Drudge Retort: Red Meat for Yellow Dogs
Thursday, August 26, 2010

Aman Ali and Bassam Tariq are spending Ramadan on a 12,000-mile road trip, visiting mosques across America and writing about their experiences on 30 Mosques in 30 Days. They made a stop last week in Jacksonville at the Islamic Center of Northeast Florida on the city's southside. "Ramadan is a month to bring people together," they write.

I went with a friend (who's taking a Religious Studies class, and needed to go for "diversity") to a mosque in NM recently.

An older gentleman was great, very friendly. A white Muslim, who was a math professor at the local university was there, being the ambassador for outside visitors, and was nice enough. The other 100 males ignored us (ALL appeared to be Arabic--a small and unusual contingent for the area); I don't know WHERE the handful of women I knew went.

Few people were on time; it was almost as if they were supposed to slowly trickle in over 45 minutes...until the final prayer where everyone did their final "thing" with the up, down, up, down...like on a PBS special. 3 kids came alive and came sprinting in at that point--the first real sign of zeal from anyone.

The message was SHOCKING to me: it focused on how prayer and visits to the local mosque were given added benefits. One visit to the mosque was equal to 40 days fasting. One hour spent in prayer then was equal to 7 days reading to Quran, stuff like that. It was sooooo much like desperate Catholic priests trying to "sell" their religion, I honestly couldn't believe it.

For a huge room of guys, I expected a manlier message; it was pathetic. My impression from that mosque, if it represents Islam en masse, is that I am not concerned about Islam spreading AT ALL.

Quite a different experience than that of the thin-skinned Muslim who, when discussing Jesus and Mohammad with me, said "You mother____er! I will _______ kill you!!!!" while he started coming at me.

If you're as disgusted as I am by the round-the-clock media narrative that Muslims are anti-American subversives who attend "terror mosques," check out Ali and Tariq's excellent adventure.

I think part that should be added to the narrative is the that Muslims also have this bullshit attitude of "why us?" for why they're getting fucked with lately in this country. Oh... gee... I don't know, maybe because of the thousands of Americans killed by muslims through cowardly acts of terrorism spanning decades. Maybe that has something to do with it... might also have something to do with the state of Islam in the Middle East and Asia and a few European nations.

Nah, never mind... everyone's just gone crazy, it has nothing to do with Islam.

Look at the rules for Women when going into this mosque. What the fuck? Why are we supposed to be so tolerant of a religion that treats women like shit? "Only face and hands may be exposed." Fuck you. Its about time Muslims caught some shit in this country.

"Its about time Muslims caught some shit in this country."

Oh, you mean the era of Muslim immunity from insults, prejudice and violence is over??? That taxi driver in NY didn't get the memo.

3: But I want you to understand that the head of every man is Christ, the head of a woman is her husband, and the head of Christ is God. 4 Any man who prays or prophesies with his head covered dishonors his head, 5: but any woman who prays or prophesies with her head unveiled dishonors her head -- it is the same as if her head were shaven. 6: For if a woman will not veil herself, then she should cut off her hair; but if it is disgraceful for a woman to be shorn or shaven, let her wear a veil. 7: For a man ought not to cover his head, since he is the image and glory of God; but woman is the glory of man. 8: (For man was not made from woman, but woman from man. 9: Neither was man created for woman, but woman for man.) 10: That is why a woman ought to have a veil on her head, because of the angels.

I worked with a Mormon once, the way he treated his wife reminded me of the way Rob describes Muslims. She wasn't even allowed to shop for her own clothes. I don't know if that is representative of all Mormons, I sort of doubt it, but most religions have extreme cults which are offshoots from more reasonable, more modern thinking churches.

Rob - You're reading comprehension skills have really taken a sharp nosedive. While Danni's more than capable of answering for herself, yours is the kind of distortion encountered far too often on the DR (and elsewhere). Here's what Danni wrote:

The guy on that page [I believe a FaceBook page posted by Oohrah] appears to be a soldier working for the UN.

She never said the guy who's charged with the attack was a soldier. Perhaps you might want to offer her an apology for distorting what she said? You certainly owe her one.

I've been going to Catholic churches for over 30 years and I've never seen a sign posted outside to tell women that they are second class in the church. I've lived in numerous states and cities too, so its not like I've only been a member of one church.

We're told over and over and over about how this is not the true face of Islam, and blah blah blah... but here we have 2 jerkoffs riding around the south and they make a last second decision to change their route and BAM! They find an intolerant hateful Mosque. If this shit were as rare as Libs say then it seems pretty unlikely they would run smack dab into this mosque.

In the link above I loved how the CNN reporters were kicked out of the mosque and that wasn't discussed. These shitty rules for women were posted on the door and that wasn't discussed. But the cop that pulled them over is discussed in depth, and clearly he was just some racist southern pig.

I was a blue helmet, that's what I associated it with so sue me Rob.

Rabbinic law based on the authority of the torah, expressed or inferred, affixes death by stoning to eighteen crimes.

1. Bestiality committed by man (Lev. xx. 15; Sanh. vii. 4, 54b; Sifra, Ḳedoshim, x. 1; Mek., Mishpaṭim, 17).
2. Bestiality committed by woman (Lev. xx. 16: Sanh. vii. 4, 54b; Sifra, Ḳedoshim, x. 3; Mek., Mishpaṭim, 17).
3. Blasphemy (Lev. xxiv. 16; Sanh. vii. 4, 43a; Sifra, Emor, xix.).
4. Criminal conversation with a betrothed virgin (Deut. xxii. 23, 24; Sanh. vii. 4, 66b; Sifre, Deut. 242).
5. Criminal conversation with one's own daughter-in-law (Lev. xx. 12; Sanh. vii. 4, 53a; Sifra, Ḳedoshim, ix. 13).
6. Criminal conversation with one's own mother (Lev. xviii. 7, xx. 11; Sanh. vii. 4, 53a; Sifra, Ḳedoshim, ix. 12).
7. Criminal conversation with one's own stepmother (Lev. xviii. 8, xx. 11; Sanh. vii. 4, 53a; Sifra, Ḳedoshim, ix. 12).
8. Cursing a parent (Lev. xx. 9; Sanh. vii. 4, 66a; Mek., Mishpaṭim, 17; Sifra, Ḳedoshim, ix. 7).
9. Enticing individuals to idolatry: "Mesit" (Deut. xiii. 7–12 [A. V. 6–11]; Sanh. vii. 4, 67a; Sifre, Deut. 90).
10. Idolatry (Deut. xvii. 2–7; Sanh. vii. 4, 60b; Sifre, Deut. 149).
11. Instigating communities to idolatry: "Maddiaḥ" (Deut. xiii. 2–6 [A. V. 1–5]; Sanh. vii. 4, 67a; Sifre, Deut. 86).
12. Necromancy (Lev. xx. 27; Sanh. vii. 4, 65a; Sifra, Ḳedoshim, xi., end).
13. Offering one's own children to Molech (Lev. xx. 2; Sanh. vii. 4, 64a; Sifra, Ḳedoshim, viii., parashah 10, beginning).
14. Pederasty (Lev. xx. 13; Sanh. vii. 4, 54a; Sifra, Ḳedoshim, ix. 14), and sexual activity between men (Lev. iii, 18:22)[9].
15. Rebelling against parents (Deut. xxi. 18–21; Sanh. vii. 4, 68b; Sifre, Deut. 220).
16. Shabbath-breaking (Num. xv. 32–36; Sanh. vii. 4; Sifre, Num. 114).
17. Witchcraft (Ex. xxii. 17 [A. V. 18]; Sanh. vii. 4, 67a; Mek., Mishpaṭim, 17).

Do contemporary Jews carry out these weird injunctions? No. Do all Muslims endorse stoning? I don't think so.

C'mon folks, get a freakin' grip.

