No Taxes For The Ground Zero Mosque
Investor's Business Daily ^ | November 26, 2010 | IBD staff

Posted on 11/26/2010 9:22:30 AM PST by raptor22

Sacred Sites: Developers of the Ground Zero mosque have applied for federal grant money to help with its construction. They may have the right to build it, but having taxpayers foot the bill would be the ultimate insult.

As Thanksgiving travelers were being fondled and groped on their way to grandma's house in a futile effort to prevent another 9/11 attack, developers of a proposed "cultural center" within blocks of the site of that attack were asking these same travelers to fork over their tax dollars to build what many consider not a bridge over a cultural divide but a slap in the face to the victims of terror.

This is how Islam fights wars, uses a country’s political system against itself. They are parasitic viruses.

My church has never gotten a federal grant, nor applied for one.

The only reason they have chutzpah is because they know that we have no b*lls.

Oh Dang! The wife just walked in.

She said “What are you doing”?

Couldn’t really tell her I was checking to see if I had any balls cause 353FMG said I didn’t...

Told her it was the warmup

Warmup for WHAT!?

Told her “Remember? We’re flying tomorrow!”...

I guess leftists must have an exemption for Islam in that whole “church & state” thing they like to talk about.

That’s right. Watched the most recent episode of “Law & Order SVU” the other night. The writers managed to build the plot around the demonstrations at Park 51. The detectives from SVU arrived at the site and were immediately told why so many citizens were demonstrating. Of course Marissa Hargitay’s character spat back at them that they should just relax, it was just going to be a community center for basketball etc etc, so how was that a threat? The demonstrators stated their belief the center could be used as a staging ground for possible further attacks. You could tell by the looks on the detectives’ faces that they were clearly trying to tell the audience the demonstrators were nuts, just some lunatic right-wing imbeciles. Wonder how many sheeple take their political and cultural cues from these police programs, which are nothing but sly conduits for left-wing pro-Muslim propaganda. You can’t even watch a program for entertainment anymore without getting your you-know-whats kicked by watching raw reality get rewritten, twisted into knots and turned completely upside down.

Tell this to the church that was across the street from the Trade Center that was denied the “right” to rebuild.

“Sacred Sites: Developers of the Ground Zero mosque have applied for federal grant money to help with its construction.”

Amazing. if this was a Christian church, the ACLU would call it a violation of church and state and sue.

They may have the right to build it,

No, they do not. Not the legal "right," unless it is specifically granted to them by the relevant jurisdiction.

My church can't build a new sanctuary, on property we've owned for more than 15 years, because the city prefers to drive us off. First it was "environmental," and now we've learned that the city's long-term plan shows a city conference center on our site.

Everyone's "right" to build is conditional, whether they're a religious group, a business, or a private individual.

.....that whole “church & state” thing they like to talk about.

Clarification: it's about your church and your state.

All enemy entities are organically exempt from their complaint.

I saw that episode. Well, I should say that I saw some of it, because I changed channels right after that little scene. I am getting sick and tired of TV dramas pulling this crap. That's probably why I've been watching more and more cooking shows, true crime stories and DVDs.

It's insane. We are seeing a new protected, privileged class being created right before our eyes.

AERIAL VIEW------GROUND ZERO MOSQUE

Spokesman for Islamic triumphalism on US soil----former Cong Vin Weber had this to say: : “The report----Changing Course: A New Direction for US Relations with the Muslim World----provides clear-headed ideas and analysis that the American public and bipartisan leaders can get behind in working to improve US-Muslim relations. The process by which this group reached consensus is a good model for dialogue for the tough issues the country faces.”

Oh, okay. So let's concentrate on Islam's religious beliefs. The fundamentals of what they believe are at the core of their thinking. The Koran---Islam's religious playbook----contains the directives that rules their lives and forms the basis of what they believe.

EVERY Muslim must abide by these directives.

Have no unbelieving friends. Kill the unbelievers wherever you find them. 4:89

When you fight with disbelievers, do not retreat. Those who do will go to hell. 8:15-16

Those that the Muslims killed were not really killed by them. It was Allah who did the killing. 8:17

Fight the disbelievers! Allah is on your side; he will give you victory. 9:12-14

The “Religion of Truth” (Islam) must prevail, by force if necessary, over all other religions. 9:33

Fight the disbelievers and hypocrites. Be harsh with them. They are all going to hell anyway. 9:73

Fight disbelievers who are near you, and let them see the harshness in you. 9:123

If you refuse to fight for Allah, he will punish you with a painful doom. 48:16

All Muslims are compelled to look down on non-Muslims as infidels.

========================================

RAISE YOUR HAND Who among us believes the 9/11 hijackers acted on a "perverse and narrow interpretation" of their religion?

Agitating for a Ground Zero mosque is another version of "Triumphalism".....brough to you by another group of hyphenates bent on mischief. Latinos are itching for Reconquista. The mosquevites are looking to impose Sharia law on the US.

All of us are sick and tired of these foreign-born "hyphenates" sticking it to Americans.

Americans know all the world wants to live like we do---even our poorest live handsomely compared to some of these corrupt backwater Third World hellholes. Now, instead of blending into the US melting pot, the hyphenates want to radically change our culture---they want us to be like them.

That ain't gonna happen.

==========================================

This tidbit oughta get the Ground Zero mosquevites' panties in a twist. They want to call it the "Cordoba Mosque."

THE KORAN SAY: “Religion of Truth” (Islam) must prevail, by force if necessary, over all other religions. 9:33

Spain's "Cordoba Mosque" was converted into a Roman Catholic Cathedral.

The Great Mosque of Córdoba, Spain, begun 786 by Muslims (who had cpnquered St Vincent's RC Church). But in 1238, the Cordoba Mosque was converted into Roman Catholic cathedral. The Catholic Cathedral is known locally as La Mezquita —The Mosque.

Aerial view of the Great Mosque of Córdoba, Spain, begun 786, doubled in area in the 10th century to 585 x 410 feet, with 1,200 columns supporting horseshoe arches, patterned with colored marbles and other stones. Although it was converted into Córdoba's Roman Catholic cathedral in 1238, the building is known locally as La Mezquita —The Mosque. LINK AT SITE: see the Great Mosque of Córdoba, showing the Christian alterations.
