Islam is a cult of conquest. Glenn Beck and Fox/Saudia News appear to approve of the mosque at ground zero.

Keep watching TV - serfs.

I would think all religions that pass whatever criteria is required now.

I don’t follow your second para.

I don’t believe Islam will have to be put down, as I don’t believe it will get to a point where that is necessary. The very core of America and it’s citizens, is antithesis to Islam.

“We help finance them via their tax exempt status.”

This is the liberal fallacy of taxes. We don’t finance them because they don’t pay taxes. That’s like democrats asking how to “pay for tax cuts” in the budget like it was their money they have to give up.

It’s on the order of raising Corporate Taxes to ‘hurt’ companies when Companies do not pay taxes. The ones who pay are workers and consumers.

Well, you seem to want to forbid certain religions, e.g., Islam (just like the Saudis ban Churches and Bibles).

What is your list of “approved religions”? Christians only?

Can Mormons ban Methodists in Utah?

How about Branch Davidians? They’re weirdos. Let’s burn down their homes.

Sounds good to me. How does one go about changing the tax codes?

The ones that are actual religions. Not the ones that are smokescreens for political ideology designed to overthrow our government & force Sharia on us.

Again, the tax code determines what a church is. The federal government doesn’t need to intervene in this specific case.

The tax exempt church status of islamic mosques needs to be eliminated.

Yeah, it sucks having a consistent intellectual position. They should ban any religion with which I don’t agree.

This is a road we do not want to travel.

It’s been tried before, what happens when your faith or my faith becomes the scapegoat?

People can worship whatever they want as long as they don’t break other laws.

I object to islam being called a religion at all & funded by taxpayers via their tax exempt status.

Huh?

They rake in millions, most of it from the Saudis & get to skip paying taxes on it while getting the benefit of all of our services. That doesn’t cost us anything?

They invest their millions, make interest/profits all tax free & that doesn’t cost us?

When beheadings & clitorectomies become part of my faith’s dogma.

Islam is not a “scapegoat”—it is a deadly serious enemy.

This must be what my dad went thru in the 1930’s when he read Mein Kampf & nobody took him seriously.

Any justification or rationale used for Islam can and will be used for other religions or faiths.

We do not want to go down this road.

I heard the radio program. Beck is ignoring that we should consider us being a war with Islam. So is the rest of the country.

I actually agree. It is not a federal govt role to get involved. Local may have a role, but involvement here opens up the potential for them to tell churches and synagogues where to go. As we have learned to many times in the past, when the state is used for issues in our favor, it just opens up the opportunity for future abuse and misuse.

Why do Freepers keep getting distracted from the real issue? Is it a case of seeing something shiny and needing to bark at it? The issue isn't Beck or freedom of religion. There WOULDN'T BE a question of mosques at ground zero if the Clinton, Bush or Obama administrations had gotten serious about defining the enemy. Clinton kept pushing the “legal” button, Bush sidetracked himself with trying to use a war with Iraq to overturn several hundred years of history, and Obama is trying to find any means possible to destroy America as we know it. Focus, people, focus.

Don’t we attempt to do that every election?

Government and religion is a bad combo.

Not all religions are equal.

Besides that, our nation was founded upon the principles of Christianity, NOT Islam.