My Grandpa is a minister for a Church of Latter Day Saints otherwise known as Mormons and his wife pretty much runs the house. It is those that have been forced to practice polygamy in secret that usually end up treating their wives in such a manner to prevent them from talking about the multiple wives many of which are taken at a young age to ensure their obedience and compliance. When polygamy was openly practiced this was much less likely the case.

"I've been going to Catholic churches for over 30 years and I've never seen a sign posted outside to tell women that they are second class in the church."

Let's see, now, when I went to Mass (fairly) regularly, many women sat together with their heads veiled. (Read St. Paul if you want to get some background on that one.) We don't even need to get into the women-can't-be-priests business, do we?

You're overwrought, Rob.

Holy shit Doc grow a pair. Fine, Danni did you ever go back to the thread after insinuating that the alleged attacker was a soldier and turned out to be incorrect? And were you aware that the film student and alleged attacker worked for/volunteered for a group that is partnered with the Cordoba Initiative?

Holy shit, Rob, calm down and stop screaming like Janet Leigh in the "Psycho" shower scene, for chrissakes.

Guess that means Rob can't quite man himself up enough to apologize for lying about what Danni said on the other thread.

Entirely predictable.

We don't even need to get into the women-can't-be-priests business, do we?

Oh, I think we do. Not being allowed to be priests tells women in the Catholic church they are second-class citizens every day.

Let's see, now, when I went to Mass (fairly) regularly, many women sat together with their heads veiled.

I've never seen this and just off the top of my head I've been a member of at least 15 RC Churches. Its not a rule, its not even a suggestion in our churches.

Yes there are some bullshit rules for women written in the bible from thousands of years ago, but unlike Muslims, we don't follow those rules anymore. You can quote all you want about "wives be subservient to your husbands" bullshit, but sorry that's just not doctrine of the church anymore.

Yeah, women can't be priests and I would want that changed too, but I think that's a far cry from women aren't allowed to show anything but their eyes and fingertips.

And why is that? Why can't women show any part of their body, or have to be draped in a black sheet with eye holes cut out? Are Muslim men incapable of controlling themselves?

I don't think the posted dress code for women equals treating them "like shit". I wouldn't want to belong to a religion that had one set of rules for men and another for women, but many do. I grew up Catholic and they don't allow female priests.

In the link above I loved how the CNN reporters were kicked out of the mosque and that wasn't discussed.

You're nitpicking. A lot of places would ask reporters to leave who showed up unannounced. As for the rules not being discussed, they are practicing Muslims. The gender rules you think are a big deal may not be a big deal to them.

No, actually you nitpicked my post. I was saying that I loved how obvious criticisms of the mosque and imam were ignored but went really in depth into this cop with the obvious overtones of the racist southern cop wrongfully pulling over two Muslims and treating them like terrorists.

"So you are fine with the way Muslims treat women?'

Which Muslims, where, and what treatment?

Unlike you, Rob, I find some practices of some people in some places reprehensible but I don't take the next step down Looney Lane -- where you've not only taken a step but run serpentine down the road -- and condemn an entire religion for it.

And my point is these two guys made a decision to change their course to Mobile instead of Birmingham and happened to stumble across a mosque that treats women like shit. If its so rare, wouldn't they have been more likely to find a tolerant and moderate mosque?

If you go into an Orthodox Jewish temple today, in 2010, and you are a woman- you must cover your hair if married AND the men and women will be separated.

At the reception of an Orthodox Jewish Wedding- the men dance with men and the women dance with women. They are forbidden from mingling.

There are Jewish Neighborhoods in New York that, if you dare drive a car through them on a Saturday, your car will be stoned.

Every faith has their fucked up extremists.

Yes there are some bullshit rules for women written in the bible from thousands of years ago, but unlike Muslims, we don't follow those rules anymore.

There are plenty of Muslims who don't follow rigid dress codes, and some Christians and Jews who follow rules you might find offensive. I had a friend I worked with who was an orthodox Jew. His wife shaved her head and wore a wig called a sheitel.

Many Muslims here will stop following a lot of rules for the same reason it has happened to Christians and Jews -- Western society liberalizes a lot of religious people. Muslims are likely to experience the same thing as they grow in the U.S. There will be orthodox ones who follow very strict rules and liberal ones who don't.

I don't know. And, of course, neither do you.

I've been among people belonging to all sorts of religions. Some of them are good people. Some of them not. Some of the beliefs nutty, others not so nutty. And, frankly, I'm not aware of any religion that stands heads and shoulders above any other when it comes to much of anything.

You need to get out more, Rob. See a bit more of the world. It might help with your maturation process, because in that you're quite clearly deficient.

TO which I'd offer a slight amendment.

For the most part, I've found when it comes to religion most of the Hopis, Navajos, Zunis, Lakotas, Cheyennes, Arapahos, Crows, and Shoshonis with whom I've had the good fortune to become acquainted refreshing, to say the least. They freely borrow what they like from other religions, don't insist they've got a monopoly on The Truth, never proselytize, and never wage religious warfare.

Which ones on the global scale of violence and repression like Islam?

Global scale? Historical scale? Meaningless. Let's say 5% crazy in all faiths. 5% crazy Jews is maybe 25,000. 5% crazy Baptists is about 100,000. 5% crazy Muslims is about 500,000.

I could explain it but, well, ......... Matt. 7:6

Well, I mean, life is sacred? Who said so? God? Hey, if you read history, you realize that God is one of the leading causes of death -- has been for thousands of years. Hindus, Muslims, Jews, Christians, all taking turns killing each other because God told them it was a good idea. The sword of God, the blood of the lamb, vengeance is mine, millions of dead motherfuckers, all because they gave the wrong answer to the God question: "Do you believe in God?" "No." Boom! Dead. "Do you believe in God?" "Yes..." "Do you believe in my God?" "No." Boom! Dead. "My god has a bigger dick than your god!"

I have a Bachelors degree and am working on my MBA...

I know its fun to think that everyone ragging on Islam and Muslims is just some backwater hick living in his trailer that knows nothing of the world, but sorry that's just not the case.

Many of us are tired of decades of attacks, many of us see how the majority of Muslims treat women, gays, other religions, foreigners, etc and are disgusted by it.

You writing off any criticisms of Muslims as bigotry or trying to find comparable archaic rules in Christianity doesn't excuse the way Muslims behave.

Here (once again) is my explanation for different faiths, but still the same G-d.

We are all different. We have different understandings of things and different motivations for doing them. Some of us require reward to motivated us while others need a fear of punishment. Some can live life with few rules while others need structure to feel secure. G-d understands this which is why there are so many faiths. Don't look at the various texts- G-d is not an author.

You know right and wrong: it is the playground rules.

Do you think the Middle East would be more tolerant of gays and more secular if it was Christian instead of Muslim? There are countries all over the world where it's not safe to be openly gay, and many of them are non-Muslim. It was not safe to be openly gay across the U.S. 40 years ago.

Parts of the Muslim world are mired in medievalism. That is not true of the U.S., so the Muslims who practice their faith here will be as susceptible to liberalizing Western influences as Christians and Jews.

The reason people think you are not worldly is ridiculous statements like this. We've already addressed it. You're just looking for reasons to dog Muslims that you would not apply to Christians or Jews.

At least name some Western Kansas town as intolerant (with no evidence)

that would fit your biggotted stereotyping behavior better.

Ok, I'll let you off the hook. your bigotry is your problem and we'll leave it at that.

It is pathetic to compare a group of hicks to a global religion that has a pronounced intolerance of homosexuality.

But what is funny is that it is a bunch of libs who are making this argument.

LOL

I haven't read this book yet -- hope to, soon -- but it sounds both interesting and relevant to this and related threads:

Eliza Griswold, The Tenth Parallel: Dispatches from the Fault Line Between Christianity and Islam (www.amazon.com).

