I am going to Spain in two months and have ABSOLUTELY NO desire, plan, time — you name it — to visit a mosque of any kind.
But, please tell me when any of this family visited, out of interest or pleasure, any Christian Cathedral, Church, Chapel. Right in DC is the beautiful, internationally praised and architecturally significant, Basilica of the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception. It is the largest Roman Catholic Church in the United States and North America. It is also one of the ten largest churches in the world.
Have we heard of one or any of the Obama's visiting there? Have they exposed their daughters to the beauty and sanctity of that landmark?
And when you listen to "moderate" Muslims trying to convince the American public that there is no reason to worry, just remember what al taqiyya is. To put it plainly, it's "good works" which earnes Muslims salvation, and consists of deliberately deceiving or lying to the non-Muslims.
So, if you begin to feel swayed by "moderate" Muslim talking heads on TV, or begin to doubt all the "islamophobes", remember al taqiyya and also remember that Muslims see 0bama as one of their own, whether he is a practicing Muslim or not. Just think: the ultimate al taqiyya would be to have everyone convinced he is a Christian.
When exactly did he become a Christian. His mother was a communist/leftist. His father was a Muslim who embraced communist ideas, but was buried with full Islamic rites. His grandfather was cradle Catholic who converted to Islam. 0bama's first and middle names are Muslim names. There is nothing Christian in his background.
Obozo Hussein and the Billion Orr Two Muslims in the World are laughing at the Stupid, Naive, American Leftwing Moonbat Infidels who still want to believe Obozo Hussein’s total pile of Bullcrap! The Muslims would be ripping Obozo if he had converted to Christianity and he would be praising
Our “ HOLY BIBLE “ instead of His “ Holy Koran’”! Ask the Con-artist to recite the Lord’s Prayer or the Apostle’s Creed and we will be able to hear the crickets chirping!!

Who come up with these idiotic spelling translations from Arabic? Does some quivering liberal egghead just think they're sooo bleepin' smart?
We don't need them destroying our language as well. In American English, a "Q" is always followed by a "U"....like "Qur'an" for example.
Annoying words like "Al Qaeda" and "Al Qaida", "Qatar" and others should be spelled Alkida, and Kattar, or Guttar. If that offends them they can go pound sand.
Next thing you know we'll be seeing spellings like:
Qatie Qouriq
Gimme a break...support redneck spelling of islamic terms.
The cathedral was built in 1492. That’s history. A mosque built in 2003 is not.
We know where her heart is. And it ain’t with Christianity/Judaism/Western Civilization.
Actually, there is no hard and set rule on how to transliterate from Arabic. It's pretty much up to an "egghead" to decide. The Quran" is also sometimes spelled the Koran, which is how I spell it.
Maybe the Arabic "kh" is a guttural sound which doesn't correspond to our k, so they substitute. I find the same variability in spelling when it comes to Biblical Hebrew, so much so that the same word doesn't even look the same in some of the variants. Then there are the apostrophes (') which I have no clue how to pronounce.
It's bad enough as it is; adding "redneck" spelling would make things even more complicated and difficult to track, imo.
Good, "koran" would be exactly the type of "redneck spelling" I was alluding to.
Maybe the Arabic "kh" is a guttural sound which doesn't correspond to our k, so they substitute.
Well then why don't they use "KH", that's self explanatory. Like Khadafi, they also spelled it Gaddafi. Now it's "Qaddafi".
The lone "Q" doesn't sound like "KH" or even have a definition. "KH" doesn't violate our language..."Q*" does.
It's bad enough as it is
I agree, but I don't spend a lot of time worrying about how to spell the sounds my dog makes either. They should just spell it like it sounds...woof.
Isn't she supposed to be covered up? We would ALL appreciate it!
Cool, you went to Spain?
Surprising how the MSM manages not to mention little things like this and, instead, just parrots “Obama is a Christian.”
He ate ice cream on the second day. I was watching out!
Too bad Michele did not go to view The Great Mosque of Córdoba, Spain, begun 786, then converted into Córdoba's Roman Catholic cathedral in 1238. The Catholic Cathedral is known locally as La Mezquita —The Mosque.
Aerial view of the Great Mosque of Córdoba, Spain, begun 786, doubled in area in the 10th century to 585 x 410 feet, with 1,200 columns supporting horseshoe arches, patterned with colored marbles and other stones. Although it was converted into Córdoba's Roman Catholic cathedral in 1238, the building is known locally as La Mezquita —The Mosque. LINK AT SITE: see the Great Mosque of Córdoba, showing the Christian alterations.
Yeah, they used to spell Khadafi but then someone decided it wasn't "Islamic" enough.

Well, I don't know who decides how we transliterate other languages. Personally, the Chinese transliterations are equally annoying. Foreign words and name should be transliterated in such a way that Americans pronounce them, not how they are spelled in the original.
Who cares how they are spelled in their native language! Chinese used to be transliterated so we could pronounce it, then they switched to current transliteration rules and Peking became Beijing, and Mao Tse-tung became Mao Zedung. Chinese has a lot of half tones that cannot be reproduced in English, so the best thing is to spell them as close as possible. But the Chinese insist on oding spelling acrobatics which are totally meaningless to an English reader, such as the fine differences between the Chinese shi and xi.
I’m down with every bit of that. (a little American ebonics there)
Screw the PC translation czars. Support redneck (American) spelling!
calypso louie is just another guy in the neighborhood....AND the person who got Rezko his first job as business manager (and controller) of Mo Ali, the boxer.

“The mosque is a symbol of a return to Islam among the Spanish people and among indigenous Europeans that will break with the malicious concept of Islam as a foreign and immigrant religion in Europe,” says Abdel Haqq Salaberria, a spokesman for the mosque and convert to Islam.
“It will act as a vocal point for the Islamic revival in Europe.”
