Bridges at Toko Rei,Bridg eon the River Kwai,Problem with
bridges is they are built to connect one with where they
want to go. And only the slave or the bloody terrorist
would want to build a bridge to Islam. Even with heavy
guns at both ports and armed patrols all along the span
it is a fools venture for the bloody bastards insist any
submission to their bloody god allah means there can be no
return. Sorta like choosing to be homosexual in our PC world.
Ping this to the Washington State group if you can please

Ping sionnsar if you see a Washington state related thread.
Muslim group scales back plan for mosque 03/19/04, Ref.1639WA - Ithna-Asheri Muslim Association of the Northwest, whose plans for a mosque in a residential Bellevue neighborhood triggered an outcry from neighbors is returning to the city with a scaled-down proposal.
The Association wants to build an 18,000-square-foot mosque on a 4.4-acre lot. That's down from roughly 30,000 square feet in plans first submitted to the city in 2000.
The earlier plan, which included 151 parking spots and a building topped by minarets and a dome, drew criticism from some nearby residents who said the large facility was out of place and could draw too much traffic.
I believe some of our local CAIR are involved -- Jawad Khaki, for example.
"Your days three lectures cover the history of Islam, its religious tenets, myths and realities, and daily life for Muslim Americans. Observe noon prayer and then enjoy a slideshow of travel photographs of Iran during lunch."
Guess they won't be showing the TRUTH about IRAN during LUNCH!
The slide show I would like to see (though I'll hardly be going). They have, among other things, some beautiful churches (right column "Historical Manuments"[sic] -- Iranian Historical Churches) there, for example. (And yes, in pic #3, that is snow in Isfahan.)
America learned all we need to know about Islam on 9/11!