Evidently, Griswold deals with religion (given the title she'd have to). Yet she sees more than religion at play here. According to a review in the NYT:

...Griswold investigates through individual lives rather than caricatures or abstractions. In this tropical region where monsoons and jungles give way to desert, she looks at how history, resources, climate and demographic trends have combined with and shaped the struggle among religions. Because of both population growth and the explosion of Christianity in Africa in the last half-century, nearly a fourth of the world's Christians now live south of the 10th parallel, alongside Muslims who are migrating from the north to escape creeping desertification. All along this fault line, struggles over valuable resources like oil, lumber and minerals add to the volatile mix.
www.nytimes.com

"Ok, I'll let you off the hook..."

And that, boys and girls, is what's known as "moving the goalposts." Inexpertly, clumslily, with no grace, but moving the goalposts all the same. You see, kids, Eberly asked that one place in Kansas where such-and-such might take place be named. He got two. But since that wasn't the answer he wanted, he just changed the question.

Eberly, you should hook up with Special Eddie.

Andthat, boys and girls, is what's called "irony."

A man yelled gay slurs and attacked another man with a piece of wood Friday night outside a drug store in Kansas City.
www.kansascity.com

not that it matters but that address is on the Missouri side.

I'd also like people to acknowledge the current state of Islam on a global scale is really fucked up.

There is a difference between "the current state of Islam on a global scale" (whatever that means) and individual practicing Moslims. I've told this story before, but it seems pertinent to mention it again:

Many years ago, I spent a summer with a boyfriend who was stationed at the airbase in Biloxi. I occupied some of my free time by tutoring two women from Saudi Arabia, whose husbands were also stationed at the airbase as part of a military exchange program. Among other things, I used to take the two woman to the library in Gulfport to pick up books for them to read. "Just us?" they asked before the first trip. "Just us," I said.

One day--at the beginning of Ramadan, I think--they shared a meal with me. I enjoyed the food, which as I recall was served out of a communal bowl and eaten without utensils. The thing I remember best, however, was our final conversation. Both women were hoping to learn how to drive and had just about convinced their husbands that they should be allowed to do so. They told me they would miss me, and one woman said, "We are like sisters." When I asked them what they thought about America, she opened her arms and said, "I love America. In America, I am free."

I have often wondered what happened to them--if they learned how to drive and how they fared when they returned to their own country, where "just us" taking a jaunt to the local library was out of the question. One thing I am certain of, however, is that whatever "the current state of Islam on a global scale" is, not every individual practicing Muslim is buying into it. I also hope like hell they aren't buying into the notion that all Americans are anti-Islamic.

He got two.

The reason people think you are not worldly is ridiculous statements like this. We've already addressed it. You're just looking for reasons to dog Muslims that you would not apply to Christians or Jews.

#65 | POSTED BY RCADE

I've traveled a lot and NEVER come across a Christian church that treates women like this (besides the priest thing).

I'm married to a Jewish girl and never been to a synagogue that treats women like this (though in this case I've probably only been to 5-10 synagogues)

The reason you guys are trying to portray those dogging Muslims as "not worldly" or uneducated is because then you can easily dismiss any points made without having to address them.

I'd like to know what churches you have been to that treated women so poorly? Name of the parish, city and state please.

But what is funny is that it is a bunch of libs who are making this argument.

It's not that odd. I think most liberals treat all religions the same, whether it's to have contempt for all of them or to hold them all to the same standard.

My personal rule is to give every mainstream religion as much -- or as little -- respect as I give Scientology.

When doc has no argument, he just throws out words like "limbaugh/dittohead/ beck and now "Eddie".

truly pathetic.

I only challenged Richard to show some examples of homosexuals being beaten in Kansas (it's happened I'm sure but he doesn't know of any).

Both women were hoping to learn how to drive and had just about convinced their husbands that they should be allowed to do so.

Well here's hoping these Muslim women were finally able to convince their husbands that they should be allowed to sit in drivers seat of a vehicle.

Nah, its not a fucked up group of people at all.

It's not that odd. I think most liberals treat all religions the same,

.....with contempt.

And the comparisons I have challenged are the ones that have nothing to do with Religion but rather just picking on a group of people, point to them and accuse them of being hateful just because of where they live.

libs are pulling their skirts up too high this morning and revealing WAY too much.

he just throws out words like "limbaugh/dittohead/ beck and now "Eddie".

That's the strategy of the whole here though Eb... if its not calling us "dittoheads" then we're bigots or we're racists.

Notice there are few if any actually defending or refuting the things said by Muslims. Its either, "Yeah well Christianity blah blah blah blah," or "you're a bigot hick." Because then they're hoping the conversation will change to that.

Its a tactic and a shitty one at that... just don't buy into it.

A few thoughts from Tosser!

[Rcade....]

Many Muslims here will stop following a lot of rules for the same reason it has happened to Christians and Jews -- Western society liberalizes a lot of religious people.

So you are implying that Western society is the only hope for over 1.6 billion Muslims in the world?

Why not Chinese society? (just saying)

I have not been exposed to "western society MTV rap music culture" and I turned out fine.. without a beard... and so did all the girls I've ever known, NONE of whom have worn veils or such.

[Asshole Robby...]

I have a Bachelors degree and am working on my MBA...

I know its fun to think that everyone ragging on Islam and Muslims is just some backwater hick living in his trailer that knows nothing of the world

So you are into those home study diplomas?

They do deliver mail in your trailer park, yes?

Many of us are tired of decades of attacks, many of us see how the majority of Muslims treat women, gays, other religions, foreigners, etc and are disgusted by it.

Why are you disgusted by something that is going be in your future?

You should learn more about it and try to accept it.

[Rcade....]

Do you think the Middle East would be more tolerant of gays and more secular if it was Christian instead of Muslim?

Hell no.

Parts of the Muslim world are mired in medievalism. That is not true of the U.S.

Okay, now watch carefully what I do here:

Did you see that? Did you see the "." after "assholes?" Notice there was a ", but did you know that this group does this and you're just a bigot and if you weren't just living in your trailer in backwoods Louisiana you would know that."

This is a thread about Muslims going to mosques and one of those mosques is a fucked up place. But is there any post from a Lib here just saying, "What a bunch of assholes?" Nope... its always got to be qualified or excused or ignored.

Its the same with terrorism. Like the Imam wanting to build the mosque near Ground Zero... he was recorded talking about Islamic terrorism but couldn't just leave it at that, he had to throw on a ", but America..."

I think that's whats getting so frustrating about this conversation in my opinion anyways.

What is the official stance of homosexuality among Catholics or Baptists or 99% of other Christian faiths? Many if given the choice would kill and beat and do whatever is necessary to remove homosexuality. Well except for the priests and their little boys.

Every time I've hung out with Muslims, it's been over drinks!

Sorry, Eberly, no imams present on the DR at the moment.

proof that doc thinks "real world knowledge" is nothing more than an internet connection.

I am not going to google a question like that and assign a position to an entire faith.

I think it would be more tolerant, respectful and fair to simply ask the question of someone who might actually know for a fact what the official position is.

But continue with personal attacks, hatred, bigotry and intolerance Doc.

It's all you have so you might as well go with it.

The most humble man I have ever met is a Muslim. This man once cried because someone accused him of stealing, it crushed him to think that anyone would believe that he would steal. This man has been ripped off many times, mostly by women because of his open and caring heart.

who might actually know for a fact what the official position is.

The "official position" is ... there is no official position.

Since Islam has no Central Processing Unit.. no Church.. no Pope... no Vatican.... we do not have an "official position".

"Shit there are places here in Kansas that an openly gay person would be beaten or killed."

I didn't know that. seriously.

We just have opinions and "schools of thought". Because none of these can claim to be "the official Islam" (even though the Wahabis do try), our schools of thought keep expanding.

Some become mainstream, some just die out.

Right now we have 83 very different versions of Islam in Pakistan alone.

God know how many others there are in the rest of the world.

This is actually a good thing, that makes Islam inherently flexible and able to change it's doctrines as the world changes.

It can also take a step back, like during the Iranian "revolution" when the Mullas turned Islam into "Political Islam".

However, that too will die out eventually.

