It is the sign of desperation to try to compare self-avowed enemies of the country and a handful of domestic looneys.

Naw. It's a sign of desperation to try and make the ridiculous argument that millions of people around the world, in multiple countries - including millions of your fellow Americans - are no different from Al-Quaeda terrorists just because they they share the grossest broad generality of being of, "the same religion"

Once again, Muslims have every right to put a mosque there. All muslims aren't terrorists. But Muslim terrorists did create ground zero in the name of Islam which is why there is outrage at the mosques location.

Spin away...

But we arent talking about millions around the world. We are talking about one specific site which was created by muslim terrorists hence the push against the mosques location. Trying to say that everyone who is against the site is racist or believes all muslims to be terrorists is typical drivel.

Since when does freedom of religion extend the right to practice said religion any location they want? So if i run out on the field at a Phillies game but carry a prayer rug they will stop the game so I can pray to mecca and won't tase me? This has little to do with freedom of religion. It has a lot to do with the location of a building. That and an attempt (quite successful I might add) to garner as much publicity as possible.

You can call me all the names that you want. Especially when they hardly fit.



dis·in·gen·u·ous–adjective
lacking in frankness, candor, or sincerity; falsely or hypocritically ingenuous; insincere


Think of me as you may but there are few situations in which I do not speak frankly, without candor or with no sincerity. Actually I would probably be considered too "genuous" if anything.

Fail.

A really huge "if." Christians don't commonly recite the Bible while they blow up a building full of innocent Muslims. It's not really a part of Christ's teachings. On the other hand, Mo beheaded 600-900 men who had already surrendered to him. so, it's not that hard to see where Muslims would behead a Jew that they'd kidnapped. Their prophet had it done in front of him at least 600 times in one night.

I'm done. You boys carry on trying to deny your fellow Americans their right to practice their religion, because you don't like it.

I think when a prophet tells members of the group to kill those leaving the group, then it should be recognized as a hate group. If they don't want to be known as a hate group, then they should make it known that they disagree with their prophet. You demand freedom of religion for Muslims, but Muslims don't even believe in freedom of religion for Muslims.

I don't have to demand freedom of religion for Muslims. They already have that in the US.

The "hate group" doesn't seen to be Muslim.

Really? If the religion allows them to be killed for leaving Islam, are they really free to leave Islam? You don't seem very interested in making sure they truly have religious freedom. See, many Americans feel this religion quietly supports ignoring our laws, but they want the protection (our laws provide) when it favors their goals. We have freedom of religion here, but that also would require a religion to allow members to choose another religion (if they so choose.) See, the very thing you say you're fighting for (religious freedom) is something this religion lacks (to begin with.) You're demanding religious freedom for people who don't believe in religious freedom. You see American Muslims getting bent about non-Muslims having to avoid eating (in public) during the day? Huh? They aren't real upset about that being the case in Muslim dominated countries. Nope. American Muslims don't give a crap about the lack of religious freedom during Ramadan in Egypt etc. To me, their thirst for religious freedom is pretty limited to when it favors their goals.....only!

Oh? You don't like that someone actually documents the lack of religious freedom that islam supports. I'm shocked. Simply shocked that you'd attack the messenger. This religion is full of hate for non-Muslims. So, yes, the sites are hate sites. They document the hate in that religion.

Really? Anybody remember when our Gov't had to beg the leader of Afghanistan to save the life of a Moslem who converted to Christianity? That wasn't Taliban, or Al Quaeda. It was just considered normal Islam in Afghanistan. American Moslems wanting protection of our laws should come out against these things that our laws don't allow. Otherwise, they are just seen as Moslem Hypocrites (wanting their cake n' eat it, too.) That's really what's going on in this case. They want to use our laws to force a Mosque be allowed 2 blocks from the 9/11 site, but they also wont come out against the practices in Islam that are against American Laws.

Months ago now, I brought you the facts of "taquiyya" in an effort to expose the tactics of this 'religion of peace'. I'm so tired of this strawman bogus crap...it is you and a few others who continually DONT look at the Facts of this religions' sworn aims,attitudes and actions! Put your head in the sand if you must, but dont tell me that I misrepresent the religion of Islam,or their fanatics.

