STATE DEPT'S MUSLIM WEBSITE

How fortunate for ideologues that all they have to complain about are some State Dept. webpages honoring a valid religion's adherent's 1st Amendment right to the free exercise of their religion in America.

That's laughable. You think conservatives, especially social conservatives, only have ONE thing to not like about Bush? LOL. Good grief.

I wasn't aware that muslim countries were disallowing muslims to worship their religion of Islam? What country are they immigrating from that they have been denied their ability to worship?

One thing I am aware of is that bootlicking fascists have nothing on bigots.

[Blue Scourge]

I could care less about how valid their religion is. My deal is that it seems they are promoting it on a government webpage. If they were doing likewise with Christianity, Judaism and etc.. I wouldn't mind. But just Islam...tell me it isn't politically motivated.

[takenoprisoner]

At this juncture, especially after 911, and in light of the blood continually spilled by innocents in Israel right now as I post, I would like to bash them to eternity for ever and ever. Islam is a religion of terror and hate. So no, I do not want their religion of hate and terror here so one of their fanatics can blow up folks at the mall.

Besides, did you support the Davidians' right to their freedom of religion here in our country? Or did you applaud our govt when they blew them to smitherines? I'd wager you applauded.

[takenoprisoner]

I could care less about how valid their religion is.

No religion which promotes hate and terror could ever be considered "valid." Why CJ is attempting to validate a religion of hate and terror defies reason unless he is a muslim him/herself?

[takenoprisoner]

Well CJ, are you a muslim? Direct question seeking direct non illusive answer. Yes or no is all I am looking for.

[tpaine]

Don't hold your breath bump.

My deal is that it seems they are promoting it on a government webpage.

Considering that a fourth of the world's population adheres to the religion which is being honored (not promoted) on the State Department's website, and considering the fact that we, a predominantly-Christian country, were recently at war with a couple of predominantly-Muslim country, and considering that Osama bin Laden tried to turn our war against his terror into a war of Christendom upon Islam, and conversely, a war of Muslims against Christians, and considering that there are many American leftist-paleos who would gladly assist bin Laden in turning the war against terrorism into a war against a religion or a class or a civilization, hence the opposition to the informative webpage seems rash, or petty, or ill-informed, or misguided at best.

[metesky]

You say it, because I'll lose my temper with this guy.

[Cultural Jihad]

Well CJ, are you a muslim? Direct question seeking direct non illusive answer. Yes or no is all I am looking for.

Me? Just a priest in the Republikali temple. You are free to join. By all means consider me a Muslim in good standing if you wish to. A pious Jew would qualify as a good Muslim, too, and of course vice versa.

From the State department website the "gentle peace loving Muslim" proudly says:

"Islam is the fastest growing religion in this country, and there are many converts. Our mosque in Birmingham was about 80 percent blond, blue-eyed Americans. I never saw anything like it."

God help us...

[takenoprisoner]

What is that? Some sorta cross between an elephant and a human female that you are worshipping?

"It's Bush. Wake up, even if you like the guy."

Touche' again!

Lesse', I read about twenty articles posted today castigating Bush's current Middle East doctrine, a lot by any standard.

Guess we'll see if it all starts impacting the Administration's public stance in the next few days.

[Salem]

"Dear Sir, ... I see that our federal government seems to be promoting the religion of Islam:"

Good one! :-D

[RLK]

I'm genuinely curious. What would your IDEAL president be like? Do you have time for specifics?

--------------------------

The only serious mature intelligent person on the last presidential election's political scene was Alan Keyes. While I don't identify with his Catholocism, he was and continues to be a serious student of constitutional history and constitutional processes. He shows evidence of giving well-thought-out answers to questions. The man thinks. He is a man of diverse serious interests inncluding opera and classical guitar. He has integrity. He shows energy and curiosity rather than laziness. He is a self-made man rather than being coasting on family contacts and reputation. He is well-educated with a doctorate from a school that is adamently against his views. He approaches the quality of mind of a Madison, Franklin, or Jefferson.

Whether the nation is prepared to accept that quality of mind is a separate problem. If not, we will suffer accordingly, as we have done.

As far as the rest of the candidates, they belonged in a movie or a TV sitcom. For people raised on movies and sitcomes, that is subjectively adequate. It is not adaquate to remedy the problems in this country.

[Salem]

"...except for those native-born bigots who choose to bash their valid religion."

Bull. The last two years has put Islam under the microscope. Anybody can take the time to research the religion for themselves, instead of blindly calling those people "bigots" who have contended with Islam in the Arena of the War of Ideas and found it wanting.

Extremely so.

The only reason why we haven't had bombings on American streets by Islamic killers is because the Feds came down on them like a ton of bricks.