And WHAT did that have to do with Islam???

Nothing... just like women stoned to death for adultery, couples executed for adultery, 7 year old boys hung for spying, peoples spines severed as a punishment, gays killed for being gay, women having to ask their husbands permission to learn to drive, and so on and so on and so on and so on...

Nothing to do with Islam... its just a terrible coincidence all this fucked up shit keeps coming out of countries that are 90%+ Muslim.

Just out of curiosity was anyone in that lynch mob not a Muslim?

But then I'm not an American.

And btw, nobody can allow or disallow gays from become Muslims. We can't "excommunicate" people since we don't have a central authority like the Vatican.

I think that's exactly the point I was trying to make in #142... thank you.

www.foxnews.com

No you are inferring that he happened to be Christian, this man did it BECAUSE he was a Christian.

And this only happened last year.

Richard, my point is that on every thread about Muslims, some Lib instead of decrying acts of Muslim terrorism, finds some crime that some Christian committed somewhere in time and brings that up.

Usually they try to associate Tim McVeigh and Christianity, or bring up America dropping the A-Bombs... Your "Hey look I found a Christian who shot someone once" example is a new one so you get points for that I guess.

Rob

And my point is that you are trying to make Muslims out to be worse than everybody else. They are just as fucked up as any other religion. I merely bring this up to maintain perspective, if you call yourself a Christian then you must own the acts of all Christians as much as you expect the Muslims to own the acts of terrorists.

"If you're as disgusted as I am by the round-the-clock media narrative that Muslims are anti-American subversives who attend "terror mosques," check out Ali and Tariq's excellent adventure."

We also have a round the clock media narrative that tells Muslims:

Americans hate you. Anyone who doesn't want a mosque next to ground zero hates all Muslims. Anyone who doesn't allow you to wear a mask in your drivers license photo hates you. Any employer who enforces their dress code hates you.

Why?

Muslims in the US were never crybabies with a sense of entitlement. But now they are being conditioned to believe that any time they are inconvenienced at all they should screech about prejudice. Is this going to help them or anyone else? Seems pretty divisive to me.

We even have people telling them that all this imaginary hatred should cause them to be more sympathetic with Al Queda.

What the fuck?

They are just as fucked up as any other religion

That is simply not true. A quick summary of any newspaper or news site will tell you that.

Just look at overwhelmingly Christian areas like North America and Europe, then compare them to overwhelmingly Muslim areas like the Middle East and parts of Asia.

Facts outweigh political correctness.

And this is where someone might come in on my North America/Europe vs. Middle East/Asia example and talk about how we're more secular especially in regards to government. That's true, but that means that they are ruled by Islam and are fucked up... you can't separate the two. Almost every country in the Middle East is over 85% Muslim.

As Tosser pointed out it has much more to do with gov't structure than the religion. Europe did not see freedom and reprieve from religious motivated violence until they moved to a representative gov't and removed much or religious power from gov't. Those monarchs are monarchs in name only today.

Americans are hooked on a drink that was invented by the Arabs (Coffee) and still believe in an Arab invented religion (Christianity) and then call the Arabs "fucked up". hahahahahahahahahaha

Why are you so afraid to discuss the topic of Islam. Show me that they don't have a massive problem of violence and oppression on a global scale.

You call me the coward, but you are the one who can't discuss the subject. You're the one trying to get me to go off topic to defend myself from your accusations.

If you want to call me a bigot and coward, fine, go ahead, I'm not going to stop pointing out that Muslims rioted for days, killing people because of a cartoon drawing. I'm not going to stop pointing out that these two Muslims in this story made a last minute course change and just happened to come across an intolerant and oppressive mosque and imam.

Anonymous bloggers calling me a bigot and/or a coward just doesn't bother me.

You have very little room to talk. I don't care for rob at all. He's a fucking asshole.

Blow me

zombiedouche your insults mean nothing because you are pathetic. You sound like one of the kids I used to beat up and steal lunch money from when I was working as a school security guard. I'll bet you are less of a man than they are and they were only in the 7th grade.

Richard,

I made no comments about how Christianity was non violent or excuse acts like the Tiller killing. I only challenged you on your assinine assertion about how gays are being beaten in Kansas by asking for one example. You have been running and deflecting ever since.

Doc was at least smart enough to let it go.

Perhaps you could try a little harder to not reveal your obvious hatred and intolerance for Christians.

Trust me Eberly I hate ALL religions but I hate them equally. Muslims are no worse than any other sick disillusioned religious person.

If you assertion about gays was actually had merit rather than a pathetic deflection then I would answer. You and I know that it does happen and there is no need to point out examples. Try being an adult. I know it's hard since you seem to have trouble not even name calling when talking to a person.

Kung pao: Legend of the Chicken's Fist

It was this guy.

en.wikipedia.org

Damn... until 5 minutes ago, I had no idea he was kaput.

In the 1970s he trained in Bando under Khalid near Purani Numaish (a neighbourhood in Karachi).

That's my Dojo.

In 1977 Peter Chong visited Pakistan to analyze the situation of Martial Arts in the country.[1] Disappointed with the local situation of Martial Arts, he decided to leave when in a chance encounter he met Khan at the departure airport.[1] Khan after realizing that Peter Chong was some sort of a formidable martial artist challenged him to a duel at the airport![1] Naturally, Peter Chong won but Khan was so humbled by him that he convinced Peter Chong to extend his stay in Pakistan. He brought Peter Chong to his home as his guest where Chong stayed for an entire month.[1] Impressed by his host's hospitality, Peter Chong in turn invited him to be his guest at his house in Singapore, which is where Chong taught him the Kyokushin kaikan style of fighting over a period of two years.

All bullshit. There was no Karate fight at Karachi airport... they would've been arrested for brawling. LOL

See? This is how Wiki can bullshit.

Truth is, he sent $10 to this Peter Chong guy and got a black belt in the mail 2 weeks later.

This guy did run a cheap restaurant too... I used to get the most amazing beef curry from there. His Dojo was across the street from his restaurant.

I could never tell my teachers I went there to this traitor's restaurant. To hell with him and his style.... I just went there for the food.

Anyway..... "30 mosques in 30 days" must be boring as hell. For me at least.

I would rather see 30 Dojos in 30 Days. See how good Americans are at traditional martial arts? Or have they watered down everything?

I was raised Catholic but based on very limited experience, if I still believed in the God, I'd think about converting to Russian Orthodox.

A couple of years ago, I went to a wake of a coworker who died suddenly at 47. To make it worse, he had a three year old son who was extremely confused about where his father was. Obviously, everyone there thought it was a great tragedy. A minister came out and started blabbering about how "God works in mysterious ways" and all that nonsense. To me, he was saying the same kind of mystical nonsense a Catholic priest would say, only he didn't even have the decency to dress up like a wizard before doing so.

Then a Russian Orthodoz priest comes out. He's dressed like a wizard, which I appreciated. Only his wizard robes are all black instead of the femme colors I'm used to seeing Catholic priests wear. So he's an even cooler wizard. He's in front of the room and his eyes are looking at his feet and he's shaking his head and muttering "I don't know. I don't know why stuff like this happens. I don't have an answer. This is terrible." And I'm thinking "FINALLY! Some honesty from one of these jackasses. This death was terrible and there was no friggin silver lining." Then Russian Orthodox dude whips out a water wand and sprinkles the crowd and sits back down.

I started to realize, this guy was my ideal clergyman: He dresses like a wizard, which I appreciate in my clergy. But he didn't look like a gay wizard, which was better. And he also didn't claim to have all the answers or that a giant shit sandwhich of a situation like a guy with a young kid dying at age 47 was secretly good but we were just too dumb to figure out why. He called the shit sandwich a shit sandwich, sprinkled us with the water and sat the hell down. This was the greatest holy man I've ever seen.

If you must be religious: Russian Orthodoxy FTW!

