I saw Mayor Raysom speaking on the "We Report, You Decide" segment of the Fox Report tonight in the 7 pm EDT hour. He sounded like a big left-wing multiculturalist. According to a Miami Herald article, Rayson is a former Democratic state legislator for Broward Country. Why am I not surprised? He's now running for the Broward County Circuit Court. He needs to be stopped!
There's also this detail from the full Sun-Sentinel article:
Inside the commission's chambers, Dozier also repeated some of the rhetoric that prompted Gov. Jeb Bush's office to ask him to resign from Broward County's Judicial Nominating Committee recently.
Ah, even a black community leader cannot make a public stand against the encroachment of Islam locally!! They're becoming a protected class.
What a bunch of bigots! Why wouldn't anyone want the Wahhabies setting up shop in their neighborhood.
Ping!!!!
This guy understands the situation.
Put the issue before the local citizens to decide via voting....
I can see the argument to allow the mosque for religious liberties however islam can pose a real dangerous element and so Rev. Dozier raises a valid point in opposing the mosque. Let the people vote and decide the matter....
(unless some black-robed tyrant overthrows the will of the people) Still...put the issue to a vote.
I wouldn't want a terrorist factory in my neighborhood either. Islam is not a religion, it's a cult.
Would this include those "religions" that promote child sacrifice?
I saw him saying that it is an evil religion. Let's test that, shall we?
Does it lead one to faith in the Son of God, Jesus Christ?
Nope....
Ergo, EVIL
(for my Jewish friends, study of how He fulfills the Messianic Prophecies leads many to faith in Him so, not evil. Incomplete perhaps but not evil.)
Well, here you have it.
After all legal means fail, bury a few pigs on the site, that will make the Islamist look elswhere.
Here's something to be very concerned about in Florida and elsewhere!!!
Weel they can always do what muslims do when they don't approve something ..... firebomb the hell out of it.
After everything really hits the fan, and the islamofascist enemy in "publically" identified, and the lie that islam is a religion of peace is once and for all outed, there is going to be alot more than just protesting happening.
As with the human body, the best way to deal with cancer in the body politic is to excise it.
That Mayor, on the other hand, is an idiot. I couldn't believe the way he was sucking up to Muslims. I'm afraid America is going to learn the same way Europe has. That bunch of morons running this country don't have sense enough to see the danger.
Since Islam allows no other faith to exist alongside them, then it seems Mayor Raysom effectively wants to prohibit non-Islamic churches or religions by attracting to Pompano Beach the Muslims who will squeeze out the non-Muslims.
Pompano ping!
Religious tolerance is booed loudly
BY FRED GRIMM

Willie Lawson invoked the teachings of Martin Luther King Jr. The NAACP leader spoke of America's founding principles, the need for tolerance, the evil of discrimination.
He was booed loudly. Disapproval fairly cascaded through the audience at Pompano Beach City Hall. It was a reception a civil rights leader hasn't endured in these parts since North Broward was a sprawling tomato patch ruled by racist rednecks.
In the modern version played out Tuesday night, the bigots were black.
They held signs and marched outside City Hall to protest city zoning approval of a mosque in northwest Pompano Beach.
ISLAM DENIGRATED
When the City Commission met an hour later, the dissidents' leader, the Rev. O'Neal Dozier of the Worldwide Christian Church, went to the podium and denigrated Islam, a ''cult'' he called it, and reduced all its practitioners to stark, one-dimensional bomb-wielding American-hating stereotypes.
Dozier accused ''Moooslims'' (stretching out that first syllable for mocking emphasis) of picking a Christian neighborhood where they could convert young black men to Islam. ``We don't need young black men to become more angry, to hate white men. We don't need any more violence.''
Dozier's words brought shouts of ''Amen!'' from the audience. His three-minute diatribe brought applause and then a standing ovation.
When Lawson, president of the North Broward NAACP, rose to call for religious tolerance, it became an act of courage.
Another anti-Islam rant Dozier delivered during a radio interview last week forced the governor to remove him from the Broward Judicial Nominating Commission on Monday. Dozier, a preacher and lawyer, had served on the commission since 2001, screening judicial candidates and making recommendations for Gov. Jeb Bush. Clearly, getting fired hadn't chastened the minister. He showed up Tuesday night with about 70 demonstrators, still railing about Islam.
He failed to persuade the City Commission to undo zoning approval for a new Islamic Center of South Florida. But he certainly raised questions about the twisted influence such an unapologetic bigot wielded during his five years on the judicial commission.
DENOUNCED GAYS
Dozier was known for intolerance long before the mosque issue. But it was his stunning denunciations of gays that brought him his earlier notoriety.
And Dozier also likes to rail against the notion of a secular government. He once complained to The Daily Business Review, ``There is no such animal as separation of church and state in the Constitution.''
And Dozier was known to query judicial candidates about their personal religious beliefs and whether they attended church. Barry W. Lynn, executive director of Americans United, wrote to Gov. Bush in January 2004, asking him to fire his appointee. ''Dozier's overt religious bigotry is wholly unacceptable and he must no longer be allowed an official role in the selection of judges in Florida,'' Lynn wrote. ``It is appalling that in 2004 judicial nominees are being subjected to an inquisition.''
Finally Dozier's bigotry became too much, even for Jeb.
STILL A VOLUNTEER
But apparently not for state Attorney General Charlie Crist. Crist told The Miami Herald's Gary Fineout that the nasty sentiments spewed by Dozier weren't enough to stop him from volunteering in Crist's gubernatorial campaign.
''I'm not going to do that,'' Crist said. ``I'm grateful for all the support I can get.''
So, many years after Jim Crow politics was vanquished from Florida, bigotry still has friends in high places.
Do mosques play their music 5 times a day throughout the whole neighborhood?
