It is absurd this guy got hired in the first place. I would be interested to know the number of Muslim firefighters in the NYC Fire Department.

[ndkos]

A Muslim fire chaplin in New York City? Is he going to begin his prayers asking for Allah to bring death and destruction to the firefighters?

[MarineBrat]

Islamics are like little children in their logic skills.

".......position of FDNY Chaplain......."

"...........questioned whether 19 hijackers were responsible for the Sept. 11 terror attacks, and suggested a broader conspiracy may have brought down the Twin Towers and killed more than 2,700 people..........."

!

[ndkos]

Whoever made the decision to hire this guy was stuck on stupid!

[OldFriend]

Anyone surprised at his thinking?

[OldFriend]

I watched Scopetta on TV one afternoon probably a year ago.

He was discussing homeland security. He stated that he would be creative with the funds and use the money for diversity programs.

[popdonnelly]

I find it offensive that this man was even considered for the job of chaplain for the FDNY. Muslim nuts killed over 300 New York City firemen. Political correctness offends common sense.

Yesterday, a spokesman for the Fire Department, Frank Gribbon, said that Habib was recommended by the department's Islamic Society

An intense investigation of this "Islamic Society" seems to be in order.

Habib was one of several imams recommended for the chaplain's job by the Islamic Society for the Fire Department, as a result of his work teaching junior high students at Al-Ihsan Academy in Ozone Park, a private Islamic school, where he worked for about five years.

Terrorists-in-training, no doubt.

[Thanatos]

I read this in the Article: ""He's a good man," said Hakim Braxton, president of the Islamic Society. "Any statements he's made, he's responsible for ... But I would ask that the citizens of this city give him a chance and judge him on his actions."

I'm thinking that the Citizens of New York DID Judge him on his actions and forced him to Resign.. For a Chaplin, words are actions, actions are words..

[pabianice]

Later in the interview he revealed the "real" hijackers to have been from the Temple B'nai Torah (Newton, MA) women's auxilliary...

This holy iman is being mistreated. He is absolutely correct that muslims did not cause 9-11.

I have long suspected an international conspiracy of mass-murdering Buddhist monks, perhaps assassin Amish, or blood-thirsty Nebraskan Lutherans.

Meanwhile our prisons are full of these IslamoNazi "chaplains" recruiting for al Queda.

Habib, 30, a native of Guyana who studied Islam in Saudi Arabia,

Our friends the Saudis, always gifting us with these mental giants ... definitely the gift that keeps on giving.

[Red Boots]

Habib's remarks about the attacks came in response to questions about whether he thought firefighters would accept a chaplain who had been educated in Saudi Arabia. He said he did not expect that to be an issue because "I come from a country where you're accustomed to living with people of different ethnic, religious and racial backgrounds."

Yeah, we all know what a bastion of religious tolerance Saudi Arabia is. /sarcasm

[sono]

I would expect that the Imam receives a visit from the FBI in the near future ...

[Dallas59]

GOOD!

[dighton]

Yo, Imam!

Fire departments put out fires.

According to the above article, the FDNY had only 12 muslims on staff. Both the Islamic Society of the FD along with the Vulcan Society, pushed for the hire of a muslim chaplain.

Both groups protested the hiring of former City Officer, E. McMellon, who was cleared of wrongdoing in the shooting death of the muslim man, Amadou Diallo.

Habib, 30, a native of Guyana who studied Islam in Saudi Arabia...

And...

Habib, 30, a soft-spoken man who immigrated to New York in July 2000 after spending six years in Saudi Arabia getting a degree in Islamic theology and law. "

Did he come from Jonestown?

Jim Jones was sooo short-sighted.
