Thousands celebrate Muslim holy day (and plan to vote against President Bush)

St. Louis Post-Dispatch ^ | Feb. 2, 2004

Members hug after the prayer service of the Eid ul-Adha, a Muslim holy day.

Those expecting prayer got a dose of politics as well Sunday morning as thousands of Muslims gathered downtown for one of their largest holiday celebrations of the year.

Religon of Peace at work.

"This society was established on principles we all identify with - religious tolerance, equality, dignity for all humans and the rule of law," Safi said.

"Until we become a majority---then the infidel must follow OUR law and must renounce his pagan religions. Or die."

[San Jacinto]

Well, it's all very logical. Anyone who wishes to see America lose the war on terror would naturally vote against Bush and for the democrat. These people are Americans only in the sese that they live here. They will only love the country after their kind is in charge of it.

[rageaholic]

Naturally muslims will vote for the weakest politicians, since their ultimate aim is to replace the Constitution with the koran.

[Missouri]

These people are shameless.

[rageaholic]

Quite right, since shame as you and I understand it is a Western concept.

"Most of us here are Muslim-Americans; we have to claim it as our land,"

And conservatives are worried about Mexicans? Who are generally Christians and share our values (even though their dysfunctional socialist state is so inept they have to leave the country to get a job).

I don't want Muslims "claiming" this land, thanks. They're about to "claim" all of Europe, starting with Belgium and France, so we should be out there trying to fight back at the ballot box before they "claim" our land too.

"This society was established on principles we all identify with - religious tolerance, equality, dignity for all humans and the rule of law," Safi said.

You can tell when a muslim is lying: his lips are moving.

"Are you a citizen? Are you registered to vote?"

Anyone who wishes to see America lose the war on terror would naturally vote against Bush and for the democrat.

These people will use our own Constitution to try to destroy us. Why would it matter to a democrat if they were a citizen or not?

[Henchman]

I love those "Guest Workers". Guess ole Bushy's amnesty plan will backfire. Seems to me the Dems passed a drive up voter registration. If the Mooslims have a driver license, these guest workers vote, citizen or not. A little short sighted to think it is just Mexicans trampling out values, culture and way of life.

Come to think on it, unless ole Bushy drops his assinine plan, I ain't voting for him...and neither are a LOT of other people whom I know...and they voted for him the first time. No we won't vote Degenarat. Bye Bye Bush!

"Most of us here are Muslim-Americans; we have to claim it as our land,"

I hear this nonsense in Britain Who is Muslim-Americans I would like to know? Claim it as their land, hold on am I missing something here. Their land I mean what is next US will allowed these people to claim US land as their own. I just don't get it. This is outrageous

Anyone who wishes to see America lose the war on terror would naturally vote against Bush and for the democrat.

They have exposed themselves. No one can say that we havn't been warned.

[Freebird Forever]

"Most of us here are Muslim-Americans; we have to claim it as our land

Just as they're attempting to do in Israel.

[Missouri]

Come to think on it, unless ole Bushy drops his assinine plan, I ain't voting for him...

I've written both my Republican Senators (Bond and Talent) urging them to save the Bush Presidency and vote down his proposal. Strange situation. Alot hinges on what happens in Congress.

[Henchman]

"Claim it as our land". I saw their leaders on TV. They intend to swamp us with people. They admit they were sent here by their MoolaHs. They want to establish a religious state (Mooslim of course). They don't advocate the VIOLENT over throw of the Constitution, so the liberals have to love them. The LIBs love to change the "living" Constitution all the time in court.

Bring in those Guest Workers! I'm trying to see if I can get a passport to a non Mooslim influenced country. Anyone know how to get into Austrailia? Seems they shut off immigration; not even for guest workers.

[jstolarczyk]

Bright, well thought out. Who are you punishing? Bush, hardly. How about yourself, your children and possibly your grand children. One reason why, look at the "separation of church and state" that does not exists in the constitution. It came from a paper written by Jefferson, it was inject into law around 30 years ago by an activist liberal Supreme Court Justice. 30 years later the Christian faith is under attack, while Muslim and Jewish symbols are protected a cross are a nativity scene is consider an imposition. Now, look at what happens when Sandra Day O'Connor and one other Justice retires this year. Kerry makes Ruth Bader Ginsburg the Chief Justice, you won't be able to count the rights you lose on both hands. So stay home, don't vote, but do not complain. Bush gets a retirement for life, a library and $100,000 speaking fee. Some punishment you are dishing out.

"People definitely feel a sense of urgency to get involved now because they've seen that the lack of political involvement has led to people not listening to our concerns," Sadiq said.

Sadiq, what we have been listening for, and in vain I might add, is for the Muslim community to decry in no uncertain terms the violence perpetrated in your name.

Sadiq, it is the only thing what will save you from destruction in the event your terrorist brethren succeed in
making a massive terror strike and at that it's only a 50/50
chance. Still it's one I'D take.

It's up to you, rein in your mad dogs, put them down or suffer the consequences of THEIR actions.

[freeangel]

So much for separation of church and state--not applicable when it comes to dems.

[Missouri]

It's up to you, rein in your mad dogs

IMHO, they really don't want to.
