As proponents for 911 denier imam Rauf's mosque shift into a defensive mode, apparently caught off-guard by the strong public rejection of his pet project, so too shifts their argument.
Until now what we have heard coming out of Rauf's camp consists of platitudes - disingenuously offered for sure - stressing how the 13 story mega-mosque will be an agent of healing, of bringing two worlds in opposition together.
With that argument having been firmly rejected by a two to one majority in numerous polls the conversation now shifts to that of freedom of religion...
...what they want is to force a degree of religious freedom in New York and across this country [and by extension the West] nowhere obtainable anywhere in the Muslim world...
...we are talking about Saudi Arabia, and Syria, Egypt and every Muslim majority country because it isn't happenstance that these particular societies so severely restrict the religious rights of all non-Muslims. This happens because the dominant strain of Islam is supremely chauvinistic and bigoted regarding other faiths, this despite the fact that Muslim apologists are fond of giving only lip service to other "Abrahamic faiths" while ruthlessly suppressing them in every clime where they have the power to do so.
The fundamentalism of Islam demands total submission to it, everywhere that it has the political muscle to call the shots.
Yet in this country, the simple assertion that a Qur'an has been "desecrated," somewhere...anywhere, is dealt with as if it was a capital crime, an unbelievably injurious act of pure hate.
Spare me, please.
What is largely absent from the discussion regarding shady imam Rauf's grand plan is the inherent nature of the religion he is promoting and is practiced everywhere in the world. Please remember that in his understanding of Islam, Hamas and the Muslim Brotherhood are apparently not terrorist entities.
This brand of Islam is completely intolerant, misogynistic, expansionist and unapologetic.
Yet we are being told by the imam, CAIR's various thugs and the entire North American Hamas-friendly Muslim directorate [many of them non-native born, yes it does make a difference] that they will build a mosque at Ground Zero - for the sake of peace - [wink wink, nod, nod] despite the pain, strife and religious bigotry that it will undoubtedly foster...
...In countries and locales that aren't dominated by Islam they will insist on ridiculous legal constructions as a tool towards their real goal - the implementation of Shari'a, but when those societies fall under majority Muslim control, don't you dare expect reciprocity.
This is why Newt Gingrich's statement that there should be no consideration of a Ground Zero mosque until a Christian church or a synagogue is built next to the Kaaba is so instructive.
Islam is Islam and it's like no other religion, it will not broach a rival, ever. It is unreformed and remains stubbornly unenlightened as to the responsibilities of a major religion in the 21st century.
If imam Rauf is so concerned with religious freedom and acts of accommodation in this country, we suggest that he first concern himself with demonstrating his religion's claimed tolerance where Islam reigns supreme - Saudi Arabia - until then his alleged devotion to American constitutional principles rings as hollow as the hallways of the Saudi Ministry of Religious Affairs as they are closed off, slamming the doors to modernity.

Yep that’s the one!
These are half baked “solutions” that only address the immediate problem. Islam needs to be declared a dangerous ideology much like nazism by the government, stripped of its constitutional protections since it’s not really a religion but a doctrine of socio/political conquest, and made illegal. That, and only that, would stop this crap dead in its tracks. Anything else is just a band-aid on a gunshot wound.

It’s going to happen sometime - maybe soon - but it will be soon enough and in good time when it does.

If Christianity preached 1/1000th of the hate preached by Islam, there would be demonstrations in the streets in leftist cities all over America and Europe calling for it to be abolished.
I think they should leave a few around as museums to remind us what hell on earth looks like...
Plus I would have local governments sue every Mosque in their cities and towns for back taxes on the grounds that Islam is a political ideology masquerading as a religion and not protected by the 1st amendment. And it's ideology is particularly anti-american because it opposes the constitutional guarantees of republican government and equal protection of the law regardless of sex.
I didn’t read your post before I posted...WELL SAID !!
Mosques are staging grounds for barbaric killers.....
The law says, “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.”
BUT this doesn’t prohibit the citizens of the USA from opposing an undesirable and ruthless cult or religion that is totally opposite from the principles and rights our country is based on!
The serbians had tit right. The only way to win this religious war is to kill every last moslem. Men, women and children. Everyone infected with the plague of islam must be destroyed. Or at the very least quarentined in teh third world hellholes that they’ve made for themsleves and not allowed to leave.
Unfortunately the hadith commands the moslem to lie if he can gain advantage from it so we can’t even truts them if they say they’ve converted. Islam truly is a satanic religion
Mark Steyn has such a way with words!
Bring back Janet Reno and give them the Waco treatment!
“Islam is a political ideology masquerading as a religion and not protected by the 1st amendment.”
This statement needs to be memorized and stated over and over and over until it starts sinking in.
