Obama Backs Mosque Near Ground Zero
FOXnews ^

Posted on 08/13/2010 5:54:30 PM PDT by fabrizio

WASHINGTON -- President Barack Obama on Friday forcefully endorsed building a mosque near ground zero, saying the country's founding principles demanded no less. "As a citizen, and as president, I believe that Muslims have the same right to practice their religion as anyone else in this country," Obama said, weighing in for the first time on a controversy that has riven New York and the nation. "That includes the right to build a place of worship and a community center on private property in lower Manhattan, in accordance with local laws and ordinances," he said. "This is America, and our commitment to religious freedom must be unshakable."

This was written by a woman born in Egypt as a Muslim.

This is not hearsay, and it will scare the life out of you.


Joys of Muslim Women - by Nonie Darwish

In the Muslim faith a Muslim man can marry a child as young as 1 year old and have sexual intimacy with this child. Consummating the marriage by 9.

The dowry is given to the family in exchange for the woman (who becomes his slave) and for the purchase of the private parts of the woman, to use her as a toy.

Even though a woman is abused she can not obtain a divorce.

To prove rape, the woman must have (4) male witnesses.

Often after a woman has been raped, she is returned to her family and the family must return the dowry.

The family has the right to execute her (an honour killing) to restore the honour of the family.

Husbands can beat their wives ‘at will’ and he does not have to say why he has beaten her.

The husband is permitted to have (4 wives) and a temporary wife for an hour (prostitute) at his discretion.

The Sharia Muslim law controls the private as well as the public life of the woman.

In the West World ( America ) Muslim men are starting to demand Sharia Law so the wife can not obtain a divorce and he can have full and complete control of her.

It is amazing and alarming how many of our sisters and daughters attending American Universities are now marrying Muslim men and submitting themselves and their children unsuspectingly to the Sharia law.

By passing this on, enlightened American women may avoid becoming a slave under Sharia Law.

Ripping the West in Two: Author and lecturer Nonie Darwish says the goal of radical Islamists is to impose Sharia law on the world, ripping Western law and liberty in two. She recently authored the book, “Cruel and Usual Punishment”: The Terrifying Global Implications of Islamic Law.

Darwish was born in Cairo and spent her childhood in Egypt and Gaza before immigrating to America in 1978, when she was eight years old. Her father died while leading covert attacks on Israel . He was a high-ranking Egyptian military officer stationed with his family in Gaza . When he died, he was considered a “shahid,” a martyr for jihad. His posthumous status earned Nonie and her family an elevated position in Muslim society.

But Darwish developed a sceptical eye at an early age. She questioned her own Muslim culture and upbringing.. She converted to Christianity after hearing a Christian preacher on television.

In her latest book, Darwish warns about creeping Sharia law - what it is, what it means, and how it is manifested in Islamic countries.

For the West, she says radical Islamists are working to impose Sharia on the world. If that happens, Western civilization will be destroyed. Westerners generally assume all religions encourage a respect for the dignity of each individual. Islamic law (Sharia) teaches that non-Muslims should be subjugated or killed in this world. Peace and prosperity for one’s children is not as important as assuring that Islamic law rules everywhere in the Middle East and eventually in the world.

While Westerners tend to think that all religions encourage some form of the golden rule, Sharia teaches two systems of ethics - one for Muslims and another for non-Muslims. Building on tribal practices of the seventh century, Sharia encourages the side of humanity that wants to take from and subjugate others.

While Westerners tend to think in terms of religious people developing a personal understanding of and relationship with God, Sharia advocates executing people who ask difficult questions that could be interpreted as criticism.

It’s hard to imagine, that in this day and age, Islamic scholars agree that those who criticize Islam or choose to stop being Muslim should be executed. Sadly, while talk of an Islamic reformation is common and even assumed by many in the West, such murmurings in the Middle East are silenced through intimidation.

While Westerners are accustomed to an increase in religious tolerance over time, Darwish explains how petro dollars are being used to grow an extremely intolerant form of political Islam in her native Egypt and elsewhere.

(In twenty years there will be enough Muslim voters in the U.S. to elect the President by themselves! Rest assured they will do so... You can look at how they have taken over several towns in the USA .. Dearborn Mich. is one... And there are others...)

I think everyone in the U.S - or anywhere - should be required to read this, but with the ACLU, there is no way this will be widely publicized, unless each of us sends it on!

It is too bad that so many are disillusioned with life and Christianity to accept Muslims as peaceful. Some may be but they have an army that is willing to shed blood in the name of Islam.. the peaceful support the warriors with their finances and own kind of patriotism to their religion.

While America is getting rid of Christianity from all public sites and erasing God from the lives of children the Muslims are planning a great jihad on America .

This is your chance to make a difference...!

For a long time, I have noticed that the decor at the White House has changed since BHO moved in. The Oval Office is now stripped of the traditional red, white, and blue, and replaced with middle eastern wallpaper, drapes, and decor. The hallway that he walks out of to talk to the press now has middle eastern chairs, drapes, etc.

And the thing that has bothered me the most is the bright yellow drape behind him every time he speaks from the white house. It has Arabic symbols on it and has been there from the beginning.

Today I received this and it clearly shows what I have been noticing. That bright yellow curtain is highly visible, but as you scroll down, you will see what is predominantly absent. Also, as you look at the pictures of other presidents speaking from the same spot, look at the traditional 'American' background and decor as opposed to the new decor. Trust me when I say that this is intentional. It should alarm every American.

What is missing at Barack Hussein Obama's press conference?

No, it is not the teleprompters. See the other president's pics for a clue.

BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA (aka BARRY SOETORO)

mmmmm mmmm mmmm

No US Flags... hmmmmm

I agree. The difference is that Christianity is a religion, and the other is NOT!

Not to my knowledge. I called the guy that sent the email to me and he said his friend was the one that looked up all the stuff about the existing mosques and the activity in NYC. I had done a quick scan around looking for some claim that they were photoshopped or something before I originally posted them about 2-3 weeks ago and didn’t see any stories to that effect. So as far as I know, they are legitimate recordings of activities in NYC on a regular basis.

It is a good thing that this wretched little man Obama has now been smoked out on the issue. Should cost him and his party even more support.

I’m thinking they believe it will not hurt them that badly. Certainly here in the People’s Republic of New York where the drones are going to return both Obama sycophant senators Schumer and Gillibrand, and install ACORN’s favorite HUD secretary Andrew Cuomo as governor, and where Obama enjoys an approval rating close to 60%, these statements aren’t hurting at all. That’s the scary part for me.

Not exactly surprising for the most clueless, out-of-touch idiot unfortunately in the most powerful position in the world.

Your right about New York ... although this will not help Obama in 2012. It wont hurt Comrades Schummer or Gillibrand in 2010.

But the rest of America is pretty fed up I think. New York - California - Massachusetts are not what I would think are representative of what the rest of the States are thinking at this point.

It is an appropriate place to put it!
Thanks, my FRiend.

In a nutshell.

Sorry Barry, you just screwed your party, they are now officially DOA. Yes, this is America, and yes we do respect freedom of religion. However, the vast majority of Americans also have something called ‘respect for the dead’. It’s one thing for Muslims to build a mosque, it’s a completely different thing when the members of the religion that was responsible for 2000 deaths wanting to build a mosque within walking distance of those people’s graves/memorial.

Thanks 444, the name of the mosque adds another layer of concern. She was visiting Ronda, Spain during her trip, which is only a couple of hours away from Cordoba.