Trust me Eberly I hate ALL religions but I hate them equally. Muslims are no worse than any other sick disillusioned religious person.

sure you do. However, coincidentally, you have bashed Christianity countless times but haven't uttered a peep about Muslim extremism.

And this is a thread ABOUT the Muslim Faith. I didn't even accuse of you of not hating the Muslim religion. I only mentioned your assertion of Kansans beating up gays and you deflectted into your anti-Christian tirade and I didn't attack Muslims at all nor stumped for Christianity and the horrible acts committed in the name of Christiananity. I have no problem with attacking those acts.

and all you can do is tell me to go fuck myself.

riiiiiiiight, who need to grow up?

This will happen Dickspit and you will make more ridiculous accusations towards people who haven't done a damn thing to you and you wont' be able to back it up. you have done it before and I have beat you over the head with it again and again.

"However, coincidentally, you have bashed Christianity countless times but haven't uttered a peep about Muslim extremism. "

It's not surprising that a non-theist would bash the dominant religion in their particular country. For an American blogger, that would be Christianity. Big deal.

Since Christians started both world wars

Both World Wars were started in Europe by Europeans and by your own logic Europeans are predominantly Christian, so.....

Just climbing on the roof of your trailer and waving your dick in front of the world won't get you anywhere, you know. You got to read some books sometime too.

"Since Christians started both world wars" Adolf Hitler was not a christian...

According to historian Bradley F. Smith, Hitler's father Alois, though nominally a Catholic, was somewhat religiously sceptical,[1] while his mother was a practicing Catholic.[2] According to historian Michael Rissmann, young Hitler was influenced in school by Pan-Germanism and began to reject the Catholic Church, receiving Confirmation only unwillingly. A boyhood friend reports that after Hitler had left home, he never again attended a Catholic Mass or received the Church's Sacraments.

And I had no idea there were any Christians in the Japanese Military Industrial body who planned pearl harbor.

You have been brain washed by your Imam there tosser.... I suggest you ask for your donations back...

"You got to read some books sometime too."

Earlier:

think part that should be added to the narrative is the that Muslims also have this bullshit attitude of "why us?" for why they're getting fucked with lately in this country. Oh... gee... I don't know, maybe because of the thousands of Americans killed by muslims through cowardly acts of terrorism spanning decades. Maybe that has something to do with it... might also have something to do with the state of Islam in the Middle East and Asia and a few European nations.

So, what you're saying is, we have a Constitutional right to fuck with Muslims, such as protesting their mosques.

Is protesting abortion clinics and military funerals no longer "edgy" enough for you, Mr. Phelps?

I was told it started in the US when the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor....

I'm sorry to tell you but the Japanese did not start WW2.

Hitler was not a christian. His parents were but after childhood he swore it off. He hated Catholicism and it's leaders. He used it as an excuse ( The jews killed Christ) to kill a lot of people he didn't like. And, As is typical I said excluding World Wars... Using Hitler as an example of modern Christians is like using Jeffery Domer as an example of how all white males act.... Stupid.

My feelings as a Christian points me to my Lord and Savior as a fighter. It points me to the man who once in loneliness, surrounded by a few followers, recognized these Jews for what they were and summoned men to fight against them and who, God's truth! was greatest not as a sufferer but as a fighter. In boundless love as a Christian and as a man I read through the passage which tells us how the Lord at last rose in His might and seized the scourge to drive out of the Temple the brood of vipers and adders. ...Today, after two thousand years, with deepest emotion I recognize more profoundly than ever before the fact that it was for this that He had to shed his blood upon the Cross. ...

Seriously, do you know absolutely nothing about the Constitution or is it that you are just stupid? Its okay to be stupid, just let everyone know so that its on the record.

Given the cases alluded to here -- "Children Abused, Killed As Witches In Nigeria" (www.cnn.com) 'twould appear some Christians" are killing "witches" and "wizzards" in the name of religion. Ergo, the Mosque Bashersr and other nativist Know Nothings seem to be telling me, all Christians are to blame.

We don't disagree on this.

There's a story from the World War I era, told, as was the wont of the time, with an Oirish lilt. It boiled down to this: the Americans, French, Germans and others, all praying to God. How do we know God's on "our" side? "Why, how the hell could he understand 'em?"

Religion and belief in an Almighty is often the vehicle, the excuse used for horrific behavior. And by engaging in that behavior, one excludes the possiblility of acting in a manner consistent with the original, stated belief. But that often doesn't seem to phase folks. Unfortunately.

Rob_The_A_Hole,

I believe you missed my point. Obviously Fred Phelps has a Constitutional right to protest. That does not render his protestation wise, credulous, or suitable behavior among civilized folk.

You do not view the ground zero mosque protesters in the same light as the Westboro Baptist Church. Sensible people do.

Or I guess if you have a poll showing that over 60% of the country is not sensible that would work too, but then it would also contradict the low poll numbers supporting the WBC.

So see, you're fucked either way.

And maybe there were, but I don't recall ever reading about Japanese terrorists in this country during world war II especially not Japanese Americans so it seems like they really had nothing to fear.

There was at least one example: A team of five Germans spies snuck ashore in Jacksonville during World War II:

They were planning to attack industrial targets and explode bombs in bus terminals and other crowded places. The FBI caught them and they were executed within months of arriving.

Saying "I'm not against the mosque, but ..." seems like a copout to me. You either believe in freedom of religion or you don't. Freedom of religion isn't very free if the building of a house of worship attracts protests and harassment.

I think they should be completely left alone to build their mosque, and if people are fired up by the location, they should either buy the building from them or shut their pieholes. Republicans used to care about the right of religions to build houses of worship where they desired without interference.

If Republicans are trying to get the Federal Government to step in and stop people from worshiping their God on private property then they've gone too far and go against everything the GOP stands for. As long as they're just protesting outside, or using the media to express their opinions they are doing nothing wrong, and in fact what they are doing is very much American.

Freedom in America:

The Mosque is built.

The Protesters peaceably protest.

The counter-protesters call the protesters names.

Freedom of Religion check
Freedom of Expression check
Freedom of Speech check

What a great country!

I think part that should be added to the narrative is the that Muslims also have this bullshit attitude of "why us?" for why they're getting fucked with lately in this country. Oh... gee... I don't know, maybe because of the thousands of Americans killed by muslims through cowardly acts of terrorism spanning decades. Maybe that has something to do with it... might also have something to do with the state of Islam in the Middle East and Asia and a few European nations.

Golly, they killed thousands over decades! Which means Muslims amount to 0.1% the danger of drunk drivers.

Here's a clue: How 'bout you go protest a liquor store and a Ford dealership if it means so much to you. And try breathing through your nose for a change.

You either believe in freedom to peacefully protest or you don't.

In other news, you and 60% of Americans believe the mosque should be built elsewhere, the lip service you just paid the Constitution notwithstanding.

re: #273
RCADE-
I think we're in agreement that we believe in freedom of speech and freedom of religion. I think we can also agree on a couple of concepts:
1. That neither of those two freedoms is absolute (without restrictions).
2. That because someone has the right to do something doesn't make it the right thing to do.

It's that second one where issues of propriety and provocation come into play. That I may have a legal right to build my KKK headquarters next to the NAACP headquarters doesn't mean it should happen. I'd hope cooler heads would prevail.

By the way, if local authorities voted to change local zoning to force them to move, would you be OK with that... since "the law" would dictate it be moved?

I agree that ultimately the city will buy the land or that there will be some sort of deal struck to move the mosque - allowing everyone to save face, to a degree. I'd rather see no church in that area. Let it be something free of the controversies over faith/politics and let be a memorial to those who perished.

To illustrate my point about one's right to act not always being the right thing to do... a hypothetical for a moment... if you were offered a great job out of state, but your family objected due to their personal feelings about their home and its surroundings, would you ultimately take the job? No one disputes you have the right to take it. Yet before acting/taking the job, you no doubt take into account the feelings of others.

In other news, you and 60% of Americans believe the mosque should be built elsewhere, the lip service you just paid the Constitution notwithstanding.

