ANGER OVER CLUB'S POSTER BY MOSQUE

As I stated in another thread.....at a University Library....an employee told a student to get rid of his gum...because it was rude to eat something when the Muslims were fasting....

I'd rather remove the mosque. I'm offended that is close to a pic of cute girls.

I suppose you have the same option they do.  Take it up with the council.  :-)

The biggest zoning fuss around here is an exceedingly large church wants to build a second parking lot.  The surrounding neighbors don't want it and would prefer the church move.  The Baptists got plenty of press and so did the neighbors, but I haven't heard much about a solution.

Answering the lewd behavior complaint call, the officers were greeted by a little old lady on the fourth floor who told them, "The man on the second floor across the alleyway does his exercises in the nude, and I'm forced to look at it."

One of the officers looked out the window she pointed to, but couldn't see anything. She responded, "Well, if you climb up on this ladder and lean all the way over to the left, you can see right into his window."

"How about a poster of the twin towers being hit with the words "We will never forget!" This gives me an idea...."

I think I like your idea. :)

[Danae]

How bout pics of the people beheaded by Muslims instead? Where's the outrage about that? Hypocrites.

Why but up signage like that within view of any house of worship?

They must have thought they were advertising to their market.

[Fawn]

WOW-----barbaric.

The funny thing is they would've been REALLY mad had it been a poster of Winnie the Pooh and Piglet!

Well then, move your mosque - like to Saudi Arabia or some other God-forsaken cesspool like that.

British women are attractive - that's why they don't wrap up in burquas. But then they don't have to bear lots of kids, and do menial servile labor for a polygamist who worships a moon god.

DUH! If you don't like what is posted on the board, take up a collection, rent the damn board and post whatever your want!

[Paved Paradise]

I just saw your reply - hee hee. I was thinking along the same lines.

It's not the kind of thing you want to see when you are doing your prayers.

I don't know about y'all - but if I look up from saying my prayers and there's a scantily clad woman in my room...

Christian churches would object, but they'd be laughed at, attacked in the media for being "against free speech", picketed, and in the end a half dozen more posters would go up to "teach those religious extremist bigots a lesson." Unfortunately, the church would probably respond by keeping its profile low. And inside the church some of the good Christians would begin to argue with each other about being more "tolerant", reaching out, etc... ad nauseum. In the end an apology - to the perpetrators.

Yeah but... Where are such billboards allowed in Saudi Arabia, for instance? Probably no where. It's a matter of creeping islamism: First it's offensive to the "congregation" (what a joke to refer to a bunch of these cutthroats as a congregation!) if the billboard is near a mosque. Then it's offensive if it's within eyesight of any muslim. Then it's offensive if it's anywhere in the country -- even if muslims can't see it. Then it's offensive if an infidel walks on muslim ground with his filthy feet.

Maybe both sides would benefit if the club advertised "72 virgins."

[nightdriver]

"There's enough immorality in the world and to impose something like this on Muslims is totally unacceptable."

Well, then, how about replacing the billboard with one showing a good ol' bloody beheading, complete with supporting verses from the koran?

A mosque is not exactly a house of worship. More like the Devil's workshop...

[null and void]

No pictures of the offending billboard, but....
