Nobody ever went to hell for destroying a loudspeaker...

I believe that when people start on the road of religious violence they rarely turn back, but keep marching on ahead.

All Christians and Jews should just put their CD players in the window and let it rip 5 times a day!!!!!!!


** I say SEVEN. Five at the exact times and duration (LOUDER however!) of the muslim call to their false god.

The additional two would be: the first before the first muslime call to their false god in the a.m. and one after the muslime call to their false god in the p.m., these additional rings/music would be in testament to the ONE, TRUE, GOD of both Jew and Christian.

If our government does not think this is a religious war, then they are entirely out of touch with the populace. I love GWB, but he needs to start paying attention to the DOMESTIC WAR which is about to occur unless muslimes are gotten under control!

You probably think that islam is a religion of peace too.
Tells me all I need to know about how your brain (mal)functions.

Some great, and legal, ideas for protest. Except not all Arabs are Muslims, so check before boycotting Arab businesses.



Why check? All Arabs should suffer for their muslime brothers actions, until THEY CALL OUT AGAINTS IT! It seems in Michigan, the WHOLE TOWN of Christians and their Jewish brothers will have to listen to muslime calls to prayer, so all arabs should take the blame. THIS IS OUR COUNTRY!

It is FAIR to persecute all arabs while ALL AMERICANS are being persecuted by islam.

This is simply OUTRAGEOUS if it's true!!!

If this place burns to the ground due to civil unrest they will deserve it!

You can only push free people so far. Churches should start having a call to prayer too!

This just in: Muslims HATE Christians by design! It's just about the crux of their religion. Yet, no "separation of church and state here."

I wouldn't feel comfortable in my home after this as one of the legislators. I would guess we haven't heard the end of this by a long shot! If we have, then several of you are correct. The muslims are well under way to taking over this country!

Truly OUTRAGEOUS!!!

I've gotta tell ya, the next time I meet someone who tells me their muslim, I'm gonna ask them straight up why they hate me! Then we're gonna have a nice open discussion about why they hate me, my family, and every other christian!

If they say they don't hate me, then I'm gonna ask them why they're muslim then, because being muslim necessarily mandates that they treat me, the infidel, as an iferior to be iradicated and to be held in a lower status. I'm gonna start asking some questions!

This is just flat out Barbara Streisand and if there's ever gonna be any action in this country, if this doesn't spurn it, then nothing ever will.

Good start and good luck! They tend to be very violent when you confront them with the truth.

Take care,

No problem ;p The saudis are a great thorn in our side and the American public needs to be aware of how their king thinks of us. I read that the fist time here on FR and my blood boiled. Now that I have become more aware of their goals to destroy the USA I have decided to take an aggressive stance towards their moves. Truth is their enemy. They hate and I inform. People always get a shock when you unmask a demon dressed as a sheep.

Too bad! I'm gettin' a little fed up with this. If the muslims ever become a large voting block, coupled with stupid libs, just look out. This country will go downhill faster than a roller coaster on it's first dip!

Besides, Muslims are also never man enough to confront those whom they hate face to face. It's always a cold cock or a nice brave sending of a child laden w/ explosives to do their dirty work!

In fact, I may even get with some people and start a web site. There's so much that's so open in the Quran about hating Christians. All one has to do is read it. You don't even have to "understand" anything about Islam.

E.g.;

[4.144] O you who believe! do not take the unbelievers for friends rather than the believers;

That's mild, but what does that alone say?

[8.38] Say to those who disbelieve, if they desist, that which is past shall be forgiven to them; and if they return, then what happened to the ancients has already passed. [8.39] And fight with them until there is no more persecution and religion should be only for Allah;

[8.38] Say to those who disbelieve, if they desist, that which is past shall be forgiven to them; and if they return, then what happened to the ancients has already passed. [8.39] And fight with them until there is no more persecution and religion should be only for Allah;

"Poor rate" my ass! Lib taxes are enough!

[9.14] Fight them, Allah will punish them by your hands and bring them to disgrace, and assist you against them and heal the hearts of a believing people.

[9.28] O you who believe! the idolaters are nothing but unclean, so they shall not approach the Sacred Mosque after this year; and if you fear poverty then Allah will enrich you out of His grace if He please; surely Allah is Knowing Wise. [9.29] Fight those who do not believe in Allah, nor in the latter day, nor do they prohibit what Allah and His Apostle have prohibited, nor follow the religion of truth, out of those who have been given the Book, until they pay the tax in acknowledgment of superiority and they are in a state of subjection. [9.30] And the Jews say: Uzair is the son of Allah; and the Christians say: The Messiah is the son of Allah; these are the words of their mouths; they imitate the saying of those who disbelieved before; may Allah destroy them; how they are turned away!

[9.33] He it is Who sent His Apostle with guidance and the religion of truth, that He might cause it to prevail over all religions, though the polytheists may be averse. Naturally, the "religion of truth" is Islam!

[9.123] O you who believe! fight those of the unbelievers who are near to you and let them find in you hardness; and know that Allah is with those who guard (against evil).

[48.16] Say to those of the dwellers of the desert who were left behind: You shall soon be invited (to fight) against a people possessing mighty prowess; you will fight against them until they submit; then if you obey, Allah will grant you a good reward; and if you turn back as you turned back before, He will punish you with a painful punishment.

[61.4] Surely Allah loves those who fight in His way in ranks as if they were a firm and compact wall.