Bullshit. I have zero opinion on the mosque being built where it is. It's not really my business or my concern.

That because someone has the right to do something doesn't make it the right thing to do.

True, but as I said I don't think building the mosque there is the wrong thing to do. I wouldn't have an opinion on a church or synagogue being built there either. It's a matter for those Muslims and the local zoning board and other city regulators.

By the way, if local authorities voted to change local zoning to force them to move, would you be OK with that... since "the law" would dictate it be moved?

At this point, yes I would have a problem with it. The zoning authorities already OK'd the project there. Backtracking in the face of a right-wing smear campaign would be wrong.

Here's a clue: How 'bout you go protest a liquor store and a Ford dealership if it means so much to you.

So to you there is no difference between voluntarily drinking yourself to death and having a plane crash into your office killing you instantly.

You are stupid.

Bullshit. I have zero opinion on the mosque being built where it is. It's not really my business or my concern.

I think that was from Snoofy to me... but he's so unbelievably dumb i'm not even sure anymore.

OIC. Sorry Snoofy. I said bullshit to you over nothing.

So to you there is no difference between voluntarily drinking yourself to death and having a plane crash into your office killing you instantly.

No, there's a huge difference. Between drunk drivers and Muslim extremists, I know which one is a greater danger to me, by a factor of like 10,000.

Do you?

As a New York resident I feel they have a right to build a mosque there but the common sense thing to do would be to build it someplace else... I don't like the idea of a mosque at ground zero. I went there last weekend. I saw where the building is and in my opinion it's too close to the place where 3000 people were killed.... Whomever they were religiously the victims of 9/11 are both dead and living. I was here on 9/11... I was horrified at the death and destruction I saw two days later when I was at ground zero... I don't wish to have a mosque there... You can't tell me people aren't going to go there and gloat over the event from within those walls. It's like letting custers old 7th cav build a catholic church in the middle of an indian grave yard... It's just not done....

I don't like the idea of a mosque at ground zero.....I don't wish.

Who cares what you like or dislike?

I love the idea of a Mosque at the 9/11 massacre. To me it is the ultimate FU to neocons everywhere. They are basically saying we killed 3000 Americans and we are going to rub it in and there is nothing you can do to stop us. This will be a lasting reminder of the republican failures that occurred on that day.

"As a New York resident I feel they have a right to build a mosque there but the common sense thing to do would be to build it someplace else..."

I've said all along that if you do something that unnecessarily causes grief for others just because you are within your rights to do it: You are a prick.

I compare building a mosque at this site to farting in a crowded elevator. Am I "within my rights" to do it? Yes. Does that mean nobody in the elevator has a right to take offense? No. Its fucking rude to bust ass in an elevator whether its legal to do so or not.

But most people would rather oversimplifying everything into their "good guy/bad guy" world view where on every issue one side is 100% right and the other is 100% wrong than think.

When people see the mosque it will be a painful reminder of how republicans let them down. I will rejoice when this mosque is complete. I hope they have a 9/11 Islamic parade.

I compare building a mosque at this site to farting in a crowded elevator.

I would say it's like bringing perfume into an elevator full of American farts.

I will rejoice when this mosque is complete.

Criminal, isn't the prayer room in your pokey big enough for you?

Anyway, you all.... watch the video here.

www.drudge.com

It sums up everything.

"I would say it's like bringing perfume into an elevator full of American farts."

I'm surprised you are here today. I would have thought you would be out harrassing foreign aid workers. You know, the chance to stick it to infidels in person and all.....

I would have thought you would be out harrassing foreign aid workers.

Nawww.... not my thing. Besides, I haven't seen any.

You know, the chance to stick it to infidels in person and all.....

Why would I do that when bringing tar and feathers to the Retort is so much easier?

No... I poop here.... not out in the sun where it's bad for my complexion.

Tosser you need to start calling me brother. Especially on a Friday.

How about I call you Chootiya instead?

And from the truly insane we get things like this "This will be a lasting reminder of the republican failures that occurred on that day"

I compare building a mosque at this site to farting in a crowded elevator.

In other words, it's something that happens all the time and isn't a big deal at all, and the sort of thing only a batshit crazy insane person like Fred Phelps would bother protesting.

Essentially, a non-event.

Mark my words...

The mosque if built will cause trouble or get in trouble in the future..

We will find out that either people are in there gloating over the 9/11 attack, or an Imam will preach something that pisses everyone off, or there will be terrorists found to have worshiped there in the future .

If you don't live in New York, It's none of your business anyway...

I don't tell you what should and shouldn't go on in texas or any other state.

Fact is... If it were put to a general vote in this state... There wold be zero mosques at ground zero...

Bullshit it is none of my business. When Nationalism is being used to deny people their basic American rights, it is everyone's business.

General vote is meaningless as rights are not distributed based on popularity.

The KEY to TOLERANCE is putting up with what you don't like. You want tolerance, but refuse to show any. You want us to respect your beliefs and your right to worship how and where you want; show others the same respect.

And you can't say that NY is a right wing wingnut state...

I've said all along that if you do something that unnecessarily causes grief for others just because you are within your rights to do it: You are a prick.

The cartoonists who drew pictures of Mohammed caused grief to others. Does that make them pricks? It is impossible in this society -- with so many opportunists out there sparking outrage for a living -- to not hurt somebody's feelings with anything you do.

"The KEY to TOLERANCE is putting up with what you don't like"

Someone should tell that to the Imams in Iran who want to stone a woman to death for adultery...

Mark my words...

I'll mark them down as the words of a clueless sack of shit.

If you don't live in New York, It's none of your business anyway...

Applying the same logic, you shouldn't be concerned with affairs beyond the confines of your mobile home park. Unless, of course, you see a tornado coming.

Fact is... If it were put to a general vote in this state... There wold be zero mosques at ground zero...

Religious freedom is a fundamental right not subject to the whims of the electorate. Quit bitching.

Are the Imams in the US any different? The ones calling for Sheria law in the US? I think not.... They will be down there preaching Death To America.... Freedom of speech doesn't cover inciting hatred and causing people to get killed.

But for now my guess is that the mosque will never be built...

Fagetaboutit!

Someone should tell that to the Imams in Iran who want to stone a woman to death for adultery...

So, because Iran is wrong, you want America to be as well? Is this a race to the bottom? Or is America a better country because we tolerate what we don't like?

Seems like you would be much happier in Iran. You keep using them as a justification for your hate.

It's odd. In reality the country exemplifies the futility of trying to engineer an ideologically homogeneous, socially conservative society without brutality. Instead, people take it as further proof that everything between the Jordan River and the Pacific Ocean would make a nice parking lot. It's pretty funny that the people who believe this are supportive of the same ideologies that created that regime in the first place.

Find an old Khomeini speech. Change things to do with Islam to things about Christianity. Substitute Democrats, liberal elite, and any country but Israel for things to do with the Shah and the US. It's not too much of a stretch to imagine Glenn Beck or some apeshit crazy radio jockey reading it.

HAHA. You are funny.

Go for it. We can compare your bile with mine. I bet you win hands down.

In the end... Nobody could post any links of the type I was looking for up top...

No Catholics Killing children in the press... Hijacking planes.... No Boat Hijackings.... No Christians flying planes into buildings.... Nothing like that...

No Christians killing Islamists for preaching their faith to others....

Nope... Didn't see a single post....

What I saw is people taking the word of Adolf Hitler of all people because he stated that he was a practicing catholic...

The Nutz is read deep in this room.....

Here is a dose of New York reality for the folks like Tosser..

If Tone from Brooklyn says "Fagetaboutit! Your lovely mosque will never be built. And I believe tha man has spoken those exact words my friends....

Fagetaboutit!

No Catholics Killing children in the press

Nazis... Catholics... killed plenty of kids.

Hijacking planes

More Christians have hijacked planes than Muslims.

