They will never relent. We must meet them at all fronts with only victory in mind.

I certainly don't want to advocate any vandalism but, wouldn't a well placed shot be able to silence the loudspeaker?

Has the city council implemented the Sharia yet?

How many times a day are they allowed to issue a fatwa?

What a bunch of sickening, spineless wimps.

How about other religions? There's the Rosary, for example.

Does anyone have the names, background, terms, etc of the city council members? It's hard to believe that the cool aid could be so strong in the council chambers without some other explanation.

Since they have ok'd the loudspeakers, I see no reason why the churches cannot ring their bells in unison at the same time. I bet you could muster a volunteer force to do so.

Would they allow the Angelus to be broadcast publicly there? I doubt it.

For those who don't know, the Angelus was a prayer said three times a day, at morning, noon and evening.

V. The Angel of the Lord declared unto Mary.
R. And she conceived of the Holy Spirit.
Hail Mary, etc.

V. Behold the handmaid of the Lord.
R. Be it done unto me according to thy word.
Hail Mary, etc.

V. And the Word was made Flesh.
R. And dwelt among us.
Hail Mary, etc.

V. Pray for us, O holy Mother of God.
R. That we may be made worthy of the promises of Christ.

We could run a book on how long you'll have to wait to find out...put me down for twenty bucks on 4 minutes.

You people have absolutely no idea what you are in for do you? You are being led like lambs to the slaughter.

I made a post here on Freerepublic two years ago and mentioned that this was going to happen. People here said I was crazy and that it would NEVER happen in the United States.

This is only the beginning.
