It the duty of every muslim to convert by whatever means every man woman and child to islam. It's right there in their qu'ran. A moderate muslim is not a true follower of islam.
When a single muslim migrates to another country, it's really two migrating. The muslim and Allah. Throughout the Western world if politicians only stop and listen, up to two thirds do not want any more muslims in their countries. Let alone allowing them to build madrases and mosques in their mist. |

It is the duty of every Christian to convert by whatever means every man woman and child to Christianity. It's right there in their bible. A moderate Christian is not a true follower of Christianity.
When a single Christianity migrates to another country, it's really two migrating. The Christian and Jesus. |

When was the last time that a christian blew themselves up as well as whoever happened to be nearby?? Christianity is bad, but pales into insignificance compared to to this most vile of religions. At least their [christianity] leader didn't marry an eight year old and had sex with her when she turned nine.

To be fair, that´s wasn´t technically done for Christianity, only with the utmost conviction of Gott mit uns because, well, god is with whoever thinks so.
To paraphrase Pratchett (I think), no atrocity was ever committed with the conviction that god did not want it to happen. |

I could cite Christians who bomb abortion clinics and gay bars. But wait, that's not the same because the bombers did not kill themselves in the deadly attacks. Yes, Islam is much, much worse than Christianity because Islamic bombers kill themselves whereas Christian bombers don't.

Christianity has a lot of skeletons in it's closet, and I don't think we want to turn this into a who's killed the most infidels topic (because, frankly, I think xianity wins handsdown). Both religions have had horrible things done in its name, but its not fair to anyone to lump all the innocent, religious people with the murders. It's intellectually dishonest.

I don't buy the whole "It's none of our business" bit. I'm seeing Americans trying to interfere with the rights of other Americans for reasons I see as relating to bigotry. Whenever a majority tries to use their weight to oppress a minority and deny them rights they majority enjoys themselves, it's everyone's business to correct that.
Just my humble opinion. |

he's claiming that if a Muslim is not a terrorist, then it's really not a Muslim.

yes, many folks are indeed making this claim.
ALL Islam is extremist. Moderate Islam does not exist, and anyone who claims to be a moderate Muslim is either a liar or a fake Muslim. True Muslims, suport jihad and/or genocide of non-Muslims. This is their assertion. And it is disgusting. |

The latest polling in the States says that 31% of the population think Obama is a muslim. He isn't. But if he gets re-elected after one term it will be very surprising, even if he's against Sarah Palin.
Watch the carnage at the forthcoming congressional elections. Obama should have said he was against the building of this mosque from day one. 61 % of American are. Only 21% are for it. The rest don't know/care. |

Just read a newspaper article about the imam of the proposed mosque.
The guy is not just a moderate, he's a text-book, poster-boy moderate! He's involved in inter-faith dialog, writes pro-American books and is used for diplomatic missions to the Islamic world. And that last thing he has been doing during the Bush administration! The people who oppose this live in bizarro-world. And lemme guess, these are probably the same teabagger nutbars that usually think that the constitution is a thing of God-like perfection. Well, if they want to stop this thing, they better have the GOP propose a constitutional amendment prohibiting a specific religious group opening a house of worship within X miles from the location of a terrorist attack...or something. In the meantime: Dutch national embarrassment and hairstyling disaster, Geert Wilders will speak in NY against the opening of a mosque ON Ground Zero. I think I need a drink. |

" Your lord inspired the angels with the message: " I am with you. Give firmness to the believers. I will terrorize the unbelievers. Therefore smite them on their necks and every joint and incapacitate them. Strike off their heads and cut off each of their fingers and toes. "
Koran 8:12. ''Fight and kill the disbelievers wherever you find them, take them captive, harass them, lie in wait and ambush them using every stratagem of war. " Koran 9-5 " So fight them until there is no more Fitnah [disbelief non muslims] and all submit to the religion of allah alone in the whole world." Koran 8:39. Shall I go on? As for other proof that up to 80% of Westerners do not want any more muslims in their mist, check out the various polls that are sometimes published by brave newspapers who are not afraid of political correctness. |

Is this the very same Iman who is married to David Bowie? Bowie has made some very disturbing pro-fascist statements and gestures. I think we need answers to these questions before we allow this project to go forward.

This is from the Washington Post...........A new Time-SRBI poll found that 61% of Americans opposed building the center. Nearly twice as many people said the center, and the mosque inside it, would be an insult to 9/11 victims than said it would be a symbol of religious tolerance.
Democratic Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, facing a stiff re-election challemge, came out against the project after his Republican rival Sharron Angle pressed him on the issue. |

Let me introduce you to the Lord's Resistance Army.
I'll grant you that they don't use suicide bombers, but is really "murder, abduction, mutilation, sexual enslavement of women and children, and forcing children to participate in hostilities" much better if they don't do it by blowing themselves up? |

Ah.
So this "don't build the mosque" thing is an emotionally charged, knee-jerk reaction (without any forethought of tolerance or following of our own Consititution), by a bunch of political figures bent on either keeping their job or getting their side to win? Glad you cleared that up. |