Look it up. LOL

No Boat Hijackings

Christians released a toxic cloud of dioxine gas in Bhopal, India, killing and maiming tens of thousands. Who the hell cares about a boat? That's small potatoes.

No Christians flying planes into buildings

American Christian flew a plane into the IRS building.

No Christians killing Islamists for preaching their faith to others...

They lack the guts.

If Tone from Brooklyn

Who?

Should I know this "tone"? LOL

No Christians killing Islamists for preaching their faith to others...


Except in Iraq and Afghanistan, but don't let facts bother you.

As Rush Limbaugh said: We are at war with Islam; there is no Islamic Government for us to war with.

"The cartoonists who drew pictures of Mohammed caused grief to others. Does that make them pricks? It is impossible in this society -- with so many opportunists out there sparking outrage for a living -- to not hurt somebody's feelings with anything you do."

I think its kind of common sense not to build a cultural center in honor of the culture that produced the 9/11 terrorists in the shadow of Ground Zero. The terrorist don't represent the whole culture but they represent a small part of it.

I can't imagine that if the IRA were guilty of 9/11, that Irish Americans would build an Irish Cultural Center at the same location. And it wouldn't be due to guilty feelings either. It would be out of common sense and not wanting to be seen as rubbing it in or being insensitive to the people who were murdered, their families and the people who had to scrape them off the pavement. Even though most Irish people don't like it, on some level they own the fact that the IRA is part of Irish culture.

I know your position is that there is nothing offensive or insensitive about the actions of the people building this cultural center. Honestly, its hard for me to take that position seriously as I can't imagine any mentally competent human being not understanding why this is just not appropriate. Yes, its emotional arguement more than an intellectual one but its an emotional arguement that most people categorize under common sense and good manners.

Should I know this "tone"? LOL

Maybe he's talkin' 'bout Tone Loc.

Rapper, had a few hits a while back including "Funky Cold Medina", "Wild Thing" and "Cheeba Cheeba".

Spud's especially fond of that last one.

Actually, He's just an rtarded dittohead repeating the current RW meme expounded by Lush Dumbo and others that the Mosque will not be built because "Patriotic" American steelworkers and the like will refuse to work on it.

How Rtards managed to turn bigotry into patriotism in their own wee minds is beyond Spud's ken.

Be Well.

Seems tosser views all whits as christians... The Nazi's don't count... And.... They were Nazis not christians...

So you found the lone nut who flew his plane into the irs? Nice ... Yea that will tip the scale for ya....

I misspelled the name ... It's Tony from Brooklyn.... And no you shouldn't know him... He would snap your arrogant little neck.....

FuGetaboutit!

Tosser needs to follow my example of how a good Muslim should live.

Freedom of speech doesn't go to far in Brooklyn there tosser... You have to back up your mouth there... You'd get your ass kicked in five minutes "LOL" to you too.

I can't imagine that if the IRA were guilty of 9/11, that Irish Americans would build an Irish Cultural Center at the same location. And it wouldn't be due to guilty feelings either. It would be out of common sense and not wanting to be seen as rubbing it in or being insensitive to the people who were murdered, their families and the people who had to scrape them off the pavement.

This is the Age of the Messiah.

Anything is possible in this new age.

Even though most Irish people don't like it, on some level they own the fact that the IRA is part of Irish culture.

Why on earth should I own the 9-11 hijackers?

I'm afraid it doesn't work like that for us. They were Saudis and I am not.

I have a good friend who lost a small child. Our other friends who have small kids generally don't talk about their kids in front of him and his wife unless they ask.

Why? Is it wrong for my other friends to have kids? Is it wrong for them to proud of them and want to talk about them?

No. They just don't want to bring back horrible memories for people who suffered a loss. So they alter their behavior a bit as to not do that rather than running their mouths off about their brats all the time and then getting self righteous about it if someone tells them to tone it down.

That's just how considerate people behave in our culture. I'm shocked that so many people pretend not to know this.

And I see Spud in Canada is running hi mouth again on how we should live and what we should think and the way we should act in America...

Very intelligent that spud.... You're the smartest ass in the room there spuds...

"Why on earth should I own the 9-11 hijackers?"

Islamic culture in general should own and address its terrorism problem. Pretending it doesn't exist hasn't worked.

"I'm afraid it doesn't work like that for us. They were Saudis and I am not."

Extremism is part of Islamic culture- especially in Pakistan. You can play stupid all you want but I'm not going along for the ride.

Any of you have the balls to predict weather or not the mosque gets built? I say it will never get built.... Not on that spot anyway...

Anybody else?

The Nazi's don't count

I'm afraid they do count.

They were Nazis not christians...

Yes they were.

So you found the lone nut who flew his plane into the irs?

You asked "give me an example" and I gave you a perfect example. No more no less. Why complain?

He would snap your arrogant little neck.....

Oh, I doubt any of you could do that. LOL

You'd get your ass kicked in five minutes

I doubt it, seriously.

People in NY and in America have proven themselves cowards being afraid of a Mosque. LOL

Nobody is kicking anyone's ass.

Blabber I say it gets built and you are forced to convert. The prophecy is that everyone will eventually become Muslim.

Extremism is part of Islamic culture- especially in Pakistan.

The Pakistan Army took care of the "extremists" and the Monsoon took care of the rest of them. LOL

And no, extremism is not part of Islamic culture. I have yet to experience it personally.

When I do, I might change my opinion.

Most of the 1.6 Billion just want to mind their own business.

The prophecy is that everyone will eventually become Muslim.

One day, yes.

Sorry... but that's the way the cookie crumbles.

I get a real tummy-ache thinking Americans will be Muslims one day... I really hate the idea... but the prophecy is there and I have to accept it since other prophecies have come true.

Islamic culture in general should own

Oh and I don't know what you mean by "Islamic Culture".

What is that? I don't know. Seems like American media created nonsense.

Is there something called "Christian culture" or "Catholic culture"? No?

I mean I know of Pakistani-cultures (most of them), British culture (only that of the English), Afghan-Pathan culture.... but I have no idea WTF "Islamic culture" is?

Most of the 1.6 Billion just want to mind their own business.

The closest thing humanity will see to everyone facing mecca in prayer is probably centuries off. The remnants of the human race will have taken to the stars. Together they look back at the dying husk of a world they left, awed by how far the species has come and how far it has fallen.

Wow, jackass. You can use urbandictionary.com pat yourself on the back.

Thanks coward.

"The prophecy is that everyone will eventually become Muslim" And why should we believe that one above all the others that never came true...

"People in NY and in America have proven themselves cowards being afraid of a Mosque"

Nobody is afraid of the Mosque being Built... They simply don't want it built.

The oldest mosque in America was built in the state of Iowa Feb 1934. So they have been here for a while....

You don't seem to comprehend nor care for other peoples needs and wants.... We don't have a Japanese Church at ground zero in Pearl Harbor... Because that would be wrong to put one there.... Though Japanese Americans have every right to put one there... They wouldn't dare. Because it would be wrong....

The Muslim people feel that they need to be treated special. Well I say the hell with you and your Mohammed and your Koran too....

I know you feel that you Muslims are just so superior that you can do what you want regardless of who thinks what....

The fact is your not superior... Of the 1.6 Billion of you... Most are in countries that are poverty stricken... Third world nations... Most of you still eat and wipe your asses with your bare hands... When you are modernized the masses will walk away from the insane Imams....

Islam will shrink to nothing once people are educated. With education come wealth and freedom... Something Islam doesn't allow for.

Here's the average persons take on Islam... The Koran was written not in the time of Mohammad but decades after his demise. (Died of poisoning) Mohammad was illiterate and never wrote anything.

How is it then that the book which was completely written by men motivated to conquer the masses can be taken seriously? Mohammad never wrote squat because the man couldn't write... He was an uneducated person....

As far as the Angel Gabriel visiting him... Were there any witnesses listed in the Koran... I wouldn't know because I never read it...