Obama is taking heat because he is like a captain lost at sea who seems more concerned with the stowaways than he does for the passengers who have paid and is ignoring 1rst class, the people who basically paid for the ship completely. :)

the law of the land is the constitution, which is he upholding. i know what he has pointed out is unpopular, yet it is not incorrect. i'm not quite sure what you mean about who is he more concerned with. twist your logic as you will, the fact remains that those who wish to build this center have every right to build it.

it might start with the fact they own the property.

people look at this county and want to live here. we're supposed to stand for something here. people think they can come here for a better life, we're supposed to be almost a utopia. but because a fringe group of radical nutjobs did a horrific thing, no one who has a tie to the religion that group was supposedly practicing can live in peace? worship the way they wish? are you saying that a religion who has a criminal element should all be tarred with the same brush? should we tail all catholic priests, assuming they all have nefarious plans? if you say they have a right, i'm not quite sure why you're still arguing this point at all? because the majority is having a kneejerk, bigoted reaction, that makes it right? it's why you're supposed to use logic, not feelings. now, if osama bin laden wanted to build a place for his followers a couple blocks from ground zero, i can see having an issue. people not breaking the law and wanting to practice their religion peacably should be left alone. my god, we sound like hateful religions zealots on this issue-you know like the enemy...some righteous line being taken on this matter, it's embarrassing. are we not smart enough to know where a line is crossed? building a mosque is crossing a line?

by these statements, i see you didn't bother to go to the links i posted that show all the islamic statements by people in this country, as well as others, who spoke out against the terrorist attacks.
as for not agreeing with their religion-so don't convert to islam. allowing that building two blocks from the tower site won't cause conversions, it doesn't break any laws, and it won't protect anyone who happens to be islam who chooses to break a law. your discomfort with their religion doesn't mean they aren't free to practice it.
our laws, our guaranteed rights are for everyone, not just those deemed popular, not just those approved with a majority. it's why free speech is allowed, not just unobjectionable free speech.

They hate us because we support Isreal. that is the #1 reason. but the countries are so poor, dont have anything to offer, corrupt governments.. that they use the Muslim religion to recruit new members who are easily brainwashed.

A telling Obama interview that gets no exposure

“I was a little Jakarta street kid,” he said in a wide-ranging interview in his office (excerpts are on my blog, www.nytimes.com/ontheground). He once got in trouble for making faces during Koran study classes in his elementary school, but a president is less likely to stereotype Muslims as fanatics — and more likely to be aware of their nationalism — if he once studied the Koran with them.

Mr. Obama recalled the opening lines of the Arabic call to prayer, reciting them with a first-rate accent. In a remark that seemed delightfully uncalculated (it’ll give Alabama voters heart attacks), Mr. Obama described the call to prayer as “one of the prettiest sounds on Earth at sunset.” OMG ever hear it?:zz:

Moreover, Mr. Obama’s own grandfather in Kenya was a Muslim. Mr. Obama never met his grandfather and says he isn’t sure if his grandfather’s two wives were simultaneous or consecutive, Nice

or even if he was Sunni or Shiite.

I dont have a problem with this. Its obvious that Obama isnt really a religious guy.. which is one thing I think is great.

I dont have a problem with Muslims building Mosque's in the USA either. I also believe the ground zero Mosque is incredibly insensitive.

Hate to break the bubble but Obama gave these statements in another interview. Of course this wasn't at a Muslim breakfast.

NEWSWEEK: Do you and Michelle talk to your girls about having a God? Jesus?
Obama: Well, we do, but we don't have a systematic course of study for the girls. We say grace at the table. They are inquiring minds, so whenever they have a question about God or faith, then I have a conversation with them … I'm a big believer in a faith that is not imposed but taps into what's already there, their curiosity or their spirit.

You used to travel with your Bible. Do you still do that?
Sometimes, because my briefcase gets so packed, I forget to pack it, but I often have my Bible with me. It's something that I read in the evenings and it takes me out of the immediacy of my day and gives me a point of reflection.

What do you think about the Kingdom of God? Is it attainable on Earth by humans?
I am a big believer in not just words, but deeds and works. I don't believe that the Kingdom of God is achievable on Earth without God's intervention, and without God's return through Jesus Christ, but I do believe in improvement

Do you pray in your personal life?
Yes, I do.

Daily?
Yeah, every day.

I'd argue that's more religious than 90% of Americans

Princess Doreen 08-16-2010 09:35 AM

No one is arguing the premise of religious freedom. But simply asked, "Why there."

We're supposed to be sensitive, but where is the sensitivity in return?!

NYC is a union town. NOTHING gets done without a union doing it. Doubt they'll find any union willing to work on that project. But the illustrious mayor (who got himself a 3rd term and will probably lobby for a 4th) will probably spearhead some law that will allow non-union workers to build that mosque. Then watch WWIII on the streets of NYC. NYC union workers are not to be messed with.

PrezzBO would do best to stay out of it. We know what The First Amendment is all about - he doesn't need to preach or remind us of it. He has opened up a political donnybrook with every candidate in November feeling it necessary to weigh in the subject. National poll shows 65% of population not in favor of having the mosque where the Iman proposes.
