it on jclist.' Maybe I read too much into it and the OP was just wondering why somebody would pour bleach around a building, but if the OP thought something fishy was going on (which is how I interpreted it), then coming to jclist over the cops isn't very bright.

For what it's worth:
I occasionally pour bleach in the gutter outside my house. When the pollen from the trees ends up in a rain puddle and bakes in the sun for a couple days, it stinks to high heaven as it rots. The bleach kills the fermenting bacteria. My next door neighbor sprays bleach around the outside of his house because he says it keeps the cats away. Bleach might deter dogs from choosing to pee there and it certainly kills the odor from the urine. Honestly. If there is a bigger collection of idiots anywhere other than this site, I don't know of it.

Just because it's in a bleach bottle doesn't mean it's bleach... And just because someone is doing something in front of a mosque, doesn't mean it's sinister or is part of a "special" ritual. People go to different mosques, also, for the same reason people attend different churches or synagogues. There are varied types of congregations and imams (like a priest). Every mosque is not the same and takes different approaches in its ministry and internal politics and administration.

There is a mosque downtown, besides the one in front of County prep? Then why do people come from downtown to the mosque on west side?

Just sayin'. If the OP and several people were that concerned about bleach being poured around the perimeter of the mosque, but didn't ask the guy what he was doing, then someone should have called JCPD and let them sort out what was going on. It's not like JCPD has anything better going on at 1pm anyway. Just because it's in a bleach bottle doesn't mean it's bleach...

Bleach is toxic. I have no idea how much or how little was being poured, but I would wonder why as well. No one said to call the CIA. Just the local police. Once again, JC List takes it to the next level of ridiculousness. It's illegal to pour things like that into the street which goes into the storm drains, which drains to the river/waterways. I wouldn't care if it was a mosque or a candy store. I'd still be concerned why and how often this person does this.

Yes, let's all call the CIA regarding a bleach bottle outside a mosque.
At least they are an ant-free mosque now.

I use vinegar as a natural way to kill the weeds and clean the sidewalk when it's summer and smells of dog piss. The cheap vinegar bottles can look like a bleach bottle.

Yes. It means that if a crime were about to take place/person was in the act of committing an act of terrorism, we'd be screwed. Instead of calling the cops and letting them figure out if what this guy was doing was concern-worthy, numerous people did nothing and you thought it wiser to ask our opinion on jclist? Honestly, I'm really trying not to be a dick, but why wouldn't you call the cops and see what they had to say about this matter? At the very least, they would have sent a car to figure out what the guy was doing.

I am curious...I saw a man pouring straight bleach around the perimeter of the mosque on Grove Street this afternoon around 1pm. He grabbed glances from many who were sitting outside Beachwood Cafe or passing by. Anyone know what this means?
