Civic, religious leaders celebrate mosque agreement
Chicago Sun-Times ^ | 6-22-2004 | CATHLEEN FALSANI

Posted on 06/22/2004 3:40:39 PM PDT by Nowhere Man

Civic and religious leaders gathered at the Morton Grove Village Hall Monday to celebrate a mediation agreement reached between the village and a Muslim organization over a hotly contested plan to build a mosque on the site of an Islamic education center.

While village officials and leaders of the Muslim Community Center said they were pleased to reach an accord, they admitted the agreement was imperfect and that the plan to build the mosque that would hold more than 500 worshippers remains far from a done deal.

I don't think there is a prohibition from the Chicago Sun-Times for posting the whole article but I just put an excerpt in just in case it was. I guess we will end up with another speaker system calling for prayer 5 times a day at 1500 decibels. B-P

Where do they want to build? Chicago already has two of them.

We didn't let the Japanese build religious sites during WWII. We shouldn't let Muslims build anything in this country until the WWIII has been won.

Muslim non-citizens should be sent home until WWIII has been won. Give them plane tickets and freeze their bank accounts. Would be not nearly as horrible as what they did to Paul Johnson and the South Korean worker.

The Clinton-Bush-Kerry administration, or whatever you want to call it, inflicts about 100,000 new alien muslims on us per year - issuing that many green cards to mohammadeans from terror-sinkholes such as Pakistan, Egypt, Afghanistan, Somalia, etc.

"....the mosque that would hold more than 500 worshippers.."

Or almost that number of militant "resistance fighters" and a huge armory when the armed conflict arrives here from the Middle East.

As it will when we scram out of Iraq, a virtual certainty should Kerry be elected to the Presidency this fall. It will not happen al at once. First, the decision to go into Iraq with 400,000 ground troops. This large of a call-up will cause the standby Selective Service draft to be activated. With this many serving in the armed forces, a large percentage of them unwilling, there will be a number of anti-war and anti-draft riots, and growing unrest on the home front. Since it would be both unpopular and a great burden on the home front, the troops in Iraq and elsewhere in the Middle East would be withdrawn, and the departure would be far more chaotic than the departure from Saigon in 1974. The Islamofascists, sensing victory, would activate their sleeper cells throughout the US, and the battle would be joined in our own streets and back country.

England in the black days of the engagement with Germany, during the height of the Blitz, would have seemed to be an almost cheerful place to be in comparison. Even the firebombing of Dresden would look like a walk in the park on a Sunday afternoon.

Kerry = a very bleak future. And all the worst predictions will surely come true. For it is a known fact, that Democrats cannot run a country, and for sure, they no longer have an inkling how to fight a war.

That would be excellent, my friend, if you stop to consider the possibilities for vigilante activity. I don't think the Geneva Convention would apply to either of us, do you?

I mean, do you think these camel jockey morons would stand a chance amongst the NRA-heavy Deep South?

Thank God Mexicans are mostly Christian, given Bush's Open Border Sieve policies towards them.

A large part of flyover country would be very dangerous terrain for ANY Islamic jihadist.

Remain well-stocked and keep your powder dry. Also, maintain a small stable of horses for swift over-country movement. The Sioux Indians were a good example from history, they kept the US Cavalry running ragged for nearly twenty years. Only superior technology finally overwhelmed the Plains Indians in the end. And the jihadists are not generating any new technology.

Exactly! The South Korean was killed because he was a Christian.

The jihadists generate nothing but murder. They do not have a cause. They are just bloodthirsty animals.

Pork rinds are a widely available junk food. Discretely let the word get out that such items will start littering every entrance about the time the muzzein commences hollering.

Yes, we're "luckier" than the Europeans, whose cheap labor imports have a higher "made in Mecca" content. Which means we'll get to keep the Western Civ flame burning for a decade or so after it goes out in the Old World.

I also heard the mosque will have a school on it or as they call it, a Madrassas.