I mean what does this say about Islam? It tells me that it's a religion of fighting and beating anyone who doesn't believe the way they do into literal submission! And this is what is receiving a warm welcome into our country and getting special public privileges???

Meanwhile, someone can't even put out a silent nativity scene w/o getting sued for it being in public! ABSOLUTELY OUTRAGEOUS!!!

Islam seeks to squelch ALL other religions and control the world! If that much isn't clear to people everywhere, then my suggestion is to look around the world. Islamicly controlled nations are either essentially all Islamic or the greatest human rights atrocities today permeate the nations where they do not control the entire nation!

Islam is a religion of fighting, NOT of peace at all! Funny tho, if you take up arms to defend yourself from it "in their way", I'm sure all hell would break loose legally and politically!

If left unchecked, this not maybe, but will spell the end of this country as we know it! Islam is completely and utterly incompatible with the underpinnings of this most free nation!

I can tell you this, it'll be a cold day before I ever subject myself to Islam! Under ANY circumstances. But if it ever comes to that day where such a choice needs to be made or not, then the war will have been lost a long, long time prior.

We're fighting the war of terroism in Iraq, and here in this country, bases of support for the terrorists are springing up right and left! And please, don't give me this crap about "peace loving muslims." I ain't buyin' it with the Quran chock full of hatred against Jews and Christians in particular!

If they're so peace loving, then where the hell's the outrage over all the innocent bloodshed commmitted by their cohorts in arms???? Simple, it isn't there! Yet, that doesn't seem to be of a concern to most Americans as they go thru life fat, drunk, and stupid while the first steps to the most radical changes that face this nation go seemingly and relatively unchallenged!

This thing in Michigan should produce national outrage. Yet, is it? IDK, maybe it's there, but I'm not seeing it. If this happens nationwide, time to kiss the U.S. and it's underpinnings good bye! It won't be a decade before it's finished!

Maybe someone will start the "Church of Ted and the Amboyd Dukes"

Prayer call will be Wango-Z-Tango 7 times a day at 140DB.

There would be an X-rated book shop with 2 for one on Wednesdays (Yes I love the "Men in Black Movies...)

And the Holy Offering which can be also purchased in the Gift shop is Nugent BildaBong Pork Jerky...

LOL...

Unfortunately this really is not a laughing matter. Islam and muslims as a voting block in this country threaten the U.S. more than DimLibs do!

Glory to God in the Highest, And Peace to His People on Earth. Lord God, Heavenly King, Almighty God and Father, We Worship You we give You Thanks, We Praise You For Your Glory.

Lord Jesus Christ, Only Son of the Father, Lord God, Lamb of God. You Take Away the Sins of the World, Have Mercy On Us. You Are Seated At the right hand of the Father, Receive our Prayer...

For you alone are the Holy One, You alone are the Lord. You alone are the Most High: Jesus Christ, with the Holy Spirit, In the Glory of God the Father Amen.


The more I think about this, the better I like it. The good Catholic citizens of Hamtramck, every time that moosy crap is played, ought to blast the above from bull horns, steeples, wherever the heck they feel like it.

Unfortunately 838, that doesn't solve the problem. Christians and Jews have no trouble living with Muslims, but it's Muslims that have trouble with Jews and Christians and really anyone not Muslim!

This isn't a tit-for-tat political matter, it's one of, or should be, what will Islam do to our country?

The answer is plainly simple; it will destroy it! There is absolutely no other conclusion to be drawn. Can you imagine the types of attacks that are going on in the Middle East right now happening all over this country?

I can, and it terrifies me! But that's exactly what will be happening once enough Muslims are here in this country! EXACTLY!

How many is enough you might ask? I can't answer that. But it only took a few to carry out 9/11!

The local and regional authorities would easily be over their heads. They can't even contain gangs! The Feds' ability to deal with this would be defunct due to the extent of it!

I'm tellin' ya right now, if this continues in other parts of the nation, which it will if this isn't immediately nipped in the bud, then it won't be 10 years before the fruits of it rear their UGLY heads and many, many, many lives are lost and the American way of life in extreme peril!

Sadly, the only permanent solution is to kick them out of the country for good! Every last one of them!

This is like the nice guy hitchhiker that hitches a ride, comes home for dinner, then kills the husband, rapes the wife, tortures the kids, and then takes over the house altogether!

Once again, ...

Islam is absolutely not compatible with the foundational elements and underpinnings of the United States.

Freedom of Speech, freedom of religion, freedom of expression, and freedom overall are in grave peril with the growth of Islam in this country!

It is the fastest growing religion in the U.S.

I fear for my young son!

"Isn't the "call to prayer" actually a recitation of the Islamic religion....as such..isn't it public proselityzing?"

Yep.

Coming soon to a mosque near you. How long before the next city makes the same demands? That would totally creep me out if I had to wake up listening to that!

You got it. Just wait until the citizens get this in their ears day and night. This council really doesn't have a clue or have been bought off

Our daughter lived below a group of Muslim students at U of AL years ago. They hit their knees twice during sleeping hours with a loud thump and started chanting prayers. She moved as soon as her lease was up. Lived there with her 4 year old and was afraid to complain to housing after the first time--nothng was done by housing, but the disturbances got worse. These people think they are right, fanatically, and intend to get their way. Someone above said the camel is in the tent up to his rear end--No! The camel is in the tent, including his tail , has parked himself in the middle of the tent and is braying (or whatever noise camels make) at top decibel.