The whole thing just seems suspect to me because back when these books like the bible and the koran were written... Angels were flying all over the place visiting people.... And Personally I have never heard of one in recent history.... Most of the Koran was taken from the old testiment and even the Torah... Nothing origional there...


Someone is being wrong on the internet?

* resurfaces *

We don't have a Japanese Church at ground zero in Pearl Harbor...

*facepalm*

Yer analogy is inapt.

Japan is a country.

Islam is a religion.

Terrorism is a tactic.

And there *is* a Japanese cultural center within a few blocks of Pearl Harbor.

"Muslims can build a Mosque in NY in much the same way that Catholics can put up a church next to a schoolyard."

It's the least I would do for a needle-dicked imbecile like you. Do tell, jackass... what makes me such a coward?

"Japan is a country."

Yes and a Japanese church would be a Shinto or Buddhism temple... Man you guys are like children...

While you're splitting hairs...

Mohammad was poisoned after the battle of Khaybar by a Jew woman belonging to the Banu Nadir tribe. The Nadir tribe was one of three that Mohammad had banished from the area which caused great hardship issues for those people at the time no doubt.

"Mohammad was poisoned after the battle of Khaybar by a Jew woman belonging to the Banu Nadir tribe. The Nadir tribe was one of three that Mohammad had banished from the area which caused great hardship issues for those people at the time no doubt."

There is nothing that Muslims accuse the US of doing that Mohammed didn't do in his heyday.

"While you're splitting hairs..."

The downside to fellatio and cunnilingus.

What's that you say? Splitting hairs?

Sorry. Never mind.

So Mohammad was killed by a woman... Thus we have the Burka today and the horrendous treatment of women by the Islamic culture....

"I mean I know of Pakistani-cultures (most of them), British culture (only that of the English), Afghan-Pathan culture.... but I have no idea WTF "Islamic culture" is?"

If the women in your town are afraid to raise their voices for fear of being beaten by a shoe.... You're probably living in an islamic culture....

If the women in your town are not allowed to wear a miniskirt in public for fear of being killed for it.... You're probably living in an islamic culture....

If the women in your town are forced to cover themselves up from head to toe in public....... You're probably living in an islamic culture....

If the women in your town are shot to death for even being suspected of being connected to prostitution.... You're probably living in an islamic culture....

If the women in your town are made to walk behind their husbands at all times in public.... You're probably living in an islamic culture....

If the women in your town are not allowed to have a drivers license... You're probably living in an islamic culture....

If you read in your local newspaper that people inside your country were beheaded because they refused to convert to Islam or were suspected of being a CIA spy.... You're probably living in an islamic culture....

If the men in your town show up to a town meeting or a gathering with AK-47's.... You're probably living in an islamic culture....

If people in your country are wiped for disobeying the religious ru;es set out by the local crazy Imam.... You're probably living in an islamic culture....

Flat out wrong.

during revelation, Muhammad was instructed to change Qibla (direction of prayer) to make a distinction between Islam and Judaism.

So you are gay? At least you are out of the closet now.

"So Mohammad was killed by a woman... Thus we have the Burka today and the horrendous treatment of women by the Islamic culture...."

A common lie that is perpetuated by haters, but one that is wrong. Muhammad consumed poison, but knew it was posioned, being infromed by the food itself, and only consimed a small portion, and even though it affected him, he did not die until three to four years later! Some poison! And prophet Jesus, supposedly son of God, was crucified by man. These lies are perpetuated by dishonest Christian zealots who seek to convert Muslims to Christianity, although they slap Jesus in the face by arguing that if a prophet is killed by another human in a debased fashion, then they are not a true prophet.

and the Burka is not Islamic, but a cultural tradtion that doesn't even have its genesis in an Arab country! So Blabbermouth, you really are... just a blabbermouth.

Go peddle your deceit elsewhere...

Muhammad was instructed to change Qibla (direction of prayer) to make a distinction between Islam and Judaism.

Correct.

As you can see, Blabbermouth has been spewing nonsense, from start to finish. Some of it was even funny.

Cool, Tossy is getting a little Jihad gang together...Nice, we need a Al Queda cell peddling the death cult of islam here!

Baboo is harmless...It's the fucking soup Nazi I'm worried about!

Mohamed was poisoned by Jews and died?

Idiot, he died of meningitis, much much later. LOL

Copy-pasting from a Christian-Fundo website (yes, the first ones that pop up in Google) would just make a historical fool out of you. I checked them out and they are full of errors, even very basic ones.

What a minute, who is Rex?

RCADE... Whats the matter with you? Whenever I call for an air-strike, you are out taking a whizz. By the time you get to action stations, Rex has danced all over the place!

I can see Rex right here. Bastard is standing two feet away from my nose! And he is going to play his shitty music anytime, no doubt. Do something!

No, it quite explicitly means chronic masturbator, "Tosser".

It also means irritating asshole.

There is more than one meaning to a word.... As you know, we don't speak your limited American-english.... our vocabulary is a bit more diverse.

Can you describe the ruckus?

What "ruckus", Rex?

Here is a look at life in the great Pakistan where tosser is from...

Looks like Pajama people living like shit to me...

If the women in your town are afraid to raise their voices for fear of being beaten by a shoe.... You're probably living in an islamic culture....

And if the women of our town are elected to Parliament, that too is "Islamic culture"? LOL

And listen... this beating by a shoe... We are not discussing your family life.

We are talking about if there is such a thing called "Islamic culture" and Christian Culture.

Anyone with common sense would tell you, cultures are based on nationality... not religion. UNLESS the religion is unique to that country.

Look it up, stupido... LOL. IF you can read a book.

If the women in your town are not allowed to have a drivers license

That's "Saudi culture" and I don't think it happens anywhere else.

If the men in your town show up to a town meeting or a gathering with AK-47's.... You're probably living in an islamic culture....

Again... "Pathan culture", not "Islamic".

All the rest is your imagination caused by extra fluoride in trailer-park water supply.

The Koran was written not in the time of Mohammad but decades after his demise.

Here is an example of why high-school drop-outs shouldn't be given internet access....

The Koran WAS written in Mohamed's time.... it was COMPILED into one book years after he passed away.

And Mohamed was never poisoned... or else it would've been mentioned in the Koran.

As you know, the Koran, as well as being a religious text, is also an accurate historical record of the time... like a diary.

How is it then that the book which was completely written by men motivated to conquer the masses can be taken seriously?

We take it seriously because Americans are having a real tough time over it. LOL

The Koran managed to convert the planet from the edge of Africa to Indonesia (and still going strong). So it's pretty serious, I would say.

The Quran was first revealed on the Night of al-Qadr. It took a 23 years for the entire Quran to be revealed. Mohamed recited it to his Caliphs who in turn wrote it all down.

Mohamed recited it to his Caliphs who in turn wrote it all down.

In between cracking jokes about fucking 9 year olds.

'A'isha reported that Allah's Apostle married her when she was seven years old, and he was taken to his house AS A BRIDE WHEN SHE WAS NINE, AND HER DOLLS WERE WITH HER; and when he (the Holy Prophet) died she was eighteen years old. (Sahih Muslim, Book 008, Number 3311)

'A'isha reported that she used to PLAY WITH DOLLS in the presence of Allah's Messenger and when her playmates came to her they left (the house) because they felt shy of Allah's Messenger whereas Allah's Messenger sent them to her. (Sahih Muslim, Book 031, Number 5981)

When the Apostle of Allah arrived after the expedition to Tabuk or Khaybar (the narrator is doubtful), the draught raised an end of a curtain which was hung in front of her store-room, revealing some dolls which belonged to her.

He asked: What is this? She replied: My dolls. Among them he saw a horse with wings made of rags, and asked: What is this I see among them? She replied: A horse. He asked: What is this that it has on it? She replied: Two wings. He asked: A horse with two wings? She replied: Have you not heard that Solomon had horses with wings? She said: Thereupon the Apostle of Allah laughed so heartily that I could see his molar teeth. (Sunan Abu Dawud, Book 41, Number 4914)
