Anti-mosque protests on the rise, say Muslim advocates

Public protests against three planned mosques have made news in the past week: Former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin joined others in opposing the building of a mosque a few blocks from the World Trade Center site. Hundreds demonstrated against a proposed mosque in a small town in Tennessee (pictured above). And some residents of Temecula, California, are opposing the local Muslim community's plan to build a bigger mosque, saying it could become a hotbed of radical Islam.

Professor Akbar Ahmed, the Ibn Khaldun Chair of Islamic Studies at American University's School of International Service, is not surprised by the recent spate of public protests. He spent last year traveling to more than 100 mosques in 75 U.S. cities with a team of researchers, and concluded that opposition to mosques, including some attacks on them, is on the rise.

I dunno know...when I build a mosque near the WTC where 3000 Americans died from the hands of mooslums, heck, I’m sure my neighbors wouldn’t feel all fuzzy about it either.

[MaxMax]

including some attacks on them, is on the rise.

What the hell did they think was going to happen? Americans are not like the French,
and we have guns.

As I said in another post, has anyone asked why there isnt a Japanese Cultural Center next to the USS Arizona.

If it gets built, I pray someone flies a plane (Drone) into it when empty.

Here's the truth about Islam:

The Legacy of Jihad: Islamic Holy War and the Fate of Non-Muslims (Andrew Bostom)

and

The Suicide of Reason: Radical Islam's Threat to the West (Lee Harris)

Islam is a serial murderer of entire cultures and peoples. This is what Islam has done throughout its entire history. It enslaves, diminishes and impoverishes those whom it does not destroy. For its psychopathic regard and brutal treatment of women alone, it is an abomination. Islam cannot be "reformed" - if that were so, it would cease to be Islam.

Islam IS the enemy. Islam must be destroyed, root and branch.

Love the picture.

[Americanexpat]

They keep talking about attacks against Muslims on the rise, where and when?

[Dem Guard]

About time people take note of what is going on in these Mosques!

[NormsRevenge]

Why would one want to be infected by a plague?

[MaxMax]

Not many but I wonder why the MSM isn't jumping all over this.
Maybe they know it would cause more attacks. Burn them all.

"Sarah Palin's comments again were saying implicitly that mosques are associated with violence and terrorism," Ahmed says,

Of course they are. It's the moral duty of all Muslims to participate in Jihad until the whole world submits to Islam.

[Sacajaweau]

Could it be because you attacked us?? Fool me once.....

[BilLies]

Muslim on Muslim killings? that could never happen in Iraq, Afghanistan, Iran and anywhere?????

[b4its2late]

Opposition to the construction of mosques has skyrocketed in cities and towns across the country, scholars and advocates of Muslim culture tell The Upshot.

Thank God in more ways than one!

Wait and see what happens when they try to build that one at Ground Zero. When we start building Christian churches across the Mideast, and particularly in Saudi Arabia, I might give credence to these whiney invaders.
